Welcome to this channel. I am Peter and I enjoy sharing here what I have learned. I first studied with the famous author Harish Johari and then later I was further inspired by so many others. Basically these teachings belong to Tantric Advaita. That is the non-dual understanding on both consciousness and energy. As in Advaita Vedanta, the nondual Self is always at the center of our practice and understanding. Yet we also learn to harmonize our energy through a variety of Tantric practices. This way we can truly learn to live naturally in pure beingness.

Sep 12 2022 72 mins

Aside from the many energetic practices that can be used to bring balance, five yogic paths are there for the Ego. Each has their own typical traps. To keep it simple, we combine these with some good daily habits that prevent imbalance. With our main energetic practice and the seed-based practices we can move forward easily. Daily habits are mostly in tune with the rhythm of day an

7/8 Tantric Advaita - The Journey of the Soul

Sep 12 2022 56 mins

The Ego is the true hero of Yoga and most essentially resides within our soul. The soul is the subtle energy body that moves from one body to the next in the process of reincarnation. Understanding the largely subconscious complexity of our Ego attachments, we may understand the need for many lives to bring about the final goal of enlightenment. The ancient seven steps towards enli

6/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Time (Prana)

Sep 12 2022 67 mins

The power of Time is the power of change, which is the power of the life force (Prana). It emerges from the bliss (Ananda) of the Self. It manifests in so many forms which to some degree we can either stop from changing or balance to reach a more neutral form. Breath retention (Kumbhaka) is a major practice used to slow down or stop mind and calm down our entire system. It is in th

5/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Space

Sep 12 2022 57 mins

The power of ethereal space relates to the five elements of which our body is made. These elements are generating our basic desires for security, pleasure, status, love and understanding. When we take good care for our body as a good mother would, the elements are balanced and our desires become more easy to manage. Likewise our emotions will be more harmonious. This rest upon a va

Sep 12 2022 26 mins

The Powers of Sound, Space and Time manifest from the Self to create the Universe, while also offering us so many practices to return to the feeling of the Self. The power of Sound thus manifests as the power of Aum and other seed sounds, the powers of mantra, beat, tone, music, thought and desire. The Power of Space is infused with the care and sharing in motherly love, including

4/8 Tantric Advaita - The Power of Sound

Sep 12 2022 48 mins

The Power of Sound may help us to find our inner silence, especially if our emotions are somewhat troubled and making it hard. We are sound frequencies ourselves and by producing sound, we can change our emotional frequency. The science of Sanskrit holds incredible understanding on how sounds affect us. The seed sounds, chakra sounds and mantras brought forward by the yogic traditi

2/8 Tantric Advaita - The Seeds within the Self

Sep 12 2022 35 mins

The most essential understanding in Tantric Advaita concerns the seeds or potentials that are hidden within the Self, from which the entire universe manifests. They are based on the ancient trinity of Sat-Chit-Ananda, from which the powers of Time, Space and Sound emerged. These seeds also offer us the principal energetic methods to regenerate the feeling of nonduality. They provid

Help, my boyfriend is a Neanderthal in bed ?!

Sep 12 2022 23 mins

The lady asking me this question meant that while she has not much to complain about her boyfriend in general, in bed he is responding in a rather primitive fashion. When some sexual interaction starts, he is very rapidly aroused and finishes quickly, leaving her quite unsatisfied. Hence, the reference to a 'Neanderthal in bed'. To my experience, many couples have these kinds

How and Why to do an Ancestor Ritual ?

Sep 12 2022 23 mins

Ancestor rituals are very easy and useful to do. In modern culture this has been mostly lost, while in ancient cultures it was always a main aspect of the spiritual practices of a community. The best time is on the morning of a new moon, when the gate is wide open and the ancestors are also in the most calm mood. It only needs to take 5 minutes in which we greet the ancestors, wish
