Transpersonal Psychology is a spiritual psychology and orients itself towards the transcendent aspects of human experience, humanity's highest potential, and with the recognition, of transcendent states of consciousness.

In the transpersonal realm, one experiences the sense of identity or self that extends beyond (trans) the individual or personal to encompass broader aspects of humankind, life, the psyche, and the cosmos.

Themes or facets of work that come up are: mythological death/rebirth, spiritual awakening, self-development beyond the ego, peak experiences, mystical experiences, spiritual crisis, altered states of consciousness and other sublime and/or unusually expanded experiences of living including working with psychedelics as a healing modality.

The transpersonal stage is well described by the psychological approaches of Assiagoli, Jung, Almaas, Washburn and Wilber. It is explored by the Indigenous traditions of the planet and the mystic lineages such found in Gnostic Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

Cannabis sativa is an annual herbaceous flowering plant originally indigenous to Eastern Asia, now enjoying wide spread cultivation. It has been grown throughout recorded history, used as a source of industrial fiber, seed oil, food, recreation, religious and spiritual sacraments and medicine.

With the pioneering work many psychonauts, we are uncovering Cannabis Sativa’s psychedelic effects when certain terpenes and cannabinoids in varying strains of the flower are present in a single or combined alchemy blend. These terpenes and cannabinoids give rise to psychedelic experiences when consumed and amalgamate with music, breath, body awareness, multi-paradigm pointing out instructions, and a sensitive and conscious set and setting. Many practitioners report non-ordinary states of consciousness mimicking the same effects of MDMA, psilocybin, Ayahuasca, and DMT, particularly when combined with breathwork practices.

This is great news, because Cannabis Sativa is low hanging fruit on the tree in terms of therapeutics: It has an expanding list of legalization in 18 states, and growing acceptance worldwide. Aside from a few contraindications, Cannabis Sativa is very safe to use. It intrinsically has a full-spectrum spirit guide capacity.

It’s time to bring this abundant plant out of the closet ever more, and own our reverence for its healing potentials.

This Tantric meditation practice path is grounded in Transpersonal, Trans-Himalayan psychology and designed specifically for the psychosomatic and cultural conditioning of Western aspirants. The practices work with the underlying life intelligence of the sacred feminine principle of body and matter (Mother).

The practice reveals the non-dual, unbounded ground of being through relaxation, loving kindness, and a softening into the natural vulnerability that supports deep existential release, and heals trauma. The plant intelligence of Cannabis is an initiator awakening the intrinsic energetic dynamism of the life force that allies with the wisdom of the deep unfolding psyche revealed in Open Ground Practice.

Pranayama or “breathwork” is a state-shifting yogic practice used for deep self-exploration. It harnesses the innate intelligence of your own body to enter into non-ordinary states of consciousness and reveals your inner healer, or self-psychologist.

For thousands of years, conscious breathwork has been practiced by yogis

• To expand consciousness

• To access healing and insight

• To gain clarity and vision

• To connect with higher forces / spirit guides

It has the power to alter your state of consciousness by hyper-oxygenating your lungs. It has been researched that the lungs create the highest amounts of DMT in our bodies. In turn, pranayama allows us to access higher realms of awareness, which is deeply transpersonal.

Kundalini, defined in Vedantic culture as energy that lies dormant at the base of the spine until it is activated and channeled upward through the chakras in the process of spiritual perfection. Kundalini is believed by adherents to be power associated with the divine feminine. As we engage in the wisdom of these ancient teachings, we learn to establish endurance, subtlety, stillness, frequency and radiant presence to stay strong in the face of suffering. Yogic philosophy gives us an understanding of the source of dis-ease and the pathway of health as a form of self-discovery.

Kundalini Yoga Alchemy includes:

• Kriya (posture, movement, action)

• Mantra (utilizing the sound current)

• Mudra (taking extraordinary archetypal forms - psychodrama)

• Dristi (gaze and directing energy and awareness towards chakras)

• Pranayama (utilizing many breathing patterns for different effects)
