Latihan Meditation
Latihan is one of the oldest tantra methods. It is not a new phenomenon; Latihan is the first step towards Mahamudra. It is allowing the body to vibrate, allowing the body to become energy, nonsubstantial, and nonmaterial; allowing the body to melt and dissolve the boundaries.
Latihan is the practice of following your inner guidance and cultivating the space to tune in and be your authentic self, expressed in conscious movement in connection with self and others. The magic of Latihan is simple. Sometimes, when we are still and quiet, or in an unusually heightened state of awareness, we can be suddenly aware of this deeper life going on. The process of the Latihan reconnects us with something greater than ourselves and keeps this special awareness alive and active. The essence of the Latihan is to allow and follow the spontaneous inner movements from within.
Latihan can be practiced as part of the Mahamudra Meditation or solo, Latihan is one of the few spiritual practices that do not require an introduction or a Guru to initiate you. The origins of Latihan cannot be specifically traced to an area, culture, or ethnic group, instead is generalized as an Oriental/Asian practice. Since its origins are untraceable it is widely believed that this practice was channeled by many masters all over Asia at the same time. And even though it is shared within the Mahamudra Meditation, it doesn't mean that it belongs specifically to Tantric Practices.
Our Latihan is a blindfolded experience, where you will practice following your inner guidance to cultivate the space to tune in and be your authentic self, expressed in conscious movement in connection with yourself and others.
We start dropping in together and going over the protocols to create a safe container that will support the experience, we continue by committing to honor the boundaries and protocols. We then move into a grounding practice to assist with clearing our energy and focusing our attention on what is alive at this moment. Participants then put on blindfolds and start Latihan.
Latihan can be a very Spiritual experience or it can rather be a very Sensual one. For the Spiritual version, it becomes full on Mahamudra meditation from the Kagyu Lineage. The Sensual version can be optional clothing and people can interact, consent and boundaries will be addressed to create a safe environment.
Latihan is one of our favorite practices at Serpent Rouge, both the Spiritual version and the Sensual version are very profound. After experiencing Latihan many people Many people feel a sense of calm and a deepening of the natural connection with wisdom, and one's higher self.
