Left-Hand Path Tantra - Class

In this online class, Julian Vayne uses meditative practices, energy yoga and mantra to explore contemporary Vama Marga (left-hand) tantra  – focusing on pleasure, freedom and power. A short presentation and discussion provides an orientation. This is followed by an introduction to ritual practices, restriction-breaking techniques, and methods to induce ecstatic illumination. Previous experience of meditation is helpful, and preparatory instructions will be sent in advance of the session. Expect clear techniques presented in modern language but rooted in the lineage of the Uttarakaula and Adinath Sampradaya.
