Along with the lineages of yogic and contemplative disciplines of its time, classical Asian medicine explored and recorded the subtle energetic systems that lie at the interface of body, mind, and spirit.This course is a complete system of study and practices based on these millennia-old lineages medicine, meditation and mysticism, that offers simple and direct ways to perceive how the body is a matrix of cosmological energies and terrestrial elements animated by nature’s profound evolutionary intelligence. As we move through the various stages of study and contemplation, we will find that these ancient concepts have valuable applications for health and wellbeing, increasing self-knowledge, giving insights into the current conditions of life, and finding inner peace through understanding our true spiritual nature and deeper cosmological identity.In this module, you’ll discover:Theory:The source lineages for the courseHow the body is a matrix of universal elements and energiesHow we can learn to perceive the matrix of energies and elementsWhy it is important to develop knowledge and awareness of these subtle yet powerful forcesHow perceiving our cosmological nature can transform consciousness and self-identity, individually and collectivelyThe applications and benefits of energetic and elemental awareness for health and wellbeingThe primary goals and objectives of the coursePracticesOverview of the types of meditation practices in the courseHow we will use herbs and aromatherapy to complement and enhance the contemplative practicesSimple preparations to maximize learning and enjoyment from the courseModule 2: The Intelligence of Creation The Nature of PranaThe concept of prana, life force, is central to all yogic, meditative, and healing lineages. In medicine, prana is the basis of diagnosis and treatment; in yoga and meditation it is the basis of spiritual practices. From classical Asian medicine we learn that there are numerous classifications and types of prana operating at all levels of the body and mind, from physiological functions to states of consciousness to the flow of time and the cycle of birth and death. The knowledge, perception and understanding of the nature of prana is synonymous with spiritual evolution; it is also the basis of making healthy lifestyle choices, managing stress, and myriad other important practical applications.In this module, you’ll discover:Theorys of prana according to the VedasThe value of understanding the nature of pranaHow to have a deep, meaningful, and sustained internal relationship with the intelligence of nature as it operates in the body and mindHow to understand the prana of plants and the environment and their relationship to human health and wellbeingHow we absorb prana from food, breath, and sensesThe five major pranas of the body and their manifestations in the body, mind, and spiritPrana vata: the flow of the mind, heart, breath, senses, and nervous systemPracticesMeditations, herbs and essential oils to deepen awareness of prana and support its functionsThe best herb and essential for deepening awareness of each of the 5 pranasMindfulness methods to enhance perception of prana in plants, foods, and the environmentThe best herb, oil, and meditation for each of the primary levels of prana vataModule 3: Vitality, Ancestors & the Breath of LifeThe Nature of QiJust as prana is central to Vedic, Ayurvedic, and Tantric philosophies and practices, qi is central to Chinese medicine and Taoist philosophies and practices. In many ways the concepts are synonymous, but they are also different; by studying and contemplating both lineages we are able to develop an encompassing view and understanding of the energy and vitality that animates all living things. As prana is in Ayurveda, qi is the basis of diagnosis and treatment in Chinese medicine; as prana is in yoga and Tantra, qi is the basis of qigong and Taoist spiritual practices. As with prana, we learn that there are numerous classifications and types of qi operating at all levels of the body and mind, from physiological functions to states of consciousness to the flow of time and the cycle of birth and death. As with prana, the knowledge, perception and understanding of the nature of qi helps us understand the karmic and ancestral influences in our lives, supports healthy lifestyle choices, and can enhance our spiritual evolution by deepening our perception of unity with the intelligence of nature.In this module, you’ll discover:TheoryThe diverse meanings and concepts of qiThe cosmological qi of time, seasons, biorhythms and stages of lifeThe nine major types of qi in the body and their functionsThe role of ancestral qi in longevity and wisdomThe qi of emotions and their influence on the bodyThe spiritual powers and cognitive functions of the five organ spiritsHow to become aware of the qi of plants, weather and environmental elementsPracticesHow to study different levels and types of qi using meditationCategories of herbs and oils to enhance awareness and functions of qiMeditations to understand ancestral qiIdentifying and treating the most common form of qi stagnationModule 4: The Mind-StreamThe Incarnation of Consciousness According to Tibetan Embryology, the Kalachakra Tantra & Taoist MysticsClassical Asian medicine and its associated yogic influences offer profound insights into fundamental existential questions related to life, death, and rebirth. Tibetan embryology, for example, describes how the patterns of consciousness in the incarnating mind-stream determine the elemental constitution of the body at the time of conception. The Kalachakra Tantra, one of the influences of Tibetan medicine, describes how the external world is created by the incarnating consciousness as a place for fulfilling its karmas. Taoist mystics tell us that spirit transforms into birth and back again in an ongoing cycle. Studying these profound teachings deepens our self-knowledge and spiritual awareness; it could be accurately said that contemplating the mystical dimensions of life, death, and incarnation is one of the most direct paths to spiritual growth and the development of inner wisdom.In this module, you’ll discover:TheoryConcepts of the “mind-stream” from Buddhist, Tantric, and Vedic meditation lineagesHow the subtle energies and elements of consciousness manifest in space and time according to the Kalachakra TantraTaoist teachings on the cycle of transformations from birth, death, and reincarnationRebirth and memory: how the continuity of consciousness is maintained or dissolved depending on the level of spiritual developments of the death and rebirth process according to Tibetan medicine, the Abhidharma Sutras, and other lineagesThe 3 mystic treasure boxes in the heart that contain primordial omniscient consciousnessPracticesMeditations to become aware of the nature of the “mind-stream” and its relation to formation of the selfMeditations to contemplate our full lifespan from conception to deathThe “flowing river samadhi” and contemplations on sound from the Quan Yin Sutra that deepen awareness of the mind stream, its origin, and destinationModule 5: Form & EmptinessThe Conjunction of Mind & Matter According to Ayurveda, Tantra, and Vedic PhilosophyThe inner teachings of classical Asian medicine are rich sources of knowledge and spiritual insights about the relationship of the body and mind, and how formless consciousness inhabits the matrix of elemental form. From Vedanta and Ayurveda we learn that there are five interwoven bodies, from the external elements of food and water to the most subtle consciousness beyond time and space. From Sankkya philosophy and Ayurveda we learn that mahat, universal mind, evolves into individual mind and sense consciousness. From Tantric meditation we learn that for prana to awaken the subtle nervous system of the chakras, we must first create a mental body of emptiness as the container. Knowledge and understanding of these systems can be cultivated through contemplative methods and study, with important applications for health and wellbeing; at a spiritual level, understanding the mysteries of the body/mind relationship is synonymous with spiritual evolution and self-knowledge.In this module, you’ll discover:TheoryThe evolution of the universal mind into individual mindThe 5 interwoven bodies according to VedantaHow the flow of nutrients through the tissue levels creates the sense of self and karmic propensitiesThe flow of universal elements through the matrix of the body’s channelsThe body of emptiness in Tantric meditationsThe 4 levels of conjunction between the senses and sense objects and what it means to individual and collective destinyHow plants form the bridge between mind and matterPracticesFinding the interface between mind and matter in the Mahamudra tradition of meditationMeditations to identify the 5 bodies and their relationshipsThe most important herb and oil for each of the 7 tissue levelsPerceiving unity with nature through awareness of the 5 elementsThe most important herb and essential oil to deepen connection to each of the 5 elementsTantric meditation on the body of emptinessMeditation to master the conjunction of mind and sense objectsThe best herbs and oils for cultivating equanimity to the outer worldModule 6: Secrets of the HeartThe 5 Flowers, the 7 Levels of Heart Prana & the Luminosity of the EyesDerived from their associated yogic lineages and cultural influences, Chinese, and Ayurvedic medicine offer unique teachings and insights concerning the spiritual dimensions of the heart and their relationships to the mind and emotions. These holistic concepts articulate tangible and intangible aspects of our being, such as the luminosity of our presence, the impact of moods on immunity, and our cognitive functions. Knowledge of the spiritual dimensions of the heart informs us that we are immaterial vapor of consciousness infused in the materiality of the body, which helps us understand our true nature and the challenges of maintaining balance in the earthly elements. Cultivating this awareness has important applications for healing mental and emotional disturbances, especially stress, insomnia, anxiety and depression, as the luminosity of the heart is directly related to how we process stimuli from the world and our emotional reactions to it. At a spiritual level, purification of consciousness so we can return to our true luminous nature is the primary goal of many yogic and meditative traditions.In this module, you’ll discover:TheoryThe link between the 5 flowers of the sense organs, the outer world, the heart, and the mindHow the prana of the heart is the link between spirit and matterThe relationship between luminosity of spirit and mental, emotional, and physical immunityThe relationship between the spirit of the heart and biorhythms of the bodyPracticesObserving how the world arises from the heartbeat: meditations to become aware of the link between the heart, the sense organs, and the arising of the world in consciousnessMeditations to study the 7 levels of heart pranaThe best herbs and oils to enhance heart centered meditations and supporting the brightness of the spiritModule 7: Children of SunlightThe 5 Digestive Fires, 13 Fires of Transformation & the Evolution of Light Into ConsciousnessThe inner spiritual traditions of classical Asian medicine are rich sources of teachings about the influences of solar energy, its relationship to plants, and the fire of metabolism in the human body. These teachings have applications for diagnosis and treatment as well as meditation; they are fundamental to Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, as well as Tantric ritual and meditations in the inner landscape of the energy body. At a practical level these teachings can be applied to understanding our body type, to understanding proper diets and lifestyle, and to know which herbs are best for our needs. At a spiritual level these teachings offer us a way to discover how the celestial influences of sunlight and the terrestrial influences of fire are continually active in our physiology and mental and emotional states, which leads to heightened awareness of our cosmological identity and perception of biological unity with nature. Through meditation and contemplative practices, we can become aware of how the warmth of the body and the light of consciousness are the manifestations and expressions of sunlight distilled by the alchemy of metabolism.In this module, you’ll discover:TheoryThe concepts of digestive fire in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicineThe 5 primary digestive fires and their physical, mental, emotional, sensory, and spiritual functionsThe flow of solar energy through the 13 fires of metabolic transformation into the light of conscious awareness and perceptionPatterns of biological unity with nature found in the human bodyUnderstanding the fire element in plants, and how it relates to human health and healingPrimary herbs and essential oils for supporting the solar energies and fire element of the bodyThe link between digestive fire and mental and emotional digestion, assimilation and clarityPracticesThe most important herb and essential oil for each of the 5 digestive firesMeditation methods for perceiving the flow of solar energy in the body and our biological unity with the sunModule 8: Mysteries of MoonlightThe Essence of Flowers, 8 Drops of Nutritional Essence & the Nectar of ContentmentThe inner spiritual traditions of classical Asian medicine are rich sources of teachings about the subtle influences of lunar energies, their relationship with plants, the water element and the human body.
