Entering the Heart of Shiva (EHS) is the foundational course of study in
Blue Throat Yoga. It invites students into a profound process of understanding the deeper elements of Sādhanā, or spiritual practice, through the study of the ancient, time-honored texts, practices, and teachings of the non-dual Śākta-Śaiva Tantric tradition. This transformational course is designed to enliven and uplift your experience of life from the inside out
The new format of EHS makes it more accessible to students all over the world. EHS now consists of three shorter courses, each organized around a broad theme:
• The Light of the Heart
• The Language of the Heart
• The Wisdom of the Heart
Students can register for any of the courses in any order, or can take any one as a stand-alone course. However, students must complete all three to qualify for advanced course enrollment with Blue Throat Yoga. Students who complete all three courses will receive a powerful introduction to the key elements of the liberative Śākta-Śaiva intellectual tradition.
This subcourse offered by Sara and Eliot, is Language of the Heart. The Heart as Ultimate Consciousness is the pulsational source of all sound and language. It is in the void-depth of the heart that the utterance of potential sound arises, which develops into the emanational unfolding of all sounds, all phonemes, all words and narratives of all possible realities. Absolute Consciousness speaks in particular ways to become form and in subtle ways to reveal its free formless Self back to itself.
During this course, we learn about the Śākta-Śaiva distinctions between āgama, the divine revelatory scriptures that were written down, and śastra, systems of organized wisdom and knowledge that have been developed by great masters to transmit the teachings and practices of highest wisdom. We explore how the Language of the Heart is explained in the revealed text called the Śiva Sūtras and other important texts, such as Kṣemarāja's Pratyabhijñāna-hṛdayam, And Abhinavagupta's Tantrasāra and Tantrāloka.
Most importantly, the studies and practices in "EHS - Language of the Heart," serve to guide us to locate our own wisdom voice from the deepest layers of the Self.
