Awakening Shakti: The Transformative Power of the Goddesses of Yoga

by Sally Kempton

Description

The sages of Tantra have known for centuries that when you follow the path of Shakti-the sacred feminine principle personified by the goddesses of yoga-these gifts can manifest spontaneously. Yet most of us, women as well as men, have yet to experience the full potential of our inner feminine energies. When you know these powers for what they are, they heighten your capacity to open spiritually, love more deeply and fearlessly, create with greater mastery, and move through the world with show more skill and delight. In Awakening Shakti, you will learn how to recognize and invite: - Kali, bringer of strength, fierce love, and untamed freedom. -Lakshmi, who confers prosperity and beauty. - Saraswati, for clarity of communication and intuition. - Radha, who carries the divine energy of spiritual longing. - And more. With a wealth of meditations, visualizations, mantras, teachings, and beautifully told stories, Awakening Shakti provides a practical guide for activating the currents of the divine feminine in every aspect of your life. show less
