Mastering The Siddhis
Based on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, this six-part advanced programme introduces specialised sutra practices that cultivate greater refinement and self-mastery.
What are the Siddhis?
The Siddhis, as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, are refined capabilities that arise through the systematic development of consciousness.
They are developed through the regular practice of sutras – subtle, eyes-closed impulses of thought that allow the mind to engage more directly with the underlying laws of nature.
As inner silence becomes more established through regular meditation, these practices support a more effortless alignment between intention and action in daily life.
Course structure
The Mastering the Siddhis course is taught in six instalments, typically spread over 16–18 months.
Each instalment takes place over a weekend and introduces a specific set of sutra practices, alongside the knowledge needed to understand and integrate them.
While each instalment can be experienced on its own, there is no requirement to complete all six. However, the course is designed to be taken in sequence, with each instalment building naturally on the one before it.
Your teachers
Thom Knoles – via recording
In this course, Thom presents the Siddhis and the underlying knowledge through a series of recorded lectures, offering a clear and comprehensive understanding of their source, mechanics, and purpose.
Carmen Catuti
In this approach to learning the Siddhis, intellectual understanding goes hand in hand with direct experience. In addition to facilitating discussions and answering questions, Carmen will guide practice rounds, supporting you in gaining confidence in the technique and connecting the knowledge to your own experience.
Prerequisites
Mastering the Siddhis is designed for experienced Vedic meditators who have established a consistent daily practice.
As the course builds upon the knowledge and techniques introduced in Exploring the Veda, completion of the corresponding instalments is required before joining each Siddhis seminar. For example, completion of Exploring the Veda 2 is required before enrolling in Mastering the Siddhis 2.
