Our spiritual life begins when our heart is awakened
True spiritual life begins when our heart is awakened, our individual self finds a sense of connection to the greater cosmos, and we find a means of expressing our spirituality in meaningful and personally significant ways.
Connect to a higher purpose
We can tell that our spiritual life is dawning when we begin to align our life to a higher purpose. Higher purpose integrates our individual purpose into a more expansive and meaningful plan. Our consciousness expands and our sense of what is possible is changed forever.
Relationship is the key
To develop our spirit and consciousness we need to cultivate a relationship with something greater in us. We also need to examine the relationship between form, our tangible material parts, and that which is formless, subtle and unseen in us.
We need to bring these two seemingly opposing parts of us into relationship in order to find meaning, and to unleash the vast power with us so as to realize our greatest potential. This is because meaning and purpose, and the power to achieve this purpose are found in the more subtle depths of our being, not in the material parts.
Connect to the subtle forces within
Techniques such as those found in the Chakra meditation CD/MP3 lead us into an experience of the deep subtle forces within us and allow us to channel these hidden strengths and abilities into our lives. The Ajapa Japa CD/MP3 teaches us how to open our subtle spiritual channels so that we feel connected to something higher at all times. When practiced correctly this energy can be channeled to awaken our heart and higher consciousness.
Transform yourself and the world around you
The power of the relationship between the individual and the universal and between form and formless is beautifully demonstrated in the work of Swami Satyananda in the Yoga of the Heart DVD. It reveals how this relationship unleashes powerful forces that can transform both the individual and society.
"This films is truly uplifting and inspiring. I congratulate Jayne Stevenson and Swami Shankardev on creating such a great film about the humanitarian and spiritual work of a great mystic."

Every moment is precious
Awakening heart and spirit teaches us that every moment is precious; an opportunity to do something that supports all beings and allows us to be creative in our own lives.
It is important not to waste a moment of our precious lives. Rather we need to seek to know ourselves and to unfold our deepest potential that lies within our heart and consciousness. It takes time and effort to achieve results on the spiritual path, to achieve something of meaning for ourselves and others.

Testimonials
The Introduction to Meditation and Yoga Nidra CD provides useful methods for stress reduction and healing. I have gained noticeable results even after only a few weeks of regular practice. These include: improved sense of wellbeing, increased inner strength, calm and serenity, improved stamina and ability to deal with stress and life’s challenges. Although simple, the techniques presented are powerful, based in authentic tradition of tantric yoga, and thus different from many of the 'new age' meditation instructions which have a much more superficial effect on our mind-body system.
