Summary description of the six yogas of Naropa. What the texts say:
1. Tumo
In particular, the yoga of inner fire allows you to increase your internal heat until you melt the snow around you, or even more widely, and to cross walls thanks to the realization of emptiness. To practice Toumo, it is essential to follow one's "root lama" throughout one's existence, as the great masters mentioned above have done.
2. Yoga Guru
This yoga of the body makes it possible to realize the illusory nature of phenomena and to free oneself from all forms of attachment, aversion and to realize emptiness in all things.
3. Clear Light Yoga
It allows you to replace mental opacity with Clear Light, the natural luminosity of a mind free from all negative karma. In deep sleep we experience the Clear Light.
4. Milam
Also called Dream Yoga, it allows us to understand the origin and nature of our dreams, that it is our own mind that makes dreams and that they are illusory in nature.
5. Yoga of the intermediate state
The bardo is the intermediate state between death and the next rebirth. At the time of death, our spirit does not immediately realize that it is disconnected from the body. This state lasts between 7 and 49 days.
6. P'owa
The Yoga of the Transference of Consciousness makes it possible to obtain a form of liberation at the time of death. As long as we are subject to karma, we can be liberated and reborn in the pure fields through the practice of P'owa by a lama. Relatives have 49 days after death to bring in a lama. Practitioners can practice P'owa practice with a master.
