What the Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice is all about
Karma is the energy that underlies all actions. It’s those invisible patterns that play out over and over again despite our conscious desire to do something different. Ancestral Karma is carried forth through the familial lines, and can be burned up through this particular Tantrik Yoga practice. This online Immersion is designed to provide a supportive, loving and accountable environment to do this work with more ease and joy.
While karma and trauma are not exactly the same thing, they are interlinked. The emerging field of Epigenetics is now scientifically backing up what the yogis knew thousands of years ago. When a person experiences trauma, it changes their gene expression, and that is passed down to the children, and children’s children. Whilst it might sound fanciful to us, the yogis discovered that mantra ‘eats’ karma. That is, with correct focus, intention and attention, the use of specific sounds can impact the energetic body, which then impacts the mental/emotional and physical body.
The Tantrik tradition says that glimpses of one’s true nature (awareness) will start unfolding for a student after 6 months to 3 years of dedicated practice and aligned View teachings. The reason for that time span – 6 months to 3 years – depends on the intensity of the ancestral karma that a student is carrying. Tantra lineages developed practices to support the dissolving of this karma to make it easier for students to awaken to their true nature. We’ll be learning one of those practices on this Immersion, plus other Tantrik practices to support this process.
