The Five Wisdom Energies with Irini Rockwell

Joining us on the show this week is Buddhist teacher, author, coach, and trainer, Irini Rockwell! In this episode we're exploring the ancient but profound teaching of the Five Wisdom Energies of Tibetan Buddhism (also called the five Buddha families). This teaching is a Tantric Buddhist view of reading the energies that constitute our physical reality, how they manifest in relationships, personalities, landscapes, music, food, and societies. While coming from the Tibetan system, this is a completely secular view of the world that empowers us to open ourselves to the current unfolding moment and to flow with the currents of the energies at play. Irini is the current torchbearer of this view and has been training her students in how to utilize it for over 30 years! She was a student of the venerable Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and a professional dancer.  She's written two books on the topic,  'The Five Wisdom Energies, a Buddhist Way of Understanding Personalities, Emotions and Relationships and Natural Brilliance' and is the founder of the Five Wisdoms Institute.  You can follow her work, sign up for classes, and order her books over at fivewisdomsinstitute.com
