Once we can look beyond the mind’s busy-ness, we gain access to a brilliant inner world of light, sound, pulsation, presence - Prana! This self-guiding intelligence connects us to a higher reality, the Self of all. It awakens us to our inner teacher as it begins us on the journey of expansion. Our focus on prana vidya (the science of prana) is a defining aspect of Tantric meditation.
As we walk through the doorway of the quiet mind, we enter the realm of prana. In this module, we take a deep dive into the nature of very prana and how it relates to the mind, the breath, and relaxation. We examine the subtle anatomy of nadiis and chakras to understand how our energy pathways may be blocked, and what different blockages might look like in the world. We introduce the science of purification - of using prana to clear our blockages and expand our consciousness. We learn techniques to help us become more and more aware of that subtle inner reality that is ever-present, shaping our perceptions and therefore our thoughts, speech and actions. As we learn broadly about the unique energy centers and their spheres of influence, we’ll pay special attention to the ajna chakra (third eye). Our journey to the inner world begins here.
