Ep26: Illusory Body Yogas of Waking, Sleep, & Death - Glenn Mullin
Glenn is a Tibetologist, translator, and Tantric Buddhist meditation teacher, who studied for many years in Dharmsala with the Dalai Lama’s own gurus.
Continuing on from our previous discussions on the 6 Yogas of Naropa, we move beyond tummo into the illusory body yogas – including the illusory nature of appearances, the yogas of dream and sleep sleep, and bardo yoga.
Glenn lays out how to practice tantra in all aspects of life, explores the differences between the tantra and sutra application of emptiness, addressees imbalances between the male and female energies and how to remedy them, and reveals the difference between tantric dream yoga vs modern lucid dreaming techniques.
