The Buddha said, “that which is born, must die”. Death is inevitable. Death is the most certain event that will occur in our lives. Whether death will be the crowning glory of your life or an event to be lamented, will depend on how well you are prepared to meet death when it arrives.
You might be thinking that death is a finality, and the manner in which one dies does not matter. This is grave ignorance. Death is a transition, from one plane of existence to another. And the way one dies will determine the next course of events, which can be an elevated state of existence, or rather mediocre.
The workshop explains the processes one goes through as they approach the moment of death, what happens to the body and soul as the person is dying, and the stages the soul passes through once it has left the body.
This course offers precise instructions for you to identify and recognize the process of death, to eliminate misunderstandings and fears, and to learn yogic methods to prepare for death so that you may embrace death wisely, as well as know-how to support someone else through this process.
Take note, that this is an intensive workshop with plenty of lectures, keeping with the oral tradition of spiritual transmissions. The lectures will be complemented with different styles of meditations, and sessions of Q & A.
