Clear light meditation helps the mind rest stable in the metastable state of delta-theta frequencies. This is meditation without object or concept. Close the base and lower doors by pulling up the perineum muscle and directing the energy up the central channel to the third eye and mind. Rest in a state of no thought, softly breathing in-and-out, chanting a simple mantra such as AH NU TA RA HUM with attention on the third eye. Ultimately the mind rests in light.

SLEEP YOGA |

SLEEP YOGA is a cultivated practice which takes place within the Slow Wave Sleep portion of the sleep cycle. In the Sleep Yoga portion of Deep Sleep, slow electrical brainwaves - delta from 2 to 4 hertz, and slightly faster theta waves - ideally are in balance (50% delta, 50% theta). Lamas say that Sleep Yoga is Base (fundamental) consciousness, pure space, like a screen. One day a friend invited me to a Sleep Yoga teaching given by an especially good Rinpoche, (precious teacher). For three nights before the teaching, I couldn't sleep. During the first evening's lecture, the Rinpoche explained that sleeplessness was part of the initiation process into Sleep Yoga. The next morning, I awoke refreshed to write the names of 110 people whose karmas I was carrying. The karmas were perceived as lines of light from me to those people. That day, at the teaching, the Rinpoche introduced the process of "cutting the karmas" we hold with others, as part of Sleep Yoga. The clear luminance of low frequency Sleep Yoga holds the subtle fields for the transmittal of information. To achieve Sleep Yoga, a refined state, the delta and theta portions of electrical activity should be in balance, with waking meditative mind trained to reach delta states. An opened heart greatly facilitates Sleep Yoga. The deepest sleep, between O.5 and 2 cycles per second, has more than 50% delta waves. Here is pure light, pure bliss, but without those theta waves it is difficult to bring the Sleep Yoga realizations to waking consciousness. Why Sleep Yoga? Ever try to get a diverse group of family, friends and strangers, from all cultures, religions, and walks of life, to, not only meet, but agree, without the individual egos and emotions and memories and concepts and karmas and all the countries of mind getting in the way?
"Wherever there is image," say the Lamas, "There is karma." Karma can be perceived as conditioned constructions of the illusion that we receive as reality.

Welcome to the Halls of Amitabha! AH NU TA RA HUM We are hear on the Earth dream to rearrange the days and years! No Fear! Be of good cheer! Now sleep and dream for we need your brave dreams! Your construction of spheres of luminous clear light Leads to the elevation of StarSeeds dreams at night To the place of low frequency rigpa of nondual space Where the trace molecules behave and repave the rule of planets in the sky. Never question, never ask why? In the twilight language, The highest pure lands Of low frequency dreams All the reams of reasons The changing tides and seasons... Sleep deep, for there you connect to the precious treasuries On waves of water. For Sky Dancers, born not to die, Inhabit a pure positive land that's grand On your own collective conscious agreements |
In Sleep Yoga, the low frequency delta places of sleeping mind, we dwell in our own innate luminosity. These ground luminance states are devoid of image and therefore (almost) devoid of karma. In the clear light sleep of Rime mind - everyone kind mind entwined in clear light - we cognize the void, and the origins of manifestation. If it is a dream, it is always re-cognition. As long as there is image in the dream, it is part of maya, illusion. Primordial mind, unborn and unconditioned, holds and unmolds the vibratory grace of maya. And here, after we have cut all the karmic traces "like light laces that tie us to the days and years, we learn how to rearrange the new years completely free of fear," adds the horse. "Discoursing on the Buddhic nature of mind, always kind, always conscious of the divine in all things. As we ring in the sounds of the new years, the elements learn to obey our natural luminosity." |
