“We (Westerners in the twenty-first century) need 

the atomic energy of inner fire 

to blast us out of our delusion.”

- Lama Yeshe (1935–1984)

​

INVITATION

JOIN Khandro-la and fellow yogis and yoginis for this special Subtle Body Training - DAKINI SERIES XII, TUMMO - "FIERCE LADY" (English translation of Tummo) With Dakini Magic Wheel. Discover the Fierce Lady, Inner Fire (tummo in Tib.), who is the source of transformation of ordinary desire and delusions into great bliss, and the basis of all the advanced tantric practices. This TUMMO practice will be conjoined with the Dakini Magic Wheel exercises to prepare our subtle body for Inner Fire. As a continued exploration of Tummo "Fierce Lady" within our subtle bodies, this series will also explore the four blisses or joys that arise from untying the knots around the central channel, igniting, blazing and melting.

 

While dancing or doing movements to untie the knots,

we are also untying this self-grasping,

solidification of self-existence and phenomena,

this innately stubborn misperception.

- DAKINI JOURNEY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD by Choying Khandro

 

Each week, experiential learning of Inner Fire will be supplemented by certain Dakini exercises and movements to assist in loosening the subtle body, which is necessary for this practice to be effective. The traditional six Magic Wheel (trulkor in Tib.) exercises based on the Ear-Whispered Lineage will also be incorporated to aid transformation. In this series, Khandro-la will incorporate materials from her newly published book, DAKINI JOURNEY IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD.

​

Whether you are just embarking on the path of Buddhist tantric practice and yoga or have been studying and teaching for years, we invite you to join us for this unique and potent exploration of our body as Dakinis. Come and join us to see how this magic will unfold in you! This series could lead you to a unique and evolutionary home practice experience resulting in genuine transformation.​ You will also have access to TUMMO eLearning materials.

​

WHAT IS SUBTLE BODY TRAINING?

Subtle Body Training is an integrated, transformative spiritual journey based on the advanced tantric theory that weaves together tantric techniques of subtle body-oriented practices, chanting, meditation, and breathing practices as well as the contemporary discipline of the biomechanics of yoga.
