have used the word womb many times, and have sometimes included the word hara for men. Men, please do not feel left out: I have seen many a man who begins to refer to his hara as his womb, and is transformed in the process. If we choose to harness the tremendous power of the womb we can use it to birth ourselves regardless of gender.

Shiva without Shakti is ideas without passion, thought without the ability to manifest or flow. Shakti without Shiva is life force with no direction or form to go into: chaos. In the living dance between the two, we (and our world) are created. In recent times, the power of Shakti has been forgotten as more masculine ideas and structures have taken precedence.

To express Shakti is to freely be who you are, and all that you can be in your highest potential. The greatest achievements and greatest happiness come to those who are not stopped by what others think about them. Rather, they follow their hearts first and foremost, even if they feel judged for it.

The Shakti Circuit Opening to the Essence of Shakti

THE SHAKTI CIRCUIT HAS BEEN practiced and taught in the Isis Mystery School for thousands of years, and is being revealed now to ignite the renaissance of the Divine Feminine on Earth.

THE EIGHTEEN PATHWAYS The eighteen pathways of the Shakti Circuit are pathways of love, power, and wisdom flowing through the body, connecting each human being in the physical world through many dimensions of consciousness to the Galactic Womb, or Galactic Center.

Duality is an artful reminder of how we can be whole. When we are reminded of duality in our own life, thoughts, actions, and relationships, we are reminded also of our own innate nature of unity. Duality becomes our greatest ally, our greatest friend, in serving to show us the moments when we are not aligned to love.

The Grail and all the secrets of creation lie right within your belly. Contemplate this for a moment. Heaven on Earth is a perception, a perception unveiled when we realize what lies right inside of us, not just as a metaphysical platitude, but as an experiential fact we can feel every day. This is an amazing and wondrous reality that we take for granted.

Physically, the eighteen pathways purge, refine, and regenerate you, dissolving old cellular memories and debris, recalibrating your physical body into deeper communion with the other aspects of your being to allow for more thorough embodiment of your soul.

Mentally, the eighteen pathways bring you into the present moment, deleting old patterns, rewiring the mental body, and relocating your center of gravity away from the mind into its natural place: the womb and heart united, with the mind a servant and ally.
