Greetings and Namaste!
The Mysteries of the Divine
Feminine unfold around us and within us every
moment of our existence. To fully awaken to Her
presence, Her wisdom, and Her vision requires Her
grace.
Shaktipat is the yogic term for the descent of grace that
awakens your inherent power of consciousness to
know the highest and to remain immersed in the
sublime state of wholeness - holiness - that ensues.
That inherent power is known in the Eastern traditions
as Kundalini - the living presence of the Divine
Feminine, the Holy Spirit, the Goddess within
everyone. The mysteries of the Divine
Feminine are the mysteries of your true infinite nature.
The Divine Within is the power of grace unfolding and
revealing Her creation - your creation! - while giving
you the vision, the capacity, to
see the wonder of it all! Wisdom and joy beyond
measure are your birthright. Limitless compassion is
already fully present within you, just the other side of
your ordinary mind. The meditation She awakens will
allow you to know this for yourself as your Self.
Kundalini Shakti, the awakened power of
Consciousness, leads you on your soul's journey to
the highest realizations.

Anam Cara, Bedford, NY

October 26-28, Friday Evening-Sunday
Afternoon
Mysteries of the Divine
Feminine and
Kundalini Empowerment
Retreat
Taught by Lawrence Edwards,
Ph.D.
The extraordinary power of
Consciousness that allows us to directly know the
Infinite is called
Kundalini in the yogic tradition. This power of
revelation and transformation is
recognized in some form in every spiritual tradition
and lies at the heart of profound meditation. In this
retreat you will be guided through practices that
awaken and unfold the inner power of meditation and
yoga, Kundalini.
Through this innate
power of Consciousness we will explore the
archetypal realms of transcendence, wisdom and
grace. Through the power of mantra, chanting, breath
work, and the profound tales of mystical traditions,
including the Black Madonna, Inanna, Kali and
Kundalini, we will further access the inner source of
true knowledge and ultimate freedom. That source is
the Divine within. Through this process you will be
empowered to deepen and sustain your meditation
practice at home. Many people take this retreat
repeatedly in order to delve more and more deeply into
the mysteries of true meditation and further unfold the
power of Kundalini. Sharings from others who have
taken the retreat can be found through the program
link
below.
