The Subtle Body, Ep. 2: Charles Stang and Simon Cox
Charles Stang, a Harvard scholar of early Christian mysticism, and Simon Cox, a Daoist-trained martial artist and author on subtle-body histories, explore how the subtle body appears across traditions. They trace its philosophical roots, its travels through Orientalism and New Age thought, and its role in practices from Taoist alchemy to Esalen-style embodiment experiments.
