Study and Practices of the Energy Body
Wednesdays @ 7pm | Learn about the Energy Body using practices from the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra
Service Description
WEDNESDAYS WEEKLY @ 7PM ************************************** Join me for a deep dive into the various aspects of the Energy Body. This course strips away modern myths to reveal the transformative power of traditional Tantrik wisdom. You will learn to: • Understand chakras beyond the westernised 7-chakra system • Breathe through the central channel (shushumna) and the left and right nadis (ida and pingala) • Navigate the 5 Koshas: Move through the layers of your being to find the core of awareness. • Master the Three Bindus: Discover the essence points of the Head, Heart, and Belly • Practice "Emotional Digestion": Use the ancient method of haṭha-pāka to resolve the "unfinished energy patterns" (saṃskāras) that keep you stuck in the past. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this course provides source material and practices from the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra* of Abhinavagupta in combination with the translations and teachings of Hareesh Christopher Wallis. **Included within this course is my brand new Energy Body Workbook that includes journal reflections, meditation logs and content summaries as well as references for further reading. The workbook is currently available in PDF format, but will also be available to purchase in hard copy in the weeks to come. Classes will be held weekly in 8-week term blocks that approximately align with the school term. The course will commence with an introduction to the energy body and progressively build over the course of the year. Previous meditation experience is preferred, and attendees must demonstrate an ability to sit for a minimum of 20-minute sessions. Fees are per 8 week term and this includes: * All 8 classes * Handouts and practice journal * Access to an online discussion forum NB: Weekly payments may also be available, please reach out to discuss. Bookings are essential. Please also note that this course will not proceed if there are less than 3 people booked. *The Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (VBT) is a text of the Śaiva Tantrik tradition, also known as Tantric Shaivism or ‘Kashmīr Shaivism’, and it appeared around the middle of the ninth Century (Hareesh.Org, 2022)
