Welcome to this channel. I am Peter and I enjoy sharing here what I have learned. I first studied with the famous author Harish Johari and then later I was further inspired by so many others. Basically these teachings belong to Tantric Advaita. That is the non-dual understanding on both consciousness and energy. As in Advaita Vedanta, the nondual Self is always at the center of our practice and understanding. Yet we also learn to harmonize our energy through a variety of Tantric practices. This way we can truly learn to live naturally in pure beingness.

    8/8 Tantric Advaita - How to Live Nonduality

    Aside from the many energetic practices that can be used to bring balance, five yogic paths are there for the Ego. Each has their own typical traps. To keep it simple, we combine these with some good daily habits that prevent imbalance. With our main energetic practice and the seed-based practices we can move forward easily. Daily habits are mostly in tune with the rhythm of day and night and with the moon cycle. Eating, practice and also entertainment must be adapted to each other. Meditation is a main daily practice that brings more peace in our lives and may lead to the desired fundamental transformations needed within the subconscious aspects of our Ego. Last but not least, life should be enjoyed and togetherness brings union within duality in nonduality.  This is Part 8 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita. Supported by numerous backers on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, this video is part of a communication project on Tantric Advaita. It also includes the book 'Tantric Advaita - Energizing Nonduality' - - find all details here : https://www.tantricadvaita.org/book_tantric_advaita.html. 00:00:00   8.1.

Enjoy Life Having discovered the beauty of Self-awareness, nonduality or Advaita becomes a way of pure being. Yet, life tends to produce its various emotions, which easily remove that blissful feeling of the Self. We can actually never lose the Self, as it is ever in our presence. However, when that particular feeling or energy of the Self is lost, pure beingness itself is perceived to be lost.  Tantric Advaita is the ancient knowledge on the nondual energy of the Self. It teaches us how to maintain full awareness of the Self, while simultaneously bringing our feeling closer to the bliss of the Self, energizing our nonduality practice. As we focus our awareness on itself, we harmonize our energy.

    7/8 Tantric Advaita - The Journey of the Soul

    The Ego is the true hero of Yoga and most essentially resides within our soul. The soul is the subtle energy body that moves from one body to the next in the process of reincarnation. Understanding the largely subconscious complexity of our Ego attachments, we may understand the need for many lives to bring about the final goal of enlightenment. The ancient seven steps towards enlightenment teach us how through the effort of practice we can quite rapidly attain the state where we have already fully experienced the Self and easily can tap into its blissful nature. Thus we become masters of our own happiness, able to fulfill our remaining desires without creating disharmony. After also paying off our remaining karmic debts, we can finally merge with cosmic consciousness. We need patience however and must lose our sense of urgency in order to really calm down. There is lot to do for our multidimensional beingness to dissolve.   This is Part 7 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.

    6/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Time (Prana)

    The power of Time is the power of change, which is the power of the life force (Prana). It emerges from the bliss (Ananda) of the Self. It manifests in so many forms which to some degree we can either stop from changing or balance to reach a more neutral form. Breath retention (Kumbhaka) is a major practice used to slow down or stop mind and calm down our entire system. It is in the Prana that we feel our emotions, which are present as 9 different emotional essences (Rasas). There is a need to balance the movement of Prana within the body, which can produce blockages and the  pollution of the life force. We need to be aware of how our body stores Prana as Ojas and then liberates it through the intermediate of Tejas. To understand how Prana vibrates in 3 different ways (Gunas) is essential to properly manage our energy and do not let it come to an often disagreeable state (Tamas). To understand the primary polarity of Solar and Lunar Prana leads to another major yogic practice of alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodana). This finally leads to the working with the famous Kundalini energy, making it rise through the Chakras as our spiritual growth evolves.   This is Part 6 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.

    5/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Space

    The power of ethereal space relates to the five elements of which our body is made. These elements are generating our basic desires for security, pleasure, status, love and understanding. When we take good care for our body as a good mother would, the elements are balanced and our desires become more easy to manage. Likewise our emotions will be more harmonious. This rest upon a variety of practices relates to the Doshas in our food, working with the senses and physical exercises. Sharing becomes a natural attitude when our desires mature.   This is Part 5 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.

    3/8 Tantric Advaita - The Powers of Sound, Space & Time

    The Powers of Sound, Space and Time manifest from the Self to create the Universe, while also offering us so many practices to return to the feeling of the Self. The power of Sound thus manifests as the power of Aum and other seed sounds, the powers of mantra, beat, tone, music, thought and desire. The Power of Space is infused with the care and sharing in motherly love, including also the work of calming and withdrawing the senses, pacifying desires, as well as balancing our bodies through Asana and the understanding of Ayurveda. The power of Time lets us work with the life force or Prana, through breath and also food and exercise, balancing our emotions and raising our Kundalini energy. All these energetic practices of Yoga and Tantra are used within the 5 yogic paths of Bhakti, Jnana, Karma, Ashtanga and Tantra Yoga, which respectively work on how we feel, think, act, do nothing or do everything at once. 00:00:00   3.1.

    4/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Sound

    The Power of Sound may help us to find our inner silence, especially if our emotions are somewhat troubled and making it hard. We are sound frequencies ourselves and by producing sound, we can change our emotional frequency. The science of Sanskrit holds incredible understanding on how sounds affect us. The seed sounds, chakra sounds and mantras brought forward by the yogic tradition offer us many ways to work with our energy and this especially to resolve any subconscious blockages. Sounds also have meaning, so the power of sound also includes the power of thought, where we repeat useful thoughts while subduing less useful thoughts.    This is Part 4 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.

    2/8 Tantric Advaita - The Seeds within the Self

    The most essential understanding in Tantric Advaita concerns the seeds or potentials that are hidden within the Self, from which the entire universe manifests. They are based on the ancient trinity of Sat-Chit-Ananda, from which the powers of Time, Space and Sound emerged. These seeds also offer us the principal energetic methods to regenerate the feeling of nonduality. They provide us with a unique insight into the origin of all Yogic and Tantric practice, at all times allowing us to retrace our way back to the Self.   This is Part 2 of an 8 part series on Tantric Advaita.
