Podcasts about tibetan dream yoga

Could doing yoga while on psychedelics improve insight? What about yoga while lucid dreaming? Our guest, Henry Kandel, teaches what he calls “Ketamine-State Yoga” which he says improves healing outcomes, stokes creative flow, and cultivates spiritual experience. While ingesting an unintentionally large amount of ketamine while meditating, our guest discovered the value of doing spiritual practices while using psychedelics, and now he teaches it to others. When it comes to breaking patterns of depression or addiction, Henry says that the key to getting a healing effect is to have a spiritual or mystical experience whether meditating, having a lucid dream, or using psychedelics. He then touches into microdosing and how it can enhance noticing the dream-like nature of things. After the break we take two calls, the first is from Henry’s daughter Alice in Brooklyn who describes starting a lucid dreaming practice at age eight to help her deal with her troubling sleep paralysis. The second caller is Ellen from Soquel who shares some of her experiences of using Tibetan Dream Yoga practices to enhance lucid dreaming. At the end of the show, Henry speculates why mystical experiences are emotionally healing. BIO: Henry Kandel is a science teacher and yogi living in Brooklyn. He has studied diverse forms of yoga for over 30 years including Tibetan Dream and Sleep Yoga from Tenzin Wangyal and Chongtul Rinpoche. He originated Ketamine-State Yoga and has taught it to yogis, therapists, and hundreds of folks online. Find our guest at: HenryKandel.com where you can find out about his psychedelic yoga meetup.

Guiding spirits home. Our guest shares some of her experiences of psychopompic dreaming in this mind-blowing replay show. Starting when she was 9 or 10 she would dream of being in a classroom where she learned how to change the dream. Several years later she describes her first experience of helping a dying person happened several years later when she found herself in a dream falling together with a woman who was terrified. She was able to slow their fall by dreaming up first n umbrella then a parachute letting the woman land softly in a place where friends were waiting to greet her. She shares several such stories (including one in which she was awake but meditating) and says that in the liminal space between life and death, our dreaming muscles are essential when the physical world falls away. Jeanne describes some of the work of Allan Kellehear in his book Experiences Near Death: Beyond Medicine and Religion, saying that near death experiences vary across cultures, but the one thing in common is that the dying person is always being helped as they approach that threshold. Rick shares a dream in which one of his beloved dogs is killed, and Max asks whether Jeanne feels prepared when she has these experiences of if she is just winging it. We muse over Tibetan Dream Yoga and the idea that we are more open to these liminal spaces when we are dreaming and marveling over the rich variety of metaphors for dying that people experience, and end by talking about how to enhance emotional connections with those who are dying. Jeanne also appeared on the Dream Journal in August 2021. That conversation can be found here: https://ksqd.org/dreams-at-the-end-of-life-with-jeanne-van-bronkhorst/ BIO: Jeanne Van Bronkhorst, MA, MSW, worked with people in hospice care for ten years. Her interest in end-of-life care began in childhood, when she occasionally dreamed of helping people who were dying. Now she is on the board of the IASD, and writes books about end-of-life about end-of-life dreams and grief dreams.

I’m really excited to have Sara Gustafson back on the podcast today and we focus on the mental, emotional and spiritual side of women’s health. We went deep in our first episode on the physical and medical side and the mismatch between men and women both in research and treatment. But, we ran out of time before we could really delve into these other areas. Today, we cover what she calls the four feminine archetypes and how those each relate to women in various periods of their lives, and even in a smaller basis throughout the month. She works with many women in resolving trauma, working through health problems, and a lot more. She’s a CHEK practitioner and has direct experience helping a lot of people work through issues, both physically, mentally, emotionally. We go into some really interesting topics like intuition, balancing those archetypes, and having a proper amount of each in our lives. I’m excited to share it with you. Let’s jump in! Episode Highlights With Sara Gustafson What an archetype is and the most common ones within the heroes journey The four specific feminine archetypes are and why they are important How these archetypes play a role in health What happens when we become detached from the archetypes The shadow of these archetypes and how they express themselves How overexcited or underdeveloped archetypes can express What happens when a woman isn’t allowed to express one of these archetypes The seven dark arrows and how they affect relationships How doing the work can sometimes lead to relationship problems and how she helps counteract these Ways to nurture intuition A reason to write down dreams How to use artwork for inner processing Why Sara paints everyday and how she starts her day Resources We Mention Primal Pride Dreaming Yourself Awake: Lucid Dreaming and Tibetan Dream Yoga for Insight and Transformation Dreaming on Both Sides of the Brain: Discover the Secret Language of the Night Inner Work (Audiobook) The Undiscovered Self: With Symbols and the Interpretation of Dreams

Being with the dying challenges us to be more fully ourselves and we can support our loved ones by listening to their experiences of dreams and visions. Jeanne starts out by sharing a dream premonition she had as a child which woke her up to the power of dreams. Jeanne describes how to tell the difference between dreams and hallucinations. We also talk about visitation dreams and grief dreams. All of these kinds of dreams can help the dying person's family as well as the dying person themselves. We touch into topics including Tibetan Dream Yoga, the hard problem of consciousness, awareness-based meditation, reconciliation with our beloved deceased and the soul. We take a last minute call from Amanda who asks about the dreams of people with Alzheimer's. Bio: Jeanne Van Bronkhorst is a non-fiction writer on dreams and end-of-life care.

Have you ever wondering about how to Lucid Dream? Are you familiar with the ancient techniques of Dream Yoga? Today's guest Dr. Michale Katz is considered an expert in Tibetan Dream Yoga and more, having authored several books on the topic. Dr. Katz's emphasizes he importance of using the time spent asleep and dreaming for spiritual or transpersonal purposes. He will discuss the types of exercises that can help develop awareness within the dream and sleep states associated with Buddhism. We will also discuss the relationship between the "practices of the night" including "Dream Yoga" and the passage through the Bardos of Death and Dying. The lucid dream experience, which may arise as a by-product of meditation awareness or spontaneously assists in understanding the unreality of phenomena, which otherwise, during dream or the death experience, might be overwhelming. In the same way, we believe a nightmare to be real, but if we were to watch a similar scene within a movie, we would not necessarily be frightened." Katz was featured in the Discovery channel video series "The Power of Dreams" (1994) along with other lucid dream trainers as well as the movie "Tamara's Sacred Journey" (2011). He was also a featured speaker at the first "Gateways of the Mind" conference in London 2014, as well as the "Dream's Doorways" conference in Rome 2016. He has traveled to more than 30 countries since the 1980s conducting retreats for the purpose of introducing and training lucidity in the dream state. In particular he has been among the pioneers in utilizing hypnotic induction for lucidity during "guided naps" for this purpose. Additionally his retreats are characterized by the use of lucid dream enactment he has titled "Lucid Dream Theater Work" for the purpose of deepening the experience of the lucid dream state. Katz is also the author of a book of poetry The Crossing (out of print), and a novel The White Dolphin. His novel The White Dolphin raises awareness about the destruction of the world's natural resources. It features the dream based relationship between a white dolphin and an environmental activist.
