Sat Sangat Yoga Development Training - Level 2

NEXT LEVEL TWO MODULE:

To Worship the Divine We Must Become the Divine: Transforming the Mind into an Instrument for Divine Intelligence.

Tantra Shastra is the ancient science of using mantra, mudra, mind focus, intention, and attitude in a highly structured and disciplined way to achieve the goal of Yoga, which is Self-Realisation. This means to merge into the Divine Intelligence that resides within everything in the known and unknown Universe. To do this, we must harness elemental and cosmic powers in Nature.

This Level 2 training expands the yoga teacher, or practitioner, by introducing the tools of Antar Yoga, or Inner Yoga, and examining how these impact on the brain, and on the mind. We examine how the components that make up Tantra Shastra shift and change the mind, and the physical structures of the brain, continually bringing us closer to becoming Divine. To achieve the yogic goal of Self-Realisation, we must transform the mind into a highly refined instrument that can harness the power of Nature. This allows us to go beyond the physical self, and to merge into the Divine Self. We look at Westernised teachings and how they add to our understanding of the esoteric practices that we use in Tantra Shastra, in a deep appreciation of how everything we know in our human body of knowledge is beginning to converge. 

This training not only gives advanced tools but also ensures a deeper understanding of how to correctly use them. We study underlying philosophies and inculcate the correct respect for the tradition out of which these teachings arise. 

Many study groups carry on meeting long after the three months have passed, having created a supportive and nurturing group environment in which spiritual development is held.

Each module works with the five basic questions of the study of yoga:

1. What is the physical composition of the body and how does it function?
2. What is prana, what is its relationship with the physical body, and how does it interact with the body?
3. Why does prana exist in different forms and what is the reason behind the creation of matter and the other elements?
4. What is the soul and how can we experience it?
5. How do we attain transcendence and what is it that we need to transcend?

Each Level 2 module considers these questions through a different lens. The seven modules of Level 2 are as follows:

• Communication: Shabd and Nada
• Tantric Goddess Darshan: The Rise of the Sacred Feminine
• Advanced Pranayama and Prana Vidya: Raising Your Prana
• Transforming the Mind Into an Instrument for Divine Intelligence
• Yoga Nidra and Brain Chemistry: Harnessing Unlimited Potential
• Hatha Pradipika: Advanced Asana, Mudra, Bandha
• Understanding the Vedas: Healing Consciousness
