Dream and Sleep Yoga

Dream and Sleep Yoga

With Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche  •  Jun 5–19, 2018

A 3-part Webinar Series Recorded in June 2018

We sleep one-third of our lifetime, an average of twenty to twenty five years. Centuries ago, Tibetan yogis developed spiritual practices that use dream and sleep as a spiritual path.

Dream yoga is a practice that spans every moment, waking and sleeping. Indeed, the practice of dream yoga is a powerful tool of awakening, used for hundreds of years by the great masters of the Tibetan traditions. Foundational practices, done during the day, change the practitioner’s relationship to all experiences, developing conscious awareness and realizing the dream-like nature of life, and leading to lucidity in dreams which are then used for higher spiritual practices. Unlike in the Western psychological approach to dreams, the ultimate goal of Tibetan dream yoga is the recognition of the nature of mind or enlightenment itself.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, author of the Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep (Snow Lion Publishers), will discuss the relationships between dream and waking, and dream and death.
