Karmamudra refers to the ancient Buddhist practice of partnered sexual yoga. Also known as 'The Path of Skillful Means' or 'The Path of Great Bliss', Karmamudra uses powerful meditation techniques to transform ordinary pleasure, worldly desire, and orgasm into vehicles for spiritual transformation and liberation. In this ground-breaking book, Dr Nida Chenagtsang draws on his extensive training in Tibetan medicine and yoga to clarify major misconceptions relating to Tibetan Buddhist Tantra in general and Tibetan Buddhist sexual yoga practices in particular. Demystifying sexual yoga without depreciating it, Dr Nida provides an overview of the relationship between Sutric and Tantric orientations in Tibetan Buddhism, offers explanations of Tantric vows, initiations, and subtle anatomy, and explores both bio-medical and traditional Tibetan ideas about sexual health and well-being.

Speaking in a colloquial style as a physician, teacher, yogi, and parent, he addresses issues of sexual abuse, well-being and empowerment in a learned, down-to-earth and compassionate way. Aiming to inform and empower, this book offers vital context and instructions through which beginner and advanced students of any gender or sexual orientation can learn to engage with typically destructive and distracting emotions in a skillful way. Drawing on special Karmamudra teachings found in the Yuthok Nyingthig tradition that are aimed at practitioners without any prior training in tantric yoga, it offers safe and simple methods through which students can work with the raw energy of their desire and transform it into a source of blessings and benefit in their everyday lives.

Nejang (Tibetan གནས་སྦྱངས་) is a gentle healing yoga practice consisting of twenty four simple physical exercises which use breath work and self-massage to open the channels, balance the internal energies, relax the mind, and nourish the inner organs. With roots in the Kalachakra tradition, such exercises have been prescribed by Tibetan physicians for centuries to improve health and vitality and to support spiritual practice. For the first time ever in the English language, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, a traditional Tibetan physician and yogic practitioner offers an explanation of these Nejang exercises and their historical, cultural context for the benefit of people of all ages, physical conditions, spiritual backgrounds and levels of experience.

A thousand years ago, a renowned Tibetan doctor and spiritual teacher, Yuthok Yönten Gönpo, created a unique path of healing and spirituality that combines Tantric Buddhist practices with the traditional Tibetan medical system. He designed this path for his time but even more for our time, as he foresaw a future when people with very full lives would need a clear and direct approach to physical and mental health as well as spiritual liberation.

In Let Meditation be thy Medicine, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang, a traditional Tibetan physician and lineage holder of Yuthok Yönten Gönpo's teachings, presents this interconnected medical and spiritual path in a fresh and inviting way, welcoming new and experienced students and practitioners. In this book, you will learn your elemental type of wind, fire, or earth/water along with diet and lifestyle modifications for each type and which spiritual practices are most beneficial for each type. With his characteristic humor, clarity, and openness, Dr. Nida Chenagtsang can help you find a personal path back to your original and organic state- healthy, happy, content, and free.

Traditional Tibetan Medicine, known as Sowa Rigpa, the 'Science of Healing' is one of the oldest healing traditions in existence, yet it remains fully alive and intact today. A truly holistic system of medicine that approaches the health of an individual at the levels of the physical body, energy, and mind, it has the fourfold aim of preventing illness, curing illness, extending life, and cultivating happiness. 'The Tibean Book of Health' presents a comprehensive overview of the theory and practice of Sowa Rigpa suitable both for the general public and the advanced student and practitioner of Tibetan Medicine.

Weapon of Light presents Dr Nida Chenagtsang's highly practical and direct meditation instructions on how to access the Ati Yoga state in daily life and liberate the afflictive emotions. Featuring Dr Nida's pithy and direct poem entitled The Weapon of Light of the Primordial Wisdom which Vanquishes the Darkness of Samsara and supplemented with several oral teachings he gave in the United States in December 2016 on his Mirror of Light book tour, this book is an indispensable handbook for both beginner and advanced meditators of any lineage.

Mirror of Light brings into the English language for the very first time the great physician and meditation adept Yuthok Yonten Gonpo's teachings on Ati Yoga. Ati Yoga (Tib: Dzogchen), literally meaning the 'utmost yoga, ' is the pinnacle of Buddhist Vajrayana practice. It is the most simple, direct, and profound path to reveal the primordial wisdom which is one's basic nature. In his remarkably clear and accessible commentary which seamlessly weaves in verses from Yuthok's own root text and quotations from Tibet's great masters of meditation, Dr Nida Chenagtsang skillfully points us to the sky-like nature of our own mind which is clear, vast, and unobstructed by the clouds of afflictive emotions. Much more than a theoretical exposition, Volume One of Mirror of Light contains precise instruction on Ati Yoga's preliminary practices and trekchod ('cutting through hardness') -- ancient proven techniques that reveal the present fresh awareness that is free from all confusion and beyond the 'hardness' of dualistic thinking.

Most of us tend to dismiss the importance of our dreams. Even if we sense a deeper meaning, we are generally unable to say what a dream symbolises or see its connection to the important aspects of our everyday life. The Tibetan Art of Dream Analysis reveals how for over a thousand years Tibetan dream masters have been able to see the deep link between the dream world and the waking one. Through them we understand why nightly dreams can give clear signs of health warnings, conflicts, or foretell events yet to happen such as death, a birth, or other harbingers of wealth and happiness. This book provides a useful list of dream symbols and their hidden meanings as well as case studies of easy to read analyses of dreams. Those interested in going beyond merely understanding what a dream might mean will find, within its pages, very detailed, step-by-step approaches as practised by dream yoga masters long ago. For the truly committed this book holds out the ultimate goal of spiritual enlightenment for someone prepared to undertake the rigorous journey of an adept dream yoga practitioner.

The Tibetan Art of Good Karma describes the spiritual practice of traditional Tibetan Medicine, called Yuthok Nyingthig, used as an all-embracing guide by healers, practitioners, and medical doctors. In this book Dr Nida Chenagtsang describes his profound journey of self-discovery: Since the time I began the practice of the Yuthok Nyingthig, my normal world changed, my view and philosophy of life was changed forever. I was raised in a spiritual and natural way so this was always part of my being, but the Yuthok Nyingthig completely changed my life in an essential way, touching the very core of my being, enhancing wisdom in my practice of Tibetan medicine. This book is essential reading for anyone who intends to embark on a healing path, and will ultimately bring great rewards in their spiritual practice.

Dr. Nida's Path to Rainbow Body provides a wonderful initial overview of the marvelous teaching of the Yuthok Heart Essence, the principle spiritual teaching employed in Tibet for the training of physicians in continuous use in Tibetan medical schools since the 12th century, the time of Yuthok Yonten Gonpo the Younger. This book gives a brief but thorough introduction to this unique method of the doctor's essential inner training that must precede and complement the vast external learning that must be mastered over many years of medical school and early practice.

The Principle of Harmony in Healing is a pioneering work that reveals many surprising links between the indigenous medical traditions of antiquity, suggesting that the world's oldest medical systems were likely conjoined or coordinated across the planet in ancient times. This captivating book not only unearths the forgotten role of harmony between patient and healer, but also exposes innumerable other startling connections among the ancient cultures that emphasized such a harmony in their medicine. How is the Hindu god Brahma, and his consort Saraswati, linked with the Hebrew luminary Abrahm, and his wife Sara? How is the Hindu Kush mountain range related to the Land of Kush along the Blue Nile in Ethiopia? Sowa Rigpa-the indigenous medicine of Tibet, Bhutan, Nepal, Siberia, Mongolia, and Himalayan regions of India-fused many ancient medical traditions together in a unified system that has not only benefited countless patients throughout history, but also exhibits many key characteristics of the other medical traditions that thrived in distant parts of the world in past millennia, including Mesoamerica and Indonesia. How and why did these traditions come to have such an uncanny resemblance in an era when they are not believed to have developed any contact with each other? Is there a connection between the Amchi shamans of the Himalayas and the Hampchi healers of the Andes? These are just a few of the alluring questions covered in deBecker's ground-breaking work, The Principle of Harmony in Healing.
