What the Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice is all about

Karma is the energy that underlies all actions. It’s those invisible patterns that play out over and over again despite our conscious desire to do something different. Ancestral Karma is carried forth through the familial lines, and can be burned up through this particular Tantrik Yoga practice. This online Immersion is designed to provide a supportive, loving and accountable environment to do this work with more ease and joy.

While karma and trauma are not exactly the same thing, they are interlinked. The emerging field of Epigenetics is now scientifically backing up what the yogis knew thousands of years ago. When a person experiences trauma, it changes their gene expression, and that is passed down to the children, and children’s children. Whilst it might sound fanciful to us, the yogis discovered that mantra ‘eats’ karma. That is, with correct focus, intention and attention, the use of specific sounds can impact the energetic body, which then impacts the mental/emotional and physical body.

The Tantrik tradition says that glimpses of one’s true nature (awareness) will start unfolding for a student after 6 months to 3 years of dedicated practice and aligned View teachings. The reason for that time span – 6 months to 3 years – depends on the intensity of the ancestral karma that a student is carrying. Tantra lineages developed practices to support the dissolving of this karma to make it easier for students to awaken to their true nature. We’ll be learning one of those practices on this Immersion, plus other Tantrik practices to support this process.

What’s Involved in the Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice Online Immersion

This will be a practice-focused Immersion. We’ll learn a specific ancestral karma dissolving practice and do this on each weekly webinar, plus all students will be required to do this practice every day for the length of the Immersion (forty days). We will work up to 108 rounds of this practice on the final webinar. Students are welcome to continue with the practice after the Forty Days (and Immersion) has completed. Access to the Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice Community will continue indefinitely.

We’ll also work with other complementary practices that strengthen the energy body, and invite the dissolving of trauma within the body.

There will also be related View Teachings, in the Tantrik tradition, that support students to approach their practice in the most beneficial way possible.

Numbers will be limited to ensure that every student can be seen and held in their process. There will be time on each webinar for every student to check in and share where they are at in their process and what is coming up.

Practices will include prostrations, mantra, meditation, pranayama and visualization. The Immersion will be hosted on The Tantrika’s Toolbox, Kara-Leah’s learning platform. Students will have indefinite access to all the learning materials shared via this platform.

Who is the Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice Online Immersion for?

This Immersion is suitable for anyone on the spiritual path who is interested in using practice to dissolve karma (trauma) and conditioning. Participants are required to do a Forty Day practice during the Immersion, so some experience in committing to daily practice is beneficial, but not necessary. You will be supported in maintaining this daily commitment, no matter what is going on in your life! The curiosity, commitment and desire to explore and show up to the practice is what is most important.

It’s particularly useful for those who have been walking the spiritual path for awhile, but feel stuck. It’s also useful for those who know they are carrying a lot of heavy family karma (intergenerational trauma).
