We begin by teaching the Foundation practices – it’s greatly important to have a strong foundation.
In years gone by these practices would only have been transmitted to students who had attained to a high enough level – perhaps residing in a monastery for 40 years. Therefore we are greatly honoured to be able to bring these teachings into the Western world.
Golden Light Mudra
Treasure Vase
This Dharma has been used by many practitioners to keep their bodies warm in the cold Himalayan snows, and cool in the blazing heat of the Gobi desert.
The practitioner develops purity and stillness of being, which brings the body under the complete influence of the mind. When the mind is in complete stillness, the body will not change as the environment changes.
Practice the Outer Qi Generating and Releasing Dharma for self-healing and to cultivate the ability to heal others. Learn to adapt to extreme weather with the body warming and cooling meditation techniques.
