Andrew Holecek: Dream Yoga, Sleep Yoga and Bardos

This episode is a deep dive into the extraordinary Tibetan Buddhist wisdom teachings on Dream Yoga, Sleep Yoga and the Bardos, with Andrew Holecek, a longtime Tibetan Buddhist practitioner and expert in offering these teachings via contemporary language and authentic practices. Andrew’s methodology goes way beyond lucid dreaming. He believes that shamatha and vipashyana meditation are foundational to all the advanced practices he teaches, and his purpose for sharing this knowledge is facilitating awakening from suffering, rather than feeding a student’s unconscious or conscious need for power or non-ordinary experience. We talk openly about these profound yogas and their ultimate aim—revealing the ever-present continuity of pure awareness underlying waking, dreaming, sleeping and even in death.
