Join us in meditation on the night of Shiva, a celebration in adoration of Shiva, the night before the New Moon, and the most auspicious moment in the month for meditation, when connecting with the deepest and most transcendental aspects of ourselves becomes easier.
Shivaratri is celebrated 12 times a year, just before the rising of the new moon. It is called the Night of consciousness, and it is the night in which we celebrate the Light of awareness that shines within.
In a world of energy, movement, development, entropy, a world of Shakti, there is an underlying matrix of information, structure and meaning.
Shiva is the aspect consciousness present both at the individual, manifested level and at the cosmic level, the one who will guide us back to the essence of our being and to the real source of it all.
We will begin by exploring the concept of Shiva, followed by two forms of meditation: first, a Yang Spiral Meditation* accompanied by music, and then either a silent meditation or a mantra meditation—for those who know Shiva’s mantra.
We invite you to join us in this inner celebration of the Light of Consciousness, so that we may spread this light outside.
Please ensure to arrive on time as there will be no admittance after 9:15pm
I want to meditate with ShivaWhat is a Yang Spiral Meditation?
The Yang Spiral Meditation is a distinctive group meditation technique designed to harness and amplify yang (solar, dynamic) energy through collective resonance. Participants form a counterclockwise spiral, alternating between men and women, arranged according to the sequence of the 12 zodiac signs. This configuration facilitates a powerful flow of energy, for enhanced personal transformation and spiritual effects.
Participants have shared many beautiful effects such as heightened states of consciousness, profound insights, healing and inner balance.
Core concepts
- Yin–Yang balance: the meditation counteracts the prevailing yin (passive, receptive) imbalance in modern society by cultivating yang qualities such as awareness, vitality, clarity and inner strength.
- Astrological alignment: positioning participants by zodiac sign activates the energetic qualities of each sign, which participants tune into and assimilate — a feeling of becoming a complete human being with all qualities and attributes.
- Energetic flow: the spiral’s counterclockwise formation generates a centripetal energy vortex, drawing participants’ consciousness inward toward a central point of unity and higher awareness.
- Collective energy: by meditating in unison, transformative effects arise far beyond what each person could achieve alone — even beyond the sum of the individuals taking part.
- Elevation and sublimation of inner energy: the inner balance of energies can be felt as a spontaneous, free sense of inner light, happiness, love and joy.
