Registration requested.
To purchase appropriate number of meditation journals.

Email threejewels.nyc@gmail.com

Requirements:
To attend this course, you will be required to keep a daily meditation journal and make effort to meditate six days a week using the techniques presented.

Pre-Requisites:
This is a extremely difficult and advanced course. Students with a serious interest in understanding ultimate reality are welcomed. This is not a drop-in course. Previous Bok Jinpa courses, particularly Bok Jinpa II, are recommended but not required.

Course Description:
Lord Buddha predicted, “After I have passed away and 400 years have come and gone. A monk called the Naga shall appear. He is one of great faith who will uphold the teachings.”

This is Arya Nagarjuna’s greatest work on emptiness. The Root Text on Wisdom (Prajnya Nama Mula Madhyamaka Karika) clarifies the true meaning of Middle Way philosophy and systematically confronts how we misunderstand the world. This text presents the highest world-view of ultimate reality.

This is a hands-on, experiential course with weekly meditation assignments.

About Teachers:
The course is taught by James Connor and Dr. Lisette Garcia, who gained the lineage from Lama Christie McNally, who completed a three-year silent retreat in the Arizona desert. James and Lisette are long-time students of the ancient wisdom of Tibet and India, are certified meditation teachers from the Asian Classics Institute of New York and Diamond Mountain University in Arizona. They are excited about continuing to present the Bok Jinpa series and Arya Nagarjuna’s wisdom with the blessings of Lama Christie.

Crazy Sexy Wisdom

Inner Winds, Nadis,Chakras-Getting to the Heart of Yoga

INNER WINDS, NADIS, CHAKRAS- GETTING TO THE HEART OF YOGA

Saturday, August 9th, 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

The Talk is Free

In this evening talk Shyam and Christine will be
going deep into a detailed presentation of our
inner body. You will learn about the subtle
channels of prana in our bodies and how they
form into the chakras. From a yogic viewpoint
it is these very knots in our inner body that
tie us down to lower levels of consciousness
and keep us in a mindset of suffering.

Then they will present the yogic wisdom
of detangling the charkas to where
the prana can run smoothly thereby
opening us up to much higher
levels of consciousness and bliss.

They will also describe what
happens on an inner body level
as we do our asanas and how
we can enter into this higher
level in our yogic practice
with greater ease and higher
awareness.
