The Art of Tantric Meditation

What is Tantric Meditation?

Unlike classical meditation, which often asks you to detach from the physical world, tantric meditation is a radically inclusive path. It utilizes your physical body, your breath, and even your active mind as vehicles for spiritual awakening. By applying specific tantric meditation techniques drawn from the Kashmiri Shaivite tradition, practitioners learn to embrace all aspects of their human experience, turning ordinary moments and physical sensations into natural doorways to the divine.

About This Audio Course

Our physical and subtle bodies are hard-wired to give us the experience of spiritual awakening. The tantric approach to meditation specializes in brilliant and powerful ways for entering the inner body, working with the mind, and expanding the breath so that the body reveals its natural doorways into the spirit.

This class unfolds practices from the Vijnana Bhairava, the core meditation manual of the Kashmiri Shaivite tradition, along with Sally’s uniquely subtle and practical wisdom about deepening meditation practice. Each class will explore a different way of turning the ordinary into the subtle, and is guaranteed to deepen and enliven your meditation practice.
