Yoni Shakti: A Woman's Guide to Power and Freedom Through Yoga and Tantra

Product Information

In a three-dimensional form, the Sri Yantra is the cosmic mountain Mount Meru, the central world mountain, and the mountain of the spine. In terms of light forms, Sri Yantra represents the Moon and the crown chakra, in which the higher union of Shiva and Shakti occurs, dispensing bliss to our entire being. It is this inner union of Shiva and Shakti that is the real goal of practice. a b c d e f Urban, Hugh B. (2009). The Power of Tantra: Religion, Sexuality and the Politics of South Asian Studies.

Annabel is inspiring in her embodiment of tantra. Her deepest intention for the brave souls, with whom she works, as they walk the tantric path is that each and every one of them can find this sense of beloved within themselves. Mother’s Breath: a definitive guide to breath, awareness and meditation practices for mothering (Sitaram and Sons, 2006). This forty-three minute yoga nidra practice creates a spacious welcome for new life. It was intended initially and specifically to support women through the experience of pregnancy, using the mother’s breath to nourish the child, and carrying awareness around the body of the child within the womb. It may also be a helpful practice to use when seeking to conceive, if you are happy to invite the unborn (and as yet perhaps unconceived child) to inhabit your womb. Some women also enjoy to use this practice to support a re-integration of their own inner child, and imagine that it is their own self residing in the comfort of the womb. Yoni is a Sanskrit word, Sanskrit being the ancient holy language from India which encompasses a rich tradition of ancient philosophical and religious texts, from the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Tantric traditions. But this blog will not be giving a breakdown of how Sanskrit works, for now it’s enough to say that the very sounds of each letter have sacred meaning. In Rufus Camphausen’s book, ‘The Yoni – Sacred Symbol of Female Creative Power’ he breaks down the sounds from the word Yoni: This thirty-nine minute yoga nidra invites you to connect with the deep power close to the bone, the power we access when everything else seems to be falling apart. The nidra connects to the grandmother energy of Dhumavati, and to everything we learn through suffering, difficulty and challenge.Imagine a world where all women and girls are free from shame, oppression and abuse, able to live in resonance with the power of their natural rhythmic cycles and in connection with their inner wisdom. Yoga Nidra supports relaxation, rest, sleep, mental clarity, creativity and helps people connect to their true nature. The most basic yantra form is a six pointed star, with the Shiva force as the upward pointing triangle and Shakti, the downward pointing one. These triangles are also forms of the linga and the yoni. The Sri Yantra, the most elaborate of the yantras, combines five downward facing triangles representing Shakti, and four upward pointing triangles representing Shiva. The two main Tantric symbols are the Shiva linga and the Shakti yoni, which indicate the main ascending and descending forces in the universe. They have many forms on all levels of manifestation. Understanding them is central to the inner Tantric Yoga and its transformative processes. While the linga and the yoni on a biological level are symbols of sexual energy, male and female, this is only a portion of their greater symbolism as the two prime powers of cosmic existence. It is not all that they are, as some would think, or their main indication. What enables covert abuse to happen and how it can be woven into the very fabric of yoga teacher training

The campaign, and the ongoing offerings from the Yoga Nidra Network, intends to dismantle harmful structures and beliefs that create conditions for the abuse of power in yoga teacher-student dynamics. worship of the Hindu goddess Shakti (Sanskrit: “Power” or “Energy”).

Brahma-yoni, for example, is Brahman or the Absolute as the source of creation. The female sexual organ can be said to be the yoni or creative center of the woman. But the term yoni does not necessarily indicate the female sexual organ or primarily indicate that to those who use it as a sacred symbol. While on a biological level, the yoni is the womb, in its greater symbolism it is also a cave, a valley, a place of origins, and the matrix of space and time. To translate linga and yoni in purely sexual terms does not do justice to their Sanskrit meanings and brings about many needless distortions! exclusive access to live streams, to mark the quarter and cross quarter festivals of the Celtic Wheel of the Year, including T otal Yoga Nidra meditative practices.

Uma Dinsmore-Tuli PhD - Yoga Nidrā Network

She hosts The Sacred Womb Podcast, founded the Womb Medicine Woman Training® and is currently writing her first book The Sacred Womb, which at its core, is a handbook for the empowerment of womankind; due for release in late 2024. If you’ve accepted time-limited free access to an online course and would like to contribute towards the costs associated with this. This spacious thirteen minute yoga nidra practice is the opening invocation to Yoni Shakti. In this version, the word YONI is used to locate energy in the cunt.Sadly, Uma’s censored prediction in that first edition has since been recognised widely to be the truth. The past several years have seen innumerable revelations and investigations of sexual, financial, physical and emotional abuses committed by teachers under the guise of ‘yoga’. There is now hardly a single ashram, school or yoga institution that has not been exposed to be harbouring these harms. The abusive power dynamics common to many individual yoga teachers and gurus have also been reported by brave women who have spoken up, and Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, like lots of other women in yoga, had heard too many of these stories to keep quiet any longer. Through the revised publication of the book, and through the campaign, Uma remains fully committed to sharing the evidence presented to her, including the names of teachers and places that she wouldn’t want anybody’s sisters or daughters to go to. Her intention with this campaign is to educate yoga practitioners, teachers and yoga teacher trainers worldwide to call out existing harm and to prevent future abuses of power.
