Wisdom Energy – co-leading with Padmadrishti – Vajraloka
June 20 @ 16:30 - June 29 @ 09:30
Our ‘precious human body’ is the first and most important foundation not just of mindfulness, but of meditation and Dharma practice as a whole. The teaching of the Buddha’s ‘Three Bodies’ (trikaya) suggests that there is far, far more to the body than meets the eye. These could be summarised as the bodies of truth (dharmakaya), of living energy (sambhogakaya) and of manifestation (nirmanakaya). While they are fully realised with awakening, we can attune and open to them right now through meditation and Dharma practice, especially body and heart-based practice.
Tejananda and Padmadrishti will guide explorations into the extraordinary nature of our ‘ordinary’ body experience, including the energy aspect and the value of bringing awareness into the ‘core’ or central channel, and the three centres of hara (lower abdomen), heart and head. They will offer a mix of complementary approaches including meditative explorations, Qigong practice and somatic practices, to the same embodied insight
This retreat will be an opening to the possibility that the wisdom energy of our true nature is here to be discovered.
