This Week's Contemplation

Agni the divine masculine fire ~ alights, aspires, achieves. Soma, the divine feminine nectar ~ nourishes, loves, allows. Cosmic consorts, each with a role. But too often, nourishment is sacrificed on the altar of achievement and the result is depletion and disease. Through practices that refine Agni and replenish Soma, we discover deep inner nourishment and satisfaction. Once satisfied by your own inner soma, you are no longer driven in such a way that devours your inner nectar. Thus, you can serve the greater good, without depletion. You remain fully engaged in life, yet rejuvenated. This is the blessing of agni & soma. ~ Kaya
“We are living in a time of tremendous depletion, stress, confusion. The path of revitalization through soma is very important. We need a paradigm shift of nourishment and connecting to the immortal essence, rather than just getting rid of negativities or purifying.” – Dr. Frawley
