Summary
Highlights
Gareth details his spiritual awakening, starting from discovering manifestation through Louise Hay's book, to experiencing 'no mind' during meditation, and a profound out-of-body experience which confirmed he is not just his physical body. The biggest paradigm shift was a spiritual awakening in 2016, where he woke up from the 'dream' and understood a greater reality.
Gareth explains the 'Mother Force' as a blend of two energies: Kundalini (feminine energy, Shakti) and a descending truth aspect (Sat or super mental). He discusses how in his Darshan sessions and Zoom meditations, people can draw different energies from this Mother Force according to their individual needs, leading to diverse experiences like Kundalini movement, peace, or light awareness.
Gareth reassures that these transmissions are generally safe, but advises participants to be of sound mind and without severe mental health issues, as these energies can bring traumas to the surface. He clarifies that Shaktipat meets individuals where they are, only activating Kundalini if they are ready, and differentiates this from forced awakenings through drugs or intense yoga practices.
A significant 'con' of spiritual awakening is the acceleration of traumas that need processing, though Gareth views this as a long-term 'pro' for healing. He notes that life changes, with old friends, relationships, and jobs potentially falling away if they no longer align vibrationally. His own life has become more reclusive, prioritizing personal company, nature, and living without seeking external approval.
Gareth explains that regular spiritual practice often aims for a better quality of life and self-realization, fostering calmness and a regulated nervous system. In contrast, 'Brahman' states represent deeper stages of awakening where one's soul exits the 'matrix' to become one with void or nothingness, perceiving reality as a projection.
Gareth shares that his retreats are primarily focused on direct energy transmissions and meditations, leading to various energetic releases like laughter, crying, or unusual vocalizations. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and encourages people to be themselves rather than mimicking others in their spiritual journey.
Gareth invites people to join his free Tuesday and Friday Zoom meditations for energy transmission. He also offers mini groups and in-person retreats, which he considers the most impactful. For safe Kundalini awakening, he recommends receiving Shaktipat, describing it as gentle and tailored to individual readiness. He also suggests practices like yoga asanas and pranayama to ease the process.
Gareth highlights that he doesn't see himself as a guru and doesn't impose teachings. His approach is to encourage direct experience of the energy field. He describes living in the present moment as a state where his mind doesn't dwell on the past or anticipate the future, dealing with things as they arise and focusing on what he can control.
