The energy of Consciousness is in the words you use – the words you use on others and the words you use on yourself. This is matrikaa, the power of words. Too often you use words to create your own bindings and pain. The mantra is words that will free you…

Chanting is a profound practice, yet simple and easy to do. I call it a sublime sadhana – sadhana means spiritual practice and the process it fuels inside for you.

The texts explain the beneficial effects of studying with a Shaktipat Guru. What you get is God’s Grace, which flows through the Guru. This Divine Grace reveals your inherent Divinity to you – the greatest gift of all. It is the gift that your own Guru received from their Guru…

We see these three as separate and different: God, Guru and Self. Yet this is another way that the One manifests in a three-fold form. There is only one, being all three. Let's look at what the differences are. Where do you look for God? Out there, maybe even up there and far away. Where do yo...

The Truth is that everything is a form of the formless, including you. So is everything you see and think of. When you give up your sense of separateness, you recognize the underlying essence of all. You become the One you have always been.

I see you and you see me. From my point of view, I am the subject and you are the object. From your point of view, you are the subject and I am the object. In Sanskrit, you are grahaka - the perceiver, the object is grahya, and the process of perception is grahana. This is the three-fold natur...

You love to keep secrets and you love to tell secrets. Well, I’m going to tell a secret – Shiva’s secret. He’s hiding in plain sight – he’s being you, looking through your eyes, hearing through your ears, experiencing all that you experience – and you don’t know. It’s the mystical secret from be...

Primordial Consciousness takes on 3 limitations to become you. These three malas (coverings) reduce the Lord’s primal powers of omniscience, omnipotence, perfection, everlastingness and all-pervasiveness. This is the human condition. And you can do something about it.

You are already Shiva, so just know - so many teachers tell you this. But if you don’t know how to just know, then you need some training and practices that will get you ready — to know and to be that which you already are.

When your mind reflects the world to you, it is contracted. When you turn your mind toward Consciousness, your own innermost essence, your mind is transformed.

Yoga honors Jesus as a great Guru, a mystic who raised his disciples up to his level. Jesus described himself as one with God. The yogic texts say that you can find in yourself what Jesus found in himself. This means you have to look inward to find God. But you need help with this…

Though your own Self is eternally pure, it is weighted down by your karmas and impurities. Yogic practices free you from these, just like a goldsmith heats gold to burn away the other metals. In the Bhagavadgita, Krishna told Arjuna there are many paths to Self-Knowing, including…

Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent, Eternal and Ecstatic – there is only One, which yoga calls Shiva. God by any name is still God. But there’s a special meaning to the name Shiva – for it means both formless and form. Shiva becomes the universe by moving, dancing, emanating forth in the form...

All your suffering comes from the mental torment that arises from your sense being separate – separate from God, separate from others, even separate from your own Self. Your mind suffers when it has a desire, even worse when it has two or three desires. The answer is to…

In meditation, your breath changes. After Shaktipat, advanced levels of meditative absorption open up inside. In some of these deeper levels, your breath suspends in a natural and easy stillness, which stills your mind so you experience supreme tranquility…
