Examples of Classes & Teachings
This "new ancient tradition" of
spiritual healing, energy channels, & understanding the miracles, is
re-enlivening a kind of soul science in the world today.
As with any research tradition, there is an existing body of
knowledge to draw on, and absorb, as well as practical experiments
to be undertaken. These diverse, multi-faceted classes, workshops
and teachings are designed to offer a range of training, covering
the experience of spirituality & healing, as Sri Kaleshwar has been
expressing it, from many different angles.

Into The Secrets Of The Mother:
The Holy Womb Chakra Process
Washing out the dramas of karma to
restore peace & harmony in life & in relationships, plus find your
true soul mate
90% of people
in the world today are facing a terrible disease: Heartbreak.
No matter what age, stage in life, gender, socio-economic status --
karma is expressing itself through the drama of our human
relationships, often fraught with frustrations, loss,
disappointments, betrayals, personal and professional
misunderstandings, mistakes, tensions, illnesses, soul wounds, and
conflict.
These days, the
dramas are particularly experienced in the roller-coaster ride of
relationships between men and women.
Where is the end of the turbulent dramas in each person's life?
How can we understand the deeper meaning of, and disconnect from,
our karmas? How can we create balance, harmony, inner peace,
and real happiness in our lives
and our relationships?
 Welcome
to The Holy Womb Chakra Process -- a dynamic adventure into a 7000-year-old
healing technology from ancient India!
The powerful tools contained in The Holy Womb Chakra Process can
help you wash out all of the problems, tensions, misunderstandings,
mistakes, soul wounds, and karmas generated through the gripping
drama of human relationships.
A strong Womb Chakra -- in men and in women -- assures a stable,
clear approach to love, relationships, healing and
physical/emotional/spiritual progress.
The whole process of strengthening this mystical energy center in
the human body involves two steps:
1. Learning to draw an ancient yantra, a spiritual diagram that
expresses the energy of the source from which all souls, and all
forms, came, before the drama started.
2. Practicing ancient holy prayers
that relieve the effects of suffering, attachment, desire and other
prevalent human conditioning. (If left unchecked, our karmic
conditioning can lead to heartbreak, depression, disappointment, and
a disconnect from the divine.)
During this sacred knowledge session, participants will learn how to
draw the yantra properly, recite and pronounce the mantra prayers
associated with its on-going practice, and have a forum in which to
ask questions about this sacred healing device.
The transcript of the entire Holy Womb Chakra material given in the summer of 2006 can be found in the bookstore at
www.kaleshwar.org --
having a downloaded copy of this transcript is required for
participation in this special day of discussion and exploration of
this high divine process.
What to bring along for the session:
-
transcript of the Holy Womb Chakra materials
-
colored pencils or markers
-
large
drawing paper
-
white-out (yes, really!!!!)
Workshop & Activating Homa: Sacred
Knowledge From Lord Buddha
 What
Is the Purpose of Your Enlightenment?
"Turn your life
to be a holy healer, a soul healer.
Otherwise what is the purpose of your enlightenment?
What was the reason Jesus helped all those people?
What was the reason Buddha meditated and meditated?
His soul completely healed millions of people;
his soul was prepared like that.
To everyone praying to him, he sent his energy.
When you are in the body, try to do that practice.
Then when you leave from your body, whoever thinks on you,
completely your soul energy comes to help to them."
- Sri Kaleshwar
The Kalachakra
Process: Sacred Knowledge From Lord Buddha
"Time is money."
A stitch in time saves nine."
"To everything there is a season: a time to live, a time to die, a
time to sow, a time to reap..."
"Time's running out."
Time is one of the most powerful illusions faced by human beings. If
we look around our lives and the lives of others, we understand
(like the Buddha did) that suffering happens, and takes many forms,
including illness, poverty, old age, and, finally, death occurs.
In the ancient teachings from India, "Kala" means "Time" -- and it
also means "Poison." Nothing is born into this world without
its death being implicit.
How can we go beyond the limitations of time? How can we
negotiate through the effects of time? How can we undo the poison of
time's effects in our lives?
From the depths of his extraordinary compassion for the suffering of
humanity, combined with his profound meditations in nature, Lord
Buddha found Kalachakra -- the relief, the soul medicine, to this
prevalent poison in the human experience.
"Once the Kalachakra Yantra is with you,
Time cannot bite you that easily."
This ancient soul
knowledge & healing mechanism, originally discovered by Lord Buddha,
was given out in December of 2006. This occasion, at
Joshua Tree, in America, marked the first time this powerful Kalachakra
Process was given out.
In addition to a deep system of soul healing & understanding, The
Kalachakra Process includes a series of powerful prayers (mantras) &
a yantra (sacred diagram expressing the energetic structures of
Time, the human soul and the innermost consciousness).
The benefits of Kalachakra knowledge include
making the soul healthy through:
* switching pain and suffering to happiness & divine understanding
* enlightenment experiences -- links to soul travel &
other divine processes like The Holy Womb
Chakra
* creating angelic protection circles so
Time's illusions don't hit so much
* allowing us to recapture the energy of happier times in our
lives, and bring that energy to our soul in the present time to heal
our emotions
Materials you'll need for the course:
- large pad of drawing paper
- colored pens or pencils
- white-out (yes,
really!)
- an approximately
14" x 14" piece of cardboard
- transparent tape
- normal graphite
pencil
- a ball-point pen
You'll also need a cushion or something to sit
on (folding chair, backjack, etc.) for the homa that will follow the
workshop, to activate your yantra.
Human beings are like semi-permeable
membranes -- we are energetic beings -- often picking up stress &
strain from the environment around us, primarily through
interactions with others. Without our conscious notice, these
interactions (at work, play, performing arts, in the family or in
helping professions) create, over time, a residual build-up of
stressful energy in our systems.
Although this principles applies to every human being, anyone involved in the healing professions like massage,
reflexology, acupuncture, breathwork, psychotherapy, energy healing,
nursing, medicine, EMT, etc., should know how to decharge
effectively.
In the helping
professions, particularly, a lot of energy and stress is
transferring from person to practitioner, with or without our
notice.
(A person whose 'shoulder gets cried on' by friends, family, or
co-workers is performing the role of a healer.)
"This
is a superb teaching.
Therapists, bodyworkers
and health professionals
of all kinds...
I
hope you can make it
and start benefiting
like I have from the tools."
- Linda Marie Kimball Grace,
Massage Therapist
Santa Cruz, CA
Without an effective means through which to decharge whatever
stress, negativities, karmas, or other unnecessary energies we pick
up throughout a day, we have less protection against disease,
injuries, life's dramas, and the build-up of burn-out.
Decharging through the elements of nature like the earth, fire, and
water, provides simple relief to the age-old problem of stress.
In this short, entertaining &
hands-on class,
you'll learn:
-
How every human being picks up
stress & strain from others
-
How to reduce stress effectively
& instantly at home and work
-
How to identify the symptoms that decharging is needed
-
How to decharge stress
effectively through the elements of nature
-
How to restore balance &
equilibrium in your life easily!
Click HERE for a longer discussion of
the importance of De-charging.
 What's really happening in meditation? If we're charging the
soul, how come so many thoughts are running around in the mind? What
is the goal of meditation -- is it peace
of mind, balance, spiritual growth, greater clarity?
How can we gain maximum spiritual energy through meditating? This
class is designed for meditators of all experience levels, from any
tradition, to help gain a deeper understanding of the underlying
mechanisms in meditation. It includes an exploration of
crystal-clear and simple techniques for meditation, using mantra to
pull and digest deep spiritual energies -- whether you're a beginner
or an experienced meditator.
What you can expect: a deep analysis of the process of how we go
from the surface level of the mind to the depths of silence. It's
vital to gain an understanding of the process of purification of the
nervous system and how it affects our meditation. We'll explain the
role of thoughts in meditation -- why we
sometimes have a lot of thoughts, and at other times, hardly any at
all.
Finally, a coherent
answer to the question: Is it necessary to have a purely empty
mind in order to meditate effectively? The experience of
meditation will be covered from many different angles, such as:
- What's the real point of meditation?
- How to do japa effectively?
- Why is mantra necessary?
- What is the difference between doing japa & other meditations?
- What's the connection between meditation & the heart & the
soul?
- What is trance & what's really happening in that stage of
meditation?
- What are the symptoms of a successful meditation?
- What's an energy channel and how do we experience it?
This class also includes practical meditations.
How the Five Elements can make or break your life -- and how to
increase health, wealth & wisdom through living in harmony with them
Vaastu is the ancient knowledge from which Feng Shui
derived. Come explore this exciting Vedic tradition of combining
architecture and land development, the arrangement of homes,
offices, spiritual centers and other buildings with the energies of
the five elements of creation -- earth, fire, sky, water, and air --
and the cardinal directions.
Living in accordance with vaastu can fix 80% of life's problems,
including illnesses and family troubles. An understanding of vaastu
principles creates tremendous insight into spiritual realities.
This new detailed approach to the ancient
knowledge shares some similarities with Feng Shui, yet it is a more
effective and more sustainable system over time. Good vaastu affects
health, prosperity, balance, happiness, relationships and potential
spiritual development in auspicious ways. Bad vaastu, on the other
hand, can lead to supreme failures in any of those areas.
This class will introduce vaastu basics. The practical
applications include a demonstration of how anyone can improve their
home's vaastu -- and the corresponding aspects of their life -- in a
surprisingly short time.
The
Five Elements is a vital part of the 'new ancient
tradition' of healing and miracle energy systems being introduced,
for the first time in milleniae, back to humanity.
A profound system of healing for oneself and others, The Five
Elements Process involves learning an on-going meditation practice,
with healing techniques, in order to align with the building blocks
of creation -- the vibrations of earth, water, fire, sky and air.
Since everything in this creation, including the human form, is
composed of these elements, this process is revealing, step by step,
the 'access code' (like a PIN number) for each element.
Once you've charged your soul with the elements' vibrations through
a series of mantra practices, you can then use those elements to
restore and create health, vitality, balance, emotional well-being
and spiritual awakenings in yourself and in other people.
During this class, people will have access to the Five Elements
mantras and how to use them for healing. We'll be sharing details
about the angelic energies in the elements of Nature, how to build
relationship with them, and use that relationship to help others.
The Five Elements is a foundation practice -- the beginning of a deep
adventure into healing channels, profound meditations, and an
enlivened soul relationship with Nature.
In addition to explaining the mechanism of charging the soul,
through these practices, we'll be going over power decharging
techniques. Decharging negativity & stress is an essential part of
the life of a healer -- healers who don't
have effective methods of decharging are taking on too much of the
stress and karmas of the people they're working with, leading to
burn-out, illness, chronic fatigue, high anxiety and other
health-related problems.
Bring a japa mala if you have one!
"Choosing to practice
these powerful vibration mantras I am giving is a purification
process for your soul. Purifying your soul through these mantras
gives very higher peace and connects you to the cosmic energy.
Cosmic energy means, connecting to God."

A deep understanding
of healing & the mechanisms of healing really comes through sharing
healing energy!
Sometimes it takes confidence, experience, and a leap of faith to
recognize that healing energy is running through us and available to
other people who are in need of healing.
This class is for
students who are currently charging The Five Elements Process
mantras and want to start healing with the elements, AND for those
who are charging other Sri Kaleshwar knowledge systems (like the JC
Channels, Sri Chakra, etc.).
Anyone who has been
meditating for 3-6 months or more with a personal mantra from this
tradition, or is in a spiritual process group (like The Maheshwari
Group, etc.), is eligible to take this
class and learn about giving shaktipat, and healing through the
personal mantra.
In this practical,
hands-on clinical healing day, these major aspects will be covered:
-
How to set up the room
for maximum healing benefit.
-
How to talk about
healing with a potential recipient of healing energy.
-
Discussion &
demonstration of specific healing techniques using the individual
elements.
-
Distance healing &
instructions for both healers and recipients of distance healing, in
order to create successful experiences.
-
Discussion &
demonstration about how to give shaktipat, and healing, through the
personal mantra.
-
Decharging with the
elements will also be reviewed.
"Turn your life to be a holy
healer, a soul healer. Otherwise what is the purpose of your
enlightenment? What was the reason Jesus helped all those people?
What was the reason Buddha meditated and meditated? His soul
completely healed millions of people; his soul was prepared like
that. To everyone praying to him, he sent his energy. When you are
in the body try to do that practice. Then when you leave from your
body, whoever thinks on you, completely your soul energy comes to
help to them."
- Sri Kaleshwar
The Maha Panchabhutas, or Inner
Elements, Process is the inside depth of the Five Elements. In The
Five Elements Process, we are purifying the elements in our own
systems and learning how to help heal others through the elements.
In the Inner Elements, we are going straight to the elements'
relationship in the karmas, the illusions, and the 'blocks' in each
soul -- whatever traits are blocking each individual from
recognizing their own inner divinity and capacity to handle the
power channels.
"What are these elements' energy lilas
(plays)? How is your soul handling it?
Everything is linked with our inner vibrations, linked with the Five
Elements.
Once you have perfect, or at least, maintaining a pretty good
balance of the
Five Elements, your whole life goes very peacefully." -
Sri Kaleshwar
The Mother Divine is the inner energy hidden in the Five Elements,
as the creator of the elements' energy. Purifying the Inner
Elements energy means getting close to Her siddhic energy, the
supernatural energy -- although the entire control of the five
elements belongs to Shiva.
Understanding and practicing the Inner Elements starts to wash out
the negative illusions, the karmas, and the kamas, on the soul, and
creates a balancing in the Five Elements. This in turns leads to a
kind of stithipragnatata, or state of equilibrium, an acceptance of
'whatever it is, it is.'
From stithipragnatata, and through the mastery of the Inner
Elements, you can help the people around you connect more deeply to
god by helping them wash out their karmas, their deepest negative
illusions.
"Let's talk about how the elements are related to the illusion
channels, the real strong illusion channels around our soul. Karmas
will prepare and access through the influence of the five elements.
If you have a real strong energy, the five elements in you, then you
can break the illusions. You can really burn them. You can wash
these illusion channels in your soul."
- Sri Kaleshwar
A Workshop & Divine Exploration Into the Highest Healing
Mechanisms
In this sacred workshop,
the following knowledge will be shared:
-
The highest healing energies &
techniques available in the world today.
-
Divine formulas of the miracle
mechanisms.
-
New & inspiring information
about Jesus' life & training as a yogi in India.
-
Techniques to heal the souls
through Jesus' direct channels.
"He's not an ordinary soul, guys.
Not at all an ordinary soul."
- Sri Kaleshwar
Jesus Christ is known all over
the world for having done unbelievable miracles and healings. Sri
Kaleshwar calls Jesus one of the greatest spiritual masters and
healers who ever walked on the earth, and regards him as one of
the top divine souls in our spiritual lineage.
Anyone who's learned about Christianity or read the Biblical
accounts of the life of Christ knows that he performed amazing
miracles, like turning water into wine, and that he healed
thousands and thousands of people from physical and spiritual
maladies during his short life.
What is the real greatness of Jesus? LOVE.
"Love is Jesus, and Jesus is Love."
But how did that love
translate, practically,
into miraculous healings,
demonstrations of miracles,
and Jesus' clear understanding
of life and death?
Are there any exact, perfect formulas for implementing that love
and deep spiritual knowledge, through miraculous healing
abilities?
There is no doubt that Jesus left the Middle East in his youth
(the so-called "Lost Years") and came to study and travel in
India. He met many masters, and studied the deep spiritual
mechanisms, the ancient knowledge, in India.
But what did he study?
Where is that knowledge today?
What did he teach his disciples?
What about his promise to them:
"Whatever works I have done, you will do and greater..."?
In this beautiful and inspiring course, it is our honor and our
duty to share the actual mechanics --the formulas -- for building
such powerful love in your heart and soul like Jesus did, himself,
2000 years ago. Learn the mechanisms, the deep spiritual
knowledge, about how to wash out any blocks (illusions) in you
that stand in the way of implementing that love in the world.
This is the right time
to bring out this amazing knowledge, which has been hidden away
for 2000 years. Until 2004, it was never taught outside of India,
or beyond a handful of top spiritual masters.
In this program, we are going deep into the JC Channels, the
highest healing and miracle energy channels available on this
planet. The knowledge & techniques that are coming from this new
ancient tradition will prepare you to receive the highest divine
energies and understandings of the miracles mechanisms of this
creation.
Now more than ever, the need is
great in the world for human beings to understand the deep messages
Jesus was sharing with all of us:
- We are all the light of the
world.
- We are all the children of the
divine.
- We are all carrying the light of
Christ within our souls.
- We are all capable of
demonstrating miracles, the same miracles that Jesus showed during
his lifetime.
- How can we access that light?
How can we unveil our souls so that we really and truly can shine
our light in this world in the brightest and best possible way?
- How can we communicate with the
angels and demonstrate miraculous works on this earth?
Jesus is Love.
Love is Jesus.
In the silence of meditation the voice of Christ speaks.
In the silent recesses of the heart,
the light of Christ is shining.
Eternally.
From the silence, the angels can be accessed
to heal and lift the souls.
In the light of the angels, miracles happen.
A Full-Day Workshop With Healing Homa
 This healing yantra, designed millenniae ago by Jesus Christ, will
purify any home from negativity and has effected miraculous healings
& transformations for
people who hold it.
At the conclusion of the day-long
class, there will be a
Fire Homa (ceremony)
for
charging the yantras.
The Yantra Workshop
The J.C. Yantra is an INTENSE yantra, much more complicated than the Sri Chakra
Yantra. (All advanced students of this tradition know how to draw it
from memory.)
In this class, you'll learn how to draw the yantra on paper and then create
a copper version on sheets that are provided (metal holds energy quite
powerfully).
This yantra is one of the highest healing devices available in
the world. It has facilitated many miracle healings as a
result of people using it in their homes, meditating with it,
sleeping with it, holding it while receiving shaktipat, or drawing it
themselves. Healers who put it under massage or other healing tables
report powerful & unexpected results.
The presence of the JC yantra has
helped dissolve
heartbreak, physical problems, negative energies in a home,
psychiatric problems.... all kinds of challenges and disturbances
that people are faced with can melt in the strength and power and divine
love of this yantra.
This magnificent healing device was designed by Jesus Christ 2000 years
ago in India, and executed by 101 top top top maharshis.
The technology can only be taught on a new moon day or a full moon day.
If you've already taken the class, you're
welcome to
attend again at half-price, to refresh your command of this yantra and to deepen your experience with it.
Because one of the diksha (requirement) points about teaching
this yantra includes charging it in a homa (a sacred fire)
after the yantra is done on copper, the class times for this
workshop are a little in flux.
Different people work at
different levels of speed and comprehension of the process, so you can pretty much expect that this entire day and into the night
will be spent learning this phenomenal yantra technique.
(There will be a potluck lunch and dinner as well, in between....)
The day culminates -- after every
student has created a yantra on copper -- in a fire homa to charge
the yantras. The homa can't be started until everyone is 90%
finished with their yantras.
Getting this knowledge is an incredible adventure into
the essence of the energy of Jesus Christ and his healing abilities.
Spirituality of this magnitude, at this level, SHOULD require a huge
commitment and flexibility. Information of this high a caliber and
sacredness should require that one rearranges one's normal life and
scheduling, and expectations about what a workshop is.
"If it doesn't totally shatter your belief systems,
it's not real
spirituality."

Into The Sky: The Sun & Moon Yantras
During a incredible Christmas program in Penukonda,
India, in 1999, these two beautiful yantra systems, The Sun (Suriya)
Yantra and The Moon (Chandra) Yantra, were given out.
A yantra is a sacred energy diagram, in two dimensions, expressing universal
energetic mechanisms that exist
 in
multiple dimensions.
These simple-to-draw, mystical yantras provide deep energetic
insights into the solar & lunar mechanisms, both external from and
inside the human system.
When put in your home and positioned properly, the Sun and Moon (Surya
and Chandra) Yantras help to balance the energies in your home and
in your soul.
During the workshop, students will learn:
- about the depth of the Sun and
the Moon, how they're really affecting on this creation
- how to draw both yantras
- how to recite the simple mantras associated with the sun & the moon
energies
- how to practice the easy but powerful processes associated with
these cosmic aspects of Nature
- how the angels are related to the Sun and the Moon
- powerful healing techniques associated with these yantras
Materials you'll need for the course:
* large pad of drawing paper
* colored pens or pencils
* white-out (yes, really!)
&
* a potluck veggie lunch item to share
A yantra is an energy diagram, in two dimensions, of universal
energetic mechanisms that exist in multiple dimensions.
The Sri Chakra Yantra is a special gift for
spiritual students, based on exact researches and expert inquiry into
the nature of this creation.
It contains the whole blueprint for this creation: the planet, the
souls, the angels, the divine souls, the deities, the negative
souls, the nature of god, the reflection of god into manifest
creation, the maya or illusion nature in creation, the five
elements, all healings and blessings, the individual soul astrology
(past and future of each soul in the world), the siddhis or
supernatural abilities.
Most of all, the Sri Chakra is the home of the Mother Divine, the
female principle of the divine energy that is the Creator.
Whether we know Her as Mother Mary, as Quan Yin,
as Laxmi, Maha Kali, or Nature --
Mother is Mother.
  
"She doesn't belong to any religion."
- Sri Kaleshwar
The Sri Chakra system is a powerful tool for healing any soul on the
planet, anywhere. A mechanism for using and understanding cosmic
energies, it is also a key access point for attracting the Mother's
energies to our souls.
During this course, we will learn how to draw the Sri Chakra Yantra,
and discuss what it is, how to use it, & what the healing benefits
of the Sri Chakra are.
We will also share some luminous teachings
about the Mother Divine: who is She, what is Her creation, what is
this feminine aspect of God and why is She so supremely important to
anyone involved in spirituality?
We will be sharing deep examples from the lives of some famous
saints in history (their connections and dealings with the Mother),
including Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Buddha, Shirdi Sai Baba,
Vivekananda, Jesus Christ, Tenali Ramakrishna, and Paramahansa
Yogananda.
What to bring along for the session:
* colored pencils or markers & large drawing paper
* a compass (the drawing round-circles kind, not the cardinal
directions kind!)
* a ruler or other straight-edge
* white-out (yes, really!!!!)
* vegetarian snacks/one lunch item to share
What IS The Brahma Consciousness?
A short class in a vital
aspect of the human energy system
This short class provides an
introduction and a deeper inquiry into the Brahma Consciousness,
that important aspect of the human system relating to the soul and
the mind, and linked with the cosmic Intelligence.
How does the Brahma Consciousness operate?
How can we strengthen its capacity?
What is it doing when we are sleeping?
What IS the Brahma Consciousness?
How does it function in relationship to the soul, and to the mind?
This dynamic class will include showing a lecture (on DVD) from India, during the 1999 Christmas program in Penukonda,
discussing the subject of the Brahma Consciousness.
A few excerpts from Sri Kaleshwar:
"Brahma Consciousness means whatever the thoughts are giving, the
mind and soul discuss, and finally the judge is giving the decision.
That judge is called Brahma Consciousness. The Brahma Consciousness
is your inner guru, and it helps you to be happy, clear and
balanced. It gives resistance and self-healing power.
Brahma Consciousness is implementing, giving the strong force to
your soul. It gives the energy to the soul, to make it do the good
things your soul says to you. It will develop through your
meditation power..."

About The Sai Shakti Satsang
Sai Shakti Satsang includes some
sacred song (bhajan) singing, a group discussion around a spiritual
subject, followed by a peaceful & uplifting healing meditation...
Jonathan & Alx share knowledge,
insights, and spiritual healing energy from this 'new ancient
tradition' of Shirdi Sai Baba and his divine lineage of saints,
leading to a group question-and-answer discussion to create sat-sang
(literally, 'divine truth in a group setting'). The group healing
meditation is all the more potent for taking new spiritual
understandings into the inner silence.
Why is a group dynamic so
important, and a fundamental part of any serious spiritual
undertaking?
One part of the answer lies in a mysterious concept called
'protection circles,' the soul (and angelic) layers of support and
mystical protection that are developed any time more than one or two
people come together to share spiritual practice.
There is a compelling story about a group of Japanese monks
meditating at the time the United States dropped the atomic bomb on
the Japanese city of Hiroshima -- IN Hiroshima. The whole city was
reduced to fire and ash but their monastery kept standing and the
whole group of monks was unharmed by the explosion and subsequent
radiation.
Why? Protection circles, because they were
meditating together as a group.
There really is no substitute for group experience, group spiritual
practice, and the support that can be found in a spiritual
community. A group can advance spiritually in a rapid way,
where an individual is more likely to get stuck and flounder.
The satsang experience, on a
weekly basis, reminds people who are committed to living a spiritual
life about the importance of meditation, healing, inspiration,
support, love, understanding and compassion on a day-to-day level,
as a practical function of spiritual discipline. It gives everyone a
chance to go deeper into their spiritual practice and meditation
experiences, and to ask questions along the way about the different
stages and adventures of spiritual life.
You can find out more about this expression of
'groupism' by checking out
Alx' blog.
Alx &
Jonathan returned to Santa Cruz in March 2005, after spending seven
years studying in India. Their training was/is in intense
spirituality and healing techniques from a Shiva-Shakti** tradition a miracle healing saint.
**Shakti
- 1) high powerful divine energy. 2) the Feminine divine force,
expressed as the principle of creation. 3) part of the mechanism
of miracles.
4) another name for the Divine Mother or Goddess.
