The Dance Of Stillness: Exploring the Nature of Spiritual Awakening ~ Featuring Master Charles Cannon, Dr Richard Moss, David Spero and Swami Shankaracharya - Softcover

Richard M. Moss, David Spero, Master Charles Cannon, and Swami Shankaracharya. This book contains intimate encounters with four modern spiritual mentors who have each undergone a radical process of "energetic" spiritual awakening, often termed Kundalini Awakening and who each teach with a strong emphasis on the awakening of the deeper energies inherent in Consciousness. In a way the spiritual teachers featured herein are the modern equivalent of the ancient Tantric Masters of the East. Energetic Spiritual Awakening is the movement of the innate spiritual energy (Life Force) dwelling within all human beings. It is, quite literally - the Dance of Stillness, the decent of grace, bringing about in its wake the dissolution of the small sense of self (ego) into the Infinite Ocean of Being (True Nature) and the subsequent full embodiment of that Divine Awakening in daily life. As the process of conducting the intimate interviews featured in this book unfolded, (during a month long trip to the USA from Australia) a unique pattern emerged. During pivotal periods of their awakenings, each of the teachers had been graced with a profound encounter with the Divine Feminine. While the Divine Feminine, as such, is not the specific focus of this book, it does form an intrinsic part of the total weave, and is indeed a deep undercurrent theme in the spiritual journeys of each of the teachers featured herein. In this uncommon book you will come to see that there is no one set fixed pattern to the awakening process. You will gain a glimpse into the mystery of the Divine Feminine, Mother Shakti, as She unfolds her power within these four unique spiritual aspirants. Bringing in her wake, the dissolution of the small sense of self, into the fathomless ocean of Life Itself, Here Now!

David Rivers is a modern Tantric Yogi, a writer, an artist, a father and spiritual journalist. In his early twenties he was profoundly impacted by a sudden and unexpected spiritual awakening, an awakening to the fundamental ground of Being, which consequently birthed a powerful flow of subtle life energy known as Kundalini. His spiritual journey has been filled with paradox, with bliss and pain co-existing in equal measure, in a kind of dance between darkness and light. He currently resides in Australia, where he continues to deepen his spiritual practice. He offers workshops and residential retreats in Australia dedicated to the creative exploration of spiritual awakening in the context of daily life.
