Hello everyone, Rinpoche ji has agreed to meet us all at 11am UK time this SUNDAY 28th September 🔥 This is a rare opportunity to meet such a being and ask the life questions that are on your heart. I will organise a zoom link and post it here. If you have friends that you feel would benefit, feel free to invite them. ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ

Hi everyone, just wanted to say I had my first one to one with Shiv yesterday and it was so great. A lot better than I expected tbh, going through the asanas and getting an invitation to their deeper meaning has really motivated me to start my journey today and incorporate these teachings into my daily life. We agreed on three Asanas for myself and we agreed that a maximum of a minute on each should be enough. Shiv, I've changed my mind about the asanas I want to practice, any chance I can change them and maybe talk through it with you? 🙌🏾🙏🏾 Wanted to share my progress sheet for anyone who is interested in tracking our progress together !

What is Prana? What makes any motion possible: the blink of an eye, the budding of a flower, the splitting of atoms or the fall of a meteor? Thousands of years ago, the yogis living in the shadow of the Himalayas fathomed the inherent quality of motion in creation and they called it prana. One may roughly translate the word prana as ‘energy’ or ‘vital force’, but neither definition offers a precise equivalent of the Sanskrit term that emerged from higher states of contemplation. The word prana assumes the quality of ‘livingness’. From the yogic point of view, the entire cosmos is alive, throbbing with prana. Prana is ever present in every aspect of creation. The prana within every created object gives existence and material form, whether it is a planet, an asteroid, a blade of grass or a tree. If there were no prana, there would be no existence. If prana were withdrawn from the universe, there would be total disintegration. All beings, whether living or non-living, exist due to prana. Every manifestation in creation forms part of a never-ending matrix of energy particles, arranged in different densities, combinations and variations. The universal principle of prana may be in a static or dynamic state, but it is behind all existence on every plane of being from the highest to the lowest. Prana is the simplest as well as the most profound concept propounded by the seers. A stone worshipped sincerely may have a finer quality of prana than the force of a leopard in full flight. The tangible strength that enables the movement of one’s hand is prana and the intangible force invoked through a complex fire ritual is also prana. The wind blows and rivers flow because of prana. Aircrafts, trains and cars move because of prana; laser beams and radio waves travel because of prana. Every object in creation is floating in the vast, all-encompassing sea of prana, and receiving everything they need to exist from it. It is said in the Kathopanishad (2:3:2): यदिेदं किं च जगत्सर्वं प्राण एजति निःसृतम्।

Hi everyone, my name is Gurudas. I'm from America, and got my start in New York City, running a tech startup called CourseHorse for many years. Then in search for deeper fulfilment, I became a student of Moojibaba on the non-dual path towards self realization, and I now live in his community in Portugal. Recently, I felt the call to explore Pranayama and Shiv gave me a powerful introduction. I've been in a daily practice with it for the last several months which has been serving me in a deep way. Nice to meet you all and glad to be a part of this community 🤗✨

Namaste everyone! Let's choose 1 Asana every week to practice throughout that week. This week, we're going to do Vajrasana! 🌩️ In English, you can call this Thunderbolt pose. Practice it and try and find out why... Practice this position everyday for a couple of minutes after eating. Sit in the position, close your eyes and still your mind. It will aid in digestion, relieve back pain and over time improve joint mobility in the knees and ankles. Let us know in the comments how it's going or if you need help and we can all help each other. Extra points for photos!
