Your purchase of this course supports my Kuṇḍalinī-based writing projects at the heart of my Patreon community. Discover my revelations re: how the evolutionary ‘thread’ (sūtra) of Patanjali’s formative work evolved into a time-tested daily householder practice at the heart of the Tantrik tradition (5th -19th centuries, A.D.)
This powerful practice, known by the Tantriks as the daily ‘Yoga Ritual’ (yogavidhi), masterfully threads together the ‘Eight Limbs’ of the Yogasūtra into a sequence of breath techniques choreographed with meditations on specialized sound vibrations. The Yogavidhi, when practiced regularly and correctly, was guaranteed to result in the state of living liberation.. To find out more about this work, please visit my Patreon site.
