In this episode I talk to Glenn Mullin, returning for a third appearance and let me tell you this one is a goldmine. Glenn is a Tibetologist, translator, and Tantric Buddhist meditation teacher, who studied for many years in Dharmsala with the Dalai Lama’s own gurus. Continuing on from our previous discussions on the 6 Yogas of Naropa, we move beyond tummo into the illusory body yogas - including the illusory nature of appearances, the yogas of dream and sleep sleep, and bardo yoga. Glenn lays out how to practice tantra in all aspects of life, explores the differences between the tantra and sutra application of emptiness, addressees imbalances between the male and female energies and how to remedy them, and reveals the difference between tantric dream yoga vs modern lucid dreaming techniques. Topics Include: 00:58 - The death process and the five signs of tummo accomplishment 21:07 - Practicing tantra in all aspects of ordinary life 29:46 - Glenn’s sleep yoga practice 30:46 - Illusory nature of reality 42:08 - Emptiness in tantra vs sutra 52:34 - Illusory body yogas of sleep and bardo 54:13- Tantric visualisation in daily life 1:00:56 - Imbalances in the male and female energies 1:06:32 - Modern lucid dreaming vs Tantric Dream Yoga Audio version of this podcast also on iTunes, Stitcher, and Soundcloud at: https://www.guruviking.com/ep26-glenn-mullin-illusory-body-yoga-of-waking-sleep-and-death/
