There are three paths to enlightenment. The first is cultivating the knowing or feeling of being Shiva. The second path is to fill your mind with the energy of Consciousness by doing more mantra. The third path is to delve into the yoga practices that you resonate with. Most importantly, the support and guidance of a Master will help you on your path to enlightenment.

You are an individual form of Consciousness, with the whole of Consciousness intact within you. The One becomes many, so that each of the many can come to know their own Self as the One. When you know your own Self you can face reality as it is. In this being and seeing there’s no duality, there’s no delusion. What freedom! Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Your thoughts and feelings affect your pranic field, and your pranic field determines the condition of your physical body. Your mind is so powerful it can delude you for lifetimes. But it can also free you from delusion. As you delve inward, you discover that your mind comes from a more powerful level of inner perception. It is always dependent on the Self. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Your mind lives in multiple realities simultaneously. Unfortunately, this is called delusion. The fictional events in your mind are real. They have real effects on your mind and body. When you are not yet enlightened, you think God is separate from you. This is called duality. But there is only One Divine Reality, who is the source and substance of all that exists.

If all you ever do is familiar stuff, the rest of your life will be a replay of what you’ve done so far. Is this what you want? Or do you want something more? People sometimes tell me it feels weird, it’s strange. Yes. It means you aren’t who you used to be. And you’re not yet who you’re going to be. You’re in a process and you… - Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here

Yoga says your body is the outermost layer of your own individual presence here on earth. Your prana, or life force, makes your body be a living, breathing body. You are the One Divine Reality who has taken on a body in order to live in this world and have experiences. And there is more to you! Discover your multidimensionality beyond your body and breath. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Most people invest a tremendous amount of mental and emotional energy in fear and desire. And when their desire is thwarted, they get angry. So, they are either anxious or angry most of the time. Sometimes even both anxious and angry, at the same time. But with yoga, your anxiety goes down. Your desires are... - Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here

Yoga says that your feeling of being separate, unique, and different is what causes all your pain. The power of Consciousness produces many forms, each one feeling separate from the One Formless Reality. But everything is made of the One Formless Reality. And that One Divine Reality is being you. Right now, and always. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Your energy field, your aura, extends beyond the edges of your body. It enlivens and sustains your physical body, but it depends on how your energies are flowing, which is a function of your mind. Yoga’s goal is Self-Knowingness, which gives you the bliss, as well as the mastery of your mind, your energies, and your body. Read Gurudevi's Teachings Article in our Freebies

The way out is the way in. Once that inner door has been opened for you, you can see inward to a whole new level. You can feel your way. You can find your way in there, which is in here. And once that inner door is opened… - Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here

As an individual, you are a contracted form of Consciousness, so you don’t experience the fullness of your inherent bliss and Divinity all the time. At least not yet. You are already Shiva, but you don’t live in the Knowingness and Beingness that you are. Can you see your own light and feel your inherent beingness while living your life? Yoga makes it possible. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

Your own inner light is the light of Consciousness. The bliss of Consciousness is your birthright. You get to choose how to use the creative power of Consciousness. You can bring that light into every corner of your life. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

It was yoga that gave me the ability to see beyond the blame game. As my gaze lifted up out of my past, even out of my future, and turned inward, I discovered dimensionality and resiliency I had never dreamed of. It was clear to me that I could point to someone specific for this... - Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here

You already are perfection incarnate. The whole of Consciousness is within you. Your destiny is to live in the knowing of your own Divine perfection in every moment. The process of discovering your inherent perfection is one of expanding inward. Let yoga show you the way inside to who you really are. – Gurudevi Nirmalananda Join Gurudevi online at her next Meditation Program

The purpose of yoga is to empower your discovery that the whole of Consciousness is hidden within you. The goal is to discover your own source, so you can enjoy the bliss of Consciousness while embodied. You are fully, wholly, and completely made of light. You truly are more than you think you are.

You must experience Self in order to know Self. But where is it? What color is it? How big is this thing we call Self? It’s inside. It has no color and all colors, and beyond color. It’s bigger than the universe, but fully inside you. And it is not… - Gurudevi Nirmalananda Listen to Gurudevi’s full discourse here
