We move beyond the soul's intuitive flow into the Ajna Compex of Higher Consciousness: the dimension of self that operates beyond localised identity, where one accesses supra-subjective awareness, the fount of sattva, the access point to Kaivalya, that in which all is contained.

 

ABHYASA, PRACTICE

 

Asana Progression

• Stage 4 (Day 1): Foundation class with Surya Namaskar and integration of Water, Fire, and Wind asanas

• Stage 5 (Days 2-4): Five progressive classes introducing Space element asanas—working with refined consciousness control through the balance and poise required in inversions

 

Pranayama Development

• Level 3: Foundation class establishing the full sequence including Bhastrika with retentions

• and Bandhas

• Level 4: Five progressive classes introducing Brahmaree with meditation on Jyotismati (inner light) at chest center, throat pit, or eyebrow center—cultivating the pranic refinement necessary for accessing higher consciousness states and pure witness awareness

 

Kriya Yoga

• Level 3: Foundation class with the 12-step sequence

• Level 4: Four classes expanding to 16 steps of Kriya Yoga—working with the energetic architecture to further refine experience, supporting the emergence of non-dual awareness and Mahat consciousness

 

Yoga Nidra

• Level 3: Foundation class working with deeper consciousness structures

• Level 4: Two advanced classes introducing complete archetypal work—Space Element archetypes (Class 1) and Wind Element archetypes (Class 2)—accessing the deepest layers of chitta where universal patterns and higher self structures can be engaged and transformed

 

VIDYA, THEORY

 

Raja Yoga: Chapter 4 - Kaivalya Pada (Absolute Freedom) 

 

Class 1: Alchemy, Destiny, and Time

• Alchemy of the Soul (Sutras 4.1-4.8): The transformation processes that lead to liberation

• Destiny, Meaning, and Time (Sutras 4.9-4.15): Understanding the relationship between karma, temporal experience, and the construction of meaning—how consciousness creates and transcends causality

 

Class 2: Keys to Higher Self-Consciousness

• Accessing Higher Self (Sutras 4.18-4.20): The keys to Mahat consciousness and Seer as Self-form

• Beyond Higher Self (Sutras 4.20-4.27): The territory that transcends even elevated consciousness—approaching non-dual awareness

 

Class 3: On Absolute Freedom

• Kaivalya as Objective (Sutras 4.28-4.34): Understanding absolute freedom as the goal of Anuttara Yoga Tantra

• Lack of Freedom's Roots: Non-agency in personality design and lack of understanding of Maya processes—why most beings remain trapped in mechanical existence

• The Achievement of Kaivalya: Complete liberation through conscious evolution

 

Space Element in Personality and Psyche

​

Class 1: Vishuddhi and Talu Chakra Traits Understanding the dual purification and higher communication functions of the Space element:

• LPT 1 Traits of Vishuddhi: The purification levels and their expression in consciousness

• LPT 1 Traits of Talu Chakra: The refined communication and higher ordering capacities

 

Class 2: Indu Chakra Traits Examining the most refined aspects of Space element consciousness through LPT 1 traits of the Indu Chakra—the nectar center and its role in consciousness refinement.

 

Class 3: The FAR Matrix Working with the Fears, Attractions, and Repulsions framework specific to Space Element consciousness. Understanding the psychological dynamics of higher consciousness—what draws and repels at the level of Mahat awareness.

 

Space Element in the 0-Point System

​

Class 1: Supra-Subjective Intuition and the Ajna Complex

• Access Consciousness: One Truth and infinite versions of relative truth—understanding the relationship between absolute and relative perspectives

• Mahat, Purusha, and Non-Self Consciousness: Differentiation between universal self, witness consciousness, and awareness beyond self in Asamprajnata states

• Space as Fount of Sattva: The source of purity, clarity, and harmony—why Space element governs equilibrium

• The Rudra Linga: Purusha as destroyer of localized identities—consciousness that dissolves limited self-structures

• The Disconnected Chakra: Why Space is the only chakra architecturally separated from the elemental chain

• Raja Yoga as Space-Based: Understanding Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi as the most internal Yogas—control over consciousness itself as the highest mastery

• The Ajna Complex: Ajna, Bindu, Talu, Indu, and Nirodha—the complete architecture of higher consciousness centers

 

Class 2: Balancing Space and Kosha Refinement

• Assonance and Dissonance: Understanding harmonious versus discordant expression of Space element

• Critical Distinctions: Compassion vs. Forgiveness, Detachment vs. Non-Caring, Synchronicity vs. Empathy—the subtle differentiations necessary for mature Space consciousness

• Need to Balance Space: Why even higher consciousness requires grounding and integration

• Anandamaya Kosha: The bliss body—the most refined sheath of existence

• Space as Teacher: The role of higher consciousness as guru to both ego-based intellect and soul-based intuition

• The Somarasa: Sura vs. Asura—the nectar of consciousness, the Bindu chakra and its dual potentials.
