#SeedRetention

[literaryhaven]

I practice work with seed retention & mantras. I used to live in the temple of tantric #alchemy & #shamanism in south Florida. The #mantras power comes from awakening #kundalini #seedretention, yabyum. #Tantric #mantras use #bija (seed) sounds, which have no specific meaning, but represent a particular deity or divine energy. “In Tantric puja, mantras are thought to have four layers, or koshas, each more subtle than its predecessor: -The word and its meaning -The feeling of the #mantra -An intense, deep awareness -A state of ajapa-japa, or soundless sound, when the mantra is no longer repeated, but is fully understood” Im a huge study of emotional alchemy. It's all about self love. Once you master that you have so much love for yourself that you want to share it with others. Start with #YabYum is the symbol of divine union. It is the posture in which man and women are united between Heaven and Earth: a classic meditation posture. In #TibetanTantra it is about the union of Compassion and Truth/ Wisdom. In Indian #Tantra it is about the #masculine as a passive meditator with the #feminine as a dancing #shakti in his lap… pure awareness meeting pure energy. On a #metaphysical level, Yab-Yum represents the union of dualistic forms in order to attain transcendence. In other words, when we bring apparent opposites together in love we can enter a state beyond normal consciousness: a state of oneness or unity #consciousness A remembrance of who we are beyond name and form https://www.instagram.com/p/CXnrKr8rScY/?utm_medium=tumblr
