Naro Chödrug

Naro Chödrug means “the Six Dharmas/Yogas of Nāropa.” It is a complete cycle of inner transformation practices, addressing body, energy, dream, death, and liberation.

Symbolic Meaning:
The Naro Chödrug form a map of dissolution. They guide awareness through every level where identity clings—heat, form, dream, transition—until nothing needs to be held.

The Six Yogas (symbolically read):

1. Tummo – inner fire: awakening transformative heat.

2. Illusory Body – transparency of form.

3. Dream Yoga – awareness within the unconscious.

4. Clear Light – recognition of ground nature in dissolution.

5. Bardo Yoga – navigation of the in-between.

6. Phowa – the directed final passage.

Esoteric Level / Archetype:

• The archetype of the radical practitioner, leaving nothing unexamined—not sleep, not death.

• Training for the moment when all supports collapse.

• Life and dying integrated as a single path.

Inner Function:
The Naro Chödrug cultivate intimacy with dissolution. What unfolds at death is rehearsed consciously in life, until fear loses its footing.

Character:
Direct, demanding, uncompromising—not a path of theory, but of embodied realization.
