Preparing for Shakti Pot

Contemplations prior to Shakti Pot:

  • When did you last unselfconsciously make sound? Singing, humming, toning, even a simple sigh.

  • Do you have a story you carry about being “too much”?

  • Where in your body do you sense the urge to hold back? What is the sensation like?

  • What would it mean for you to let yourself be witnessed in freedom, expression, and aliveness rather than composure, withdrawal, uncertainty?

  • What’s the difference between performing and transmitting?

  • What happens in you when you create space and listen to what’s alive in others?

  • Is there a quality of aliveness in you that’s quieter than your loudness? One that maybe doesn’t get as much attention?

  • What are you bringing into the pot? (Not what you hope to get — what you’re offering.)

  • What would make this ceremony feel complete for you?
