Here are some that are Highest Yoga Tantra and appear to be one part each (but can be 4 hours or so). Click the desired link below. There are places you will be asked to recite phrases (do your best). Let me know if you have any questions! ...Yogi Khenpo Dean
  
  [These are considered to be inappropriate by many lamas as is does not enable the personal connection described in the texts, but neither do many in-person group empowerments. HH the Dalai Lama has also done some online empowerments and has said repeatedly that the time has come for us to be "21st Century Buddhists". With that guidance, we are making these accessible, especially for those otherwise unable to receive a HYT empowerment. Thank you for your consideration and compassion for ALL sentient beings.]
