How to Connect to Shiva

Connecting to Shiva can bring one to Moksha, liberation. To know Shiva is to know one's innermost self as the Shiva Consciousness that resides deep inside, within the silence at one's core and/or at one's heart. This innermost consciousness is formless and pervasive by nature and requires some work to become that. Finding one's innermost self, Shiva Consciousness, is well worth the effort (and can be as simple as chanting, "Om Namah Shivaya" or paying attention to the breath and the heart). 

Below follow some points that we will fill in as time goes and revisit, as well (some of these ideas have been mentioned in earlier posts): 

--Release your blocks, especially anxiety, doubt, and impatience. 

--Cultivate inner silence through daily meditation, speak less, spend regular time in nature and spend time in the silence. 

--Open Shiva energy channels by using specific mantras, yantras, and practices

--Cultivate subtle awareness and attentiveness.
