Attaining Buddha-Mind

Essential Tantrik Meditations

In this course you’ll take a deep dive into various meditation practices from classical Śakta-Śaiva Tantra and the Oral-Practice Tradition of the Mahāsiddhas. This course draws its content from the Progressive Meditation track of The Way of Meditation.

Although practitioners train the body, speech and mind to express Enlightened Presence, if the mind is mastered, the enlightened capacity of the other two can quickly be realized. For this reason meditation is often emphasized as more essential over purely body and energy points of entry into Nondual Presence. Meditation is also emphasized because unless one is a lifelong hatha yoga practitioner, as one ages it becomes increasingly more difficult to perform vigorous physical and energetic practices.

 

Meditation practices will include:

  • Paśu, Vira & Divya Tattva Śuddhi (3 types of 5-Element Alchemy practice)
  • Uccārra of seed power-mantras (raising vibrational sound-power through the central channel)
  • Muñcara Meditation (transferring your consciousness into the beyond)
  • Bhavanā meditation (invoking samāveśa [mutual-interpenetration] of an enlightened deity through light trance)
  • Meditation on Hung mantra
  • Opening the Devaki nadi (third eye to crown point) through kriyā yoga breath
  • Basic ajapa-japa meditation
  • Inner & Secret levels of the practice of guru-yoga
  • And more!

About the Teacher

Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens)

Dharma Bodhi began practicing yoga at seven years of age. In his teens he moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism received through his Chinese martial arts teachers in New York. After completing his chiropractic degree he studied in an Oral-Practice Tradition of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra, taking initiation into one of the Daśnami Orders of practice from India. In 1996 he complete ācārya training under his Śaiva gurus. This training emphasized traditional Kundalinī Hatha Yoga and a progressive system of Meditation, along supportive studies in ritual/pūjā and yoga texts. Since graduating as a Śaiva ācārya, he took refuge with a great master of Bönpo Dzogchen meditation, and studied with him by taking multiple trips per year to his monastery in India for a period of 8 years.  He studies both Dzogchen meditation & yoga (trul khor), and Dzogchen preliminary and advanced texts. Both his Śaiva and Dzogchen masters gave him the task of teaching these systems stripped of the unnecessary aspects of the cultures and languages they are found in. His Dzogchen master also gave him the task of translating two Tibetan texts. One of which is finished and the other is in process. He now lives with his wife, Sahaja Dakinī, and their two children in rural Maine, USA. He is developing a practice hermitage in the wilderness of Maine and a European teaching center on the border of Italy and Switzerland.
