Part one – inner work: start asking the questions

• How am I connected to the world?
• How can I gain clarity about my place in the world?
• How can I better support the world?

The thousand petal lotus involves your experience with your divinity. It’s a deep dive into the non-physical realm of that which is beyond your soul.

One must see the beauty and the potency of something greater than themselves and all things – opening up to synchronicities and divine timing. Sahasrara is recognition that we are powerful beings who exist in a multitude of timelines and realities simultaneously.

It is here that we shed the illusion of the physical body.

Part two: implementing behaviours in daily life that reflect on inner work

Learn from obstacles and illusions:

We (with connection to God), shape our own reality.

Gatekeepers of the upper realms (Guru’s, yoga masters) who have access to these other realms and will initiate people when they have a certain level of dedication to the practice. 

Those guru’s and teachers become beacons of light for divinity to come through. With this process, there is the preparation and the initiation.

It’s not uncommon to knock on the door of enlightened masters and you have to be humble if they do not answer. Your deliberate desire and dedication to focus on these chakras and the person who is holding this space for you will shift your life and begin to move any stagnancy as you integrate the lessons of the chakras.

Trust that your physicality will be taken care of so that you can move into something bigger than yourself.
