SPANDA! WAVE OF CONSCIOUSNES

Spanda: [ S-pan-duh] 

Sanskrit - noun

Pulse of consciousness! 

I like to think of Spanda as pulsation, Spanda is a Sanskrit term used to glance at pulsation or motion. It refers to the subtle creative pulse of the Universe. A wave of consciousness. 

Spanda is not necessarily mental or physical, in fact, energetic and beyond. Think of it as the glue, the infinite motion within each second (to set a point of reference).

Spanda is the space in between each breath, the constant movement, pulse, and wave illustrated within life. Think of Spanda as the Pulse and life as the Impulse. 

In Yoga and Samkhya philosophy we can relate this Pulse - Impulse to Purusha - Prakriti. Purusha being Consciousness, and Prakriti being Nature. The disturbance or movement causes the process of Manifestation to begin, with the infusion of Consciousness, Purusha, and Prakriti (the cause of creation) to create the manifested reality of the Universe as you know it.

This merge lands us in the “Intellect”. And this Intelect into “I-ness” or Ahamkara (ego) and not ego as a negative connotation, but in a layer of the self that comes from Nature (Prakriti) after the merge with the  Infinite Consciousness, Truth, The Knower or The One.

If you think of this in computer code as the 0’s and 1’s, in Quantum physics Photons and Light, The vectors of a Photon that represent the Time and Space Axis. All of this I like to think of as Spanda. Spanda being the wave movement within the manifestation of life. 

All particles moving on a certain frequency or wavelength find the momentum to be recreated and manifested.

Along with this, I like to think of another law of conservation. Law of Conservation of Energy. Energy or Spanda in this case cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or transformed. 

This infinite force of life is the essence and core of your composition. When you sense Spanda, a subtle pull, gut or simply subtle Wave Of Energy remind yourself that this is the Flare, the Glitter, the Vitalizer, the Revealer, THE PULSE OF LIFE.

So the next time you find yourself in the middle of a breath, tune in and out and back in again to the infinite pulse and depth that resides within you. This right here. In the time-space continuum of infinite possibilities. This is SPANDA!
