 White Tantric Yoga
All our experiences feed through the hypothalamus' body mind axis..
We know something to be as it is by how it feels in our body and the senses.
Helena reminded me that life coach Martha Beck asks us to anchor this through the 'body compass' – rate your most awesome memory right up there and give it a name!
(When our son was small, his gran gave him a tiny lego for his 3rd birthday, a plane set. He made around twenty variations and gave each a name, like Monk's Moon and Klong Stark..Naming clearly anchors something good!) So you can be poetic with the name you give to a peak experience, all the better to memorize it!
My deepest experiences take me to when I feel devotion towards the collective consciousness and when I feel one with all concerns as mine and hold them awash and alight in meditative awareness and prayer.
I remember the White Tantric Days as some of the most beautiful meditations.
Originally presided over by the master, Yogi Bhajan, in person and later through his subtle body radiance.
I am awed by processes that are not linear. I have learned that – learning may not come when I stand in front of the door, stomping my foot, demanding entrance.
Learning comes from a task unwillingly done, but done nevertheless.
Humility and service, in fact, give natural rewards.
During the White Tantric Yoga, I have a memory of being in a highly uncomfortable posture for an hour whilst having a frame-by-frame memory of a past lifetime. A trickle of pain and a slow feeling of ecstasy. I love how Tantric presses my re-set button and freshens and fluffs up my subconscious.. Less clutter, more newness.. Yogi Bhajan talks of the z-energy..Imagine Zorro, whipping the sword, collapsing the incongruous. In a WhiteTantric day, many miracles happen.They are as individual as we are. But the group meridian is part of each and everyone's healing. It is not surprising that the kriya you liked best your neighbour hated – and visa versa! It is so individual. Attend with a friend or your partner if s/he is willing but note that you can just as readily go by yourself. After all, it is just a day of deep meditation sitting facing a partner. Sometimes your eyes are open, sometimes closed, sometimes you hold hands and sometimes not – and that's as up, close and personal as it gets.
