A Meditation System for Self-Mastery, Fulfillment, Service to Others,
and Drawing Down Divine Light to Transform You
I am a meditation teacher in a spiritual tradition known as Mudrashram.
We teach the Mudrashram System of Integral Meditation, also known as "The Yoga of the Seven Mudras."
The Divine Light is central in our tradition.
This transformative spiritual energy has been called Grace, Shakti, the Holy Spirit, The Light, Barakah, and the Light Fire of the Spirit, among other names.
In our intermediate-level courses you learn powerful methods to draw down this Divine Light into you.
It is also transmitted to you by the medium of seven sacred hand gestures (initiatory mudras) to awaken you, illumine you, and accelerate your spiritual evolution.
Kundalini Mudra
The Sanskrit term "Yoga" means "Union."
The Yoga of the Seven Mudras is a meditation system that produces greater union between your Human Self and your Higher Self, or Soul.
It also produces greater union between your Soul and the Divine Source, or God.
It combines powerful meditation techniques from many branches of Yoga into a single integrated system.

Additional Techniques From Other Sources
In this way, this integral meditation system provides a more complete set of tools for developing your Soul and your Human Self in a well-rounded way.
This avoids the imbalances, underdevelopment, and unfinished karma that can occur when using a less complete set of tools (e.g. doing only Mantra Yoga, or only Jnana Yoga).
We offer multiple courses and services, ranging from complete beginner to highly advanced.
Courses & Services Offered
Meditation Consultation
This is a one-hour session where you learn one of the meditations of your choosing, drawn from the Foundations of Practical Meditation Course or the Introduction to Meditation Course.
The Foundations of Practical Meditation (Beginner)
This course teaches you meditations to relax, concentrate, take better charge of your life, and live with more peace.
You will learn a powerful form of meditation called Vipassana. This teaches you how to mindfully monitor the content (e.g. sensations/tensions, emotions, and thoughts) in your mind, which helps it to release and come to peace. Mastering this meditation can be life-changing in its beneficial effects over time.
You will learn 14 meditations including:
-
The Hansa Breath
-
The Peace Breath
-
Body Scan
-
Moving and Sitting Meditation
-
Physical Vipassana
-
Emotional Vipassana
-
Mental Vipassana
-
I AM Statement Vipassana
The Introduction to Meditation Course (Beginner to Intermediate)
This course is a structured program that teaches you how to move your attention step-by-step from the waking state of awareness through every level of the mind, all the way up to the Soul.
It features many of the meditations in the Foundations course but goes far beyond it.
In this course you gain a thorough understanding of the makeup of your conscious mind, subconscious mind, and metaconscious mind, and how to use them more effectively. You learn how to perform an inventory on the 12 areas of your life, and set goals for each area.
You learn to gain greater calm, self-control, and empowerment by centering in the Self—the integration center at the core of the personality.
You will be introduced to the Superconscious Mind and your Higher Self (Soul). You will learn a powerful method called the Essence Breath to quickly unite your attention with your Soul. You explore reflective meditation exercises to gain guidance from your Soul. You also learn the Soul Creation Method of creating your intended goals in your life.
This course is an excellent preparation for the intermediate level courses, especially for those with limited experience with meditations that go deeper than the conscious mind.
The Mudrashram Master Course in Meditation (Intermediate)
See below for further information.
Additional Courses (Advanced)
Those who complete the Master Course or AMP gain access to additional advanced courses.
The Mudrashram Master Course in Meditation
In the Mudrashram Master Course in Meditation (MMCIM) you are trained in techniques that empower you to gain greater self-mastery, to improve your life, to be of greater service to others, and to draw down Divine Light daily to produce spiritual & personal transformation.
The teacher, functioning as a conduit, will also transmit Divine Light to you in seven initiatory Light Immersions.
Each of these seven Light Immersions brings in a different ray of Divine Light/shakti to help activate a different aspect of your spiritual nature.
After the course is completed you will have access to twice monthly Light Immersions in group sessions called Light Sittings. See the section below on "Light Sittings" for more information.
The Master Course is an intermediate-level meditation course that is typically taken by those with some background with entering deep meditation/altered states of awareness (and ideally with some initial experiences of feeling energies, or inner sounds, or inner vision.)
It is often taught over ten weeks in one 1.5 hour session per week.

Mudrashram courses were created by my teacher, the founder of Mudrashram. I've included more information about him on the About page.
He designed the courses based on wisdom gained from many years of initiations, spiritual development, and transformative spiritual attainments under a variety of spiritual teachers, and also from many years of directly observing the inner world using inner vision (i.e. clairvoyance, spiritual sight, metavision).
From this crystal clear window into the spiritual layers of our being Mudrashram gained a deep understanding of things like:
-
The anatomy of our spiritual nature
-
The structure of the mind
-
The exact landscape of the inner spiritual worlds—every spiritual Realm, Plane, Subplane, and nodal point
-
The exact process of how our Souls evolve upward through every spiritual world back to the Divine Source
-
The nature of karmic material and how it appears as a dark mass of material that blocks Souls from their full potential and from the Divine Source
-
The exact inner effects of every kind of spiritual technique
-
Which spiritual techniques are most effective at transmuting karmic material and evolving the Soul into its full potential and closer to the Divine
With this direct knowledge, Mudrashram combined many of the most effective spiritual techniques into a single powerful system.

Additional Guidance for Your Stage of Spiritual Evolution
Your Stage of Spiritual Evolution is the spot where your Soul currently dwells on the Continuum of Consciousness—down to the exact Realm, Plane, Subplane, and nodal point.
Since the Continuum is such an important concept that forms the framework for our spiritual work, I will give a longer overview of this class compared to the overviews for the other nine classes further below.
The Continuum of Consciousness
The Continuum of Consciousness is the spectrum of all possible human states of consciousness, which includes all levels of the mind and all spiritual planes of Creation.
The Continuum is a complex, multi-layered phenomenon, but in some respects it is roughly analogous to a radio spectrum.
Its "stations" span from the waking state of awareness at the bottom, up through every level of the mind and every spiritual plane, all the way up to the ultimate Divine Source at the top.
Detailed Overview of the Master Course
Throughout history several portions of the Continuum have been explored & mapped by psychologists, spiritual teachers, and mystics of different traditions.
The Continuum was explored & mapped in its entirety by Mudrashram over many years of direct observation using inner vision/clairvoyance—not through theorizing or speculation.
Mudrashram's observations revealed that the Continuum of Consciousness is divided into four major bands of the mind, with many levels further contained within each band.
-
1 - Conscious Mind
-
2 - Subconscious Mind
-
3 - Metaconscious Mind
-
4 - Superconscious Mind (Spiritual Planes)
-
Realms
-
Planes
-
Subplanes
-
Nodal Points
-
We are multidimensional beings. We have have a Human Self and a Divine Self (Soul), and between them are many layers to our overall Being.
The first three bands of the mind comprise the Personal Zone of the Continuum—the zone of our human Self, which we use to function in our day-to-day life.
The fourth band of the mind comprises the Transpersonal Zone of the Continuum—the zone of our Soul and the spiritual planes, which we explore using deep meditation, mantras, deep breath-work, and other spiritual techniques and practices.
The Superconscious Mind is one term we use for the spiritual planes as a whole. This is the inner spiritual landscape that our Souls dwell in and move through on their way back to the Divine Source.
This landscape is made up of multiple spiritual Realms which are made up of Planes, which are made up of Subplanes, which are made up of nodal points (stable vibratory points that the Soul dwells in).
Every Plane and Subplane has a distinct theme which are like classes that our Souls take in the school of life.
Every nodal point has different content that the Soul experiences and integrates into its Being once it reaches that nodal point on its journey forward through the Continuum.
The Realms of the Continuum
The Realms of the Continuum that the Soul evolves through include:
-
The Subtle Realm
-
The Planetary Realm
-
The Transplanetary Realm
-
The Cosmic Realm
-
The Supracosmic Realm
-
The Transcendental Realm
A different way of referring to these levels is:
ANDA (Grand Astral Plane)
-
The Subtle Realm
-
The Planetary Realm
-
The Transplanetary Realm
-
The Cosmic Realm
BRAHMANDA (Causal-Mental Realm)
-
The Supracosmic Realm
PARABRAHMANDA (Pure Spiritual Realm)
-
The Transcendental Realm
Most spiritual traditions and religions are anchored somewhere along this Continuum or tune into it in a particular way.
The stage of spiritual evolution of most of humanity is currently in either the Subtle Realm or the Planetary Realm.
One reason people view things so differently is when their Souls dwell at different points of the Continuum, or they have each activated a spiritual essence that dwells at different points in the Continuum. The Soul's perspective often filters down into the human self to guide human life.
For example, Christians often give descriptions of the 1st Planetary Initiation, which is a set of Planes in the Planetary Realm.
On this Plane the Soul unlocks an inner center sometimes called the Christ Consciousness, and gradually learns to identify with it and commune with the Divine from this perspective (which appears as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit on this Plane). The person is inwardly guided to drawn down Light through prayer to help purify this center and move it along its evolutionary track of nodal points, up into its origin in the Heavenly Father at the top of this Plane.
The teacher Paramahansa Yogananda gave descriptions of the 1st Cosmic Initiation, which is the first Plane in the Cosmic Realm.
On this Plane the Soul unlocks an inner center called Cosmic Consciousness, and gradually learns to identify with it and commune with the Divine from this perspective (which appears as Brahman on this Plane). The person is inwardly guided to draw down Light/shakti through various Yogic techniques to help purify this center and move it along its evolutionary track of nodal points, up into its origin in Brahman at the top of this Plane.
The teacher Baba Muktananda gave descriptions of a kundalini-based Path on the Shiva Plane in the Supracosmic Realm, which is 1 out of 73 parallel Paths back to the Divine in this Realm.
On this Plane the individuals with Souls aligned with this Path (your Soul is aligned with 1 out of the 73) practice chanting and kundalini practices as they move their spiritual essence along its evolutionary track of nodal points, up into its origin at the top of this Plane.
The teacher Sant Darshan Singh (and other Sant Mat teachers) gave descriptions of the 2nd Transcendental Path in the Transcendental Realm.
On this Path of Love & Devotion in the deepest Realm of the Continuum, the individual meditates on the inner Divine Light & Sound in the channels of the Nada to move their spiritual essence forward along its evolutionary track of nadamic tones, up into its origin at the top of this Path.
Nada Yoga, which is a crucial practice for developing the spiritual heart throughout the rest of the Continuum, becomes the primary spiritual practice for moving both the Soul & spiritual heart forward at this exalted level of the Continuum.
————
There are many, many more examples of the great diversity of spiritual perspectives & practices along the Continuum.
Each level of the Continuum offers more levels to our development, and no tradition is greater than another.
Mudrashram mapped the entire Continuum and provides Soul Readings so that each individual can tell where their Soul is on the inner path, and more easily navigate their own aligned Path back to the Infinite Divine Source at the top of the Continuum.
Our tradition is unique in that we minister across the entire Continuum. We support you to make the full journey Home, moving through every stage of your Path.
Karmic Darkening of the Continuum
Every spiritual plane leading up to the Soul's current location on the Continuum is within the Soul's consciousness and is fully usable for the Soul.
Everything beyond the Soul's location is generally darkened by the Soul's unprocessed karmic material, and is therefore blocked from the Soul's consciousness.
This means all Realms, Planes, Subplanes, and Nodal Points beyond the Soul's stage of spiritual evolution are largely inaccessible & unusable for the Soul.
Returning to the analogy of the Continuum having attributes of a radio spectrum, each nodal point is kind of like a radio station—they each have their own unique vibration & content.
The nodal points beyond the Soul's location are generally unusable due to karmic obstructions. This is conveyed by the blacked out right half of this picture:
Re-Opening the Continuum through Spiritual Evolution
As the Soul processes its karma and moves forward through additional nodal points, Subplanes, Planes, and Realms, its consciousness expands to take in these additional layers of its Being.
With each nodal point re-opened the Soul re-gains a degree of:
-
Light/Energy
-
Bliss
-
Love & Virtue
-
Knowledge & Wisdom
-
Powers/Abilities
This process of unfolding into our full spiritual potential is Spiritual Evolution.
If a person is living a good, virtuous life, they will normally purify one nodal point every 12 years, as a process of gradually working through the karmic material plugging that nodal point.
In this course you will learn techniques that draw down Divine Light to help you burn up, transmute, and integrate the karmic material which is plugging up each nodal point and inner vehicle, and plugging up the channels of the Nada.
With these techniques you will be able to purify several nodal points a day.
This enables you to re-open every nodal point, Subplane, Plane, and Realm of the continuum and return to the Divine Source, at a much faster rate.
During complimentary check-ins with myself or another Mudrashram teacher you will receive followup Soul Readings to identify your new location on the Path, as you move forward as a result of practicing these techniques.
This means you won't have to guess where your Soul is located on its inner Path, you will have a way of tracking progress over time.
Mudrashram teaches students how to move their consciousness onto the spiritual planes using a deep Raja Yoga technique so they can study & know the full Continuum themselves, and also how to do this Soul reading for themselves and others as their inner vision gets rehabilitated over time.
I have placed a link to Mudrashram's map of the Continuum near the bottom of the page, in the section on "Check-Ins."
Your Divine Temple
Although the Continuum does have some characteristics of a radio spectrum, in another way it is kind of like an enormously tall Divine Temple—our Soul.
Our Temple has many floors (i.e. Subplanes), each with its own particular activity that it is designed for. As we purify each Subplane it is like decluttering/purifying another floor of this Temple, making it operational again.
Once purified & operational that level of our Being becomes a blessing to our life and the lives of others in the world.
Each level of the Continuum that we open unlocks more of our dormant spiritual potentials.
—————
The transformational techniques in this course accelerate your Soul's evolution through the Continuum, all the way into the Soul's ultimate origin—The Infinite Source.
With dedicated practice of these techniques you can complete this aspect of your core spiritual development in this very life.
Mudrashram has a number of students who have already done so.
Class 2 - Centering Techniques
You will learn several methods for centering in the Self—the integration center of the personality.
Centering brings greater stability, calm, clarity, perspective, and empowerment.
This will enable you to more effectively control your mind and take charge of your life and destiny.
Class 3 - Kundalini Yoga
You will learn to awaken your inner power of energy and awareness—the Kundalini Shakti.
You will learn about your Kundalini energy and the important role it plays in your spiritual growth.
You will be trained in a single technique—a Kundalini Mantra that safely and gently awakens your Kundalini—while receiving an initial Light Immersion that helps facilitate this process.
Breathing this mantra raises your Kundalini energy up your spine to unite with your Soul, and then brings it back down to its normal state to energize your optimal functioning in day-to-day life.
This cycling method is both gentle and effective.
It gradually awakens you to your full spiritual nature, brings deeper union with your Soul, improves awareness & functioning at each level of your mind and Superconscious Mind; provides some purification, nourishment, healing, and balancing of the inner vehicles of consciousness; and in time it generates—when combined with a deep Raja Yoga technique—various meditation states of Enlightenment.
By periodically cycling the Kundalini energy in this natural way rather than locking it in an inappropriately intensified state, this method avoids the dangers involved with some Kundalini awakening methods being used today.
Unfortunately, some Kundalini awakening methods (e.g. certain kinds of Shaktipat) can be harmful in their forcefulness or because they are inappropriate for the stage of spiritual evolution of the seeker who uses them.
Those methods can sometimes produce harmful effects like being perpetually locked in an altered state of consciousness, derealization, depersonalization, hallucinations, flooding with disturbing unconscious material, gradual shutdown in reality testing, distorted beliefs, overstimulation and issues with the nervous system, and impaired personality functioning.
In contrast, the Kundalini meditation you will be taught raises the Kundalini energy in exact alignment with your stage of spiritual evolution.
It gently cycles this Mighty Shakti power up to the optimal intensity/voltage to do its work in you without harming you.
This contributes to a harmonious, integrated relationship between your human side and your spiritual side.
By allowing the natural ebb & flow of your energy into the most appropriate side in any given moment, it honors the healthy functioning of both.
This Kundalini Yoga technique should be practiced at least once monthly, but no more than once weekly. It should be used conservatively, to maintain an optimal energy flow.
You will receive the first Light Immersion, the Kundalini mudra.
Kundalini Mudra
Class 4 - Nada Yoga
Nada Yoga is a mystic path of Love and Devotion which awakens and develops your spiritual heart (i.e. your Soul’s heart center, your spirit, your Hridaya).
The term Nada Yoga means "Union through Sound/Vibration."
True Nada Yoga is an essential practice of spiritual purification that reunites your spiritual heart with the Divine.
While there are several types of Nada that one can meditate upon, our meditation is upon the True Nada.
Types of Nada:
External Nada/Natural Nada
The subtle sounds emanating from nature, such as the earth, the planets etc.
Vehicular Nada
The subtle sounds emanating from the inner vehicles of our human Self, such as our etheric body, our emotional body, our mental body, our chakras etc.
Transpersonal Nada
The subtle sounds emanating from our Soul and our higher vehicles, heard in deep meditation and also for some as a sound above the right ear while in the waking state.
True Nada/Path Nada
The subtle sounds emanating within the inner channels of Divine Light & Sound, which originate in the Divine Source and span down through every Plane of Creation and into our Soul’s heart center.
These Nadamic channels are roughly analogous to a vast circulatory system spanning through every Plane of Creation, connecting every Soul's heart center to the Heart of the Divine.
These heart channels become blocked by dense karmic accretions, which are purified through true Nada Yoga.
True Nada Yoga is re-opening your Soul's heart channels of Divine Light & Sound, by focusing your attention upon your spirit so it can clear them as it moves through them and reunites with the Divine.
"Soul's Journey" by Rassouli
—————
Your spiritual heart—your spirit—is a conscious, radiant essence of love that dwells within your Soul's heart center.
Every Soul's heart center is connected to the Divine Source through energy channels called the Nada.
"Love is the bridge between you and everything."
-Rumi (Mystic Poet)
These heart channels contain a river of Divine Light and Sound, and mystics of many spiritual traditions have tapped into them through various practices (e.g. Surat Shabd Yoga)
Each person's harmful thoughts, words, and deeds in previous lifetimes have blocked up much of their heart channels with dense karmic accretions (i.e. sinchit karma, sins).
These blockages separate your spiritual heart/spirit from the Divine.
In this class you will learn a meditation to focus your attention upon your loving spirit and free it to travel through these heart channels toward the Divine, which draws down Divine Light to help purify the karmic accretions plugging them.
"This is Love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First, to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet."
-Rumi (Mystic Poet)
Purifying these heart channels develops the inner qualities of spirituality and the inner virtues of love.
It causes the blooming of spiritual devotion into its physical, emotional, mental, volitional, and spiritual expressions, which is unique for each person.
This spiritual purification gradually increases qualities like love & devotion for the Divine (Bhakti), virtue, holiness, purity, integrity, compassion, forgiveness, faith, mercy, simplicity, humility, selflessness, spiritual wisdom, detachment from the world, longing for spiritual progress and union with the Divine, desire to lovingly serve the Divine and humanity (Karma Yoga), and other beautiful qualities of the loving spirit.
"The Light and Sound open the doorway of Love.
Love is the doorway to spiritual freedom."
-Harold Klemp (Nadamic Master)
A high level of skill & inner sensitivity in Nada Yoga brings access to indescribably beautiful experiences in meditation.
These include meditation states of spiritual love, sweetness, and bliss; hearing the otherworldly beautiful sounds of the Divine Sound Current; seeing countless worlds of Light within; and—at the deepest levels of absorption—meditation states of thrilling spiritual ecstasy (i.e. Divine Intoxication, Raptures, Religious Ecstasy) which the spiritual heart feels as it moves ever-closer to the Divine Source in the channels of the Nada.
However, these meditation states of pleasant phenomena are not essential to do the work and to increase the spiritual qualities listed above. It is also not necessary to attain inner vision or inner hearing in order to do the work.
Simply focusing on your spiritual heart/spirit in this Nada Yoga practice and allowing it to clear the heart channels is enough to complete the work (i.e. giving your heart back to the Divine).
Through the spiritual heart's innate desire for union with the Divine, and the assistance of Grace, it moves through the Nadamic channels and burns through every old desire-laden impression (i.e. sinchit karma, sin) blocking it from this.
"I once had a thousand desires, but in my one desire to know you, all else melted away."
-Rumi (Mystic Poet)
You will receive assistance through Light Immersion to help in this process of spiritual purification. It is a balance of Grace & Effort.
In some spiritual traditions a small portion of these heart channels may be purified on the individual's behalf as an act of Grace alone, but this moves the spiritual heart forward just a couple steps on the Path, and still leaves many more future lives of purification.
Consciously participating in this purification through Nada Yoga accelerates the purification process exponentially. This makes it possible to rapidly complete many lifetimes worth of purification. With dedication to this practice your heart channels can be completely purified in one life.
As the spiritual heart progresses on this path it grows ever more radiant, loving, devoted, pure, virtuous, sweet, and beautiful.
"Beauty is not in the face.
Beauty is a light in the heart."
-Kahlil Gibran (Mystic Poet)
At the highest stages the spiritual heart becomes a mighty force field of Divine Love, radiating Love that continually blesses the world.
"I have only Love to give, and all I want is Love.
I am the Ocean of Love."
-Meher Baba (Nadamic Master)
When the heart channels have been completely purified of karmic accretions the spiritual heart merges back into eternal union with its Source—the Divine Beloved. At this stage we say the spiritual heart has reached salvation.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
-Matthew 5:8
Other spiritual traditions that work on this aspect of spiritual purification support you to purify up to one domain of the heart channels—the domain within that tradition's zone of the Continuum.
As a unique tradition that ministers across the entire Continuum we can support you in the complete work of purifying all twelve domains.
You will receive the second Light Immersion, the Nada Mudra.

Every person's spiritual journey is unique, and the journey is gradual. Not all will go deep enough into Nada Yoga skills to consciously experience the esoteric truths within all the quotes listed here, and some of these truths can take years to reveal themselves.
In addition, most people need significant rehabilitation of their inner senses to have the full sensory & feeling experience of Nada Yoga.
However, simply doing the practice, regardless of how deep your meditation is in sensory detail or feeling, is enough to complete the spiritual purification that brings the spiritual benefits.
Class 5 - Invocational Methods
You will explore seven key methods for accessing and using your subconscious, unconscious, and Superconscious mind more effectively:
-
Autosuggestion
-
Process Meditation
-
Affirmation
-
Prayer
-
Intoning
-
Chanting
-
Opening into the Unconscious Mind
This will assist you in areas such as initiating behavior change, releasing emotionally charged issues, changing limiting beliefs, manifesting your intentions, invoking Divine Grace and Blessings, and accessing and better controlling the unconscious mind.
When used diligently these techniques bring greater growth, healing, success, self-mastery, connection to the Divine and the spiritual realms, and fulfillment of your potential.
Class 5 - Mantra Yoga
You will be given a sacred mantra that draws down Divine Light to transmute karma and transform your Soul, moving it forward into greater union with the Divine Source.
Your Soul is a conscious, radiant essence of Divinity that dwells on the spiritual planes and is energetically linked with your human Self, through which it gains life experiences and grows.
Over many lifetimes the Soul accumulates a residue of past experiences (karmic material) which begins to plug up the unconscious mind and the nodal points in each of the Subplanes, Planes, and Realms, which blocks them from the Soul's consciousness.
This material needs to be processed and integrated in order for the Soul to unlock these nodal points and reopen each Subplane, Plane, Realm, and return to the Divine Source. Normally this processing is very gradual and takes many lifetimes.
This mantra focalizes the Light Fire of the Spirit to burn up, transmute, and integrate the dark mass of karmic material surrounding the Soul and blocking it from moving forward.
This accelerates the Soul's growth process considerably.
When sufficient karma has been removed the Soul’s Light expands as it is initiated into the next step on its Path of spiritual evolution through the Continuum—the next nodal point.
With each step forward the Soul unfolds into its true Divine potential.
It evolves from a Divine Spark into a Divine Sun of ever-increasing magnitude.
It grows extraordinarily strong in Light, Love & Virtue, Knowledge & Wisdom, and Powers/Abilities, and over time it learns to use these gifts in loving service to all life.
At the highest stage of the Path, when all karmic material on its evolutionary track has been completed, the Soul merges into a stage of Infinite Light—the Divine Source. At this stage we say the Soul has reached Liberation.
In this class you will learn about several types of mantras, various methods for activating mantras, and the different effects that come from each method.
The transformational mantra you will be initiated into is activated in a different way than most mantras, through a particular method using intention.
The meditator sends the mantra's syllables up along a beam of intention to strike the mantra's vibrational seed.
This brilliant seed is eternally resonating in the highest spiritual realm...which is a tiny bit higher than this picture can show :)
This activates the mantra, drawing down Divine Light from that spiritual realm to transform your Soul.
Mudrashram used inner vision/clairvoyance to methodically study the exact inner effects of every mantra, including the most transformational class of mantras found at every level of the Continuum—bija mantras (seed mantras).
They identified the Primal Bija Mantra found on the highest Realm of the Continuum as the single most powerful mantra at drawing down Divine Light Fire to purify and transform the Soul and all of its vehicles and chakras.
Dedicated use of this mantra transforms the Soul forward through every nodal point, Subplane, Plane, and Realm of the Continuum, into stages of Liberation and Mastery.
This is the mantra you are initiated into during this class.
This mantra cannot not be found in any book or online in any list, as it is an individualized mantra that is attuned to your spiritual vibration. It is completely unique for each person—no two people on Earth share the same mantra of this kind.
It is your personal transformational mantra, which we call your T-Mantra.
This avoids the risks of using certain bija mantras or kriyas that may be inappropriate to your stage of spiritual evolution, which over the long-term can produce energetic imbalances and disrupted personality functioning. Kriya Yoga techniques (specialized breathing techniques coordinated with the cerebrospinal axis in certain higher vehicles) are taught in the Mudrashram Advanced Course in Meditation, along with guidance about which stages of the Path they might sometimes alternately be used for.
This unique bija mantra is effective at every stage of the Path, including the stages where certain kriyas may be alternately used in other traditions (e.g. to unfold Cosmic Consciousness in the first Plane of the Cosmic Realm).
In general, it takes around 108 correctly executed repetitions of this mantra to draw down enough Divine Light to purify 1 nodal point, but the exact number of repetitions depends on the density of your karmic accretions in that zone of the Continuum.
In some spiritual traditions a small portion of this dark mass of karma surrounding the Soul may be purified on the individual's behalf as an act of Grace alone, but this moves the Soul forward just a couple steps on the Path, and still leaves many more future lives of purification and spiritual evolution.
Consciously participating in this purification through Mantra Yoga accelerates the spiritual evolutionary process exponentially. This makes it possible to complete many lifetimes worth of karmic purification and spiritual growth in a single life. With dedication to this mantra the Soul can evolve to Liberation and Mastery in a single life.
By receiving this mantra—a master key to spiritual evolution—you are empowered to self-initiate and to make unlimited spiritual progress.
Most importantly, this will accelerate your Soul's growth into its full capacity for loving service to all beings.
In The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ, Levi envisions Jesus initiating his disciples by such a transformational mantra: "And then the twelve disciples heard a voice, a still, small voice, and just one word was said, a word they dared not speak; it was the Sacred Name of God."
You will receive the third Light Immersion, the Mantra Mudra.

Class 6 - Raja Yoga
In Raja Yoga you will be shown how to control your attention and transfer your consciousness upwards from the waking state onto the spiritual planes and into union with your Soul.
You will learn about the threefold process of Raja Yoga:
-
Concentration (Dharana)
-
Contemplation (Dhyana)
-
Absorption (Samadhi)
You will learn about what we call your attentional principle, which is the radiant essence of consciousness that dwells within your head and enables you to witness your human life.
This essence is sometimes referred to as the third eye, or the inner eye.
You will learn how to unite your attention with this light of consciousness and move it beyond the body-focus, onto the inner spiritual planes/continuum.
This enables you to travel through the inner worlds, variously called "The Spiritual Planes," "The Inner Planes," "The Great Continuum of Consciousness," the "Spirit World," the "Superconscious Mind," and "The Kingdom of Heaven Within."
Although your meditations will likely start with limited visibility, dedication to this practice will gradually rehabilitate your inner senses (i.e. opening your third eye, clairvoyance, metavision). At the highest levels of development the inner worlds become crystal clear to the meditator.
Raja Yoga empowers you to be able to shift your attention to any point of the Continuum of Consciousness at will—like turning a radio tuner dial to shift to any station at will.
Through mastery of this practice you can directly observe every Realm, Plane, Subplane, and nodal point in all of Creation.
It gives you the ability to move your attention up into the Presence of your Soul and the Presence of the Divine, so you may directly behold the Divine in all of its many, many diverse forms anchored along the Continuum.
Once your inner senses are rehabilitated Raja Yoga can be used to visually inspect the inner effects of Mantra Yoga and Nada Yoga, so that you can directly verify for yourself that your Soul and spiritual heart are making spiritual progress.
Raja Yoga is an important skill for inner ministry—receiving a ray of Divine Light into your attentional principle, and transmitting that Light to Souls in need.
In addition, with the highest dedication to Raja Yoga you will be able to completely absorb your attention & energy into the Divine Spark in the core of your Soul.
This will—when simultaneously raising your Kundalini energy up your spine and into the core of your Soul—generate ecstatic states of Samadhi, Gnosis, and Enlightenment.
You will receive the fourth Light Immersion, the Raja mudra.
Raja Mudra
Class 7 - Guru Kripa Yoga
In our tradition Guru Kripa Yoga is Light Immersion.
It is Divine Light lovingly descending on your Soul to Initiate you—to accelerate your spiritual evolution.
Guru Kripa Yoga anchors five different Rays of Divine Light within the Soul, and balances the four poles of Being.
In our tradition this occurs during twice monthly group Light Sittings, and at other times as well.
The spiritual journey is a balance of Grace & Effort.
Much of the work is through personal effort in daily spiritual practice (sadhana). This course equips you with tools that amplify the effectiveness of your spiritual efforts.
Part of the work is through Grace. This is where the Divine channels Light Ministry through the network of initiating teachers in every living spiritual tradition to assist in developing the Souls within that mantle of ministry.
In this class you will learn what Initiation is, how an Empowered Initiate works with your Soul, the three phases of Integral Meditation (Development, Empowerment, Service), the stages of spiritual growth (Neophyte, Aspirant, Disciple, Initiate), your Soul Purpose, and the Mudrashram perspective on the Divine Will.
You will receive the fifth Light Immersion, the Guru Kripa Mudra.
Guru Kripa Mudra
Class 8 - Jnana Yoga
Jnana Yoga activates the intuitional connection between the Soul and the human Self, so that the Soul's Wisdom (i.e. Illumined Mind, Buddhi) can better teach and guide the Self.
In this Yoga you will learn a series of reflective and receptive meditation techniques to access this intuitive aspect of your Superconscious Mind.
Activating this Illumination will provide guidance for your life and decisions, clearer understanding of spiritual ideas, and insight into your Soul's essential nature.
You will receive the sixth Light Immersion, the Jnana Mudra.
Jnana Mudra
Class 9 - Agni Yoga
Agni Yoga activates the energetic connection between the Soul and the physical body so that the Soul's Light and Fire can increasingly turn the body into an instrument of the Soul, and of the Divine.
In this Yoga you will learn to bring down Divine Light Fire from the Soul or the Divine into the physical body and higher vehicles by invocation and visualization.
This helps you to energize and heal the body, to work with issues in the unconscious mind and transform them using the Rainbow technique, and to empower the Soul to express more freely through each of its vehicles.
You will receive the seventh Light Immersion, the Agni Mudra.
Agni Mudra
Class 10 - Dharma Yoga
Dharma Yoga is about living in harmony with your Soul's realized truths—your Dharma—in every day life.
Dharma means the internal Law, the truths of your inner Being. When you act according to your Dharma, you experience integrity.
You will learn techniques to help you get in touch with your inner sense of truth, gain insight into what constitutes integrity and right action for you, and gain greater acceptance of who you are in your totality.
When you can live your values and put your realizations into practice, your spirituality can be expressed in your life.
The Teacher for this Course
This course will be taught by me, Brandon, meditation teacher and founder of Divine Light Meditation Training.
It will be held virtually over Zoom, or optionally, in-person (if you live locally in Wisconsin).
Light Immersion functions exactly the same whether done in person, or by distance.
The Master Course itself and all Mudrashram courses were developed by my teacher George A. Boyd, the founder and head meditation teacher of Mudrashram.
Light Sittings
As a benefit of taking the course you gain access to twice monthly Light Sittings. Light Sittings are free of charge.
These are held online every 2nd & 4th Sunday of the month at 11:30am Central time by my teacher George Boyd, the founder of Mudrashram. I will hold Light Sittings at other times as well.
Light Sittings are downpours of Divine Light that minister to us on all levels as we sit silently and receive.
These immersions in the Light Fire of Spirit gradually transform us and move us closer to the Divine Source.
Bit-by-bit each Light Sitting brings a degree of illumination, inner teaching, guidance, love, comfort, nourishment, purification, transmutation, sanctification, healing, blessing, awakening, inspiration, recharging, alignment, empowerment, and transformation, and these subtle positive effects begin to accumulate over the course of regular Light Sittings.
Light Sittings are a sacred crucible, and an ancient form of spiritual development.
They are gentle but powerful over the long-term.
The effects gradually emerge after the Light Sitting as the spiritual energy continues to do its work in us. Having ample meditation time every day amplifies the effects and gets the most value out of each Light Sitting.
Light Sittings function differently than other forms of energy work (e.g. Reiki), which often minister a healing ray to the physical-etheric body but aren't necessarily intended to focus on the other aspects of our being.
They also function differently than the ministry of Light that comes down as a response to prayer, in a church service, from a mantra, or from a shaktipat (which typically sends Light/shakti to awaken the kundalini in one of a variety of possible ways).
Light Sittings are more comprehensive, drawing down many different rays of Divine Light and ministering to us on all levels in a single sitting, including:
-
Soul - at each octave of our Being
-
spirit (spiritual heart)
-
Inner vehicles of consciousness
-
Inner channel of our Kundalini energy
-
Attentional principle (consciousness)
-
All aspects of the Human Self, including
-
Integration centers (Self & Ego)
-
Will/Volitional center
-
Mental body
-
Emotional body
-
Etheric body
-
Physical body
-
"Aspects of the Light
This Ray of Transmuting Fire appears to us in meditation in several ways:
Light – we visually perceive this energy coming into us in meditation as an influx of brilliant white light. At times, this white fire will break into scintillating beams of colored light, and our inner vision is flooded with radiant, pastel hues.
Life – this powerful energy is vibrant with atoms of life force, or lifetrons. Meditators who receive this Light report accelerated healing from imbibing this elixir of living fire.
Love – the Light conveys the omnific force of Divine Love, bathing us and infilling us with the gracious unction of the Holy Spirit.
Wisdom – the thought force of the Illumined Mind, or Buddhi, floods our inner vehicles with intuitive knowledge, a downpour of ideas and inspirations. We are led to discern our spiritual essence and to realize our Soul.
Purification – the Fire of the Spirit transmutes karma, burning it out of our vehicles and cleansing the vaults of the unconscious mind.
Initiation – the Spirit unfolds the spiritual potentials of the meditator’s ensouling entity [Soul], opens the path of the spirit, and attunes the inner vehicles to a new vibratory state.
Empowerment – the Master sends an attunement, a ray of the Light to the attentional principle of others. They in turn minister this Light to others."
From the Mudrashram article on Light Sittings
The Main Light Sittings Held By George Include:
-
Light Immersion – You receive the Light
-
Light Ministry – You are attuned with a beam of the Light and you radiate this Light to others in need
-
Anchoring – Anchoring of creative seeds in the Superconscious mind through silent prayers, affirmations, and resolutions
-
Satsang – Inspired teachings given by the Supervising Initiate
Check-Ins
As a benefit of taking the course active students gain access to regular check-ins over video call with George Boyd or Brandon.
These check-ins are free of charge. Donations are welcome, according to your means and what you feel called to donate.
Serious students are encouraged to schedule check-ins every four to six weeks.
Here George or Brandon will answer your questions and will use inner vision to assess where your Soul is on the Path (which nodal point in which Plane & Subplane) and where your spirit is on the Path (which nadamic tone), and give personalized guidance for that stage of the Path.

Guidelines for Use of Techniques in Integral Meditation
This integral meditation system aims for balanced spiritual development on all Four Poles of Being, in contrast to unitive systems which tend to produce imbalanced spiritual development (e.g. only doing Mantra Yoga, or only Nada Yoga, or only Jnana Yoga).
To develop in a balanced way requires multiple tools. Each tool has a unique value in developing this Divine Temple—your Soul.
Modern life is busy for many, but the core daily spiritual work of this system can be done within a reasonable time commitment.
The four core meditation practices in our tradition are:
1 - Raja Yoga
2 - Mantra Yoga
3 - Nada Yoga
4 - Kundalini Yoga
At the end of the course participants will receive a guided meditation recording that combines the daily practice for Raja Yoga, Mantra Yoga, and Nada Yoga.
This 20 minute guided meditation recording:
1 - Guides you up to your Soul using Raja Yoga
2 - Guides you to do your T-Mantra to transmute karma layered behind your Soul
3 - Guides you to do Nada Yoga to transmute karma layered behind your spiritual heart/spirit
4 - Guides you back down to the ground state of awareness
This is the core daily spiritual work in Mudrashram for systematically processing karma, one step at a time, to accelerate spiritual evolution.
Additional optional aspects of spiritual development in this system require additional tasks and longer meditations, but this guided meditation is the bare minimum core spiritual work for moving the Soul forward to the next nodal point, and moving the spirit forward to the corresponding nadamic tone.
Similar to how the Soul moves forward on a track of nodal points, the spirit moves forward on a track of Nadamic tones within the channels of the Nada. Each nodal point has a corresponding Nadamic tone.
Our system allows you to move your Soul & spirit forward on the Path in alignment, to avoid spiritual imbalances.
——-
This Kundalini Yoga technique should be practiced at least once monthly, but no more than once weekly. It should be used conservatively.
The remaining aspects of this meditation system–Centering techniques, Invocational Methods, Jnana Yoga, Agni Yoga, and Dharma Yoga–can be used often as needed.
Guru Kripa Yoga is received during twice monthly Light Sittings.
——-
Students in our tradition are encouraged to practice Hatha Yoga, especially as a means of improving health, self-mastery, and preparing the physical-etheric body for deeper experiences at certain stages of spiritual evolution (e.g. the 1st Cosmic Initiation in the Cosmic Realm).
——
As students move their Soul forward into new zones of the continuum we give them written & verbal guidance on the specific spiritual traditions & practices associated with that stage of the continuum.
Students are encouraged to follow their intuition in exploring these teachings & practices, while also maintaining commitment to their overarching spiritual journey to progress through every stage of the continuum in this life and return to the Divine Source.
Cost
These courses are taught as a pure, loving service to help in the student's spiritual & personal growth.
However, for several reasons there is a reasonable cost associated with taking them.
In a practical sense, charging for the time to render these services assists Divine Light Meditation Training and Mudrashram in operating financially and delivering these courses to students.
In addition, experience has shown that when a student is at least a little financially invested in their spiritual education it activates greater commitment.
It helps the student to appreciate the value of the course (although the true value of the course is priceless), at least enough to follow through on completing it and using the tools. 🙏🏼
