Wisdom Emptiness and Lightbody:
Two Lanes of Amrita Mandala Practice
(from email)
Q: I wanted to ask you about Amrita Sundari practice. Can it be practiced in the beginning stages of Amrita practice when one doesn't have many bhumis open/perfected? Would it be beneficial if practice alongside Rainbow Body Yoga (RBY)? I have a lot of tension/emotional numbness going on and looking for a remedy. RBY kind of helps, but in a way of detaching me from it.
-The info on the website is waiting to be updated about this. As you probably have heard from my presentations, in Amrita Mandala we have two "lanes" of practice that correspond to two different subtle bodies, one made of (1) nadis and chakras and the other made of (2) meridians. The first one is the ground of realization for wisdom emptiness and is accomplished with Rainbow Body Yoga. Along the way, one's progress is/can be measured with the 13 Bhumi Model. The second lane is the practice that heals traumas or like you say tension and emotional numbness, that along with other practices is made to happen by Amrita Sundari practice. In the bigger picture, the second lane practice not only heals traumas but causes the lightbody, also known as rainbow body, to come about. So we have different practices for each of the subtle bodies that both are needed for full and complete enlightenment where wisdom emptiness and purified meridian system that connects the mind with the physical body join as one.
These two lanes and their practices are not mutually exclusive and can therefoe be practiced at the same time, i.e. on daily/regular basis. There is no problem with this but of course how one goes about it in practical terms depends on the time available for practice and rest. f you feel like you'd like/need to work on your emotional numbness and you already have received Amrita Sundari empowerment and instructions, by all means focus on that until you feel like it's time to give more attention to birthing wisdom emptiness through the process of opening and perfecting the bhumis.
