Neelakantha Meditation

In 1979, I met the great siddha master, Swami Muktananda, and started to practice Siddha Yoga Meditation. Over the years, I went to a lot of retreats at Siddha Yoga ashrams, where I met many great teachers and also made many friends.  One of the most inspiring teachers who I met there was Paul Muller-Ortega, and when he started the school of Blue Throat Yoga in order to teach Neelakantha Meditation, I quickly signed up and have been so happy and so impressed by the power of this practice to take us into the most subtle spaces within, and then how that experience enhances all of life. After years of practice, I became a teacher of Neelakantha Meditation, and so I’m very happy to share this amazing practice with others.

Learn Neelakantha Meditation. A 2-day course that can be scheduled at any time.  Day 1: receive personal instruction in Neelakantha Meditation.  Day 2: a deep dive into the whole theory of the practice.  When you learn Neelakantha Meditation, you also receive a lifetime of support, including access to a full online library of teachings, ongoing instruction in various supporting practices such as mantra japa, and access to various live events presented by the community of authorized teachers.  Also, you can attend my twice-weekly online group meditations, when we do a cycle of practices together, which always takes us deeper in our practice.

Entering the Heart of Shiva (EHS) is the foundational course in Blue Throat Yoga, and it is open to everyone who wants to explore the practice of meditation, including other complimentary practices, and especially, the basic teachings of Nondual Tantra, especially as expressed by Abhinavagupta. I am co-teaching EHS now with other experienced teachers of Neelakantha Meditation. The course is in three parts and I will be co-teaching several of them:

  • “Wisdom of the Heart” starts Sunday, April 19 through June 21, 1-3 Eastern US time
  • “Light of the Heart” in October to December, followed by the other 2 in 2027, 12 – 2 PM

Each course: six 2-hour seminars online, with a treasure trove of documents, translations, and audio files to explore.
