Namaste,
Life is filled with surprises, and when people are attractive and glowing with great and wonderful beauty, you can know that they have been touched by the Mother. The Mother’s being holds the quintessence of all essences and nature.
When you are meditating on the golden heart of the Natural Essence of the Mother’s being, then the whole world …more

Namaste,
One of the key functions of Kali Natha Tantric Yoga is to soften your heart-Karma so you can begin to feel all the love flowing from the Universe. At times the ego’s karmic teachings set up patterns that the ego wants you to believe in. Or, as the 11 Karmic Spaces says, “Jealousy, Anger, Pride. Indifference, Ego of Self …more

Namaste,
A lot of people enter spiritual life to escape responsibilities. You cannot escape a thing if you are really a true seeker. Especially when one is serving; one is lost in taking care of those in need. The Shakti brings creative energy to everyday living when one is flowing in the Mother’s River of love.
When you follow your …more

Namaste,
Today I read these words, “For whom much is given, much is required.” These words are so true, and the reality of it must be contemplated. At times we become afraid to give, as if by giving we would have less.
When you give of yourself to others, you are wide open and so much more is given to …more

Namaste,
Your Sacred Self is right beneath your skin, so close that you can feel
the Self any moment you are quiet.
Meditation brings you into the circle of life and death and into the
mystical awareness of both.
Alertness and generosity bring you deeper into the circle.
With alertness of generosity one begins to share what he or she …more

Namaste,
When you meditate and experience the Silence and the Formless, your body becomes relaxed. There is a passive condition of the mind, body and soul in which your spirit energizes, illumines and clarifies the conscious planes of the mind. Then you surrender to your Higher Self, where the wisdom of the Soul takes over.
Meditation is the perfect place …more

Namaste,
As you practice awareness of your breath, you are practicing awareness of all of life. Many of us just assume that breathing is an automatic process, nothing we need to pay attention to. Remember though that the word ‘spirit’ is derived from the Latin word for breath. No matter how lost you may feel, your breath is always with …more

Namaste,
Set aside a little time each day for just being. Five minutes a day would be fine. Sit down and watch the time unfold with no agenda other to be in the moment. As your mind begins to wander simply, say to yourself, “God loves me.” Keep the posture erect, yet not stiff. Think of yourself as a mountain.

Namaste,
The ego can’t comprehend the Self. When you enter meditation on the Self, you go further away from the ego. The supreme spirit is in all of us. In meditation, the supreme spirit becomes awake in the form of curiosity. It starts by asking WHAT IS NEXT? Then you become courageous and go deeper. The supreme spirit is a …more

Namaste,
Out of the Self rises an awareness of completeness. Procrastination comes from not being aware what is offered you in time and space in this moment or the minute after. The minute after procrastination has been canceled, there is usually a great space of accomplishment and gratefulness. When the Higher Mind comes into play, not only does work that …more
