The principles and practices of Bardo Yoga for navigating the state of rebirth
Description
In this episode, we explore the profound Tibetan practice of Bardo Yoga. The term "bardo" literally means "in-between," and while it's most famously associated with the state between death and rebirth, this podcast reveals how the practice is fundamentally about mastering transition in all its forms. We discuss the origins of Bardo Yoga within the Six Dharmas of Nāropa and map out the cartography of consciousness known as the six bardos—three experienced during life (waking, dreaming, and meditation) and three that occur after death (dying, reality, and becoming). This episode explains how the bardos of life serve as a training ground for the final journey. We delve into the core yogic techniques, such as recognizing the "clear light" of pure consciousness at the moment of death and navigating the visionary landscapes that follow. Finally, the podcast examines how the "bardo principle" is applied in the modern world, transforming this ancient wisdom into a practical tool for navigating the challenges and uncertainties of everyday life.
