Service Description

Conscious Pathways teaches Tantric Meditation from the tradition of Kashmir Shaivism, an Indian Tantric body of teachings that emphasizes the simplicity and naturalness of meditation. Kashmir Shaivism shows ways to deeply understand yourself while living in the world and fulfilling your duty in it. Tantric meditation, although mystical, is also practical, doable, highly beneficial, and completely compatible with modern life. In Conscious Pathways, we explore meditation in a variety of ways: Formal seated meditation, meditation focusing on Kundalini Shakti, our natural meditation energy, concentration techniques, and open-eyed meditation. We learn how to effectively and easily practice these techniques to deepen our overall wellbeing and enhance self-acceptance and self-knowledge. Kashmir Shaivism offers us the opportunity to grow spiritually while remaining engaged in the world. It does not require lengthy retreat from the world in order for us to progress spiritually. Like other tantric traditions, it actively uses many aspects of our daily life to deepen our awareness of our meditation energy: breath, conscious and mindful action, one-pointed attention on the senses, connection to our surroundings, and more. In Meditation Learning Sessions you will: 1. Discover time-honored and effective meditation techniques to work with your mind and body to connect within and live from a place of joy, freedom, and ease in daily life. 2.
