Shakti

The beauty of being asleep is that when you finally start to wake up, the feeling is incomparably glorious.

As the shakti (or kundalini) energy starts to move through the body, every part of you comes alive. You feel life vibrating in each cell of your body, and you close your eyes to enjoy it. Sometimes it's subtle and you have to be very quiet to feel it; other times the energy courses through the body and it's exhilarating and almost unbearable.

You realize that life is music. There's music inside you, and there's music around you. Your body starts to dance in rhythm, and the dance and the music become one and the same.

You breath... With each inhale you invite the energy inside you to increase, and with each exhale you relax into it and let it spread through you.

You walk down the street feeling each foot as it pushes off the ground, energizing and propelling you forward. You walk with rhythm and power, feeling that you own yourself. You own every step you take.

Your heart feels so big that you can hardly contain it in your body. You are ready to welcome any and all into your heart. There's room for everyone. You want to share, and you do; sometimes in obvious ways, but mostly in quiet ways. You emit love and blessings wherever you go, to whomever you cross paths with.

Swept up in feeling-- music, movement, love-- your mind only knows one thought: Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.

Your hands come into prayer at your brow and tears of gratitude well up in your eyes. You feel completely humbled before this Great Gift.

This is what you've been waiting for your whole life. This is it.

Wahe Guru...
