The ancient science of Tantra is a profound spiritual path. In these 3 workshops we will be focusing on Shakti : Spiritual power, the divine cosmic power that creates & maintains the universe.
Cosmic Shakti also takes the form of many individual goddesses, which represent various aspects of the universal life force. In the tantric tradition every single physical function has a shakti or goddess energy.
Prana Shakti is the life force that is breathing us, when we breathe we allow for this prana shakti to enter our bodies. For many breathing is an unconscious action and most people have little awareness of the breath and the power of their life force. We can grow tired, listless and unhappy.
The tantric traditions tell us that all power comes from an essentially feminine inner source. The masculine in its purest most essential form is the source of Awareness, Consciousness, Atman, Brahma. So when the masculine wants power it must draw it from the feminine – Shakti. Just as when the feminine wants to be conscious, to reflect, she must draw the capacity from her inner masculine source.
The goddess energy is the hidden power of spiritual awakening. The goddesses embody the transformative power, the power to kindle the spiritual energy in each of us, that lets us awaken to our own true self.
