PROGRAM
“Inquiry into dreams and sleep and our experience during or around these
states can help to clarify some of our problems.” (1.38)
Patanjali’s sutras are meant to guide yoga practice. Sutra 1.38 specifically mentions the exploration of dreams as key to learning more about yourself and, therefore, to the practice of yoga.
Broadly speaking, dreams are stories emerging from the dreamscape of our inner wisdom. They come to us as night dreams, waking visions and/or intuitions. Messages from these imaginal states are expressed in a distinctive language: images, metaphors, archetypes, shapes, colors, sounds, emotions, as well as synchronicities.
Dictionaries define dreams as a doorway, a threshold,
or a bridge providing access to information of a specific kind.
A critical compass to locate messages in the dream process is the body. The ancient practice of yoga nidra assists in deep relaxation so we can feel our body’s interaction. Taken together, the patterns and themes from the dreamscape are part of one, wholistic experience conveyed by our inner wisdom.
This program includes the participation in Dream Circle, a private, non-therapeutic group. The program’s Dream Circle presents a safe, supportive deep listening approach to shared dreams. Like the focus on breathing and the inner alignment of hatha yoga, dreams offer us a way to foster wakefulness.
