Tibetan Yoga

It is said that the practice of dream yoga deepens our awareness during all our experience: the dreams of the night; the dream-like experience of the day; and the bardo experiences after death. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Yoga nidra is the master key to initiating shifts in conscious sleep states where change happens outside of doing. In yoga nidra, you enter a state of non-doing in which transformation happens from beyond the mind rather than through the mind. This comprehensive guidebook explores the core of Yogic philosophy and modern applications of yoga nidra backed by scientific research - affirming what Yogis have known for thousands of years.

The Intermediate State is Volume 5 of Naropa’s Six Yogas: The Complete Training System. It addresses the place where modern readers are most vulnerable to fantasy and fear: the bardo. People either romanticize it into an astral adventure or flatten it into nothing but metaphor. This volume takes a more traditional and more useful approach. It treats the intermediate state as a functional name for what happens when supports thin, when the familiar body-based anchors fail, when fear and fascination intensify, and when the mind’s habits become the steering mechanism. You do not need to ...

Empty, yet vividly knowing. Knowing, yet nothing to grasp. This, just as it is, is your own primordial awareness. The Ocean of Definitive Meaning is one of the clearest maps of the contemplative path ever set down. The Ninth Karmapa, Wangchug Dorje, wrote it in the sixteenth century to carry a practitioner from the very first turning of the mind all the way to nonmeditation. Maps like it are easy to admire and hard to actually walk. This book walks it, lesson by lesson, in language a modern reader can hear. What You Will Practice The four thoughts that turn the mind, and the four special ...

Pure from the very beginning, not made pure by anything. Spontaneously present, not manufactured by anyone. This, just as it is, is your own awareness. Dzogchen, the great completeness, is the summit of the Nyingma tradition and the plainest teaching it has. Its root instruction is three sentences long. Garab Dorje left them as his final testament, and Patrul Rinpoche's commentary on them is the tradition's best loved short text. The literature that surrounds those three sentences is vast, technical, and written for people who already have a teacher standing beside them. This book walks the...

Esoteric Traditions of the World — Volume IV: Future Seeds of Sealed Wisdom The sacred is not dying. It is mutating. For centuries, the world’s esoteric traditions have survived exile, suppression, and obscurity. From the temples of Egypt to the mountain hermitages of Tibet, from the vine medicine songs of the Amazon to the internal alchemy of China, these living currents have persisted—guarded by small circles of initiates, passed in whispers, kept alive through disciplined practice. In the first three volumes of Esoteric Traditions of the World, Laing Z. Matthews charted 105 sacred ...

The body is not a temple. It is a furnace. The proposition is simple: you can learn to control the flame. This is a guide to that audacious, ancient, and transformative art. Herein lies the blueprint. We trace the fire’s lineage from the ice-bound saints of Tibet. We dissect its modern, often punishing, techniques. We pit this wild practice against the quiet meditations of the age to reveal its true nature. We map its electrical ghost in the brain, and we weigh the sublime rewards against the stark, undeniable risks. This is not a path to mere tranquility. It is a dissertation on power—...

The Illusory Body is Volume 2 of Naropa’s Six Yogas: The Complete Training System. It addresses the most common modern failure in Tibetan yogic practice: confusing experiences with realization, and confusing “emptiness talk” with the actual capacity to release grasping when life gets sharp. Illusory body is not dissociation. It is not derealization. It is not a mood, an aesthetic, or a clever philosophy. It is daytime yoga—trained in the middle of ordinary life—so that when conditions intensify in dream, sleep, death, and bardo, the mind does not collapse into literal fear. The ...
