Mahāmudrā may look easy, <strong>and</strong> it is, but its subtlety may elude you if you are not properly<br />

prepared. It is best <strong>to</strong> attain first some proficiency in Tranquility <strong>and</strong> Insight Meditation taught in<br />

<strong>the</strong> lower vehicles. Tranquility Meditation makes your mind peaceful, calm, clear, <strong>and</strong> pliable.<br />

Insight Meditation develops your underst<strong>and</strong>ing <strong>and</strong> awareness of ultimate reality so you can<br />

perceive it on deeper levels. In addition, <strong>the</strong> Tantras assume that you have received <strong>the</strong><br />

consecrations, developed yourself in deity yoga, subtle energy yoga, <strong>and</strong> sexual yoga, <strong>and</strong> that<br />

you have already spontaneously attained <strong>the</strong> view before you begin Mahāmudrā practice. Most<br />

importantly, <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>to</strong> maintain high <strong>and</strong> prolonged states of bliss in sexual yoga is <strong>the</strong><br />

essential foundation for attaining success in Mahāmudrā. The stronger <strong>and</strong> longer your orgasms,<br />

<strong>the</strong> greater <strong>the</strong> doorway <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Clear Light is opened.<br />

There really are no techniques <strong>to</strong> master in Mahāmudrā, because you cannot make yourself<br />

realize it. Instead, what <strong>the</strong>se practices do is place you in an open, spacious <strong>and</strong> relaxed<br />

awareness as you focus on your mind’s true nature, from which <strong>the</strong> view spontaneously dawns.<br />

She, <strong>the</strong> <strong>Great</strong> Consort, decides when you are ready, <strong>the</strong>n She takes you. The embrace of Her<br />

love is so intense that it burns away your obscurations. You make love <strong>to</strong> Her, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>n you<br />

attain inner awakening. Techniques include: 1) Attaining <strong>the</strong> View of Mahāmudrā, 2)<br />

Maintaining <strong>the</strong> View of Mahāmudrā, <strong>and</strong> 3) Deepening <strong>the</strong> View of Mahāmudrā.<br />

Attaining <strong>the</strong> View of Mahāmudrā<br />

The main techniques for attaining <strong>the</strong> view of Mahāmudrā are: 1) <strong>the</strong> third consecration<br />

(Prajñā/Upaya Abhiṣeka), 2) <strong>the</strong> Four Yogas (Catur Mudrā), 3) <strong>Tantric</strong> feasts (gaṇacakras), 4)<br />

drinking sexual fluids (rakta <strong>and</strong> śukra), <strong>and</strong> 5) guru devotion (guru yoga).<br />

The Third Consecration<br />

In <strong>the</strong> Yoginī Tantras, <strong>the</strong> third consecration (Prajñā/Upaya Abhiṣeka) is <strong>the</strong> initiating method<br />

for attaining a first experience of <strong>the</strong> view of Mahāmudrā. By attaining union with <strong>the</strong> Clear<br />

Light with your lover, you return blissfully <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> world of appearances. With your awareness<br />

simultaneously in both <strong>the</strong> bliss of <strong>the</strong> Clear Light <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> bliss of appearances, you attain for<br />

however long you can an experience of <strong>the</strong> third level of Mahāmudrā.<br />

The Four Yogas<br />

Integrated practice of <strong>the</strong> Four Yogas (Catur Mudrā) is <strong>the</strong> most proven method for attaining <strong>the</strong><br />

view of Mahāmudrā as well as its final result, enlightenment. Deity yoga is a critical foundation<br />

for Mahāmudrā as it transforms your coarse karmic obscurations. Subtle energy yoga transforms<br />

your subtle karmic obscurations. <strong>Sex</strong>ual yoga transforms your most subtle karmic obscurations<br />

<strong>and</strong> provides <strong>the</strong> true path <strong>to</strong> attaining Mahāmudrā. Kṛiṣṇācārya wisely observes, when practiced<br />

with a high intention, “To perform <strong>the</strong> erotic union is <strong>the</strong> attainment of <strong>the</strong> state of Mahāmudrā.”<br />

What drives success in Mahāmudrā is your intention <strong>to</strong> achieve it. With a weak intention, your<br />

orgasms will be enjoyable but will not elevate you. With a strong intention, you will succeed.<br />
