Bija Mantra in Tantra: Liberation through Sound

In tantra, mantra is used differently than in many other forms of vedic, jain, or buddhist yoga. The tantric practitioner uses individual seed sounds (bija mantras) in simple but profound ways to manipulate her own physiology and therefore consciousness.

Each bija reveals a particular manifestation of Reality, and leads the practitioner (sadhaka) inexoribly towards that manifestation, and from that manifestation, towards the Absolute...

Mindless pronounciation and repetition of a mantra will only occupy your hours, leaving you with little result...

But this three hour workshop delivers the complete tools for unravelling the true meaning and depth of mantric practice, beginning with an introduction to the 4 levels of speech in tantric practice, from gross to subtle, then revealing the nature of mantra and true mantric practice, and showiing step-by-step how to simultaneously expand and focus consciousness using spatial awareness, emotion, and sound awareness, and the resonances and uses of individual bija mantras..
