Within each of us is a source of unbounded spaciousness, infinite awareness, and a natural joy of being. At The 3 Doors, we refer to this source as the inner refuge. By turning our attention inward and focusing on the stillness of the body, the silence of inner speech, or the spaciousness of mind – the three doors – we enter this inner refuge, the core of unlimited creative potential. The Inner Refuge is taught as a seated meditation practice. Once learned, this meditation method may be practiced from moment to moment throughout your day, to reduce overthinking and recharge your energy.
The source book for these teachings is Awakening the Luminous Mind by Tenzin Wangyal.
Supported by seated body movements, the Tibetan meditation practice of Tsa Lung brings together the mind, body, and breath. Tsa is the Tibetan word for channel and Lung is the word for wind. These body movements work with subtle energy centers (chakras) to allow you to connect to your inner wisdom and rest in a relaxed yet aware state of mind. Integrate this meditation practice into your daily routine to clear habitual patterns and live life in a more authentic, spontaneous way.
Source book for these teachings is Awakening the Sacred Body by Tenzin Wangyal.
Explore the healing capacity of sound. In this Tibetan meditation, known as the Five Warrior Syllables, we bring our attention to five subtle energy centers in the body (chakras) and vocalize a sound, A, OM, HUNG, RAM or DZA, at each location. As we relax into the vibrations and rest in that silence, a natural confidence arises that goes beyond regrets, fears, hopes, and accomplishments. This practice helps to clear obstacles and overcome negativity.
“The term warrior refers to the ability to conquer the forces of negativity. Sacred sound has the power to eliminate obstacles, emotional blocks, and mental obscurations…” p. 8, Tibetan Sound Healing, by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche – the source book for these teachings.
Acclaimed author and meditation master Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche draws on the ancient wisdom of the Tibetan Bon Buddhist tradition to guide us in developing the ability to show up fully for our lives and clear whatever blocks us from expressing our creative gifts for the greatest good.
Tibetan Sound Healing explains the use of sound to clear and focus the mind. In this integrated book-and-CD learning program on the Warrior Syllables, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche gives you the tools to access wisdom and compassion and use the vibration of sacred sound to cultivate the healing power within your body’s subtle channels.
Awakening the Sacred Body explains the Tibetan Yogas of breath and movement. Teacher Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche outlines the theory and process of two powerful meditations—the Nine Breathings of Purification and the Tsa Lung movements—that can help you change the way you think, feel, and experience the world.
Awakening the Luminous Mind focuses on Dzogchen, the highest practice of contemplation and abiding in the clear light of the natural mind. Internationally acclaimed author and renowned teacher, Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche will guide you to bring these simple practices into your everyday life by turning inward and finding what he calls your “inner refuge.” By this he means boundless space, infinite awareness, and the qualities that arise that have the power to transform your life.
