Lorin will be teaching a small-group masterclass on mantras for advanced meditation practitioners. He will be teaching the intricacies of meditating with mantras through combination of virtual classes, private coaching, and individual practice.

This masterclass will include:

• 3 live (Zoom) 2-hour sessions with Lorin on mantra yoga. These classes will be recorded and the recording will be shared with all the participants within 1 day of the event.

  • This will be a small-size class (limited to 8 people) for people with a strong background in meditation. This masterclass is designed to allow people with established meditation practice and more advanced understanding of meditation to deepen their knowledge of mantras. The small size of the class will allow for enough time for everyone to ask their questions and get enough personal attention from Lorin.

  1 private session (1 hour). You can take your private session any time between December 20, 2021 and February 24, 2022. During this session, you can work with Lorin to fine-tune your practice with mantras to suit your individual needs and to answer any questions you might have.

What we will explore:

• Initiation into the yoga of mantras.

• Discover the mantras that naturally speak to you. How to let your mantra arise from the depth of your being and take you on a journey of rest, healing and discovery

• Drawing inspiration from classic mantras, Sanskrit mantras, bija mantras.

• Pranava (OM) as a primordial sound of creation.

• Four levels of being with a mantra

• How to dissolve into a mantra and let it carry you through your meditation

• Mistakes that people who meditate with a mantra typically make and how to avoid them.

• Obstacles that arise during meditating with a mantra. How to handle sensation and thoughts that come when you resonate with a mantra. Tolerating the bliss, the power, and the wisdom that mantra meditation brings.

These are some of the basics of mantra meditation. These 3 live classes will be driven by the material that Lorin wants to cover, and also by your questions, reflections, and direct experience.

Why study with Lorin?

Dr. Lorin Roche began meditating in 1968 as part of physiological research at the University of California, where he discovered that meditation is a completely natural and spontaneous mode of functioning of the human body-mind system. While working at the lab Lorin was introduced to the luminous teachings of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, a classic meditation text describing 112 doorways into communion with the Soul, and he has been using this text as a practice manual and teaching guide since then.

For the last 54 years, he has been exploring, “What style of meditation works for each individual? What helps people to thrive in meditation and what are the obstacles?” This line of inquiry led to Lorin getting a PhD from the University of California at Irvine for his research into the language meditators use to describe their inner experiences.
