The Alchemy Edit is a place for inspirational and educational conversations about timeless teachings, ancient wisdoms and modern sciences – Hosted by Eliza Giles.
Dr. Lorin Roche, renowned meditation teacher and scholar for over 50 years shares his journey into the heart of meditative practice and his inspired translation of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra as The Radiance Sutras.
Lorin shares how a chance moment in a physiology lab in 1968 first introduced him to meditation and the ancient tantric text and how that encounter set him on a lifelong path of devotion, translation, and teaching.
We dive into:
- How Lorin’s poetic, embodied translation of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra arises from deep daily practice, rendering these 112 gateways fresh and alive for modern seekers.
- How Instinctive Meditation invites each person to discover their own unique portal into stillness (breath, sound, movement, the senses, silence), rather than conforming to a fixed method.
- Stories from Lorin’s arc of teaching, mentoring, translating, and evolving his own practice over 5 decades, his challenges, insights, and the life lessons he’s gathered along the way.
