Essence of Enlightenment
Witnessing and Mindfulness
SELF-PACED ONLINE COURSE: 4 Recorded Classes, Meditations, 6 CPD Points
“When the mind is silent and peaceful it becomes very powerful. It can become a receptor of bliss and wisdom enabling life to become a spontaneous flow and expression of joy and harmony. However, this inner silence cannot arise while there is a continual stream of disturbing thoughts and emotions. All this inner noise of thoughts and emotions has to be removed before one can truly experience the soundless sound of inner silence.”
Swami Satyananda
The Essence of Enlightenment course offers a step-by-step integrated path to self-awareness, witness consciousness, and mindfulness. Through 4 recorded classes and guided meditations, you will gain the knowledge and techniques needed for spiritual growth and psychological maturity.
The purpose of this course is to help you build a strong, conscious sense of self that remains stable while observing the mind. By disentangling from mental contents and re-identifying with your conscious witness, you can overcome worry, rumination, anxiety, emotional trauma, and depression.
This course aims to connect you to your inner self and make friends with your mind, enabling you to calm your mind, focus, and generate inner peace, inspiration, and creativity.
The course uses a combination of yoga-tantra meditation techniques and theoretical knowledge to help you develop witness consciousness and mindfulness effectively.
This holistic approach ensures you can integrate these practices into your life, leading to lasting mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual growth.
MEET YOUR GUIDES
Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati & Jayne Stevenson.
This course is created by Dr. Swami Shankardev Saraswati, a master of yoga and meditation (Yoga Acharya), medical doctor, and psychotherapist, and Jayne Stevenson, a dream worker and intuitive spiritual counsellor.
"We designed this course to provide a solid theoretical framework from yoga psychology and yoga-tantra, combined with practical techniques to support your journey towards enlightenment and mindfulness."
“Big Shakti's study programs provide a path to enlightenment and a practical yet highly spiritual means of attaining a more aware state wherever you are in your own development. Both Swami Shankardev and Jayne support your growth and learning in a safe, loving environment where questions are seen as part of the learning. The structure of the theory has given me the basis on which to build. It has helped me to understand so much about my life and the lives of those around me. I feel supported and held.”
