This program has a single focus: sankalpa siddhi, awakening the power of will and determination and manifesting our intention. It centers around an in-depth study of the scriptures Tripura Rahasya and Yoga Vasishtha, as well as select sutras from the Yoga Sutra and Shiva Sutra, and is designed to make the esoteric evident.
Centuries of yogic experiences have conclusively demonstrated that the manipura chakra, the solar plexus, is the center of the body’s most extensive network of energy channels. Our vitality, strength, passion for life, intensity of sense pleasure, self-confidence, and assertiveness are always in direct proportion to the vibrancy of the manipura chakra. Access to and mastery over the manipura chakra fuels both our psycho-physical health and our spiritual growth.
Highlights include:
- Eliminating impurities that disrupt the normal functions of our body, cause diseases, and dull our mind
- Replenishing our internal organs and re-establishing the mutually supportive functions of our bodily systems
- Optimizing the flow of prana shakti, mantra shakti, and the psycho-energetic juices, known as soma rasa, through our energy channels and chakras
- Clearing the path to sankalpa siddhi, the power to materialize our will and determination
- Using asana, pranayama, bandha, mudra, mantra, and herbs to unfold our sankalpa shakti, the indomitable power of will and incorruptible intention
- Applying rasayana, the techniques of tantric alchemy, to accelerate our practice of asana, pranayama, and mantra japa
- Training our limbs, organs, bodily systems, and mental faculties to hear and heed our sankalpa
- Taking our practice to the point where the innate power of our body and mind is awakened—gaining firsthand experience of our own sankalpa shakti as the source of boundless energy, knowledge, and creativity
