The Art of Shakti is a virtual spiritual center that provides the teachings of Kundalini & Kriya Yoga.
Our founding principles are honoring Shakti energy - in yoga, it is also referred to as Kundalini - divine feminine energy responsible for all the universe’s creation and spiritual awakening to realize one's true potential. Kundalini Shakti through Traditional Himalayan Yogic Techniques can be activated at the base of the spine (moodladhara) and gradually rise up one chakra at a time into higher centers for the seeker to experience transcendance beyond all worldly suffering.
"Many people may doubt that finding God is the purpose of life; but everyone can accept the idea that the purpose of life is to find happiness.
I say that God is Happiness.
He is Bliss.
He is Love.
He is the Joy that will never go away from your soul. "
- Paramhansa Yogananda
In yogic philosophy, discovered by ancient Rishis, traceable as far back as 1,000 B.C. - 500 B.C. in Vedic scriptures, Kundalini Shakti is divine feminine energy, the source of all material creation. Lying dormant in each human being, a hidden potential that can be awakened through the ancient spiritual science of yogic technology.
We try all modern healing modalities to cure ailments of the mind, yet all progress falls short because it fails to permeate through the deeper layers of our being. Yoga, a spiritual science and technology, understands these deeper layers within each human being and is designed to break through all barriers of the mind. Through self practice, we can prevail past mental bondage and realize the source of all our suffering as self-inflicted.
Art is not just visual, art is any expression of human creation. In this physical life, we are caught in the Maya (illusion) of division and dualities. The prime Vedic examples of dualities that represent the essence of universal existence is Shakti and Shiva. Shiva sometimes referred to as the Purusha, a masculine energy (in a metaphorical sense), pure consciousness, that which gives consciousness to beings within their bodies in this material world, and everything in it. It is the supreme source of all life behind its appearance. Shakti is Prakriti, divine feminine energy of material existence of all creation, including the subtler layers of our being. Within the cosmos, one cannot exist without the other. The merging of these two dualities is what is responsible for all creation. All Kundalini Yoga is Tantra, as it aims to transcend dualities, transmute sexual energy into spiritual, see past the Maya and promote spiritual liberation. Kundalini Shakti within the body is known to exist dormant at the base of the spine, and Shiva is known to reside at the crown of the head. We utilize traditional yogic technology (asana, chanting, mudra, banda, pranayama) to elevate this energy within ourselves and pierce through all the blockages and barriers that prevent us from spiritual ascension. Shakti desires to meet Shiva once again within us, and must first rise through each blockages before this union can be achieved. When we merge those energies within ourselves, we experience awakening - the art of union with cosmic consciousness, divine self. Traditionally they are known to meet at the Saharara (crown), yet some even believe they meet within our hearts. The art of self-realization, of Shakti, is the creative process to how we get there.
This Art is available in various mediums and techniques, all of which achieves the same result - the return back to our true bliss state (Sat-Chit-Ananada). Art of Shakti hopes to help you through this by offering tools of Kundalini & Kriya Yoga, mantra, meditation, spiritual community, and guidance.

SUTRA 18. विरामप्रत्ययाभ्यासपूर्वः संस्कारशेषोऽन्यः॥१८॥

…When this state, Asamprajnata, superconciousness, is reached, the Samadhi becomes seedless. What is meant by that?
In that sort of concentration when there is consciousness, where the mind has succeeded only in quelling the waves in the Chitta and holding them down, they are still there in the form of tendencies, and these tendencies (or seeds) will become waves again, when the time comes.
But when you have destroyed all these tendencies, almost destroyed the mind, then it has become seedless, there are no more seeds in the mind out of which to manufacture again and again this plant of life, this ceaseless round of birth and death.”
-Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Swami Vivekananda
