Create a conscious relationship with yourself

Big Shakti combines the best of both eastern and western self-development methods to support you creating an integrated, expansive sense of self, one that unites body, mind and spirit.

Our approach is based on the cultivation of self-awareness and the development of a loving, nurturing relationship with ourselves. Nurturing (yin) based on clear perception of our needs builds strength and resilience (yang).

Self-awareness is the most important element

Self-awareness is the most important ingredient in this system of self-development. It is our capacity to experience, feel and know ourselves. The more we can feel and know the more we can change. We can learn to live better lives and to feel more connected to the universal parts of us.

Techniques to increase self-awareness and self-control

Once we become aware of a part of us that we wish to work with we can use techniques, such as those found in the Core Strength Calm Mind CD/MP3, to develop a sense of balance and control while we explore the different ways we can change.

"I feel very clear, sharp, balanced, connected, tall, strong, together. The Core Strength Calm Mind CDs help me to balance and connect my mind, body and soul so that I feel ready to cope with whatever comes my way for the rest of the day!"

Four important realizations

1. There is something greater in us that we can connect to and experience
2. We can learn to relate to ourselves in a way that is loving, nurturing and strengthening
3. We can develop the courage and ability to take on the difficulties and challenges of life
4. All beings are connected and inter-dependent

Beyond simple relaxation

Our self-development techniques take you to take the next step in stress management beyond simple techniques that relax tensions following a stressful event. You will learn more powerful meditation processes that develop inner strength and resilience, and the confidence required to face the stresses of life and learn to from these experiences. You will learn to enjoy stress.

Our problems can the source of be our greatest learning

On the path of self-development disease and suffering can be viewed as something that we can learn from. In fact, many people find that illness is the catalyst that propels them onto the path of true self-development and is seen as something sacred.

Balance self-acceptance and positive change

The more aware we are the more we feel our strengths and our weaknesses. It is essential to find the balance between self-acceptance, especially of our weakness, and the desire for personal growth and change. This is basis of a positive loving, nurturing relationship with ourselves and leads to true self-mastery.

Gain true joy and a sense of achievement

We encourage a balanced mix of self-care and self-love with a discipline based on a genuine desire to learn something that brings you a sense of joy and achievement. By learning to love and care for yourself and by knowing yourself, you can tune into and respond to others in ways that are mutually supportive and satisfying.
