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

SUMMARY:RETREAT—A-TRI – Teachings with Intensive Practice and Trul-Khor
DESCRIPTION:(In English & Deutsche) \nUsing the symbolic “ཨ” as a support\, the practice of guiding the mind toward the profound natural state of reality beyond concepts is called A-Khrid. Through the practices of contemplating the mind on a symbol and settling the mind in the natural state beyond concepts\, one gains these benefits: the mind becomes focused\, stable\, non-distracted\, calm and gentle\, confident and capable. When the mind becomes capable one can be free from suffering and achieve ultimate happiness. \nThe main texts for this teaching cycle are: \n\nThe Fifteen yoga movements of the A-Khrid Gagsel Trulkhor — composed by the Bon great master Drugyalwa Yungdrung\, born in the 13th century.\nThe Forty movement of the A-Khrid Bogdon Trulkhor — composed by the great master Shardza Rinpoche\, born in the 19th century.\n\nThese will be taught in combination with practice. \nThese of trulkhor (movement exercises) are highly beneficial both for advancing the mind’s meditation practice\, and for healing physical illness and removing obstacles. \nBy practising with the key points of the movements — such as opening the knots of the channels and purifying the channel pathways — this practice is greatly beneficial for both physical health and mental wellbeing. It has the special purpose of preventing illness in the body and suffering in the mind. \nPlease register at: info@ligmincha.at \nZoom Participation: Please register by July 27\, so we can send you the Zoom link in time! \nPrerequisites: This retreat is suitable for both beginners and long-time practitioners!
