What if protecting your sleep begins by deciding that not everything gets access to you at night?

This Kundalini Sunday Zoom explores how awakening may affect couples, energy levels, sleep, creativity, habits, and the body. Chrism works with a married couple on what he describes as a shared activation, discussing fatigue, alternate-nostril breathing, meditation, physical closeness, service to others, and allowing one partner's process to influence the other.A part of the session follows a participant describing an overwhelming experience after returning to marijuana during an emerging activation. The conversation explores intense involuntary movement, fear, surrender, forgiveness, and avoiding substances that may complicate the process. The group also discusses attachment to spiritually significant encounters, community healing, fatigue as a possible call for greater rest, Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine, Shakti radiance being mistaken for sexual attraction, physical discomfort, dental care, and increasingly instantaneous creative intuition.Included topics: 25-day Shaktipat, Kundalini fatigue, chronic exhaustion, cacao versus coffee, couples sharing an activation, tantric positioning, alternate-nostril breathing, sleeping posture, outdoor meditation, back-to-back partner practice, mantra meditation, subtle activation, service to others, Kundalini community, overwhelming energy movement, cannabis and marijuana, substance-triggered activation, involuntary movements, fear during awakening, surrender, “I give myself to my Kundalini,” forgiveness, addiction history, craniosacral therapy, head pressure, creative kriyas, teaching and artistic inspiration, attachment to spiritually meaningful encounters, isolation on the Kundalini path, group healing, karma and past-life claims, physical wounds, fatigue and downtime, energy drinks and caffeine, Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine, Kundalini detoxification, Shakti radiance, sexual attraction versus energetic attraction, first- and second-chakra energy, nose and facial pressure, instantaneous intuition, creative guidance, pelvic pain, and relationship with the Sacred Masculine.•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•Drawing on more than six decades of direct experience with awakened Kundalini, Chrism offers grounded guidance for those navigating the physical and energetic challenges of awakening.This podcast is offered freely to support those walking the path of Kundalini awakening.For private one on one support from Chrism for your own Kundalini equation, as well as other services and resources, visit  .Recorded live on 13 Sep 2026

This Kundalini Sunday Zoom opens with an extended teaching on sex, arousal and celibacy during awakening. Chrism discusses sexual energy as part of Kundalini transformation, the possibility of alternating between sexual union and periods of celibacy, energetic transfer between partners, religious and cultural conditioning around sexuality, emotional balance, heartbreak, forgiveness, and redirecting reproductive energy toward inner transformation.Later, Chrism gives one of his more detailed accounts of his own Kundalini development towards his awakening/spinal sweep after having it activated since birth: prolonged meditation, pranayama, the Five Tibetans, lucid dreams, subsequent out-of-body experiences, and changes he attributes to awakening. The session also explores group healing, visualization and imagination, Christianity and the Holy Spirit, isolation, Shaktipat, pilgrimage plans, and the distinction he draws between direct Kundalini experience and channeling or mediumship.Included topics: sex and Kundalini, sexual arousal, celibacy, sacred sexuality, sexual union, energetic transfer between partners, cultural and religious conditioning, reproductive energy, first and second chakras, orgasm and ejaculation, redirecting sexual energy up the spine, devotion, emotional balance, heartbreak, forgiveness, pornography and self-stimulation, long-term celibacy, spiritual sequestration, Shakti radiance and sexual attention, attraction, group healing, spinal-disc pain, Chrism's personal Kundalini history, skepticism and hallucination, meditation, pranayama, the Five Tibetans, lucid dreaming, spinal sweep, awakening, out-of-body experiences, astral teaching, energetic healing claims, visualization, imagination, co-creation, grace, Christianity, Holy Spirit, Pentecostal experiences, the Vedas, Rig Veda, Jesus and John the Baptist, sacred sexuality teaching, Kundalini pilgrimages, Chamayo, Lourdes, full-moon Shaktipat, isolation, dream symbolism, channeling, mediumship, and Reiki.•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•Drawing on more than six decades of direct experience with awakened Kundalini, Chrism offers grounded guidance for those navigating the physical and energetic challenges of awakening.This podcast is offered freely to support those walking the path of Kundalini awakening.For private one on one support from Chrism for your own Kundalini equation, as well as other services and resources, visit  https://chrismkundalini.com.Recorded live on 20 Sep 2026

Send us Fan MailIn this episode I share the intense period when the Supramental Force (SAT Force) began descending and repeatedly pulled me into deep Samadhi — multiple times every day, often for 60–90 minutes at a time.This was completely different from Kundalini or Shaktipat.The force came from above, had its own intelligence, and did not negotiate. It would take me at work, on the sofa with the children, or during formal meditation. There was no choice but to surrender.I describe:• How the force first appeared after the intensive with Sat Shree• The two distinct types of Samadhi it produced (Savikalpa and Nirvikalpa)• What it actually felt like when it entered the system• How daily life had to rearrange itself around these absorptions• The deeper purpose of this force on the pathThis was one of the most powerful and beautiful phases of the entire journey.

Kaschmirischer Shivaismus einfach erklärt: Warum diese tantrische Tradition die Welt nicht als Illusion sieht, sondern als Spiel des Bewusstseins. Ruhig gesprochen zum Einschlafen.In dieser Folge steigst du in den Kaschmirischen Shivaismus ein, auch Trika genannt, eine nondualistische Strömung der indischen Philosophie aus dem neunten bis elften Jahrhundert. Wir schauen darauf, was Shiva als reines Bewusstsein und Shakti als schöpferische Kraft bedeuten, warum die Welt hier kein Schleier ist, der zerrissen werden muss, sondern der Ausdruck einer einzigen Wirklichkeit. Es geht um Spanda, die feine Grundschwingung allen Erlebens, um Pratyabhijna, das Wiedererkennen der eigenen göttlichen Natur, und um Denker wie Vasugupta, Utpaladeva und Abhinavagupta. Kein Vorwissen nötig, langsames Tempo, gedämpfte Stimme.

Interview starts at 31:35 This episode follows Wayne Purdin's early UFO encounters, his years as a UFO investigator, and how those experiences eventually led him into meditation, devotional practice, and prophetic interpretation. Graham Dunlop and Darren Grimes press Wayne on the line between extraterrestrial contact and spiritual experience, especially around CE5, grays, and higher beings. Wayne's story centers on a 1967 sighting that he describes as a first contact experience, plus a later cigar-shaped craft sighting with multiple independent witnesses. From there, the conversation moves into his spiritual framework, his books, and his view that the coming years are tied to a possible evacuation, mitigation, or golden-age transition.   My website: https://wayne-purdin.com My blog:  https://wpurdin.wixsite.com/elixir/ My articles on Sungazing: Sun Meditation and Gazing to Experience the God Presence, Sun Yoga, Sun Gazing, Surya Namaskar My contributions to Sunlightenment.com: sunlightenment.com/?s=Purdin#google_vignette shakti-meditation.com Key topics Wayne says his first UFO sighting happened on June 5, 1967, during a regional blackout, and he describes a large craft with several bright lights as a Pleiadian ship. He says that during that sighting he prayed for guidance and received a telepathic message: "you will find a teacher." Wayne recounts a second sighting in September 1967 of a silent cigar-shaped craft near Waterford, Connecticut. He says the next morning he heard multiple corroborating cigar-shaped UFO reports on talk radio, including one report of a craft splitting in half and another involving a person in a shiny spacesuit. He explains his background with APRO and NICAP, saying he investigated newspaper sightings and interviewed witnesses with a large tape recorder. The conversation shifts into meditation and spiritual development, including Wayne's move away from UFO investigation and into Transcendental Meditation and later teaching. Wayne discusses a meditative near-death experience where he encountered the goddess Durga, described a dweller or personal demon blocking access, and said the obstacle was overcome through devotion and love. He draws a clear distinction between spiritual contact and extraterrestrial contact, arguing that devotion and consciousness determine what kind of beings someone attracts. Wayne says he believes his 1967 message about meeting a teacher was fulfilled decades later when he met Ananda Devi Ma, whom he identifies as a co-author and spiritual guide. The bulk of the episode focuses on his prophecy work, especially his book Twenty Thirty Five Golden Ageand his timeline centered on September 9 to 11, 2029. He explains three different methods he used to derive the date, including a calculation from his own visions, a Daniel prophecy reference, and patterns in the Jewish calendar. Wayne argues that the coming period could involve mass evacuation, tribulation, or mitigation depending on collective karma and prayer. Graham and Darren repeatedly challenge and clarify whether the prophecy is fixed, symbolic, or something that can still be changed by consciousness and preparation.   Become a Lord or Lady with 1k donations over time.

Today's episode is another behind-the-scenes look, this time inside my Somatic Yoga Training and Embodied Yoga Life Coaching Certification. This teaching explores how we move energy through the body using breath, movement, sound, and visualization. Inside EYLC, we work with different maps of the subtle body, including the doshas, polarity, Shiva and Shakti, and the relationship between movement and stillness. In this clip, I explore why movement is not just something we do before meditation. Movement can help us express, discharge, and release what may be stuck in the body so we can access a deeper sense of presence, authenticity, and self-trust. Inside this episode, I explore:

In this episode: I tell a personal story about getting back on stage two weeks ago for the first time since knowing that I'm an AuDHD human.

In this inspiring episode of The Brand Called You, Ashutosh Garg sits down with Ritu Sharma, IRS Officer and author of Shakti: Tales of Power and Promise.Ritu shares fascinating memories of growing up around her ancestral Shiva temple and explores how these early spiritual experiences shaped her understanding of the Divine Feminine.The conversation delves into the essence of Shakti, its significance in Indian spiritual traditions, and the powerful symbolism behind ancient narratives. Ritu also discusses why she chose to write her book as a journey rather than a theological commentary, making complex spiritual questions accessible to everyday readers.The episode explores the apparent contradiction between goddess worship and gender inequality, while offering a thought-provoking perspective on how the concept of Shakti can inspire greater self-belief and empowerment.Ritu also shares deeper insights from the story of Sati and reflects on how ancient narratives can remain relevant in contemporary life.Whether you are familiar with Indian spirituality or encountering these concepts for the first time, this episode offers meaningful perspectives on faith, sacrifice, transformation, empowerment, self-discovery, and the enduring relevance of Shakti.

Every time Krishna Janmāshtamī/ Kali Jayanti (the 8th day waning moon of the holy month of Shiva, śrāvana) I find that I am especially inspired. It is no insignificant thing that Kālī & Krishna share the same "birthday"! Last year, we gave a talk on the subject called Krishna = Kali and I still think it's one of the best talks we've given, like, ever. Last night, similarly inspired, we went even further into the issue by asking: what is my Ishta, chosen ideal actually? What does our lineage understand Kālĩ to be in our highest theological conception? And as such, what does the worship of this form of Kālī actually look like in our day to day (or rather, night to night) Tāntrik practice. Essentially, in this talk I discuss my favorite form of Kālī, the sarvākāra nirākara, the formless Void which shines as all forms. Our central thesis is as follows:Premā svarupā iti şaktih:God is not love; rather, love itself in all of its forms is God. You cannot love Shakti because she is not the lover nor the beloved but the relational act of loving itself. So Kali is not Kali! Kali, I.e Ādyā is Love in and of itself in all of its forms. Our Ishta (Chosen Ideal/Main Deity) as such is not Kali understood as God; our Ishta by whatever mantra we approach Her, is God understood as Love in all of its forms. As such, my final claim: Krishna is the greatest expression of that Love Herself. There is no such thing as Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism, Materialism or any ism. There is no conflict anywhere. Krishna, Radha, Christ, Ramakrishna are Avatāra because they are the greatest historical experience we've had of the most intense love, that love which is not for God but IS GOD.Hit Me Up xSupport the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Celebrate episode 100 with me by EMBRACING TRANSFORMATION!Are you regulating your nervous system or pushing down Shakti? Today I introduce a deeper layer to the somatic experience by talking about my experiences with Kundalini and working through different breakthroughs in my life. I want to know in the comments: what was your greatest takeaway from today's episode?

What happens after you begin to remember who you are and why you are here? Awakening can bring greater clarity, inner knowing, and connection to your soul's path. But remembrance is only the beginning. At some point, what you know asks something of you. In this Season One finale of Soul Wisdom Project, Shakti Bottazzi explores the price of awakening: the responsibility to live what you have remembered. That may mean releasing old stories, moving beyond familiar patterns, making uncomfortable choices, taking action, and becoming increasingly congruent with what you know to be true. Shakti also brings the journey back to where Soul Wisdom Project began: the Living Blueprint of the Soul. Your individual awakening is not separate from the larger evolution of humanity. As we move toward a new threshold of consciousness, the question becomes not simply What have you remembered? but What will you do with what you now know?

— In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to become disconnected—from ourselves, from one another, and from the natural world. We're constantly chasing the next task, the next notification, the next destination, often forgetting that some of life's greatest healing happens when we simply slow down and pay attention. But what if one of the most powerful practices for reducing stress, restoring mental clarity, and reconnecting with a deeper sense of peace wasn't another productivity hack—but simply spending intentional time among the treesToday, we're exploring the beautiful practice of forest bathing, also known as Shinrin-yoku—a gentle invitation to step away from the noise of everyday life and immerse ourselves in nature through our senses. We'll talk about the growing science behind this practice, how it supports our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and why slowing down may be one of the most profound pathways to joy. Valeria sits with Amanda Chapman   — She has been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 1997 and has worked with people from all walks of life and ages from diverse backgrounds.  Amanda is also a Certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide by the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy; a Certified Heart Math Practitioner; a Certified Mindfulness-Based Ecotherapist; and a Certified Life Coach, with a specialty in Spiritual Direction. Amanda currently offers both counseling and nature-based services through a branch of Elizabethton Counseling and Arts Center, located at Shakti in the Mountains, in Johnson City, Tennessee.  Within her practice, Amanda specializes in what she calls Psycho-Spiritual Counseling, a blend of traditional psychotherapy or "talk therapy", outdoor or nature connection experiences, and spiritual direction or guidance. In addition to her counseling services, Amanda offers seasonal forest bathing experiences, which are guided nature walks, inspired by the Japanese practice of "shinrin-yoku," an outdoor practice that opens doors for physical and mental system regulation and relaxation and a reconnection to Mother Earth.  Amanda also offers workshops and facilitates community talks on various subjects, such as Spiritual Awakenings, How to Age with Grace and Gusto, the Hidden Powers of the Highly Sensitive Person, Animal Communication, and Embracing the Inner Child. She also hosts and guides a local monthly group that explores the nature of reality and spirituality.  Amanda's personal story of spiritual awakening will be coming out in a soon-to-be published nonfiction anthology, What Happened Next: Stories of Life Altering Encounters, and she is currently working on her memoir.  Amanda is a proud native of her community and loves sharing the magic of what nature and spirit can do for our hearts, bodies, and minds. When not working, Amanda can be found spending time with her granddaughter or just sitting in silence in her backyard woods, listening to the birds and watching the deer and squirrels, and the occasional neighborhood bear.  To learn more about Amanda Chapman and her work, please visit: https://www.oneforestworld.com/

Send Us a Message!Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald share a grounded, beginner-friendly approach to sacred tantra that puts presence first, not technique, performance, or perfection. We talk about tantra as an experiential path of expanding aliveness by combining conscious awareness with energy flow, then moving that energy through three keys you can practice anytime: breath, sound, and movement.We also clear up a common misconception: tantra isn't only for couples and Shiva and Shakti aren't gender labels. They're inner principles that live in every person. When we learn to sense what's happening inside us, we get more honest about what we want, what we fear, and where our boundaries are. That self-awareness makes it easier to communicate without collapsing into people-pleasing, defensiveness, or shame. From there, intimacy becomes what it's meant to be: seeing and being seen, knowing and being known.You'll get a simple guided practice to help you land in your feet, track sensation, add sound, invite the spine into movement, and notice what changes when you slow down and stay present. We also talk about the real skill of the work: returning when you lose presence, and using that moment as a pathway back to connection. We close with ways to go deeper through upcoming offerings, including:

On this episode of Knew Amsterdam Radio, I sit down with AI automation advisor and business risk expert Bhuva Shakti to talk about what it really means to bring AI into the workplace—and what businesses get wrong when they rush to adopt it. We get into risk, resistance, innovation, and the human side of navigating massive technological change. As always, we're not just talking about the how, but the why and what it takes to actually make things happen.

Lalita Tripura Sundari embodies the union of sacred sexuality and spiritual experience, inviting us to explore the balance between the material and spiritual realms. Known as Sri Vidya, she represents the pure desire, joy, and wisdom of embodiment. Her sensual form, marked by red silk and radiant beauty, symbolises the balance between creative and sustaining forces, with her seat on a red lotus growing from Shiva's navel.In yoga, she represents the dynamic force of Shakti and the stillness of Shiva, guiding us to merge sensuality and spirituality. Lalita dissolves societal shame around sensuality, teaching us to embrace our bodies and desires as pathways to deeper wisdom and liberation. Her teachings encourage us to channel desire toward growth, revealing that life is both sweet and sacred when spirituality and erotic energy are in harmony.In today's practice, let Lalita's energy guide you to release judgment and embrace the sacred force of desire through each movement and breath.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Today's episode is another behind-the-scenes look, this time inside my 200-hour Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training. This teaching comes from the Feminine Form Kundalini module, where we unpack what we mean by feminine energy. In yoga, tantra, and Kundalini, feminine energy isn't about gender or identity. It's archetypal energy, the Shakti current within all of us. In this clip, I explore Shiva and Shakti, the light and dark feminine, and why both matter. I'll also look at how feminine energy becomes blocked, through over-control, disconnection from desire, difficulty receiving, and lack of boundaries. Inside this episode, I explore:

In Tantra and yoga, the Mahavidyas serve as mirrors for self-reflection and transformation. Kali, the first Mahavidya, embodies the raw power of Shakti, ushering in creation, time, and transformation. Her fierce energy teaches us that change is essential, urging us to shed old selves and release limiting beliefs, fears, and attachments. Kali encourages us to confront our shadows... anger, pride, and arrogance... and dissolve the shame tied to them, seeing them as sources of growth.Depicted with a garland of skulls and a sword of divine knowledge, Kali cuts through ignorance, helping us transcend the ego. Her energy, while intense, invites radical transformation and liberation. Shiva, the still awareness, harmonizes Kali's dynamic power. Their union represents the balance between creation and destruction, movement and stillness. In our practice, we invoke Kali's imagery to release old patterns, confront fear, and embrace renewal, supported by Shiva's grounding presence.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

In this series, we will explore the ten Hindu Goddesses, or Mahavidya, through their iconography and energies, reflecting both light and shadow within ourselves. Our approach honors the cultural significance of these deities, deepening our understanding of yoga's spiritual roots.At the heart of yoga and Tantra is the union of Shiva, pure consciousness, and Shakti, creative energy. Shiva's stillness witnesses the dynamic movements of life, while Shakti is the force that sustains and dissolves the universe. These energies are inseparable, and their union fuels all creation.Through asanas, pranayama, and meditation, we harmonize Shiva's stillness with Shakti's energy, awakening our true nature. As Shakti rises through the chakras to unite with Shiva, a profound spiritual awakening occurs. Our practice will embody their cosmic dance, where each movement is a reflection of creation and consciousness merging. This journey inspires bliss, contentment, and self-awareness, honouring the divine interplay within us.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

At 18, Maya Tiwari was given a death sentence — six months to live. Instead, she spent six months alone in the Vermont woods, and came back a different person entirely. That single decision set her on a path that led through 25 years as a Vedic monk, a pioneering role bringing Ayurveda to North America, and now, a new book calling women — and men — back to a power she says we've forgotten how to hold.In this conversation, Maya and Brian explore Shakti — the divine feminine primordial power — and Shiva, its masculine counterpart, and why she believes restoring balance between the two is the work of this moment, both individually and collectively. They talk about the patriarchal roots of Western religion, what it costs us to lose touch with the sacred feminine, and what it actually looks like to start reclaiming it.About Maya TiwariMaya Tiwari is a spiritual teacher, humanitarian, and the pioneer who introduced Ayurveda to North America. A cancer survivor and former Vedic monk, she is the author of several books, including her newest release, I Am Shakti. Her work centers on self-knowledge (Vedanta), the healing science of Ayurveda, and restoring the divine feminine and masculine to balance.

True spiritual growth occurs when we shift our focus from external forms—relationships, possessions, and passing circumstances—to the inner flow of spiritual energy (Shakti). Happiness and love do not come from controlling life; they arise naturally when we stop blocking the inner energy flow through resisting life’s experiences. Every experience in life, pleasant or unpleasant, offers an opportunity for spiritual growth if we remain open. Once we learn to honor the natural movement of inner energy, we can live with greater joy, love, freedom, and continuous spiritual awakening. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer.

This episode starts with a comment from a viewer: 35 years old, a long-term abusive relationship behind her, grief she can't move, a sense that the years aged her faster than they should have. Silvana takes that question seriously and goes somewhere most spiritual teachers won't.The answer runs through Black Tantra, specifically through Dhumavati, the widow goddess of the Mahavidyas. She is the goddess who ate Shiva. She has no wheels. She sits in desolation and asks you to stop pretending there's a way to make this okay. If you've been told to forgive and vibrate higher and your body still feels like a site of something that happened to it, this episode is worth your time.Silvana walks through a two-phase process. Phase one is full permission to feel what's there: grief, rage, hatred, all of it, through the body, with support, without spiritually bypassing any of it. Phase two is the reclamation: aura sealing, a cleansing season, boundaries that are actually non-negotiable, the gradual return to your body as a compass rather than a threat, and reconnecting with the Shakti that abuse systematically cuts you off from. She references Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self-Defense" on energetic protection, pulls in the myths of Inanna and Persephone as maps for descent and return, and covers the eighth house in astrology as the domain of trauma, depth psychology, and real power.If this episode surfaces something you've been sitting with for a long time, and you're ready to build the spiritual structure that lets you move from there: https://silvanaisaza.com/mentorship/

In this satsang, Shunyamurti exposes atheism not merely as disbelief in God but as disbelief in one's own true Self. The soul's suffering begins when consciousness becomes trapped in the ego's narratives of lack, fear, abandonment, and separation. Cut off from divine love, the heart closes, the mind becomes restless, and life turns into an endless search for fulfillment in things that can never satisfy. Drawing on the symbolism of the sacred cow, the power of Shakti, and the highest teachings of nonduality, Shunyamurti explains how grace gradually dissolves the false self and restores the soul to its natural state of peace and wholeness. Through three approaches—the Hard Style of willpower, the Soft Style of surrender, and the Supreme Style of recognizing that all is God—he shows that liberation comes not from improving the ego but from awakening to the changeless presence of the Self.

Why do the world's great spiritual traditions teach through stories, imagery, and metaphor instead of simple instructions? In this episode, I'll explore why metaphor changes us in a way facts alone cannot and how imagery bypasses the analytical mind to speak directly to the nervous system, imagination, memory, and body. Building on Part 1, we'll dive deeper into Tantra's vision of awakening as a love story between Shiva and Shakti: awareness and energy, stillness and sensation, consciousness and embodiment. I'll explore:

What separates the founders who build category-defining companies from the thousands of startups that never make it through the venture capital funnel? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Keval Desai, founder and General Partner of Shakti, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in AI and space technology companies from inception. Drawing on his experience backing companies including Canva, The RealReal, and Gatik, Keval shares how he evaluates founders before the rest of the market recognizes their potential and why the venture capital industry needs to confront some uncomfortable truths about startup funding and successful exits. Keval introduces Shakti's "toothbrush" investment philosophy, an idea he first encountered through Larry Page at Google. The principle is simple: can a product or service become something used frequently by millions or even billions of people? He explains why this question helps investors distinguish impressive technology from businesses capable of creating lasting value, particularly at a time when thousands of AI startups are competing for capital and attention. But identifying a large market is only part of the equation. Keval shares three characteristics he has observed in exceptional founders. They can describe a future that others cannot yet see, attract talented people before they have money or resources, and execute at a speed that continually surprises those around them. His stories from meeting Canva co-founder Melanie Perkins and The RealReal founder Julie Wainwright offer a rare look at what investors can learn from founders at the earliest stages of company building. We also discuss Keval's thesis that AI is taking the economy into a new Imagination Era. As AI becomes increasingly capable of handling specialized tasks such as coding, analysis, and production, he believes human value will move toward imagination, judgment, taste, and the ability to combine technologies into products and services people actually want. For founders, employees, and business leaders, this raises important questions about education, careers, and what it means to build a company as access to technical capabilities becomes dramatically cheaper. Keval also compares the arrival of open-source AI models such as DeepSeek to the role Linux played in the development of the commercial internet. He explains why falling inference costs could lower barriers to building AI companies and create opportunities for a new generation of startups, while also examining what this could mean for today's dominant AI companies and the industry's economics. The conversation then turns to one of the biggest problems facing venture capital. The number of startups receiving funding has grown dramatically, yet the number of technology companies reaching public markets has remained relatively static. Keval explains why venture capital can scale dollars but cannot simply manufacture more category leaders, and why founders need to decide early whether venture capital is actually the right source of funding for the business they want to build. We also examine the commercial opportunities emerging from space technology. Keval believes the SpaceX IPO could play a similar role for space commerce to Amazon's IPO for e-commerce, by demonstrating viable business models and encouraging entrepreneurs to build new companies in communications, energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, robotics, and services beyond Earth. Finally, Keval offers an optimistic counterargument to fears that AI will leave younger workers without meaningful careers. He explains why he believes Gen Z's status as the first AI-native generation could become an advantage, why technical careers are changing rather than disappearing, and why the ability to apply AI to problems across healthcare, manufacturing, agriculture, finance, and other industries could create opportunities far beyond Silicon Valley. This conversation offers founders a practical framework for evaluating ideas, choosing investors, understanding venture economics, and building companies in the age of AI. It also provides investors and technology leaders with a broader perspective on open-source AI, space commerce, the future of work, and where the next generation of category-defining companies could come from.

In our practice, asana becomes a tool to harness vital energy, guiding us toward healing, clarity, and transformation. Through Yoga, we gain insight into our body, mind, and consciousness, fostering self-understanding. This leads us to inquire into what is awake and conscious within us, as we seek purpose and meaning.The 5 Powers of Shakti are integral to understanding our spiritual potential.

Send us Fan MailSesason 4: The New EarthEpisode Summary"The Law of Mother" is a call to spiritual awakening and planetary transition. The episode argues that humanity has severely damaged its connection to the sacred "Divine Feminine" or "Mother" frequency through systemic cruelty, institutional deception, and technological manipulation. However, it declares that the Mother force has risen to dismantle these corrupted "3D matrix" systems, inviting humanity to elevate its vibration, transcend to a 5D consciousness, and co-create a "New Earth."Key Themes & Takeaways1. The Power and Definition of "Mother"A Cosmic Frequency: "Mother" is defined not as a gender, but as Shakti—the fierce, manifestation power and innate intelligence of creation.Inclusivity of the Divine Feminine: Quoting Amelia Singanewsong, the transcript notes that the Goddess Mother is carried not just by women, but also by men who embody spiritual depth, emotional intelligence, and conscious creation.The Rise of Fierce Power: Represented by the force of Kali, the Mother is depicted as actively destroying the false structures, lies, and systems of enslavement built by "dark forces," guaranteeing an ultimate spiritual victory.2. Critiques of Modern Society (The "Damaged Truth")The transcript highlights three primary areas where humanity has allegedly strayed from cosmic truth:The Animal-Industrial Complex: Criticizes the global slaughter of over 100 billion land animals annually for food, highlighting a hypocrisy in how society protects pets while ignoring the mass termination of livestock.The Industrial Pharma/Medical Complex: Accuses the pharmaceutical industry of weaponizing normal human emotions and rhythms by labeling them as pathologies, claiming it functions as a "chemical warfare" that causes massive loss of life and disconnects the brain from cosmic intelligence.The 3D Matrix & Ideology: Argues that the current societal simulation floods the environment with electromagnetic pollution, low-vibrational triggers (fear/anxiety), and false ideologies—specifically citing gender-affirming medical interventions on minors as a symptom of a detached and institutionalized system.3. The Cosmic Shift and Galactic AlignmentEarth's Cleansing: Mentions physical and cosmic shifts, including the planetary trajectory of a second Earth planet, causing deep self-cleansing on Earth.Transition to 5D: Humanity is urged to shed lower-ego vibrations and immediately transcend to a 5D frequency to build the "New Earth," where human sentiency and the "Law of Mother" will be permanently safeguarded.Galactic Perspective: Features a quote from Commander Ashtar Sheran of the Galactic Federation Fleet, emphasizing that being human requires conscious participation, the exercise of free will, and choosing influences of love, courage, and wisdom over fear and manipulation.Final MessageThe episode concludes with an urgent spiritual directive: humanity must clear its lens of truth, choose love over survival-based fears, align with the "Christos frequency," and fulfill a perennial vow to never again take life, the human heart, or the Earth for granted.Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity. She stresses the importance of kindness, inner stillness, and compassionate self-  tools for healing individuals and society. www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.comMothermaya@gmail.comGet Maya's New Book: I Am  Shakti:https://www.collectiveinkbooks.com/o-books/our-books/I-am-shaktiAmazon.comBookshop.org

Kundilini Shakti Ka Prabhav Aur Iswarprapti : Pujya Sant Shri Asharamji Bapu Satsang

In this deeply intimate and expansive episode of This Cosmic Life, I sit down with the beautiful and mysterious Nickie Jean for a profound conversation on sacred sexuality, tantra, womb healing, divine union, and the Cosmic Mother.Together, we explore sexuality beyond performance, beyond conditioning, and beyond shame as a path of devotion, embodiment, healing, prayer, and awakening. Nickie shares her journey through kundalini awakening, years of celibacy, Red Tantra initiation, temple arts, endocrine alchemy, and the deep purification that comes through walking the path of sacred sexual rites.We speak about the connection between the throat and the womb, the healing of masculine sexuality, the power of play within intimacy, oracle consciousness, and becoming a vessel for the divine spark to move through the body.This conversation moves between the mystical and the deeply human — weaving together Inanna, Goddess Nut, astral light, ego death, sacred partnership, breath, voice, and the remembrance that our bodies themselves are living temples.Timestamps 00:01 Sacred Sexuality as Prayer04:12 Kundalini, Celibacy & Purification11:49 Red Tantra & Initiation27:38 The Throat, the Womb & Sacred Sound32:06 Womb Healing & Archetypal Awakening49:51 Healing Masculine Sexuality56:17 Yab Yum & Conscious Relationship63:56 Sexual Rites & the Cosmic Mother67:26 Inanna, Goddess Nut & Divine Union80:09 Closing Oracle TransmissionResources & Links:Womb Awakening by Azra and Serene BertrandDiana Richardson's books "Slow Sex" and "The Heart of Tantric Sex"Askanda Natha Mystery School ( Nickie Jean's Website) My guest Nickie Jean is a priestess, Tantrica, womb healer, and founder of the Askanda Nata Mystery School in Los Angeles. For over a decade, she has devoted herself to the study of sacred sexuality, temple arts, endocrine alchemy, and the mysteries of the Divine Feminine. Through ceremony, ritual, womb healing, and sacred sensuality practices, she guides others into deeper relationship with their bodies, their life force, and the divine spark that lives within all creation.I'm Tara Samadhi, and it is my joy to welcome you into This Cosmic Life. I walk a path as a mystic, a spiritual friend, an oracle, and a lover of the sacred. My own journey has been shaped by deep devotion and radical healing, and along the way I have gathered wisdom from Umbandaime, Sacred Medicines, Tibetan Buddhism, Esoteric Hindu Traditions, Non Dual Shaiva Tantra, sound alchemy, and the ancient mystery schools.This podcast is a space where we weave those threads together, not as concepts but as living practices that open our hearts and awaken the Shakti within us. Through mantra, through sound, and through soul filled conversation, we remember that we are divine beings having a human experience.Here, nothing is outside of the sacred. We come together to explore the pathless path, the wild and mysterious unfolding of transformation, devotion, and awakening. My prayer is that this space becomes a sanctuary where you feel seen, inspired, and invited to walk deeper into the truth of who you are.Website: https://tarasamadhi.com/ Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/tarasamadhi/⁠
