The state of your mind is the state of your life. You as an individual are your mind. When the mind clarifies itself, when it frees itself from being held hostage by emotions and limiting ideas, we call it an enlightened mind.

So, isn’t it time to truly free up your own mind, so that its profound creative energy can expand and reveal your highest possibilities?

All spiritual and yogic paths offer strategies for working with the mind. Yet these tactics only work when you understand certain principles about your own consciousness, and know what strategies are appropriate in different states of mind. In this series of teleclasses, we’ll combine wisdom from the tantric masters of Kashmir Shaivism, with insights from the latest brain research, with a wide range of best practices for recognizing and transforming our painful, limiting, and difficult mind states.

In this class, we’ll work with the mind on three levels. We’ll look at the suffering mind and what we can do about it! We’ll explore what a balanced, ‘yogic’ mind looks like, and how we get there. We’ll access the expanded state of the Great Mind, and discover how to bring ourselves into the expanded mind over and over during even the most stressful day.) We’ll see why compassion and unconditional love are only real for us in certain mind states, and examine a step-by-step method for moving from negative states to states where we can live at peak aliveness. We’ll unfold powerful techniques for letting go of our deepest limiting beliefs. As we move through the levels of mind, you’ll discover your own best strategies

You know that meditation is good for your health, that it creates balance, enhances creativity, and undoes stored stress. But did you know that meditation is potentially one of the greatest pleasures available to a human being?

When you know how to anchor your attention into the inner body, how to invoke love for yourself in your practice, how to playfully unlock the gateways that block your energy, your meditation practice becomes a life-changing doorway into states of delight, compassion, and spacious wisdom.

This series, open to beginning and advanced meditators, is designed to help you deepen your practice, by making meditation something you look forward to every day.

We are living in a time of such radical transformation, that it is imperative that we discover how to make the most of the energies that are moving within us and within the world at this time. The tantric tradition can help. It offers an esoteric technology designed to take us from limitation to freedom by tuning into the cosmic evolutionary energies of transformation. When we can do that, we can use any circumstance as a doorway into awakening. Upheaval can then become a path, and peace can be discovered in the midst of confusion.

But to do this takes grace. In this class, we'll explore the forms grace takes in its process of uplifting our awareness and shifting our center of consciousness. We'll focus on the Wisdom Goddesses, ten powerful cosmic energies who represent the stages of transformation in consciousness. These energies exist within all of us. Some of them are forceful, pushing us beyond limitation. Others create powerful holding environments within which deep growth can occur naturally. All of them are imbued with the energy of cosmic love.

The Wisdom Goddesses live within your mind, and also play as energies that transform the world. The more you can recognize and attune to them, the more gracefully your consciousness can evolve, and the more your life will be of benefit to the life around you.

In this course, we will discover how these energies play in the specific situations in our lives, and how they can help you transmute suffering and confusion into clarity and joy. It is an active principle of life that as we heal our own wounds and open to the possible, our inner work affects the consciousness of the whole. Our exploration of these energies will not only make you more awake, it will profoundly benefit the life around you.
