SHAKTIPAT | Concert by Dana Devi
February 23 @ 18:30 - 22:00
▽ SHAKTIPAT ▽
Curious about (traditional) Tantra?
The power of mystical ceremonies?
Revitalizing your own energy body?
Around the full moon we enter an ancient, Tantric meditation: Shaktipat.
The ceremony can be a mystical journey with insights, release and an expanded energetical state.
We combine this meditative ritual with a live concert, workshop or sound experience.
▽ MUSIC BY DANA DEVI
Dana Devi (Dana van Breukelen) is a gifted singer, passionate mantra musician and devoted yoga teacher. She grew up in a yoga ashram and was drawn to Indian music and mantras from a young age. Over the years devotional music became her meditation.
It is her passion to touch the hearts of people through music and silence. She guides people into deep relaxation and stillness with gentle guitar play and healing voice.
About Dana’s music :
“Beautifully sung and such soothing calming voice.”
“Peaceful. Enriching. Food for the soul.”
“ Sheer magic ..very grateful for the magic of your voice and the music which fills all cells with wellness.”
“Music is sound that becomes a door to silence.” – Osho –
▽ SHAKTIPAT
Shaktipat is a traditional, mystical, Tantric ceremony. In Sanskrit, Shaktipat literally means descent of grace. Through ritual and intent we invite awareness of life energy (Kundalini) into our bodies. Resulting in a more flow, bliss and ease.
Shaktipat is a solo meditation, supported by collective energy. You will be ‘touched’ by water of the Ganga river, sacred ash, Kumkum and a third eye blessing of the Siddha lineage. Indian Vedic chants will support you into deeper meditation and prayer.
A Shaktipat can be a deeply transformational experience.
▽ KUNDALINI
Kundalini, also referred to as life force, is the energy of your soul’s potential, rooted at the base of your spine.
Kundalini can awaken through practice (yoga, breathwork etc.), psychedelic stimulation (plant medicine etc.), spontaneous activation (birth), or through energetical transmission (Shaktipat).
We consider Shaktipat a safe way of awakening, as the lineage will ensure a smooth transition of your self-realization journey.
An awakened Kundalini can bring about massive life-transforming experiences and spiritual awakenings.
▽ SIDDHA LINEAGE
The Shaktipat ritual is performed according to Siddha tradition (5000 years old). Its primary objective was the direct, effortless awakening of the Kundalini. Through ritual and prayer we invoke the guidance of Bhagavan Nityananda, a meditator residing in the mountains of Maharastra, India.
Kabira has received initiation through Bud Barber in Melbourne in 2016, and has been giving Shaktipat across several continents ever since.

▽ WHAT OTHERS SAY
I was in a deep meditation and feeling the whole vibration through my system – Sagnik
Karlijn, mijn eerste shaktipat meditatie mogen bijwonen bij jou.. Ik ben er nog lang, positief van onder de indruk geweest. Het had een heerlijke nawerking, bekrachtiging. Ik vond het fascinerend. Het smaakt zeker naar meer – Nienke
This was such a different experience. Not a physical one perse, which I experienced before, much more calm and visual. Felt like traveling through time and space- in a spiral motion, whilst bathing in energy and seeing so many symbols. I am stunned…Thank you Karlijn and Bud! – Amarens
