Module 2: The Intelligence of Creation 

The Nature of Prana

The concept of prana, life force, is central to all yogic, meditative, and healing lineages. In medicine, prana is the basis of diagnosis and treatment; in yoga and meditation it is the basis of spiritual practices. From classical Asian medicine we learn that there are numerous classifications and types of prana operating at all levels of the body and mind, from physiological functions to states of consciousness to the flow of time and the cycle of birth and death. The knowledge, perception and understanding of the nature of prana is synonymous with spiritual evolution; it is also the basis of making healthy lifestyle choices, managing stress, and myriad other important practical applications.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Theory

Module 3: Vitality, Ancestors & the Breath of Life

The Nature of Qi

Just as prana is central to Vedic, Ayurvedic, and Tantric philosophies and practices, qi is central to Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophies and practices. In many ways the concepts are synonymous, but they are also different; by studying and contemplating both lineages we are able to develop an encompassing view and understanding of the energy and vitality that animates all living things. As prana is in Ayurveda, qi is the basis of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine; as prana is in yoga and Tantra, qi is the basis of qigong and Taoist spiritual practices. As with prana, we learn that there are numerous classifications and types of qi operating at all levels of the body and mind, from physiological functions to states of consciousness to the flow of time and the cycle of birth and death. As with prana, the knowledge, perception and understanding of the nature of qi helps us understand the karmic and ancestral influences in our lives, supports healthy lifestyle choices, and can enhance our spiritual evolution by deepening our perception of unity with the intelligence of nature.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Theory

Module 4: The Mind-Stream

The Incarnation of Consciousness According to Tibetan Embryology, the Kalachakra Tantra & Taoist Mystics

Classical Asian medicine and its associated yogic influences offer profound insights into fundamental existential questions related to life, death, and rebirth. Tibetan embryology, for example, describes how the patterns of consciousness in the incarnating mind-stream determine the elemental constitution of the body at the time of conception. The Kalachakra Tantra, one of the influences of Tibetan medicine, describes how the external world is created by the incarnating consciousness as a place for fulfilling its karmas. Taoist mystics tell us that spirit transforms into birth and back again in an ongoing cycle. Studying these profound teachings deepens our self-knowledge and spiritual awareness; it could be accurately said that contemplating the mystical dimensions of life, death, and incarnation is one of the most direct paths to spiritual growth and the development of inner wisdom.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Theory

• Concepts of the “mind-stream” from Buddhist, Tantric, and Vedic meditation lineages
• How the subtle energies and elements of consciousness manifest in space and time according to the Kalachakra Tantra

• Descriptions of the death and rebirth process according to Tibetan medicine, the Abhidharma Sutras, and other lineages

Practices

• Meditations to contemplate our full lifespan from conception to death

Module 5: Form & Emptiness

The Conjunction of Mind & Matter According to Ayurveda, Tantra, and Vedic Philosophy

The inner teachings of classical Asian medicine are rich sources of knowledge and spiritual insights about the relationship of the body and mind, and how formless consciousness inhabits the matrix of elemental form. From Vedanta and Ayurveda we learn that there are five interwoven bodies, from the external elements of food and water to the most subtle consciousness beyond time and space. From Sankkya philosophy and Ayurveda we learn that mahat, universal mind, evolves into individual mind and sense consciousness. From Tantric meditation we learn that for prana to awaken the subtle nervous system of the chakras, we must first create a mental body of emptiness as the container. Knowledge and understanding of these systems can be cultivated through contemplative methods and study, with important applications for health and wellbeing; at a spiritual level, understanding the mysteries of the body/mind relationship is synonymous with spiritual evolution and self-knowledge.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Theory

• The evolution of the universal mind into individual mind
• The 5 interwoven bodies according to Vedanta
• How the flow of nutrients through the tissue levels creates the sense of self and karmic propensities

Module 6: Secrets of the Heart

The 5 Flowers, the 7 Levels of Heart Prana & the Luminosity of the Eyes

Derived from their associated yogic lineages and cultural influences, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine offer unique teachings and insights concerning the spiritual dimensions of the heart and their relationships to the mind and emotions. These holistic concepts articulate tangible and intangible aspects of our being, such as the luminosity of our presence, the impact of moods on immunity, and our cognitive functions. Knowledge of the spiritual dimensions of the heart informs us that we are immaterial vapor of consciousness infused in the materiality of the body, which helps us understand our true nature and the challenges of maintaining balance in the earthly elements. Cultivating this awareness has important applications for healing mental and emotional disturbances, especially stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression, as the luminosity of the heart is directly related to how we process stimuli from the world and our emotional reactions to it. At a spiritual level, purification of consciousness so we can return to our true luminous nature is the primary goal of many yogic and meditative traditions.

In this module, you’ll discover:

Theory

• The link between the 5 flowers of the sense organs, the outer world, the heart, and the mind
• How the prana of the heart is the link between spirit and matter
• The relationship between luminosity of spirit and mental, emotional, and physical immunity
• The relationship between the spirit of the heart and biorhythms of the body

Module 7: Children of Sunlight

The 5 Digestive Fires, 13 Fires of Transformation & the Evolution of Light Into Consciousness

These teachings have applications for diagnosis and treatment as well as meditation; they are fundamental to Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, as well as Tantric ritual and meditations in the inner landscape of the energy body. At a practical level these teachings can be applied to understanding our body type, to understanding proper diets and lifestyle, and to know which herbs are best for our needs. At a spiritual level these teachings offer us a way to discover how the celestial influences of sunlight and the terrestrial influences of fire are continually active in our physiology and mental and emotional states, which leads to heightened awareness of our cosmological identity and perception of biological unity with nature. Through meditation and contemplative practices, we can become aware of how the warmth of the body and the light of consciousness are the manifestations and expressions of sunlight distilled by the alchemy of metabolism.

In this module, you’ll discover:

These teachings have applications for diagnosis and treatment as well as meditation; they are fundamental to Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, as well as Tantric ritual and meditations in the inner landscape of the energy body. At a practical level these teachings can be applied to understanding our body type, to understanding proper diets and lifestyle, and to know which herbs are best for our specific condition. At a spiritual level, these teachings offer us a way to discover how the celestial influences of the moon and the terrestrial influences of water are continually active in our physiology and mental and emotional states, which leads to heightened awareness of our biological unity with nature. With sustained meditation practice and mindful use of foods and herbs, we can become aware of how the nutritional nectar alchemically distilled in the body from the essences of the plant realm is the basis of consciousness and the source of inner peace and contentment.

In this module, you’ll discover:
