Introduction: Becoming the Sacred Fire - by staying longer and longer in the meditation fire, the identity loses identification with the character and increases identification with the meditation fire. This retreat serves to achieve and maintain constant communion.
Technique: The technique used will be a very effective Kriya Pranayama from the Kriya Yoga tradition. This is the complete Kriya that was already learned in the “Embracing the Sacred Fire” retreat. Here the proposal is to deepen the work of meditation to dissolve the remaining structures.
Teachings: “Ashtavakra Samhita – The Divine Dialogue” is a series of videos where Narayana comments on a famous work in the form of a dialogue between Ashtavakra and his disciple King Janaka. These exalted teachings are very sacred and advanced. At the end of each day you will watch the videos, which will bring you an understanding of your meditation and spiritual process as a whole.
