The imagery of a golden thread is rich in association, ripe with significance. In our practice, the golden thread is a means of putting ourselves on an energetic spit, connecting the personal and the universal. The symbol’s potency is woven throughout mythology and literature: it was Ariadne’s golden thread that allowed Theseus to make his way out of Minos’s labyrinth; in his poem “To The Christians,” William Blake offers a golden string to be wound into a ball and the process of winding will lead one to Heaven’s gate.

The golden thread is cosmic material for embodiment which, through the conscious manipulation of breath work, we can use to organize the mind and body. The wraps for rapture are breath techniques wherein the meditator uses the breath to guide the golden thread along circuitous, energetic routes; weaving the imagination through and around the body becomes a means of wrapping oneself up, much like winding a string up into a ball. To wrap oneself is to insulate oneself—like a caterpillar in a cocoon, nestling into a sphere of safety that lends itself to evolution and transformation. To be well-wrapped is to be rapturous—held, buoyant, experiencing center. 

In this training, we will explore the rich theory that underpins both the thread and the wraps. We’ll learn to map and traverse the neurological pathways of our polarities and mediate them by referencing center. Through theory and practice, we’ll investigate the utility and power of this work in our pursuits to become integrated, safe and resilient.
