    Six Yogas of Niguma Practice Outline Sheet

    Week 10

    Preparation for Vajrayana practice


    ● Refuge
    ● Bodhicitta
    ● Emptiness Meditation

    Chakrasamvara Sadhana (A Brief Meditation and Recitation focussing


    on the Wheel of Bliss)
    ● Request to the Lineage Gurus
    ● Going for Refuge and Generating Bodhicitta (Tantric Refuge &
    Bodhicitta)
    ● Self-Generation (+ blessing Vajra & Bell)
    ● Transforming the Clear Light of Death into Dharmakaya
    ● Transforming Bardo into Sambhogakaya
    ● Transforming Rebirth into Nirmanakaya
    ● The Mantra Recitation

    After the Mantra recitation and dissolution of the Mandala we reappear as


    Chakrasamvara and then do the Guru Yoga for the Six Yogas of Niguma
    and the Ah purification practice.

    Then we transform into solitary Vajrayogini and continue as follows:

    We sit in the Six Point Fire posture.


    1. Legs crossed
    2. Hands formed into flames on one’s knees.
    3. Back (spine straight)
    4. Shoulders spread like a vulture’s wings (shoulders gently pulled back)
    5. Head, Mouth and Neck (chin slightly lowered and back and the tip of the tongue is
    touching the palate)
    6. Eyes (gazing past the tip of the nose)

    In the Fire Posture we do the following breathing practices/ Yantras:

    ● The 9-round breathing


    ● Fire breathing
    ● Loong-selwa (= deep breath hold)
    ● Vase Breathing

    Then: Empty Body Meditation

    After the Empty Body meditation we proceed to the general Tummo


    practices of Niguma:

    ● Four flames
    ● Dharmadayo & Ram practice

    The Specific Tummo from the Six Yogas of Niguma

    After meditating on the Empty Body we continue as follows:

    We meditate on the three channels: the blue central channel as well as the
    red right and white left side channels.

    Then we meditate on the chakras (traveling with our awareness through the
    body): we have a white heart chakra with eight branch channels which are
    facing downward, a red throat chakra with 16 branch channels which are
    facing upward, a white (slightly rainbow colored) crown chakra with 32
    branch channels that are facing downward, and a red navel chakra with 64
    branch channels that are facing upward.
    Within the navel chakra is a sun disc and on top of the sun disc is the red
    Ah Tung, super hot, blissful and nondual in its essence.

    Within the crown chakra on a moon disc is the white syllable Ham, hanging
    upside down.

    We place our mind on the white syllable Ham, we become the white
    syllable Ham. Then our awareness travels to the throat chakra and we rest
    in the throat chakra, then the heart, and finally our consciousness goes all
    the way into the navel chakra, where we are becoming the Ah Tung on the
    sun disc. We rest as the Ah tung on the sun disc for the majority of practice.

    (If we like we can travel all for chakras up again and back down again and
    repeat this cycle multiple times.)
