What are the Yogas on Dream, Sleep & Death?
Dream and Sleep Yogas are a rarely taught category of teachings and practices. This cycle of teachings explains the relationship between the states of dream, sleep, waking and full enlightenment.
It is often said in the non-dual meditation and yoga traditions that in order for you to attain irreversible realization you must be fully realized in the dream and sleep states as well as in the waking state. This means to have completely pierced the limitations of the mind of the dreaming and sleeping states, and thereby abide in your true nature.
Applying the practices of dream and sleep yoga feeds your formal seated practice and your state of integration.
Program includes:
-Dream Yoga Mantra Initiation
- Step-by-step instruction in the Outer & Inner practices of:
-Dream Yoga- Sleep Yoga of Clear Light
- Text references to the practices and their desired results.
- Clarifying the various categories of dreams to understand their significance in your spiritual practice and overall trajectory.
- Clarifying significant dream symbology as a system of feedback from your inner psyche on the process of kundalinī awakening and expansion.
About the Death & Dying Teachings:
Death is considered to be the most important and pivotal experience in a yogin’s life. It is the one moment when you can permanently recognize your own True Nature or svasvabhava, and become liberated even if you were not able to free yourself from samsara during your lifetime.
The ancient teachings on death and dying give you the tools and understanding to successfully navigate the dying process and the after death states. By applying the death practices in your daily spiritual routine and invoking their effect at the moment of death, you will increase your opportunity to attain full realization in this lifetime.
Program includes:
- Teachings and practices on death and dying as a moment to moment integration practice resulting in rapid movement through the first 6 stages of the 12 Stage View Teaching.
- Transmission of the Brhadaranyaka Upanisad chant performed as meditation on death and impermanence as well as for benefitting those who are dying.
- Transmission of the Mahāmrtyunjaya and its three “bija” or seed syllables, and how to use it for cultivating non-attachment and how to dedicate it for the benefit of those who have just died and are transiting the after-death states.
- Clear explanation of the process of the dissolution of the 5 elements during the various types of death one may encounter, and how to usefully assist the dissolution process, instead of impede it.
- Explanations of the different types of “deaths” attainable through practicing non- dual Dharma.
- Clear teachings differentiating the destinations reached by the being after death, based on the type of life lived and practices mastered.
- Teachings on the nature of the “self”, and what it is that dies and is reborn.
- Explanation of the daily rituals one practices for their own cultivation of death yoga, and a clear explanation of the ritual, chanting, prayers, mantra and visualization performed for someone who has recently died.
Who is Dharma Bodhi?
Dharma Bodhi has been made a lineage holder (Acarya) of two non-dual meditation and yoga traditions.
In late 1987 after a year of intensive apprenticeship with Mahatma Sarasvati in a lineage of non-dual Śaivite Yoga he took initiation and entered into an 18 month unbroken solo practice retreat in the meditation methods of Tantrik Yoga.
By the end of 1996 Dharma had completed 10 years of practice retreats and studies with his Indian masters. He had been trained in what was ostensibly non- dual Śaivite Tantrik Yoga and meditation, but his first Indian Acarya made it very clear that what he was learning is the “Yoga” tradition. Dharma would later learn that by “Yoga” his teacher meant the Oral-Practice Tradition of the Mahāsiddhas.
His journey into the world of Tibetan Yoga and Meditation began at his Indian teacher’s prompting. He urged Dharma to continue his advanced meditation studies with qualified Tibetan yogis. Shortly thereafter Dharma began to attend Dzogchen meditation retreats held by Ayang Rinpoche in Bodh Gaya, India and also with Penor Rinpoche in Canada. He took many meditation and View Teaching programs with other lamas including Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche whose openness and non-sectarian style of teaching would influence Dharma’s approach. This began a period of intensive personal study of the biographies of the Mahāsiddhas of the traditions of Śaivism, Bön, Vajrayana, and Daoism.
It is common for a traditionally trained Acarya to learn many branches of knowledge that support the central axis of Yoga and Meditation. To this end Dharma has also completed training in Indian astrology (jyotish), palmistry (hasta samudrika), sacred architecture & geometry (vastu) with Hart de Fouw and one of his senior students. He learned Ayurvedic medicine with Dr. Vasant Lad and Dr. Ashwin Shastry, and water offering rituals (puja), and fire ceremonies (yajña & homa) were learnt by apprenticeship with master-priest Śrī Rami Śivan, Head of the Australian Council of Hindu Clergy.
Now settled in Costa Rica, Dharma Bodhi lives with his wife Sukhalaya, where they both are dedicating time to personal practice, and raising two children. Together, Dharma and Sukhlaya are completing a project, creating a written record of everything that Dharma has learnt in on the spiritual path and continue to travel around the world teaching.
