Paths
Ashokji's Core PrinciplesWhat Forrest's Kriya guru, Ashok Singh, told him again and again: head towards bliss, clean out the chakras with OM, and rest on the medulla, where the true guru is met.HunaThe Hawaiian Kahuna teaching as it reached him through Tad James: three selves, and the rule that you go down to the subconscious to reach the higher self.The Chakras and OM JapaThe six chakras as the brain projected into the body, and OM Japa as the practice that cleans them, in meditation and through the day.Time Line TherapyTad James's method for clearing negative emotions and limiting decisions at their root, in the timeline where the subconscious stores time. It ends with how the method pairs with OM Japa in a yogi's practice.

Trainings
Tranquil Breath (4th Phase of Breath)The text expands HRV resonant breathing into comprehensive breath training aimed at entering the “Fourth Phase of Breath” described by Patanjali and the “Tranquil Breath” associated with Lahiri Mahasaya. It explains the physiological mechanisms behind this state, why it occurs, and how practitioners can reliably reproduce it.Big BlissThis training focuses on cultivating profound inner bliss associated with the left amygdala. It aims to explain how intense ecstatic states described by yogis and saints may arise, how practitioners can access them, where they first become perceptible, and how to avoid overlooking this subtle internal experience.Talking To the Higher SelfThis training explores communication with the Higher Self through brain-based models, brainwave states, Kahuna teachings, and methods inspired by Anna Wise. It presents a progressive approach for cultivating altered states of awareness intended to support inner guidance, direction, and perceived communication with a higher aspect of consciousness.Gayatri MantraThis training teaches the Gayatri Mantra through a six-step progression intended to direct the practice toward specific deep-brain processes. Its goal is to strengthen access to, and connection with, the brain systems associated with a dualistic experience of the Higher Self.Samadhi TrainingThis training maps the deepest stages of meditation through the nervous system and brain. It explains how to prepare for progressively deeper states—Clarity, Absorption, and ultimately Samadhi—using specific exercises and techniques. It is presented as the author’s most complete and profound meditation teaching.
