What is it?

The Highest Yoga Tantra practice of Vajrayogini is held to be especially effective in “degenerate times” as it skillfully cuts through ignorance and cultivates profound wisdom, love and compassion.

.

We will delve into each of the eleven yogas of this practice,  in order to unpack its meaning. We will explore the many visualizations and experience the various positive states of mind they engender. We will observe how the eleven yogas of Vajrayogini cut through our ordinary view of reality and bring us ever closer to an enlightened state.

Those who join will practice the sadhana together with guidance from Elaine. It will give a taste of how she engages with the sadhana and time for Q & A each day.  A PDF with the chantable version of the sadhana along with various handouts to be used as tools for some of the visualization will be provided. 

Please join us as we collectively share our experience of this practice and offer support to one another. Immersing ourselves in the true meaning of this very profound practice, we can discover the truth of reality. We look forward to sharing this ancient practice with you.
