Dakini

I found myself trying to find an archetype:

One that could hold the depth of my ferocity tapped in the inner realms,

One that could hold the depth of playfulness, light, and sweet nectar.

Radha, Lalita, Kalika, Kamakhya, Bhairavi, Persephone, Chinnamastika

But I am human, I thought to myself.

So when these Deific aspects of Parashakti interact with us humans, we are then manifested as human Dakinis and Dakas.

Dakini is not a simple title. This requires the gyan indriyan to be opened. It requires flourishing goal – commitment towards the Divine within, the eternal goal. Yog and Dhayana. Continued study in mastery over space and movement (Personal-Shakti).

A Dakini channels immaculate, lightening-like knowledge from any sphere, any realm. Every realm is accessible within oneself. You only must apply the right keys in the right locks, but surrendering this to your Ishta is the easiest and most fruitful in my experience. For me, my Mahakaala opens the doors and I dance encircling him within.

A physical Guru can be helpful here as well. Those who do not have a physical Guru – Shiva is the Guru of all.

This as it sounds amazing, can be extensively confusing without a physical Guru or Shiva as Guru. It can be confusing to your own identity as a human. The energies can overtake your human nature and consciousness. Grounding naturally becomes incredibly important. Your sense organs and your control upon your perception and focus becomes incredibly important to not lose yourself amidst the charge of energy that is flowing through you from various spheres of your own super-consciousness. Working with Shiva within and the Shiva tattva in experience becomes vital and fruitful here.

Imagine being tapped into Patala-Loka within yourself, and experiencing Brahmananda, then being human and very material. Gaining lightning insights and deific energy that manifests within your human body, merging with your consciousness – uplifting your consciousness. This is a normal day. It requires the Sadaka to channel and not get lost in these realms within. It can be alluring to stay in the internal energy of Patala Loka as the energies of the Nagas naturally found here can be intoxicating, as an example.

A Sadaka must have a goal a one pointed focus – normally this focus is Parabrahma or your Ishta. All is Shakti, Shakti is not gendered, all is a pratibimba of Shiva. Shiva is the unperceivable; therefore, all ideas of Shiva are also Shakti. Shakti who is Shiva in action, in play, in movement. The Sadaka must have a focus on where they wish to target their energy towards. This must be a clear goal – because it will be churned and tested by the Gods. Making it certain and solid, as solid a goal can be – it becomes like a river, one that flows but can not be stopped and no one knows its beginning but only see it meet the ocean (goal) in it’s end, it endless pours itself into the ocean – who is in truth itself. You are your goal so choose your direction wisely, allow this goal to shape, allow it to take form as you.

Parvati became Shiva.

She was always Shiva.

Shiva was always Parvati.

She became her goal – her true self.

To learn how to channel your own energies and tap into the beautiful gifts and realms within, is part of the Dakini’s training.

As Dakinis are wielders and spreaders of Divine intelligence and gifts.

Human Dakinis are no different, regardless of the level they are on. This energy manifests within and expresses itself in form – the human form for we are human in this life.

While they work towards their personal goal.
