Raja Choudhury – The Dance of Shiva & Shakti

The Importance of an Experienced Guide

In The Dance of Shiva & Shakti, spiritual teacher Raja Choudhury will guide you on a deep exploration of the beauty and power of this Tantric worldview, building from the meditations of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra and finding expression in the dance between Shiva and Shakti that is going on in your body, mind, and spirit in every moment.

We’ll begin with an introduction to the concept of Shiva and Shakti and the origins, practices, and history of Tantra and Kundalini, Kriya, and Laya Yoga as well as the Sri Vidya and Maha Vidya schools of Shaktism. We’ll explore the writings of the Rudra Yamala Tantra and Vigyan Bhairav Tantra from Kashmir Shaivism and see how this syncretic mystery school and the scriptures written in the 9th century integrated Yoga, Tantra, Shaivism, Shaktism, and Buddhism in an unusual way to give us a mystical manual for living the meditative life while fully immersed in everyday living. By taking excerpts from the scriptures, Raja will give you a roadmap for the next 11 weeks and guide you through some of the techniques you can embrace to awaken expanded consciousness.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover the origins and history of Tantra and the Shiva Shakti philosophical traditions
• Be introduced to the 112 techniques of meditation of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra that are considered to be the dialogues between Shiva and Shakti and the foundation for much of Tantra, Yoga, Sri Vidya, and more
• Draw a roadmap of the next 11 weeks and understand how the process will unfold and evolve
• Experience 3 practices from the scriptures that you can try in preparation for the next class

Module 2: The Breath of Shiva

All great Tantric and Yogic wisdom begins with breath. To understand the in-breath (Prana), and the out-breath (Apana), and all the stages in between can lead to pure awakening. It is understood that in order for the mind to break through to the superconscious realms, the seeker must dramatically increase their Prana and then all will be revealed. This is the foundation of all Yoga and Tantra, and in particular the awakening of the Kundalini. The first part of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra emphasizes Shiva teaching Shakti about the breath and how to awaken using it.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore the first part of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra and discover how breath is the key to all aspects of awakening
• Understand the principles of Prana and Apana and the 5 aspects of breathing in the subtle body that lead to harmonious living
• Receive focused meditations on breath that will lead to clarity, awakening, and balance
• Discover how to overcome all negative emotions in the day with just a single breath

Module 3: The Peacock’s Feather & Other Inner Magic

Visualize energy flowing up your spine like lightning bolts or the heart blissfully spinning like a peacock’s feather. In this module, you’ll be guided into the subtle Nadis or energy channels in the body, and see how you can visualize and affect awakening through imagining lightning bolts in the spine, as lotus petals opening, as letters forming garlands and sounds, and as colors. The next segment of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra takes us into the mysteries of the Sushumna Nadi, Kundalini, the Third Eye, and the Heart Center for awakening.

In this module, you’ll:

• Visualize your body as a living dance of light, sound, and colors
• Get to know and explore the Sushumna Nadi and the Chakras or Lotuses in your body
• Learn how to turn inwards in your body at any instant to find stillness, awakening, and bliss

Module 4: The Inner Sounds of Bliss

If we can listen carefully, our inner senses can become highly tuned, and soon we become observers of every movement and sound within. In this module, you’ll be guided into the subtle art of inner listening, sound, and vibration. You’ll learn how to generate frequencies inside yourself that will not only awaken you but transform your life. As we explore verses 14 onwards of the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, we’ll master the subtle art of listening completely.

In this module, you’ll:

• Find out how to shut yourself within and listen to your inner sounds
• Discover the primal sound AUM, the Pranava, and learn how to really chant it and hear it inside
• Examine the true meanings of beej mantras and Sanskrit letters and how they affect your consciousness
• Discover how listening to any music can awaken you by your own imagination
• Explore the silence in all sound

Module 5: The Vast Fullness of the Void

Experiencing space inside and outside of ourselves is not a normal part of everyday life — training this perceptual awareness is a key path to awakening. In this module, you’ll discover how to sense and experience space around you and inside your being. You’ll learn about the layers or sheaths of your consciousness and how you can expand your awareness from little “me” to vast cosmic awareness just through observation. You’ll discover the vast void that is everywhere around us and also deep inside of us, how everything arises there, and how it is the true nature of bliss.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn how to use your imagination to explore vast inner and outer space
• Discover that you can expand your consciousness by gazing into deep space and vast open spaces
• Navigate within your body to discover your subtle channels, your organs and your very essence
• Explore the subtle dimensions within your spine and your midbrain to discover the vast consciousness inside of you
• Become limitless

Module 6: The Joy of Sensuous Being

Experiencing joy and bliss in every experience of life is a meditation on higher consciousness. Imagine the joy of meeting old friends, savoring a delicious meal, listening to music, making love, or feeling a cool breeze or a sunrise or an ant crawling up your arm, or anything that give you pleasure. Or anything at all, from cutting vegetables to walking in nature. Experience everything fully and dissolve into the feeling. This alone will awaken you. In this module, you’ll discover how to experience bliss consciousness in the simple pleasures of life.

In this module, you’ll:

• Explore how to find excitement and pleasure in everything from a caress to a menial task
• Shut down the senses in moments of most sensory pleasure without losing the bliss
• Remember the beauty of your life — and in that remembering, awaken
• Learn how to enjoy and become the taste of food and drink until you and the food or drink dissolve into one
• Discover how every good sensory feeling, every memory, and every sweet experience can become an opportunity for awakening

Module 7: Inner Sky, Inner Light & the Weightless Feather

Can you become as light as a feather and experience complete freedom from the body and the burdens of life? Can you experience a feeling of sunshine and blue skies even when all is gloom around you? Can you feel good when everything else seems to be falling apart? Can you experience death and be reborn free? In this module, you’ll explore how simple meditations can instantly make you feel light, spacious, and full of possibility, and free from the dualities and polarities of life.

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience how to die — and find new life in your next in-breath
• Understand how to awaken at the point between breaths, between waking and sleeping, between this and that
• Discover the vast blue skies that sit inside you, awaiting your observation
• Practice becoming as light as a feather and float away free
• Sense your inner light in every movement, in every breath, and in everything — all inside your head

Module 8: The Art of Letting Go in Deepest Desire

Is it possible to let something go just at the peak of your desiring it? Can you let go of anger, envy, lust, greed, and pain just at the point they seem to be ready to explode? Yes! In Tantra, giving up something does not mean suppressing your desires or hatred and anger. It means exploring them until you are near the point of fulfillment and then in that joy, just letting go! Sounds crazy but it works! Raja will explore the idea of what letting go really means, and teach you techniques to help you let go at the tipping point of peak experiences, whether good or bad.

In this module, you’ll:

• Understand how to use breath and sound to just let go
• Discover how to observe peak experiences in a self-sensing way, and then just at the point of eruption, let go
• Explore the observer part of you that is watching and sensing your every action, thought, and word
• Explore the expanding of your consciousness as you feel it moving outwards in every direction, and watch how barriers dissolve… no more dualities… no more polarities… I AM

Module 9: The Power of Desire & Middle Pillar

Desire is the most powerful force in the universe. No sexuality, no creativity, no war, no anything can manifest without desire. The question is, can you become an alchemist and learn how to play with, control, manipulate, and use your desire to manifest any reality you want? The art of stopping all thought and transmuting desire into awakening is a subtle art, and can only be done if we see things as they really are. In this module, you’ll learn how to awaken the middle pillar in your being. and see all dualities, polarities, and divisions as just two aspects of the same thing — and in this realization you will awaken.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discover the middle pillar in your awakened mind and see all dualities for what they are — vibrations or frequencies of the same thing pulling you in different directions
• Find out how to vibrate in rhythm between the poles of life — desire/detachment, love/hate, sad/happiness, pain/pleasure
• Explore techniques to detach from any desire — from your body, from pain, and from your poles with just one thought, instantly
• Discover how to view everything as a detached observer — and see your role in the drama of life

Module 10: No Me, Everything NaMaHa

How far can you expand your consciousness? Your awareness? Can you feel the pain of another? Can you imagine what it means to be limitless? To flow with the universal flow and see all as you? In this module, you’ll learn how to dissolve your boundaries and become a more universal being. The more limited we are to “I” consciousness the more we miss the flow of the I AM within us. The dance of Shiva Shakti is all about limitlessness beyond all dualities and how, step by step, we can transform our identities from little old “me” to “everything.” This is the meaning of NaMaHa, a Sanskrit word literally translated as “not about me.”

In this module, you’ll:

• Experience consciousness as a nonlocal morphic field and phenomenon as you blur the lines between who you think you are and the universal mind
• Explore how to identify and flow with the universal mind of Shiva Shakti, and thereby manifest your true destiny
• Feel yourself expanding to becoming completely omniscient and omnipresent — becoming everything and yet still fully aware in your little self
• Discover how to live in the world fully while maintaining this NaMaHa state of being

Module 11: Who Am I

The most important question we can ask ourselves in this life is, Who am I? Am I this body? Am I the energy force field around and inside me? Am I the mind that plans and dreams and loves and hates and tries to make this life work? Am I the subtle intuitive mind observing everything, feeling deeply, and wanting to be more human, kind, compassionate, and loving? Am I those moments of bliss i have glimpsed, and why can’t I experience them all the time? is there more? Is there a level of consciousness where I can experience the bliss of complete universal awareness and transcendence while living in this body and finding inner peace? So many questions! We’ll explore these profound questions as we come to the end of our journey and the beginning of wisdom.

In this module, you’ll:

• Ask yourself the deepest question of your life: WHO AM I?
• FInd out how to expand your identity consciousness outwards from your body to the bliss-consciousness of Shiva Shakti that pervades the entire cosmos
• Discover your true SELF, how to become the I AM, and how to observe your life from within and from everywhere

Module 12: Conclusion

Living With the Union of Shiva & Shakti

In this final module, we’ll trace our journey back from the Universal Self of Shiva Shakti back to the breath that started it all, and then see how this set of meditations is a profound manual or guide book for how to live your life completely. Raja will help you draw a map of how to work with these profound discoveries in your everyday life to become a deeply sensing human being who has realized that your true nature is Shiva Shakti — and that you are only playing a drama in all these wonderful dualities, both in beauty and in darkness. You’ll learn how to become whole again along the middle pillar, reconnect your Shakti at the base of your spine with Shiva at your Third Eye, and then once again dance in the union of Shiva and Shakti while being completely amazing in every part of your life.
