The Ten Tantrik Yamas

Inner Alchemy for the Awakened Path

A living initiation into the ethical-energetic architecture of yogic awakening

 

The Ten Tantrik Yamas Practice is an immersive program and an invitation into the ancient and essential groundwork of the Tantrik path—the yamas—as preserved in root texts such as the Yoga Sūtras, Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, Sandilya Upaniṣad, and Śārada Tilaka Tantra. Far more than moral precepts, these ten foundational disciplines are guidelines for self-care and the cultivation of awareness in your life and spiritual practice. They are subtle technologies for regulating forces of mind, body, and prāṇa that prepare the vessel for awakening and protect it in the aftermath of energetic opening.

The Ten Tantrik Yamas are an expanded foundation of Practical Guidelines for Self-Care and the Cultivation of Awareness in Spiritual Practice. Expanded because they go beyond the five listed in the Yoga Sutras—the ten Tantrik yamas are presented as both the beginning of the path and a means of stabilization after spontaneous awakening in multiple source texts and traditions.

This dual function reflects a profound understanding of human transformation, that ethical-energetic alignment is both preparatory and remedial in the yogic journey.

 

 

Why the Yamas Are Foundational and Stabilizing

1. Beginning the Path: Purification of the Field
Across the Yoga Sutras, Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā, Sandilya Upanisad, Śārada Tilaka Tantra, among others, the yamas are consistently emphasized at the outset because they:
  • Purify the subtle bodyto allow prāṇa (life force, energy) to move harmoniously.
  • Restrain the human propensity for attachment & aversion, which otherwise distort perception and energy, i.e., balance perspective.
  • Prepare the foundation for safe arousal of Kuṇḍalinī by grounding the nervous system, stabilizing intention, and cultivating sattva (purity at every level).
2. After Awakening: Grounding & Integration
Spontaneous awakenings—whether triggered by trauma, meditation, breathwork, psychedelics, or grace—often open energetic centers prematurely, without the stabilizing container of ethical and psychological integration. Here the yamas serve to:
  • Rebuild the ego in alignment with essence.
  • Prevent prāṇic derangement, hallucinations, psychosis, or obsessive behaviors.
  • Root spiritual experience in the relational, embodied world, avoiding spiritual bypass or dissociation.
In tantric terms, yamas refine the receptacle to hold higher voltage energies without distortion.
