LIGHTING UP YOUR INNATE POWER

A Vague Yet Stirring Longing

A discovery that struck you: you have a deep-seated longing for something more.

Right now, this “moreness” is vague, but you rightly intuit that it’s pointing to what’s true, sacred, beautiful, or good. This yearning for something more can’t be ignored–even though it seems to hover just out of reach.

Further consideration reveals that either you’re unclear about the exact nature of this moreness, or you lack the “oomph” to bring it about, or both.

Either way, clarity and power are both needed.

To know and feel this vision intimately, you’ll need to ignite and then intensify your innate power.

This is what this workshop is teaching: the emanation of fire in your belly.

Poem: An Illustration

Follow your bliss. This means: to aspire to bigness.

To do so, you’ve got to get fire in your belly. Ten fingers must become ten beams of light!

This fire is dissipated through scattered attention, damp thoughts, and degraded energy.

Therefore: See and stoke the fire in the belly.

But how?

Discover the one thing needful. Then cull it. Concentrate all on it. Intensify it. Push wisely yet fiercely into being.

Taste bigness. Then merge with it. For the sake of all.

Love is the utter end of bigness.

About Us

I (Andrew) am a Ph.D.-trained practical philosopher and teacher. Over the past 15 years, I’ve explored the things that matter most (philosophy) as well as the deep peace that’s at the heart of our experience (meditation). I say more about philosophy and meditation on my website.

I (Alexandra) am a meditation teacher who’s currently writing a book on inner purification (more here). I finished yoga teacher training in 2018. My spiritual path has passed through Christian mysticism and Zen Buddhism, and, in recent years, I’ve been engaged in energy practices like prana vidya, kundalini tantra, and kriya yoga. You can learn more about me on my Substack, Happiness Dawns.

Who Could Benefit

• Those who’d like to be experientially clearer about what they truly long for.

• Those in tech, entrepreneurship, and finance who “have it all” yet sense that something deep is missing.

• Those who incline quite naturally toward “the path of self-knowledge” and who are curious about how to make this path more vibrant and more fiery.

• Those who naturally gravitate toward energy (Reiki, qigong, kundalini, breathwork, etc.) and yet are hungry for clarity and rigor—that is, for a genuine understanding of what energy is and how it works.

• Those who’ve been “playing small” and who know that they’re now ready to go beyond their mind-constructed limits.

• Those with an ascetic nature who, despite their allergy to worldliness, grasp that there’s something more needed in order to overcome their “dryness” and to open their hearts to the fullness of life.

“He who can become mad with an idea, he alone sees light…. Make that one idea your life—think of it, dream of it, live on that idea.”
