Shiva is one of the most mysterious gods of the Hindu pantheon. His energy can be found in all things, yet his tranquil and fierce energy can seem out of reach for some.

What we experience as “waking consciousness” is only a fraction of the total scope of consciousness available to us. This audiobook will introduce you to the concept of turiya, or pure consciousness, and explain how you can tap into this vast storehouse of knowledge and awareness. Most of us go through life without ever suspecting that there’s a higher level of consciousness that we can access. We’re content to go about our lives, day in and day out, without questioning reality's true nature. But what if there was more to consciousness than what we’re currently aware of?

This book examines the Dance of Shiva and a Tantric worldview as the basis for a yoga manual including instruction on movement, meditation and expansion of consciousness. It examines the keys held in the image of Shiva identifiable as the Cosmic Dancer, to assist humanity with experiencing a more harmonious life. This is achieved by the redirection of attention inwards from the external objective reality through the body and mind. The process leads to an opening of the perception to an experience of unity and bliss.
