Скачать или смотреть Tantra: Why Life Feels Incomplete (Even When It’s “Fine”) | Shaktipāta & the Descent of Power

Have you ever noticed that even when life looks “fine” on the outside — work, relationships, stability — something deeper still feels incomplete?

In this video, I explore Shaktipāta (SHAK-ti-paa-ta) — the descent of power — a core teaching from non-dual Tantra that explains why this longing arises, and why it’s not a flaw… but a calling.

This is not about seeking something new.
It’s about recognising what’s already stirring within you.

We explore:
• Why the sense of “something missing” is actually sacred
• The three tantric impurities that shape human suffering
• How Shaktipāta dissolves feelings of unworthiness, fear, and forced effort
• Subtle signs of spiritual awakening that often go unnoticed
• How to integrate awakening gently into real life (without blowing everything up)

If you’ve felt drawn to spirituality, depth, or truth — even quietly — this teaching may help something finally click.

At the end, I’ve also included reflective questions in the description to help you integrate the teaching in your own life.
