Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga – Awaken the Visionary Leader Within!

Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga – Awaken the Visionary Leader Within!
By Jan Robinson, M.A.

You may breathe a sigh of relief to hear there is no need to wait until the next election to choose a new great leader. For that leader is within. It is that bright light inside, the magnificence of our Divinity that has always already been there, waiting to be recognized so it can take lead in our life with its inherent wisdom, clarity, and love. 

This culture teaches us to look at those outside of ourselves, figures such as our teachers, parents, priests, politicians, and partners, as the influential forces that shape our lives and destinies. We complain when they make mistakes or fall out of integrity; we blame them for having hurt us in some way. We could go on our entire lives this way, blaming, complaining, judging, criticizing “the way things are,” feeling powerless, as if life were doing itself to us. We get stuck in a perspective of victim rather than seeing ourselves as amazing creators of our own reality.

We are so much more powerful than our egos lead us to believe! Osho, a modern tantra master, said that you are already enlightened, pretending not to be. In other words, the limits that we experience - self-doubt, inadequacy, judgment, separation, fear, lack – are not who we are at our essence. On some fundamental level we know this. We all have an intuitive sense about who we really are, what our lives could become, how our world could be. We can see it, imagine it. This is our natural vision. It comes from within. We can cultivate that inherent capacity for clear vision, free from limits and obscurations, to see (and know deep within our body) who we really are, what our truth is, our higher purpose, what we came here to learn and accomplish this lifetime.

To awaken the visionary within and to courageously hold to our inner vision even when society goes a different way, we need tools. Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga is a spiritual system that provides powerful tools for transformation to accelerate our growing awareness. Cobra Breath, an ancient breath practice, long held secret because of its great power, is the cornerstone in the technology of Ipsalu Tantra. This technique transmutes sexual energy, pulling it up the spine into the energy centers of the brain. It awakens spiritual vision.

With the ability to clearly witness thoughts, feelings, and sensations from a neutral, benevolent perspective, as one experiences them fully and consciously, we can begin to disengage from the self-defeating patterns and limited beliefs that hold us back. As we begin to see through the illusions of ego, for example, that outside is different from inside, we learn to recognize how external events mirror internal processes. Ipsalu Tantra provides a paradigm, a way of looking at life and being in the world that allows for dramatic changes within. Change our consciousness and we change our world!

Never perhaps has there been a time when our awakening as human beings has been so crucial. In the growing wave of expanding consciousness now happening on the planet, a critical mass of awakened individuals may be all it takes to change the course of history, bringing about the kind of world we, in our hearts and souls, desire and envision. That vision is essential. With awakened vision, we see choices and recognize perspectives never before available. It is what we need on our spiritual path to guide the transformation of ourselves and the planet beyond what is now to what is ultimately possible. It is fully within our power to become the real visionary leaders of the world, illuminating the way through the shining light of our radiant being, in a revolution of expanding consciousness.
