Tantra
Teachings
Tantra teachings in Mark Griffin’s teaching system present a path of transformation through which body, energy, mind, and consciousness are brought into a higher order of awakening. Drawing from both the Shaiva and Vajrayana traditions, Mark presents Yoga Tantra as a living system in which Shiva and Shakti, form and emptiness, mantra and mind become direct means of spiritual recognition.
Within the Awakening Archives, the Tantra topic gathers teachings on the architecture of the human form as a spiritual instrument, the power of Om Namah Shivaya and other mantras, the use of divine principles in deity practice, and the role of sacred texts and ritual in aligning the practitioner with the spiritual world.
These teachings are organized around five primary categories: Yoga Tantra, Deity Yoga, Sacred Text & Ritual, Form & Emptiness, and Mantra Practice. Together they present Tantra as Mark taught it: a complete path in which the capacities of the human form are awakened through mantra, visualization, sacred practice, and recognition of the unity of form and emptiness.
