Publisher's Summary:

Be yourself. Simple advice - or is it? What does it mean to be oneself fully? How do we discover and live the truth of who we are in our essence? On The Self in Full Bloom, Mukti presents six sessions of deep inquiry and guided meditation intended to support embodied awakening - or the pure expression of both our human and our divine natures. The process of awakening involves dynamic and receptive energetics that color our experience from moment to moment. Through more than seven hours of teaching, Mukti eloquently describes the dance of these masculine and feminine qualities, illuminates the subtle challenges and gifts inherent in each, and points us to their ultimate union in our own unique expression of the wholeness that is already here. "There is an aspect of you that is not at odds with itself," teaches Mukti. "That part of your nature that expresses harmoniously all the facets of what you are." The Self in Full Bloom will help you firmly root yourself in the ground of Being while you flower fearlessly in alignment with the whole of life. Introduction by Adyashanti.

Teachings for Embodied Awakening

What made the experience of listening to The Self in Full Bloom the most enjoyable?

Mukti is a spiritual teacher who has a well-rounded background of vital learning tools which include yoga, acupuncture, and Chinese medicine where she learned the yin-yang metaphor for life. She illustrates the masculine and feminine, the give and take, yin-yang of awakening, which really benefited me.

My early childhood experiences included bullying and beatings to elicit my obedience. Until I was able to break free of some of those dysfunctional patterns (like leaving the family religion) many of my lifes endeavors were harsh and demanding. In my search for healing, I engaged some practitioners of energetic healing modalities. Some of them helped but others brought the very opposite results. Mukti gently and lovingly encouraged and soothed me to relax into my body. As teacher, she used vital tools which included knowledge of how to move me out of the active mind and into accessing my heart and my lower belly on the journey to awakening. By degrees, she explained the two-step practice of meditation and self-inquiry which actually complement each other during the process of self-discovery. Meditation became much easier for me once I got past the unhelpful pattern of working hard to stop thought, and instead, offering the mind freedom to explore where the mind figured it needed to be. She used valuable illustrations such as comparing the over-stimulated mind to a horse stuffed into a tiny stall by force. Instead, she suggests setting the horse free into a spacious pasture to let it do whatever it needed during meditation. Surprisingly, such freedom enabled a naturally calming environment within the self, which I found soothing and yet at the same time, vitalizing again, her yin-yang training became evident.

Mukti insists there is an aspect of you that is not at odds with itself. That part of your nature which expresses harmoniously all the facets of what you are doesnt want anything from you. It sees no need to fix you. It sees no need to correct anything in you. It doesnt need you to manage, it doesnt need you to track, there is nothing for you to do, other than simply receive this invitation to simply be let down and let be.
