Album Notes

ABOUT THE CD

Tantric practices are designed to activate energy within every aspect of your Being, and then deepen your awareness of that Energy pulsing as Bliss, Joy and Love. The result is the direct experience of your Authentic Self as Pure Consciousness or Spirit permeating all of life, revealing the Sacred Nature of Creation and your own Self.

The "Expanding Consciousness (A Tantric Meditation to Awaken the Bliss of the Self)" Audio Program is designed to support you in this process.

The Expanding Consciousness Meditation leads you on a journey to activate and awaken the Masculine and Feminine (or Shiva and Shakti) Life Force Energies within your own Being, bringing them into balance and then directing them through your subtle bodies for healing and transformation. After connecting to your inner Sacred Connection, you offer your intentions for deep healing and awakening, and then more fully activate the Life Force energy by Chanting Omkar. The vibrations of OM enliven and clear the energy fields and draw you deep into a meditative state where you can more easily touch into your True Self. Following the Chanting of OM, a gentle chime lets you know that the chanting is over so you can rest in silence and expand into the powerful vibrations of healing and Expanded Consciousness. A chime calls you back, where you will be led through a process of more fully activating the Energetic Vibrations of peace, joy, love and bliss. Intensifying the vibrations, you are led back through the energetic layers of spirit, mind, emotions and body. Each step of the way, discovering the bliss and joy of the True Self contained within each level of your Being. Finally, experiencing this same Bliss, Joy and Love vibrating and pulsing within the world around you, reflecting your deeper Self back to you.

The full version of this meditation (Tracks 2 - 15. Total time: 64:47) includes the traditional 108 repetitions of OM as a full round of chanting. The OMs are broken up into multiple tracks so you can adjust the length of chanting time into increments of 11 OMs, 16 OMs, 27 OMs, or any combination by creating your own customized play lists. Using only 11 OMs gives you a meditation experience which lasts just over 38 minutes. Other track adjustments are also possible to customize in a few different ways.

By regularly using this meditation, you are able to consciously connect with the Deep Bliss of your True Self. The process reminds you again and again of the energetic nature of life and your Self, while also inviting you to discover the Bliss, Love and Joy of Spirit or your own True Self as Pure Consciousness permeating all of life. To discover the Sacredness which pulses within and as Creation is the greatest treasure of Tantric practices.
