More that 1,000 years ago, the Mahasiddhas began an exploration of psychotechnologies and mind-states which remains unparallelled to this day, and which modern science is only starting to truly understand. This blog is dedicated to the methods they developed, especially the those passed on within the Pa-Panth of the Siddhasampradaya. Homage to Jalandharipa, Kanhapa, Tilopa, and Naropa.

Kundalini-yoga
In Tibetan yoga, there are several terrms for kundlini-yoga (candali-yoga)
kundali and kundalini are terms for the same thing as candali and candalini:
caṇḍālī: चण्डाली (Tibetan: གཏུམ་མོ་, tummo)
kundali: कुण्डलि
Caṇḍālinī: चण्डालिनी
kuṇḍalinī: कुण्डलिनी
Yoga: योग

Yoga danda
This is a yoga-danda. Yoga-danda litterally means "yogic stick" but specifically refers to this instrument which can be used to change nostil dominace. The Western research on nostil dominance seems to have mixed results (which I am certain can be resolved by looking at the research methodology critically).
In general, nostril dominance is associated with various physical, mental, emotional states within yogic traditions. I am confident these will mostly be proved accurate in carefully controled research.
Simply put, press the yoga-danda into the left armpit, and the right nostril will open more... And visa-vesa.
A truly simple life-hack.

The Strangest Book on the Six Yogas of Naropa
I own many books on the Six Yogas of Naropa. This book is easily the oddest of them. Despite this (or mabe because of it) it is also one of the most interesting. Whimsical and weird, it still offers many practical and useful insights.

Karmamudra Text
Many texts on the Six Yoga of Naropa mention the use of karmamudra (sexo-yogic practices), expecially as an adjunct to, and extenion of, Tummo training. Many Six Yogas texts state karmaudra is absolutely necesary for thee attainment of the Illusory Body
Very little of any practical value has been writen in English on the topic of Karmamudra. The below text is a rare exception
