SUMMARY:COURSE—Transforming Emotions Through the Six Lokas
DESCRIPTION:Transforming Our Emotions Through the Six Lokas\nwith Geshe Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThis is a 7 week course \nThis meditation course will give you a thorough introduction to the Six Lokas practices of the Tibetan Bön Buddhist tradition. \nAt one time or another each of us suffer strong emotions that throw us off balance\, cause us to act in ways that we later regret\, and make us lose touch with our true nature. Centuries ago the masters of the Bön lineage developed the meditations of the Six Lokas specifically to remedy this situation\, to help us live our lives in a balanced and relaxed way. \nThe meditations focus on the root causes of our suffering: anger\, desire\, greed\, ignorance\, jealousy\, pride and laziness. Through each meditation we examine our habitual patterns so that we may recognize them\, then invoke the enlightened energy of the Buddhas to purify and transform us so that we and all other beings might not continue to suffer in this way. The practices have a deep healing and transformative power\, and are traditionally practiced at length as a preliminary to dzogchen contemplation.\n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:COURSE—The Three Heart Mantras of Bön
DESCRIPTION:The Three Heart Mantras\n with Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThis is a 5 week course \nThe Three Heart Mantras are used in many different meditations in the Bön tradition and play a major role in the ngöndro practices. They are said to be the essence of enlightenment in sound and energy\, and as we sing or chant the mantras our awareness is transformed to be in union with the Buddhas. They are used for purification\, protection and as primary practices toward self-realization. \nIt is said that creating these mantras in any form brings merit and purification\, so they are commonly found carved into stones\, printed on prayer flags where they spread their benefits through the winds\, and even drawn with gold ink and kept on shrines as an object of reverence and meditation. Their blessings are said to be endless. Also within this course Tenzin Rinpoche explains the essence of the Guru Yoga\, Refuge and Bodhicitta practices\, making this an excellent introduction to the tradition. \n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:COURSE—Sleep Yoga: The Yoga of Clear Light
DESCRIPTION:Sleep Yoga: The Yoga of Clear Light\nwith Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche \nThis is a 4 week course \nWe spend one-third of our life in sleep\, yet for most people sleep is a period of unconsciousness.

But how do we get from our current stress and disrupted sleep patterns to the state of clear light? \nThis course will introduce simple techniques to enter into sleep in a healthy\, balanced way. Even if we do not consistently enter into clear light sleep\, we can benefit from a refreshing\, relaxed sleep that gives us deep renewal. This is supported by breathing techniques\, physical postures and guided visualizations. Tenzin Rinpoche will also provide a meditation to wake up in a beautiful way\, feeling the blessings of sleep and stepping into our day with serenity. Through these simple practices we can transform our sleep to be one of tranquility and awareness.\n			\n				Learn More & Register

SUMMARY:COURSE—Meditation\, Breath and Movement
DESCRIPTION:Meditation\, Breath and Movement\nwith Alejandro Chaoul-Reich \nThis is a 4 week course \nTsa lung is a series of ancient yogic practices that brings balance and harmony to our physical body\, energy and mind. The term tsa lung can be translated as the energy-winds (Tibetan: lung\, Skt. prana\, Chinese\, qi) in the Channels\, for these practices are designed to open the subtle channels\, guiding the healthy flow of the energy-winds so that we can enjoy good health and reconnect with more calmness to a quiet\, peaceful mind. These exercises are easy to perform and are suitable for everyone. \nThere are three levels of tsa lung practice: external\, internal and secret. External tsa lung works primarily on the physical level\, using simple movements and breath exercises to balance the energies within our body. Internal tsa lung works more at the level of breath and subtle energy\, bringing our attention to opening the five chakras and the central channel. Secret tsa lung uses subtle visualizations within the chakras and central channel to bring harmony to the mind\, so that we can rest in our inner refuge\, nature of mind. All of the tsa lung exercises integrate and balance the five elements within: earth\, water\, fire\, wind and space. \nThese practices are drawn from the Bön Mother Tantra (Tibetan: Ma Gyud) the highest tantra in our tradition. They are a beautiful complement to any meditation practice\, and particularly to dzogchen. They are frequently performed at the beginning of a session so that meditation is deeper and more stable. External tsa lung is commonly performed in all Ligmincha centers and groups. \n			\n				Learn More & Register
