Ep. 133 Dragon Tiger Kriya: A Meditation

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

Today’s episode is an explanation of the traditional roots of the Dragon Kriya meditation practice being shared and how it can activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Katie then moves into the guided meditation practice, which is a little over 15 minutes long and will leave you feeling relaxed and blissed out.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ An explanation of the traditional roots of the meditation practice being shared

~ Upward and downward energy movements and how they relate to the nervous system

~ How this practice can help activate homeostasis of the upward and downward regulations

We will be exploring how the darkest night of the year becomes the brightest portal for healing and transformation. Join us for the Season of LIGHT. 🌟⁠
⁠
The Winter Solstice marks the longest night and the return of the light, a moment revered in feminine-form spiritual traditions and Ayurveda as a sacred threshold where deep healing becomes possible. It is the season of descent, stillness and inner illumination. A time when the invisible roots grow stronger, and the unseen realms speak more clearly.⁠
⁠
Through feminine-form spiritual practice, Ayurvedic psychology and ritual practices aligned with this potent seasonal gateway, you’ll learn how your pain becomes your power, your teacher and your path.⁠
⁠
This class is a sanctuary for anyone walking through darkness who is ready to discover the light within it.⁠

It’s like “Okay I’ve cried, I’ve dissolved, I’ve stared into the cosmic mirror of my soul. It’s time to put on a little bronzer and do this thing!” ⚡️🔥🌑

If you’ve ever felt like the darkness of winter and the threshold of the solstice really does something to your psyche… you’re not alone.

This is the time when that tiny spark of light slowly starts returning, broadening you beyond the limits of the prior year and expanding your heart even wider.

🕯️Why your wound is not a flaw but a map, especially in this season of deep introspection
🕯️How suffering becomes spiritual compost in the winter cycle
🕯️How we can, through rituals and sacred pauses, TRULY turn this season into a time of celebration, joy and new life and light.

⁠
✅ Many students come to this program simply to heal, deepen their self-understanding and reconnect with their inner guidance. Yes, our school is a training program to become a certified Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, but Level 1 is also intentionally designed as a personal transformation journey - a place to unravel old patterns, tend to your lineage and build a relationship with your own body’s wisdom.⁠
⁠
Module 6 of our Level 1 curriculum is where this becomes especially powerful. You’ll explore your subtle energy anatomy: prana, the vayus, the koshas, the chakras—the deeper layers that help you hear your own inner signals with clarity. Whether or not you decide to coach others after graduating, we teach you how to be your own first client, your own mentor, your own healer.⁠
⁠
Here’s a look inside Module 6: Subtle Ayurveda⁠
⁠
✔ Your energy! Prana as guiding intelligence⁠
✔ The Five Prana Vayus⁠
✔ The Pancha Koshas: The 5 sheaths of your being⁠
✔ Feminine-form spirituality, Laya, Kundalini and the Chakras⁠
✔ Ayurvedic coaching basics⁠

Lady, has your partner become the innocent bystander in your detective work as you try to get to the root of your symptoms? I know I can certainly relate. 🤭🕵🏻‍♀️🌿

The one thing that isn’t up for debate: ice water and cold drinks (especially in winter!) totally slow digestion and weaken your agni. So the bloating might actually be real. ;) 🧊😆🔥 original reel by @thevaglefamily
