Awakening Inner Vision: Psychic Development Rooted in Yoga and Buddhist Mind Science

The ancient systems of Yoga and Buddhism were not designed for show. They were engineered as technologies of consciousness. What we now call psychic development was never seen as a parlor trick. It was a natural unfolding of mind once prana had been stilled, karma purified, and perception sharpened.

The Hatha Yoga Pradipika states in Chapter 4, verse 1:

“When the breath wanders, the mind is unsteady. But when the breath is still, so is the mind.”

Stillness isn’t about silence. It’s about precision. My work in psychic development doesn’t bypass discipline. It is built on it. When we begin breath training, we are not just inhaling and exhaling. We are mapping pranic currents and unraveling the distortions that block inner seeing.

Most people try to manifest without confronting their core beliefs or karmic loops. It doesn’t work. In the Vajrayana tradition, the mind is described as clarity and knowing. Clarity can be cultivated. Knowing must be purified. Psychic insight emerges when clarity and knowing align through direct practice.

As Gampopa said in the Jewel Ornament of Liberation:

“When the mind is directed inward and rests naturally, its true nature will reveal itself.”

This is the foundation of my Clear Light Intuition training. We begin with breath but quickly move into ethics, vibration, and karmic realignment. You cannot open your inner vision while betraying your own integrity. The psychic field is not neutral. It magnifies what you are.

In Class Two we introduce pratyahara, not as a philosophical idea but as an action. You withdraw from distraction, not to escape the world, but to understand our role in creating our experiences. That’s what the Buddha did. That’s what every lineage holder before you did.

I’ve worked with clients who’ve spent ten years in therapy without shifting the core emotional weight they carry. One month in this system and their language changes. Their nervous system calms. And they begin seeing where energy was leaking.

The Shiva Samhita says:

“When the mind becomes steady in the center of the body, the seer begins to see the inner light clearly.”

And it’s true. When your breath is stable, your mind no longer rushes. When your mind no longer rushes, your attention becomes weaponized. At that point, psychic development is not mystical. It’s practical.

The breath is a key. Your perception is the gate.

The work begins when you’re ready to stop seeking and start seeing.
