Shakti
Shakti teaches the art of meditation and the ancient secrets of heightened awareness to help you have a happier, more fulfilling life.
Shakti has been meditating most of her life. Her teacher was an Enlightened Zen Master and came into her life as a young adult. She was taught the ancient secrets of the masters that had come before, knowledge acquired from thousands of years in the practice of meditation. Through his teachings, Shakti developed a deeper understanding of mindfulness through meditation.
She is now passing the teachings on to you.
There is much to learn and explore in mastering your meditation practice. Many points of interest speak to a diverse humanity!
Shakti teaches about many of these points of interest including "How To Live and Work In the World", "How To Get, Use and Not Lose Power and Energy", and most importantly, "How to Love".
