Awakening Shakti: The Secret Power of Consciousness in You

Vasugupta, the sage behind the profound Shiva Sutras, illuminated humanity with the idea that within each of us lies Shakti—the dynamic energy of consciousness that births, sustains, and transforms the universe. This isn’t merely an esoteric concept; it’s a radical call to awaken the dormant divine power within us and live in alignment with the cosmos.

The Essence of Shakti: Power in Stillness

In Kashmiri Shaivism, Shakti is not something external to be sought; it is your very essence, the creative force that manifests the infinite within the finite. Unlike the often misinterpreted view of energy as chaotic or overwhelming, Vasugupta’s vision of Shakti is elegantly balanced. It is both the stillness of awareness (Shiva) and the vibrant dynamism of life. Together, Shiva and Shakti represent the inseparable union of consciousness and energy.

Vasugupta emphasizes that our struggles arise when we forget this union. We are not fragmented beings grappling with life’s chaos; we are vessels of infinite power. To awaken Shakti is to dissolve the illusions of limitation, reconnect with our authentic self, and reclaim our inherent creativity and strength.

Shakti as Self-Expression

Most spiritual traditions speak of discipline as the path to awakening. However, Vasugupta’s teachings suggest a divergent and incomparable perspective: awakening Shakti is less about suppression and more about self-expression. It is not about silencing the mind or denying desires but channeling them consciously. When you align your will with universal consciousness, even mundane actions become sacred acts of creation.

Think of life as a vast symphony where each individual note contributes to the harmony. Your Shakti is the note you are meant to play. To stifle it is to disrupt the cosmic melody; to awaken it is to allow life to flow through you effortlessly.

Awakening Shakti: Practical Toolkit

To integrate Vasugupta’s teachings into your daily life, here is a step-by-step toolkit:

1. Sankalpa (Conscious Intention):

Begin each day with a clear intention rooted in your highest aspirations. This is not a to-do list; it is a declaration of purpose.

Example: “Today, I align my actions with creativity and compassion.”

2. Breathing with Awareness:

Practice Pranashakti Kriya: Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and inhale deeply, visualizing energy rising from the base of your spine (Muladhara) to the crown of your head (Sahasrara).

Exhale slowly, imagining this energy radiating outward, connecting you to the universe.

Do this for 5 minutes daily to activate and balance your inner energy.

3. Dynamic Movement:

Engage in conscious movement practices like dance, yoga, or tai chi. Let your body express itself freely, without judgment. This awakens dormant energy and dissolves mental stagnation.

4. Affirm Your Inner Power:

Create a mantra that resonates with your inner strength. For example, “I am the creator of my reality, empowered by infinite consciousness.”

Repeat it daily, especially when faced with challenges.

5. Sacred Journaling:

At the end of the day, write about moments when you felt most aligned with your inner power. Reflect on what ignited that alignment and how you can amplify it.

6. Act with Devotion:

Infuse mundane tasks with intention and gratitude. Washing dishes, walking, or even speaking can become acts of devotion when done with awareness of Shakti.

7. Surround Yourself with Energy Catalysts:

Keep objects, colors, and symbols in your space that evoke inspiration and vitality. A simple lamp, representing the light of consciousness, can serve as a daily reminder of your inner Shakti.

Inspiration for the Journey

Awakening Shakti is not a single moment of enlightenment; it is an ongoing journey of rediscovery. Every step you take, every breath you draw, and every intention you set is a step closer to embodying the infinite creative potential within you.

Vasugupta’s wisdom teaches us that Shakti is not reserved for the mystic meditating in the mountains. It is alive in the artist painting their canvas, the parent nurturing their child, the leader guiding their team, and the seeker striving to know themselves.

In the tapestry of existence, you are both the weaver and the thread, powered by the divine energy of Shakti. When you awaken to this truth, you transcend the ordinary and step into a life of extraordinary purpose and joy.

Let this be your call to action: Awaken your Shakti, align with your truth, and become the conscious creator of your destiny.

“Life is a playground and a masterpiece, where I create, destroy, and awaken myself in infinite forms—always remembering that all there is, is now.”

~Shamanfox

Life is both art and play. I am the creator and the creation, always returning to the only truth: this moment.

Wellness encompasses 8 mutually interdependent dimensions: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, financial, and environmental. All of the aspects of your wellness are connected and impact each other. Although it always includes striving for health, it’s more about living life fully, and is a lifestyle and a personalized approach to living life in a way that… allows you to become the best kind of person that your potentials, circumstances, and fate will allow. . . #selfmastery #selfmasterycoach #goals #goalsetter #wellness #spiritualawakening #growthmindset #successmindset #meditation #emotionalintelligence #emotionalhealthmatters #selfawareness #spirituality #moneyflow #sherrygideons #consciousness #consciousliving #awareness #awarenessiskey #selfawakening #lifecoaching #dreamcoach #imaging #manifestyourdreams #createyourlife #createyourreality #mastery #lifemastery #leadershipcoaching #higherself (at Phoenix, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVHdvrmr_t4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Were you ever a daydreamer? Can you remember the last time you looked off into the sky imagining something that gave you butterflies or seemed like the perfect idea? As we get older it’s easy to forget how to dream! Our day to day lives get in the way of our imaginations and can quickly diminish our hopes. Seriously, when was the last time you imagined something you wanted that seemed so far fetched but you still hoped for it? If you’ve forgotten how to daydream I recommend looking back to your childhood. 👶✨👧 What were the things that made you passionate? What was something that lit your soul on fire? Re-visit those moments whether it was riding a bike, flying a kite, playing Oregon trail, making arts and crafts, playing sports, and etc. These things will help nourish your soul and allow your inner child to be able to dream again! Allow your soul to live and not only just the physical body. It’ll help you live a more fulfilled life to tap into your inner child. Try not to lose sight of who you’ve always been. 🌞☁️🖍⚽️🚲🧩♟⭐️ - - - - - - - - - #daydream #soulwork #soul #spirit #mind #innerchild #dreamhealer #soulguide #spiritguide #selfawakening #spirituality #pagan #paganism #neopagan #astro #loveandlight (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxs_8xXp3bV/?igshid=1khzcsigantsw

Learning, Unlearning, Relearning ✨ ~~~ On any given day, you may struggle with your habits because you're too busy or too tired or too overwhelmed or hundreds of other reasons. Over the long run, however, the real reason you fail to stick with habits is that your self-image gets in the way. This is why you can't get too attached to one version of your identity. . .
