6/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Time (Prana)
Listen now
Description
The power of Time is the power of change, which is the power of the life force (Prana). It emerges from the bliss (Ananda) of the Self. It manifests in so many forms which to some degree we can either stop from changing or balance to reach a more neutral form. Breath retention (Kumbhaka) is a major practice used to slow down or stop mind and calm down our entire system. It is in the Prana that we feel our emotions, which are present as 9 different emotional essences (Rasas). There is a need to balance the movement of Prana within the body, which can produce blockages and the  pollution of the life force. We need to be aware of how our body stores Prana as Ojas and then liberates it through the intermediate of Tejas. To understand how Prana vibrates in 3 different ways (Gunas) is essential to properly manage our energy and do not let it come to an often disagreeable state (Tamas). To understand the primary polarity of Solar and Lunar Prana leads to another major yogic practice of alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodana). This finally leads to the working with the famous Kundalini energy, making it rise through the Chakras as our spiritual growth evolves.   This is Part 6 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.

Kundalini & Spiritual Growth Having discovered the beauty of Self-awareness, nonduality or Advaita becomes a way of pure being. Yet, life tends to produce its various emotions, which easily remove that blissful feeling of the Self. We can actually never lose the Self, as it is ever in our presence. However, when that particular feeling or energy of the Self is lost, pure beingness itself is perceived to be lost.   Tantric Advaita is the ancient knowledge on the nondual energy of the Self. It teaches us how to maintain full awareness of the Self, while simultaneously bringing our feeling closer to the bliss of the Self, energizing our nonduality practice. As we focus our awareness on itself, we harmonize our energy. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/peter-marchand0/message
