When the threads of awakening drop and spirituality itself falls away, what’s left?

Peep our earlier introduction interview on the Multidharma Threads model here.

And a deeper dive into each awakening thread here.

Dr. Pierce Salguero has studied spirituality through decades of practice and scholarship, specializing in hathayoga, meditation, shamanic rituals, spirit healing, Thai medicine, and Buddhist philosophy. He is now a professor researching Asian history, religions, and healing traditions. His Multidharma framework distills the lessons from a lifetime of exploration of spirituality, providing a novel framework for modern seekers.

Here’s a deep dive into the Multidharma Threads model.
