The wisdom of the Mahavidyas, the ten wisdom goddesses who
represent the interconnected darkness and light within all of us,
has been steeped in esoteric and mystical descriptions that made
them seem irrelevant to ordinary life. In this book, written by a
respected cardiologist who found herself on a spiritual search for
the highest truth, you're invited to explore this ancient knowledge
and learn how it can be applied to daily struggles and triumphs as
well as how it can help you find unreserved self-love and
acceptance. The pursuit of contentment is an innate part of the
human experience, arising from a fundamental sense of lack or
inadequacy-all the things we believe to be wrong with us when we
compare or judge ourselves. In our search for peace and happiness,
we may find ourselves fighting the shadows within us, trying to
repress or disown certain qualities, especially our anger,
violence, discomfort, craving, and disappointment. But in order to
stop this fight, we must expand our understanding beyond the
dualities of good versus bad, right versus wrong, and beautiful
versus ugly, and accept the parts of ourselves we've tried to deny.
Pulling from Eastern traditions including tantra and yoga, and
focusing on the feminine principle of divine energy also known as
Shakti, this book bridges the divide between dualistic concepts and
non-dual philosophy. By exploring the symbolism of the Mahavidyas
(Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari, Tripura Bhairavi,
Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Baglamukhi, Matangi, and Kamalatmika) -
each with a veiled face representing a destructive quality that
perpetuates ignorance and suffering, and a true face representing
the wisdom that stimulates profound transformation and liberation -
you'll learn to embrace and incorporate every aspect of who you
are. With practices, self-inquiry prompts, and stories from the
author's own spiritual seeking, this exploration of the divine
feminine will gently reveal the source of your fear, pain, and
suffering, showing you that when you allow those parts of yourself
to arise and simply be, you can finally begin to heal, overcome
your limitations, and open to the light and beauty of your true
nature
Have you ever done nondual inquiry and said to yourself, "I
understand it intellectually but I don't feel it. It's not my
experience " If so, The Direct Path could be for you. This book is
the "missing manual" to the Direct Path. For the first time in
print, Direct-Path inquiry is presented from beginning to end and
beyond, in a "user-friendly" way. The core of the book is a set of
40 experiments designed to help dissolve the most common nondual
sticking points from simple to subtle. The experiments cover the
world, the body, the mind, abstract objects and witnessing
awareness. You are taken step by step from the simple perception of
a physical object all the way to the collapse of the witness into
pure consciousness. Your "take-away" is that there's no
experiential doubt that you and all things are awareness, openness
and love. Also included are three tables of contents,
illustrations, an index, and a section on teaching and the notion
of a "post-nondual realization." This book can be utilized on its
own or as a companion volume to the author's Standing as Awareness.
