This practice is grounded in non-duality, where we recognize Source as both the unchanging and ever-expanding foundation of reality. By releasing resistance and surrendering to the flow of life, we align with the receptive state of love, joy, and creativity, allowing our desires to manifest from the subtle to the gross.
