History
Lhama Yoga developed out of the Indian Trantric system called Vishnu Yoga,
(Union with the Preserver) the healing aspect of Tantra. It is a special system
to activate the power center of the body, located at the Solar Plexus or Adhra
Cha. This system of techniques involves dynamic yoga postures, breathing
exercises, meditations, visualizations and rituals. This yoga has been taught in
India for over 5,000 years. In the 4th century A.D tantric guru Padmasambhava
Rimpoche took the science to Tibet and renamed it Dumo Fire (Yoga of the Inner
Psychic Heat). Later he transmitted the science to Tilopa. The next transmission
went to guru Naropa, then came Marpa, the first Tibetan to receive the rod of
power (Vajra) and finally to the great Tibetan yogi, Milarepa.
As time passed it was taught to Monk Atatojun, who developed Potala Lhama
Kung-fu (Lion Roar) based on the movement of the ape, crane, snake and the
Tibetan tiger. Lama Atatojun taught Lhama Yoga to the fighting monks as a
spiritual practice along with their Kung_Fu.
Lhama Yoga is a very vigorous yoga. It became an important practice, because it
produces Dumo Heat (the internal psychic heat) to keep one warm and full of
vitality. This was important for survival in the intense cold of the Himalayan
Mountains. When the monks have achieved mastery, they are able to sit
comfortably in the snow for solitary meditation and melt sheets of ice around
their bodies. Producing that kind of energy made them impervious to cold and
even hunger. In the advanced stages you do not even need food. You just sustain
yourself on the air you breath.
But the most important use of the energy is for empowerment for the meditations
and visualizations for spiritual enlightenment.
The science of Lhama Yoga was kept secret because of the intensity of this
internal energy. The power can be used to heal, or (in martial arts) to kill,
depending on the consciousness with which it is used. It is the cosmic fire that
comes up through the chakra system and propels you into cosmic awarness.
The Indian Tantric believes that spiritual life or expansion of awareness starts
at the Base Center (Mooladhara) The Tantric Buddhist in Tibet however, believes
that the center of our inner energy (Kundalini) lies in our solar plexus, and
from there man's consciousness begins to expand.
They consider the two lower chakras as belonging to the higher ranges of animal
life, where as Adhra Chakra marks the beginning of the evolution of the higher
man. They fear that working at the level of the base center and the sex center,
one might regress into animal consciousness, but once awarness is established in
the Solar Plexus, there is no danger in slipping back. The practices you will
learn in this course will build and expand these lower chakras in a very safe
manner, with no danger of regression.
Adhra Chackra Is the center of Lung (Divine Energy) within the Human body. It is
called the Sun Center as it radiates and disnd life throughout the body.
The Tibetans see in the body's energy system three major channels of energy. The
central channel, Uma, running along the frontal center line; a channel for
active (male) energy running along the right side of Uma, and a channel for
receptive (female) energy running along the left side of Uma.
The only way to activate and develop Ahra Chakra is through Uma Breathing. The
Dumo Meditations are based on this type of breathing which allows for the
absorption in the breath of Lung (pronounced loonge).
Lung (known in India as Prana) consists of ions of elementary charged particles
that orginate in the ionosphere. The ions are essential to the bio-electrical
chemical process of life itself. This is the Life-Force that animates our
bodies.
The primary goal in Tantric Tibetan Buddhism is to get off the "Wheel of
Samskara., the endless sequence of lives trying to work off your karmic debt.
You may use this energy to propel yourself into the enlightened state, the Void,
known to the Tantric Buddhist as Sunyata.
Start by building this energy reservoir in Adhra Chakra, then learn to move the
energy through a circuit up the spine, and finally leave the body and return to
the Nous, the Sourse of Existence.
This figure is sitting with his hands in the Sun/Moon Position. This position
balances the male and female energies within the body. A balance must be
attained in order for the energy to travel through the spine. The healing
process takes place when you have a reservoir of energy in Adhra Chakra and then
transfer that energy up the front channels to the heart center and then through
the hands for the laying-on-of-hands healing.
You will learn to bring the Dumo energy up into the brain, the thousand petaled
lotus, and go into the Sunyata state from where we originated. Suntaya means
nothing-ness, but in its cosmic aspect it also means everything becoming. Out of
Nous or the darkness comes the light. Out of this light comes manifestation
because it creates friction. In the Taoist system they call it the mixing of yin
and yang or the essence.
The hindus believe that experiencing the vibrations of this crown chakra is the
final goal. But in the Kundalini aspect of Dumo Yoga, we go into this point and
beyond into the darkness. The Hindus feel that once they see the white light,
they have reached the end of the path. But to the Tibetans that is only the
beginning. They believe you have to go into the darkness to bring forth the
light. This is the Source of Creativity: coming into the darkness, visualizing,
focusing the energy, and bringing it back out into the physical plane.
The positive (male, solar) and negative (female, lunar) energy currents are said
to run parallel to the Uma Channel from the nostrils all the way down to the
base center. We use a technique called the double breath to allow an equal
amount of male and female prana to reach kundalini Generator.
This balanced energy stimulates the Kundalini gland, which for men is the
prostate gland and for women is the G-spot. These glands secrete hormones which
produce a tremendous amount of heat. Then through the extremities you bring the
heat up these two side channels and project it out for healing. (Or Other)
First we learn how to generate intense heat from the Adhara chakra in the gross
physical body. As you become more sensitive you start tuning into the pranic
body, the energy that suffuses our being. You'll come in contact with this
subtle source that's behind you and working through the body. Once you get into
that state, using special breathing techniques, you will be able to go into the
Nous or Cosmic Body of your being.
In the Tibetan system, we work with the energy channel down the front of the
body, the Uma Channel. Using special breathing techniques, you will guide the
energy down the center channel into the Adhra Chakra. Then it goes down to the
Kundalini Generator. First we build up a reservoir of heat, then we transfer it
down into the genital area, and finally move it up the spine until it comes back
to Bindu at the crown of the head.
The crescent moon at the forehead represents the center of your femal (lunar)
energy. Directly above that is the solar center for your male energy. You will
feel coolness at the third eye center, and a hot sensation at the forth eye. As
you build up the fire, you move it back up into your moon center, then sen it
out into the cosmic space. And that's where all the solar energy come back in.
We must learn to balance and blend these two current to produce the kundalini
Dumo fire.
As you do this practice your body temperature will change. This is not fantasy
or visualization. You are going to feel very, very warm. That is the secret of
healing. You learn how to generate tremendous amounts of psychic heat before you
lay on the hands. Many people who have been trained into Seishim, Reiki, and
other healing systems have only learned to produce heat in their hands. The
whole body has to be hot when you are healing. Otherwise you will burn yourself
out.
We need Adhra Chakra to be strong with Vital Life Force because it is the
meeting point of energy channels in the etheric body. There are said to be
72,000 nadis that run throughout the body and connect at the Adhra Chackra. You
can see why this chakra is the mimportant chakra in the Tibetan system. By
practicing the Asanas, Breathing and Dumo Meditation as described in this
course, you will be able to build a great reservoir of energy and then spread
the heat by using certain breathing techniques to energize the nadis, empower
your visualizations, rejuvenation, sexuality, self-empowerment, etc.
