Energy = Consciousness
When the disciple is ready
The master Guru arrives
And when the disciple becomes a Guru
The master Guru leaves
Then you can fly
Then you are free
Understand the Guru inside you
Understand that you are God
Surrender to him
And go towards enlightenment
Then you become your own master
Then, you are free
Understand:
You
Are
The Guru
Aha!
Poème de Kundun / Poem by Kundun
“Reveals tantra’s most central and powerful aspect: converting sexual energy into a higher, consciousness-altering vitality. Must reading for all who aspire to a spiritual way of life and are wondering just where sex fits in.”
Georg Feuerstein, author of Sacred Sexuality
“Sovatsky’s fascinating and highly readable work belongs to the new sexual revolution, which pays due attention to the spiritual context of our lives.”
Yoga Journal
“Extraordinary excursion into the realm of Tantric celibacy provides a surprisingly tantalizing portrait of the power and passion of true erotic awareness. Sovatsky’s book gives new meaning to the experience of eros and relationship while opening a door to a spiritual dimension we would never have achieved under ordinary circumstances.”
Napra Trade Journal
“Tantra is widely and grossly misunderstood in the West. In Eros, Consciousness, and Kundalini Dr. Sovatsky provides a much-needed corrective, revealing Tantra’s most powerful aspect: the conversion of sexual energy into a higher consciousness-altering vitality.”
Stuart Sovatsky, Ph.D., has been a practitioner of kundalini yoga for twenty-four years and is the director of two psychotherapy clinics in the San Francisco Bay Area. A former presenter at the World Congress on Sexology in India and the International Kundalini Research Network, he teaches at JFK University and the California Institute of Integral Studies.
Around the globe, Kundalini energy is on the rise.
From Olympic athletes and celebrities in Vogue magazine who are practicing Kundalini Yoga to an increased number of spiritual healers and seekers who are reporting spontaneous “kundalini awakenings.”

Kundalini Rising offers 26 essays from some of today’s most prominent voices to answer these questions and more.
A four-part anthology, this indispensable book shares practices and insights that shed light on this ancient and often mysterious phenomenon.

This degree allows for opening of the energy canal.
Before Level 1 training begins, a first contact must be made by telephone.
The trainer has neither a gift, nor a power, and is not a god. He is simply a channel for the universal energy of life.
Energy healing is not a cult or a religion; it is apolitical.
The first level may also be given to children.
With a minimum of 5 participants, the initiation may be given in your home, to your family, amongst your friends, or even in your company.
The next dates for level 1 energy healing courses are:
Here is a link to the training site in Belgium: http://www.ardennes-resorts.com/lodges/les-contes-de-salme/ . It is also possible to stay overnight.
The site is 800m from the Vielsalm train station, which has a direct connection to the Liège station (1 hour duration) from Paris (a 3 hour trip).
The goal of Infinite Love’s school of universal healing is to train not only future therapists and practitioners in the service of humanity, but also anyone seeking personal progress and fulfillment, as well as wishing to spend time sharing with others in an open and communal setting. Any honest person can learn how to heal, awaken, and find peace through different initiations and trainings.
Throughout my life I have received a number of teachings and initiations. They were all enriching, effective, and based on ancient teachings, revisited over time. There are so many names to describe energy: Mana, Qi, Chi, Kundalini,… So many disciplines that come from the same source: Reiki, Magnetism, Tai-chi, Reconnection… There are so many techniques, so many systems, and so many protocols with one common purpose: Well-being, Health, Peace, and Self-fulfillment.
Now is the time for reunification and simplicity. This is how I will transmit the art of being from now on. For we return to this source of energy when we simply are.
My approach is to help you connect to this source and let it express itself within you according to your unique needs. My goal is to help you find your path and the tools that suit you the best. Infinite Love’s teachings are constantly evolving and compatible with your present situation.
The courses will combine different healing arts in order to connect directly to the source. You will learn not only how to approach this source, but also how to be this source and how to transmit the means to become the source.
The training in energy healing is organized in 4 levels:
We also offer full-day meditation workshops and initiations or introductions to consciousness meditation

First a little explanation is needed to defining the Shaktipat: the awakening of the kundalini through the Guru (means Master in India). Shaktipat is a secret way to awaken the Kundalini Shakti of the disciple by the power of a Guru who normally has sworn in a line. Only sincere seekers are qualified to receive such an initiation. Because the characteristics of all other methods of Yoga, based on individual effort, begin to occur spontaneously after awakening and activation by Shaktipat, this method is called Maha Yoga, Yoga large.
Shaktipat is the traditional method by which a Guru awaken you spiritually.
Experience feedback about shaktipat initiation
After reading the book “The Yoga Shaktipat” by Ravindra Kumar I got interested more deeply on the subject, something drawing me, calling me. After some Internet searches I realized there was a lot of gurus performing the shaktipat (the author of The Yoga Shaktipat although warn the reader of the difficulty of finding a real Master) whose initiation is carried out in Belgium and France, so I contacted directly the person shown on the website for more information: He proved in this case that this shaktipat was made by video conference because the Guru couldn’t move cause of the very important disciple receiving initiation. I do not review this approach and how to do, but I do not feel at all attracted to this approach and have therefore continued my search and finally drop onto the page where there was a lot of testimony that seemed sincere and very positive, always ending by thanking the Master to be awake. I directly contacted the Master: “Yogi Madan Gautam” after reading all the testimony. He answered all my questions with great ease (he also made clear that I do not need any preparation or knowledge of specific meditation or anything) and invited me to come to India to receive my initiation if such was my desire. I agreed directly and took my steps to be able to come join him two months later.
When I arrived at Yogi Madan Gautam (near dheli around 2am) I received a warm welcome, his wife gurumai (name given to the wife of a Lord) made us tea and we sat there talking.Yogi madan explained the specific ways to meditate during and after the initiation which differs widely from all the technique I have approached till now.He explained me the nature of things, human relations and the way of finding a balance always by refering to nature and animals. He explained me as well what a good Guru is: he never ask money for shaktipat initiation, he is there to awaken the disciple and never impose anything, a Guru always watch over the disciples and remains in constant contact with them to guide them … We talked about many other things but it would take too long to recount here.
This exciting conversation ended around 7:30 am, then he asked me if I was still in shape to begin a meditation. To my surprise I was not tired at all (after more or less the 24 hours of travel) and approved.
Yogi madan asked me to put myself in a comfortable position and begin meditation with closed eyes and to let come the different reaction and expression of the body. After a moment I began to move, shake and then sing a mantra that came to me instinctively (which I already knew) “om namah sivaya”
I must say I felt nothing special, except a lot of freedom, serenity and gentle pressure to the third eye. I should also clarify that I never meditate more than half an hour in a row but here the time passed so quickly without any psychological resistance.
After meditation Yogi madan said that my Shaktipat would be done quickly, that I was well prepared. And by doing 2-3 sessions during 3 days the initiation should be done. He said he also knew that my approach was sincere and that after the initiation he recommended me to meditate at least 1 hour per day and should be between 6 months and years to except the rise of Kundalini and have my channel fully open. Our conversation finished around 12pm and I went to sleep for 2h.
Again I let me go, the automatic movement quickly began, Yogi madan put music during each session (this is optional), it carried me with the singing of the Guru and that of Gurumai. I moved and turned like a spin on myself but kept my lotus position, my movements were sometimes a resonance, then I shouted: “Om Shivaya” on the rhythm of the music. They were throwing flower petals and I suddenly smelt a strange odor.
I began meditating alone in the lotus position on the ground as usual in the lounge. For the first time in the quiet, with my hands I touched my chakras and the injected energy gave answers. My meditation deepens with the time and energy was clearly felt. After a while I went to sit in the chair because my position was becoming uncomfortable. The movement began slowly, Guru madan arrived to give further impetus to the movement, he also put strong pressure on the third eye. The movements now deeply installed were running this session to a showdown until the congratulated hits me, emotions came out through my eyes, my body started to shake , I could not continue the automatic movements (the music was glorious). The trembling and tears flowed until that settles the calm and joy. Then I began to dance to thank the universal force and finally I inclined to my master.
Start on the ground in the lotus position, as usual the automatic movements quickly took their place, then I began to breathe rapidly and I felt an intense vibration but very short. Around half of the session I went to sit on the chair and I began to recite following mentra “om nava shiva” and more than mentra “Om” out loud. The resonance was very beautiful, the sound becoming increasingly long, it was as if there were unsuspected reserves of air available to the mantra, every time I thought coming after my breath a new air supply came to me. All that mixed, it’s like I heard all the letters by reciting only one.
After this meditation I felt peaceful and inner quiet,
Before I start I asked my guides to prepare me for the coming of the Almighty. The automatic movements came immediately, Guru madan approached me and after a while whispered me the Shakti. I saw my body as the universe, every organ and part of my body was celebrating the coming of divine energy, my heart was the sun and the moon at the same time, they freeded the energy of the universe and I had visions of nature, landscapes, animals in peace and calm, everything was full of joy and complete harmony. They were me and I was them. The intense emotion of joy was flowing out of my eyes, there was resistance at first, my ego wanted to end this state but Shakti was stronger. What happiness! Guru Madan thank you!
Guru madan then explained me that I lived the UNION, 1, EVERYTHING.The unity with space, land, plants and animals
It is true that at this moment I realized that we all join, that everything is connected and comes from the same source. This has lead me to feel a deep respect to every being.
Start on the ground in the lotus posture, automatic movements and feeling of some chakras.
After a while I went to sat on the couch, strong shaking, then Guru madan arrived and hit my third eye and crown chakra.To follow it he started a rotation and touched the heart chakra. I had again the vision of nature, animals and the cycle of the 4 elements. The feeling of harmony made me began to cry. This time there was a mixture of sadness and joy even if the vision was full of harmony.
After that session my Guru madan said to let the shakti having a free hand, not to try to control, allowing it to act, to trust him. Do not repress his feelings or his wishes and let nature while watching over her. Let the body relax and so flexible that he is free of any movement.
The session was hold only sitting on a chair, the movement quickly started, then I had the vision of angels, elfs, queens, fairy and other elementary entities greeting me, the image of the universe appeared to me several times. This is the first time that madan guru ended the meditation, because we had to go.
Automatic movements, deep breathing and visualization of prana that enters the lungs and then spread it out through the body. Viewing of the 3rd eye. Felt a strange vibration while stopping the automatic movement at the root chakra. I had the vision of one eye and in his reflection I could see the sun.
Guru madan asked me if my doubts were dissipated and if I got what I came for. I told him to be honest I had imagined something else before comingI imagined I could feel the energy coming from him and inside of me, what it does not happen as I had imagined, I also thought that I would have no control over the automatic movements meanwhile I could always maintain control over everything if I wanted. Then there were the vision and embodiment in nature, space, animals and the feelings of energy from a different nature . The emotions brought harmony and deep peace. Finally there is also the change in the way of seeing things that made that my doubts are dissipated and I must say I got more than expected.
Madan Guru replied that everyone reacts differently and live things differently, the importance is the honesty, trust and devotion. Do not attach to the phenomenon and especially do not try to reproduce them, it could just slow down the progress and perhaps even block it. Trust in the Shakti, the Guru and let the natural course happend. Finally he said that he felt that I was ready for initiation and it will take place tomorrow.
Before initiation we (Guru Madan ,his son and me) went to buy fruits and flowers as a present for madan Guru and the other lineage (not living on this flat) and a carpet for meditation (called Aasan ). Then I took a shower and got ready. Meanwhile Guru madan prepared the place of ceremony: He put his assan opposite of mine, between us there was at the coronation of the Ganges (which is a sacred river in India), the sacred fire of incense, fruits, flowers, powder of sandal-wood, raw rice and rolls of thread. On the side there were the pictures of our lineage Gurus: MAHAYOGA THIRTH.
I put me on my Assan and Guru madan arrived in beautiful orange coat and went to sit in front of me on his Aasan. He started me to re-explain in what it involves entering the line of AIDS Mahayoga Thirth: Devotion, Liver, Honesty, Practice …
He then took his oak Rudraksha (equivalent to a rosary) and started whispering mentras. Then he made me repeat after him the application, the sacred covenant, the word that resembles the sacred covenant of marriage. Then it was he who recite my pact and admitted me,
To follow he blessed me with the water, passed the sacred fire mark with sandal-wood powder and then I marked him (level of the third eye) and I made it into a grain of rice. After we mutually put the thread around the wrist strap as bracelet. Pui Guru madan offered me a Rudrakshas necklace and a scarf (or rather a chaal Stchada made of pure Pachmina wool).
I omit to express certain details that are revealed only to the insider
After the ceremony we meditate together. Guru Madan recited a mentra out loud and I felt the energy coming out of his mouth coming to me. After a moment he stood up and touched my head at the crown chakra and the emotions directly came up, the tears were flowing several times during this meditation. After meditation as I opened my eyes I realized I was not anymore at all in the line of departure.
Gurumai joined us and was still in deep meditation, guru madan he had a beautiful smile. Thank you for that wonderful introduction.
Today another disciple came to meditate with the Guru and me. The automatic movements started quickly followed by shivering, the hairs of my body straightened. The emotions came already after the first minutes. Several visions came to me during this session, one where I was a Shaman / Guru or Mage in the middle of the woods excusing a ritual before a fire and everything around the fire and me were all sorts of animals watching at me carefully.
Another vision I had was of a mountain and everywhere there were people climbing, at the top of it there was a very deep whole leading to the center of the base of that mountain and at this specific place there is a sun,There was also a fluorescent purple colour who appeared in an abstract form.
I woke up at 01h30 and couldn’t sleep no longer so I got up and meditated.Very quickly I had visions followed of intense tears, I found myself in the woods again incarnate as old shaman or other, there was a tent and on the side a blue eyes wolf, I was at the tent stirring small pieces of wood and small bones. I mumbled a foreign language and felt great pain as if a great drama were happening at that time, and again in my vision I do not cry anytime.There were lots of other little visions of nature, the jungle and also a nice little; wearing like a Peruvian tunic stripped smiling at me. During this session a word came to me Katenga or KATONG I do not know exactly and I don’t know not what it means.Throughout this session my chakra was feeling well.
After my meditation I tried to sleep again but unsuccessfully. I then began my relaxation followed by a meditative walk (which is a display base for regression) Suddenly I find myself in the Himalayas (in any case it was in the area) on a snowed top, it was beautiful, the sky was clear and the sun warmed me. I went down the slope and I found myself in front of a cave, I decided to enter and discovered a man with long beard, it was Swami Narayan Dave Thithi One of our Guru lineage. He invited me to sit around the fire. Before I settled down I inclined me to him touching his foots by demanding his grace. The fire was different from all the fire I saw before I can’t explain it to me even the emitted light was different from a conventional fire. Once installed I asked him the secret of IQ. He replied that part of the secret was in the fire. While he answered me it’s like the scene where we were , came Inside my body.He said that this fire should always be sufficient and that he would now make me feel where this fire is. It was then that I felt an energy flowing through my foots and focused at this specific location.Then I asked him why all these emotions of sadness came out of me during some meditation. He gave me the vision of human bones and he told me that they were all close. I deduced that there was indeed a tragedy in a past life.Then he told me it was time to separate us and that I could see him whenever I wanted. I touched his foots (as the disciple does when he greets his master)and returned to myself, always keeping the sensation of energy who gradually fade Inside of me. I could sleep only around 6am
Again I woke up after being unable to sleep. I therefore took the opportunity to do my meditation. Automatic movements, deep breathing and appearance (vision) of the Guru Swami Narayan Tirtha Dave he touched my solar plexus chakra and I felt a power transmission focusing on this chakra, Then he asked me to contemplate the fire there in. By then I felt the energy flowing from my root chakra and crown. I also recited the mentra Om nava shiva “
This was my last meditation before returning by aircraft to my country. Before returning Guru madan said he had high hopes that I realized quickly.
I thank them for their kindness, their sense of sharing and enlightenment they gave me without ever asking anything in return. Guru Mdan Gautam is a great Guru and guides: simple, honest, well sure. I know that my story will appear in the eyes of some as an imaginary story or storyteller. However I assure you that I have written as I lived and shared hoping to help any sincere seeker to find the required information. Others will see may be something miraculous, magical or satanic. Again I promise you there’s nothing more natural than to let her body speak if it is physical, mental or psychological . There are no miracles and certainly no satanic. Here the first goal is to achieve, to find inner peace and live in harmony with everything around us and make every moment more beautiful life experience. Each initiation Shaktipat is different and everybody will live in his own way, from his personality. We must trust and let the Shakti, the rest is done automatically.
The next spiritual awakening events are:
Spiritual awakening Initiation in Belgium and France
This meditation originated in India and is based on energy called Shakti. (Also referred to as Chi or Prana in other cultures)
This powerful meditation technique is based on the idea that everything is energy. More than 10,000 years ago the Hindus developed theories about the energy of the universe and human beings (Chakras).
This meditation is based on the transmission of energy, which initiates an intense process of internal transformation.
During the initiation you will be able to try out spiritual awakening meditation and feel its effects in a concrete and positive way.
The intention of this retreat is to offer an introduction to spiritual awakening transmission. The transmission takes four days, and will be given throughout the year. During these meditations you will journey through states of altered consciousness (without taking any substances). Some may experience some automatic movements called ‘kriyas,’ which may manifest through different types of yoga, spasms, rapid respiration, spontaneous postures, internal visions, crying, and many other phenomena that have been well documented in works about spiritual awakening:
Shakti is a self-regulating energy that adapts to each individual and guides each person.
All you need to do is let go and abandon yourself completely during the meditations.
Each participant will have their own personal experience during the initiation, in a friendly and welcoming environment.
Between meditation sessions we will lead debriefings, spiritual discussions, and energy work. We recommend that you write down your experiences so as not to forget them, in order to be able to analyze them later, after some time has passed. Participants will have access to energy treatments and will be able to experience the group effect of energy concentration.
Come as a couple if you can because the elevation of consciousness of only one of the partners can create an imbalance in your relationship. (As with any other kind of effort to elevate your level of consciousness)
We recommend this type of meditation to people already well-versed in the subject, with a well-developed left brain (rationality), in order to compensate for expansion of the right brain’s consciousness. We believe that it is important to stay connected to the material world, even though you can reach very high levels during these meditations. During spiritual awakening transformation the left brain’s level of consciousness increases dramatically; the right brain will balance out later.
We recommend that you don’t start working again immediately after this introductory session. Rather you should take several days off, the time for everything to balance out again.
Spiritual awakening by meditations are very powerful tools for increasing your level of consciousness in all areas. This transmission must not be taken lightly, because those who try it see real changes in their lives.
Indeed, the higher our level of consciousness, the more we understand the universe in which we are progressing. From then on our actions and behaviors change. People’s lives truly evolve. This is why we recommend that couples follow this path together.
Meditation, whether Shaktipat or any other kind, allows us to increase our level of consciousness and consequently to progress down the path of spiritual awakening.
Infinite love is committed to ensuring that you remain autonomous, and to giving you tools that you can continue to use on your own or with friends. With each increase in your level of consciousness you will become freer, ‘deprogrammed.’
This introduction to spiritual awakening initiation will take place
Please contact us for the price: Note that the initiation itself is FREE, we only ask you to contribute to the cost of services, rental costs, administrative fees, food, and other activities (The cost can vary depending on where we hold the initiation).
For anyone unable to participate financially we have put into place a system of skills exchange whereby you may volunteer your services to the Foundation: Requests to participate in this skills exchange must be made before registration.
Arrival of participants, if possible the night before the program starts.
The venues, which we choose carefully, are generally lodges in the middle of nature, with beautiful and harmonious energy. We recommend that all participants sleep at the site in order to bask completely in this energy throughout the duration of their initiation.
On the day of your arrival, which isn’t part of the 4-day initiation, we will present the participants and the program. That evening we will share a meal and will finish with a group activity.
On the morning of the first day we will begin with breakfast and then provide a theoretical explanation of spiritual awakening. Next we will begin the initiation and the practice of meditation, which will always be followed by a debriefing, a time to share our experiences, and spiritual teachings.
During these four days of initiation there will be a minimum of two initiation sessions per day, and between sessions we will engage in other spiritual activities and possibly energy healing. During your stay we will serve organic vegetarian meals prepared with love and care.
Some little surprises await you…We won’t reveal everything right away.
After this initiation, we commit to remaining available to each participant, since follow-up can prove to be very important in some cases.
This initiation is not a final step; it is the beginning of a deep transformation!
After the initiation there will also be the possibility to participate in group meditations on a regular or occasional basis, which enables a continued progression and increased support.
All participants will also have access to our private spiritual awakening forum, where additional documentation is available and participants can ask questions and share with one another.
Skype videoconferences are organized before each initiation so that anyone interested may ask any questions they might have. You may consult the current schedule to learn more.
For those who are unable to participate in the videoconferences, we remain available via e-mail or telephone.
Kundalini, Evolution, and Enlightenment de John White
This book provides one of the broadest views on the subject of Kundalini. The various teachers provide their views and experience on the subject. It is perhaps the best book for someone to get aquainted with the concept of Kundalini. I highly recommend this book, as well as any book by Gopi Krishna.
When we eat, can we feed the soul as well as the body? Can a diet have impact on spirituality? Spiritual Nutrition empowers readers to develop personal diets that are appropriate to their lifestyles and spiritual practices. Drawing on 14 years of clinical experience and research, Dr. Gabriel Cousens discusses nutritional issues that can help answer these questions, including raw vs. cooked food; high vs. low protein; the concepts of assimilation and fasting; alkaline – acid balance; attitudes about food; nutrients, energy, and structure building.
In addition, Cousens shares his new dietary system of “spiritual nutrition” that is based on the relationship that the color of the food has to corresponding colors of the human chakra system, hence, the “rainbow diet.” For true nourishment, he strongly promotes the connection of diet to meditation, fellowship, wisdom, and love.
Kundalini, the secret of Yoga by Gopi Krishna
This book, written both on the basis of the author’s own extensive experience and a great deal of scholarly research, explores the complex terrain of Yoga and its energy, Kundalini, in the light of modern knowledge. He surveys the real aim of Yoga and how it can be achieved, describes the various steps of Yoga practice, the purpose they serve and the physiology behind them, and outlines the biological aspects of this comprehensive discipline. He also explains why a clear understanding of the goal to be reached is essential for achieving success in this endeavor.
Gopi Krishna was born in 1903, near the city of Srinagar, in the Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India. He spent his earlier years there and later, in Lahore, in the Punjab of British India. At the age of twenty, he returned to Kashmir and during the succeeding years he secured a post in the state government, married and raised a family. Later in his career, he became the leader of a social organization that was devoted to helping the disadvantaged in his community.
At the age of 34, while meditating one morning, he experienced the sudden and forceful awakening of Kundalini, which he described in full detail years later in his autobiography, KundaliniThe Evolutionary Energy in Man. From that day, till the end of his life, the energy was fully active in his body and eventually brought about a radical, permanent transformation of his perceptive faculties.
Gopi Krishnas last 25 years were devoted to bringing the attention of the world to this phenomenon. His seventeen published books, innumerable articles, discourses and speeches have presented a clear and concise account of the Kundalini process, a theory for its explanation and the role it plays in the evolution of both the individual consciousness and of the race as a whole.
His experiences led him to hypothesize that there is a biological mechanism in the human body which is responsible for creativity, genius, psychic abilities, religious and mystical experiences, as well as some aberrant mental states. He asserted that this mechanism is responsible for the evolution of mankind and that it is ignorance of the working of this process which is at the root of the critical situation of the world today.
Gopi Krishna called for a full scientific investigation of his hypothesis and believed that the results of such an objective analysis would give mankind the knowledge and understanding necessary to progress in peace and harmony.
