Dream and sleep yoga foundations
Dream and sleep yoga are supportive practices in Dzogchen that extend awareness into the night. They prepare practitioners to recognize rigpa during dreaming, deep sleep, and ultimately the transition of death.
Dzogchen insight
Sustaining rigpa throughout the day
The essence of advanced Dzogchen practice is sustaining continuous recognition of rigpa, not only in meditation sessions but throughout all activities of daily life.
Dzogchen view in challenging circumstances
Difficult circumstances—illness, loss, conflict, or fear—are unavoidable in life. In Dzogchen, these are not seen as obstacles but as opportunities to deepen recognition of awareness.
Awareness during sleep and dreaming
For advanced Dzogchen practitioners, awareness is not limited to waking life. Sleep and dreaming become opportunities for continuous recognition of rigpa, extending practice across all states of being.
Signs of stabilization in practice
In Dzogchen, early glimpses of rigpa are fragile and easily lost. Stabilization means that recognition of awareness becomes continuous, effortless, and integrated into all states of being.
Approaching Tögal visions with stability
Tögal practices reveal luminous visionary experiences, but they must be approached from a foundation of stability in Trekchö and recognition of rigpa. Without stability, visions can confuse rather than liberate.
