Akasha Yoga is a moving meditation with gentle slow movement of the fingers, hands and arms. The movement of fingers, hands and arms is called dynamic mudra. Akasha Yoga has a series of three moving mudra practices.

Ākāśagarbha is one of the eight Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas that form the mandala of the One Buddha and Eight Bodhisattvas. Akasagarbha practice is deep-rooted in the dual foundation of boundless merit (puṇya) and knowledge (jñāna). Akasagarbha is wealthy as his wisdom is as vast as space. As explained in the Mahāvaipulya Mahāsamghāta Sūtra:
|
“Suppose there is a millionaire who has limitless riches, an immeasurable store of large donations to people, especially to the poor and bereaved.
"Suppose that he opens his store to make offerings to those people as much as they want, and that he is thereby immensely satisfied. Like that rich man, does Akasagarbha Bodhisattva practice his meritorious acts.” |
Prajna Akasagarbha is the wisdom practice of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva, who entered samādhi with it.
Dhyānabodhi also entered samādhi with the practice of Prajna Akasagarbha.
Dhyānabodhi went home after his master departed from this world. He stopped by the riverbank of his hometown Chaoyang and momentarily stood there. That moment turned into seven days and seven nights. When he came out of the samādhi, he saw thousands of people on both sides of the river with tents and chairs. They were witnessing this phenomenal man, just like the stars, stood in the seemingly motionless slow movement of akasha samādhi. Thousands of people from his hometown became his disciples.
ZenWise is inspired to spread the dharma practice by his master. He has, in many lifetimes, walked on the Bodhisattva Path. His aspiration, deeply rooted in the alaya-consciousness, has reminded him to carry on the Bodhisattva Vow.

Boundless sentient beings, I vow to ferry across.
Boundless merit and knowledge, I vow to amass.
Boundless dharma doorways, I vow to learn.
Boundless True-Beings, I vow to serve.
Supreme Awakening, I vow to prove.

Mantra is the storehouse sound of the cosmos.
Mantra is older than human language.
Mantra is the intelligence of existence.
All and everything reverberates.
Mantra is an effective method to harmonise vibrations in the body resulting in the opening up of the pathways of your body and brain.
Mantra, along with mudra, is the golden key to unlock the treasury of your potential.
Mantra is time.
You become receptive to every reverberation when you hold still.
You have to hear the sound directly rather than reading from the text. You are in an active preoccupied state when reading from the text, whereas you are in a non-active receptive state when open to the sound.
When you are preoccupied with aberrant thoughts and delusive emotions, you will not be conscious of it.
You should seek oral transmission resonating with the proper mantra practice with initiation.

Oṃ for the awareness.
Āḥ for the awakening. Hūṃ for the awakened. Oṃ āḥ hūṃ by eternal free emanation. Oṃ āḥ hūṃ of original nature manifestation. |
Prajñā Ākāśagarbha is to unite you with the infinite divine.
Through practice, you will gain rapid progress on your spiritual evolution. You will experience the sensation of gravitational pulls, and your health will improve. You will attain wisdom by awakening the seeds of store-consciousness (ālaya-vijñāna).
You will enter the rhythm of nature. You will discover a deeper rhythm within it. Enter this deeper rhythm, and you will experience samādhi.

Prajna Akasagarbha Dynamic Mudra
Mudra is the open sphere of the cosmos.
Mudra is the subtle navigator of the life force. Mudra is the balancer of cosmic existence. All and everything transmutes. Mudra is an effective method guiding the flow of vital energy through the pathways of your body and brain. Mudra, along with mantra, is the golden key to unlock the treasury of your potential. Mudra is space. The seeds of alaya-consciousness are alive and constantly moving in space. The seeds of alaya-consciousness are dormant and asleep in your body. You may feel a certain kind of sensation, which is the awakening of the seeds of alaya-consciousness, the more you practice the mudra movement. Once your mudra movement has become so natural, you would no longer be "making an effort"; the seeds of alaya-consciousness have now awakened. You are united with all of space alaya-consciousness and will move as One with the heartbeat of the cosmos. The experience of such a state of the union is the basic concept and purpose of yoga practice.

Here is the experience of a student in about a week with pointers from akashyogi.
By slowing down to somewhere between movement and inertia, you begin to experience the previously unconscious forces that are acting around and on you. Your size and shape feels plastic so you forget about me me me as each mudra evolves into the next in a blissful awareness. FRANK WATERS, UK |

Let go of the little self attaining the great self.
Let go of the great self attaining the marvellous self. The marvellous self which is hard to let go of is mystical. Let go of the marvellous self to enter Truth. |

The moment one is born as a human being, one is perfect and natural, and just like the universe, the seeds of alaya-consciousness are also moving in the body.
The baby becomes conditioned by his environment as he grows up; his perception, therefore, becomes skewed and limited. He arose to this understanding of the world as he perceived it. Therefore, his seeds of alaya-consciousness, as he grew older and older, have gradually gone to sleep. As a person is growing up, he has desires. He identifies with himself and develops a personality that feeds his ego. Therefore, he begins limiting himself with his ego. At the same time, he has been limiting by the conditions of the environment. |
Indeed, it is quite an achievement to blind himself and an accomplishment in attaching to delusive emotion. Thus, he separates himself from the union with all of creation.
In the pursue of self-indulgence, he has lost his mind in the divided struggle of competitive envy, arrogance, vanity and materialism. He no longer knows himself.
Know yourself, un-divide your mind, and open your wisdom eye.
You can attain the wisdom that cannot be given to you by others but only through your diligent practice. You will discover the abundance of creativity when you do wake up from romantic fantasy.
You are the source of wisdom in the Space-Womb, the Sky Jewel, the Akasagarbha. You have the treasury of wealth within as vast as space.
Learn Akasha Yoga and work on yourself.

A divisive mind leads to confusion.
Action without attachment is in the flow. Many do fall into the trap of a narcissistic path. Bodhisattva is on the Open One Path. May you embark on the all-inclusive One Path Every Name! May you unite with the Yoga Mandala of Life.
