Illuminating Your Heart's Desire - Sankalpa CD

US$21.95

Dr Swami Shankardev Saraswati and Jayne Stevenson

Every wonder why, despite your best efforts, you are getting nowhere?

You've read all the books, listened to hours of recordings and attended endless seminars but you're life is still not the dream all the 'gurus' tell you it will be...

The simple fact is that the vast majority of the multi-billion dollar self-help industry assumes you actually know what you really want. If you don't know what you want - what your genuine, heart-felt goals are - no amount of positive-thinking will ever help you! 

In this modern world many of us are lost in endless and ever-changing desires and are unable to perceive what is most important to us.

To make the best of our life we need to engage in a conscious relationship with our innermost being and our innermost desires.

In many of our workshops and seminars, the question of life purpose often arises. How do you know what you really want in life? How do you distinguish between powerful desires and life purpose? These are important questions, as what is a life without true purpose, and how can we find satisfaction if we lack the power to bring that purpose to fruition?

After hearing of the confusion around these fundamental life issues, I suggested to Swami Shankardev that we dedicate a whole training CD to the exploration of desire and life purpose.

Illuminating Your Heart’s Desire takes you on a potent inner journey where you get to know your feelings about every aspect of your life, and where you authentically explore your needs and desires so that you can become more successful and fulfilled.

After discovering these potent forces (which often lie dormant in us), you will learn to focus your awareness into realizing your one, most important desire – the one that is connected to your higher purpose, the reason for your human existence. Once you have been guided to connected to this part of yourself you will be taught how to create a Sankalpa – a powerful statement of intent.

By repeating this Sankalpa in your meditation and creating a plan of action to achieve it, you begin to fully realize that you are the motivating force behind your own dreams and that you have what it takes to realize these dreams.

You may need to practice the meditations on this CD several times, and engage in self-study for a period of time before you realize your ultimate life purpose. However the process of engaging in the search for a higher purpose is in itself deeply satisfying. It is a learning process.

The beauty of these techniques is that each time you practice you will discover more knowledge about your true needs and desires.

You will discover more and more about who you are, and you may indeed be pleasantly surpised by what you find.

Swami Shankardev and I wish you great joy on this journey into the realization of your own true Self.

A letter from Yogamitra about the healing power of Sankalpa

Hello and Hari Om,
My name is Yogamitra. I am a yoga teacher from Athens, Greece and I would like to share with you an amazing experience that happened to me about nine months ago. It shows how yogic tools such as breath and the sankalpa work efficiently on all levels, often far beyond our understanding.

On October 20th 2007, I had finished teaching a yoga class and was driving home when I started to sneeze continuously for about twenty minutes or so.  When I arrived home I was not hungry and had a terrible headache. I told my daughter that I was not feeling very well and would go to bed early and rest. That night the headache became much worse even though I was taking painkillers. It was so bad that I could not sleep.

The last thing I remember was attempting to get to the bathroom to vomit at 8 am. That is all I recall before waking up four and half days later at 3 am in the intensive care unit of a hospital with my mother and my daughter staring down at me in tears.

I regained consciousness and was shocked to find that a tube had been placed down my throat to mechanically support my breathing and other wires were supporting my heartbeat. I had lost all sense of place and time. Everything felt like it was at a distance and I was disoriented. The ceiling was moving to the floor, the windows were shifting around the room. It seems the only thing I had was my breath. That was the first tool I instinctively started to use to try to regain some balance.

I had been ill with meningitis, inflammation of the coverings of the brain. Apparently I had died. The doctors told me “You went to the other side, you were gone, but then you came back”.

I was kept in the hospital for three weeks. I used my mantra whenever I felt pain and Yoga Nidra to rest because I could not sleep. I was allowed to go home, but the doctors told me that I had a long way to go before I would fully recover. My nervous system was still in a mess. My memory and concentration were so damaged that I couldn’t remember everyday words, like “salt”, nor the faces of my friends, and I could not follow stories in movies or news items.

So then I started to use my ultimate yogic tool. I am ever so grateful to both Swami Shankardev and his partner Jayne Stevenson for making the CD on Sankalpa; Illuminating Your Heart’s Desire - Finding Your Life’s Purpose.

Since I could not practice yoga postures, nor sit cross-legged for mediation, I developed the habit of listening to this CD through the day as I lay on my back in bed. At night, listening to the CD was the only way I could get to sleep.

In the beginning my mind was drifting apart but slowly I was able to concentrate for longer periods of time. I began to plant my Sankalpa, “I AM BECOMING STRONGER AND HEALTHIER”. The Sankalpa along with the other techniques on the CD helped to bring me back closer to the strengths and abilities in myself. Every day I felt myself getting stronger and healthier.

After ten days at home I had an appointment to visit the hospital. The doctors were in tears after seeing how rapid my healing was. Once again they explained what had happened to me. “You left us for a time, then you came back”.  I told them of my daily process. They were so impressed with the effects that they asked me to start teaching it to them.

Although I am now 99.9% recovered I still use the Illuminating Your Heart’s Desire CD frequently. It guides me through a process that helps me live my life more consciously united with my higher Self and less entangled in my lower self.  Of course I still have lots of unresolved issues so I use this CD to help me to recognize them as they come to the surface. I continue to discover all kinds of aspects of myself and can observe them from the tranquil state that this CD cultivates instantly.

I regard this CD as a great gift to us all and that is why I am sharing this true story with you. Do not wait for an emergency or illness to start. Start working on yourself now. Start when things are rather easy!

Om and Prem,
Sannyasi Yogamitra

And another wonderful story from Julie...

I think there are a lot of us who think life ‘is just the same old thing’. However there has to be more to life.

I’m a very busy full time working, single Mum of 2 young boys. We’re up and out at 7.15am and home again at 4.30pm, the same routine every day. I consider myself lucky because I’m home before 5pm. Still, it’s straight to the kitchen to begin the healthy dinner and I’m not relaxing until at least 8.30pm. I’m sure this sounds familiar.

I have been thinking for a year now that something needs to change. I have two desires that have been in the back of my mind. One is to purchase my own home. The other is to spend more time with my sons (7 and 9 years old) before they’re adults themselves.

Needless to say, my two desires contradict each other as I need to work full time to take on a mortgage and I need to drop days at work to spend more time with my boys.

I am employed in administration for a company that provides services to other companies in the community. We manage Big Shakti’s distribution.

Being directly exposed to the products that Big Shakti has to offer has encouraged me to delve into the benefits of meditation. Like many, I had never previously found the time to look after myself.

Jayne kindly gave me the Illuminating Your Heart’s Desire CD. One Sunday, while I was baking and my boys were doing their homework I decided to listen to the introductory talk.

Firstly, I have to say that Swami Shankardev has the most calming voice that you just want to keep on listening (even my boys didn’t make a peep). Within seconds he was pointing out the obvious signs of busy life and the confusion that we all suffer in trying to fulfil so many desires. I was engrossed with this introduction.

I played the CD twice, right through all of the meditations while I kept cooking. Without even practicing the meditations I noticed something shifted. I realized that NOW is the time to make that change.

On Monday morning when I arrived at work I promptly arranged a meeting with the manager. I told him “I’d like to drop a day a week of work”. After company discussions throughout the day, my desire was granted!

That was two weeks ago now, and I’m already feeling more content and proud of myself for prioritising my two main desires and making the change. In turn, it’s making me a more enjoyable mother to be around.

I’m also excited about having the time to do the meditations to see what changes may come up once my subconscious has absorbed my inner desires one by one!

We all know ‘it’ but we need to be reminded of ‘it’. I truly believe my life is changing for the positive and it’s thanks to this fabulous realization that has come to me through listening to the wisdom of Illuminating Your Heart’s Desire CD!

So if you feel that life is getting on top of you, and that there needs to be improvement, otherwise you’re going to derail, this CD WILL get you back on track. It will also take you to the next level of self-awareness so that you can simplify your needs and do what really brings you happiness.
