(2 credits) According to the Tibetan Medical tantras, the Wind element (rlung-spyi) is the breath, life force, and energy of the body and mind. It is pervasive and circulates inside and outside of the body. It is the source of respiration, movement, strength, and the power of the body and mind. It especially governs the main function of the mind, and for this reason, is considered particularly important and impactful in Buddhist practice which holds the relationship with mind and the experience reality that results from such as paramount. Most importantly, in the context of this class, is the relationship between the wind and the mind (sems), and the understanding of how working with one affects the other.
