Join
best-selling author and world-renowned Tantra expert Margot Anand
and SkyDancing Tantra® teacher Michael Pooley for this powerful
and practical weeklong intensive. During this amazing 7-day training,
you will explore the art of transforming sexual and orgasmic energy
into a blissful meditation - from which you can open energetic and
spiritual pathways into higher states of consciousness.
Specifically,
you will learn the "crown jewel" of the SkyDancing Tantra
path, called Riding the Wave of Bliss, which is the core
practice in Cycle 3 of Margot Anand's Love and Ecstasy Training
(LET). In addition, this week includes teachings on the chakras (your
body's energy centers); pranayama (breath control); mantras (sacred
words) and sacred sound (chanting, singing, bells, bowls, and more);
yantras and mandalas (sacred symbols and visualizations), mudras (hand
positions for meditation), nine Tantric deities (buddhas, dakinis,
bodhisattvas, and other divine archetypes); yoga asanas (physical
postures)... and more.
About
Cycle 3
In Cycle 1, you purified and healed the body, going deep into peace
and your ecstatic truth. In Cycle 2, you continued opening the energetic
and spiritual pathways into higher states of consciousness and ecstatic
bliss, and practiced the art of orgasm.
In Cycle
3, Margot Anand and Michael Pooley will present advanced practices
from her SkyDancing Tantra method and guide you into an awareness
that is relaxed and energetic, still and alive, focused and omnipresent
- melting with the consciousness of the divine.
Listening
to your inner self allows you to see, feel, experience and "be
truth" and recognize the essence in everything around you. This
is the realm of light and the depth of SkyDancing Tantra!
We connect
deeply with our essence -spaciousness - while with a partner, and
then we begin to master what Margot Anand calls "the art of disappearing
into each other" - into the emptiness of pure consciousness,
riding on the waves of energy as you and your partner move beyond
time and space.
This is
the sacred work that the Tibetans used to practice after years of
meditation and purification. We must approach this work with deep
reverence, for it is truly a mysterious and wondrous gate to awakening.
Some of
the practices we will explore during this week:
•
A
new form of Yoga to open our inner channels and feel vital and powerful.
•
The
love positions as a form of yoga, understanding the specific power
and qualities of each of them.
•
Riding
the Tiger: spinning energy in our chakras to open the inner flute,
alone and together.
•
The
7 Steps of the Wave of Bliss, which
teaches you to harmonize breath, movement, sound, and heart within
yourself and with your partner
•
Powerful
healing mantras
to purify your spirit
•
The
Hindu tantric approach of the Bija mantras, the magic sounds that
awaken the radiance of our chakras.
•
Sacred
visualizations of the divine archetypes during tantric practice.
