Part 1: The Energetic Body 

Welcome to the first part of this online course where we'll be focusing om the energetic body and energy channels. 

We often believe that we can’t feel energy. Yet, everything is a matter of energy – the mind is an energy, our emotions are energy in motion, and the breath is purring energy. In Tantra, the whole world is energy vibrating at different rates and manifesting in infinite myriad forms. Energetically our bodies, much like the macrocosmic Earth-body, are permeated by a series of channels and rivers. Via these internal inlets and openings, life is always greeting us. However, whether we can taste life's richness depends on what’s already on our palate.

Part 2: Polarity of Energy 

We now dive deeper into the philosophy of the law of energy.

In this second part, we'll focus and dance between the polar forces, and explore how to balance these symbiotic opposites by using your vision, your internal drishti, and your awareness. The practice in this teaching is an invitation to rinse and release through twists and rotations, for you to come back to your center, and find balance in your life through the act of giving and receiving.

Part 3: Law of Correspondence – Microcosm to Macrocosm

In tantra, it is said, “What is here (inside the human) is everywhere (in the universe), and what is not here, is nowhere”. This philosophical perspective is that the human being is a microcosm, a replica, or a tiny copy of the macrocosmic universe. The same elements that surround us are inside of us, and the same wild and creative pulse that actuates the universe animates the human form.

Part 4: Resonance & Purification

We've now reached the fourth part of this course, where we'll be focusing on the concept of resonance and purification. 

The way that a tuning fork works is that once struck it sends out vibrations. If a second tuning fork is brought into proximity, the second gets inspired and starts vibrating at the same frequency. This vibratory phenomenon is resonance! Resonance is one of the fundamental concepts of tantra.

Part 5: Infinite Metamorphosis

We've now reached the last part of this course. We hope you've gained a lot of learning along the way! In this last teaching, Brooke will take you through the concept of the metamorphosis aspect and inner alchemy.

In tantra, we can activate the internal alchemy by harnessing the areas we are most rigid, contracted, or stuck, and using them as the catalyst that propels the exact degree, dimension and direction of our highest growth. In the practices in this part, we'll be moving into the density, leaning into the places where you'll feel stuck. Surrounding to the un-doing, cultivating inner awareness. 

Bonus
Remember, you'll also find a bonus practice and a bonus meditation below, for you to keep on diving and embody different tantric perspectives.

Bonus: Shakti & Sublimation of Energy

In the bonus meditation, Brooke talks about and guides you through the fundamental idea of life force, an invitation to explore the energetic subcurrant – in tantra called Shakti. 

In the bonus practice, we'll zoom in on what is said to be the strongest bandha, uddiyana bandha – a sweet, short, but powerful tantric practice focusing on the sublimation of energy.

Sammendrag

Introduction to Tantra – online course

Tantra is a practice that focuses on the movement of energy, with a metamorphosing effect. The course is structured into 5 core parts or teachings, with 1 philosophical contemplation and 1 asana practice in each teaching. Also included in the course is a bonus tutorial and bonus tantric meditation practice.

Learn about the fundamental tantric perspective

This course intends to invite you to both understand and embody the fundamental concepts of tantra. During the course, you’ll gain knowledge of tantra by learning to integrate its methods into philosophical contemplation and physical asana practices. Moving with awareness we will purify the energetic flow channels and clear out the organic residue of daily living, remove blockages, and refine our focus to feel the body’s subtle power.

Once the whole body is activated and illuminated with awareness, all systems and layers begin communicating. The flow channels begin to open and energy can travel more freely through the body.

Learn more about the course and its content in the course outline, which is important to take part in before purchasing a course.
