Shiva is pure being or consciousness, and Shakti is its dynamic energy and self-awareness. They are inseparable aspects of one reality. This relationship offers a way to consider stillness and activity together, rather than treating them as unrelated experiences.

Meditation
Meditation brings stillness, thought and self-knowledge into relationship. It is an opportunity to become more aware of the mind’s movement and of the patterns that shape our experience.
Bija Mantras
Bija mantras are seed sounds used as a meditation practice. Beginning with Lam at the root chakra, at the base of the spine, repeat each mantra seven times and bring your attention to its place in the body. Move steadily from the bottom of the chart to the top.
