At Metageum: Worshipping the Goddess in Malta
A thousand years before the Egyptian pyramids, and four thousand years before Buddha or Christ, a civilization existed that is neither recorded in the Bible nor described in the hieroglyphics of an Egyptian tomb. They left behind twenty five so-far-discovered above the ground temples built with the stones measuring up to 18 meters in height and weighing more than fifty tonmes.
Having so many temples in such a small space suggests that Malta was a place of pilgrimage and a worshiping centre in early times. I can almost see people from all over the world coming for help, or for spiritual union with the Goddess in all her forms: a young woman sleeping on the stone floor of the Temple to get in touch with her dead lover; silhouettes of people dancing or chanting hypnotically praying for the better crops; circles of bodies, opening like a flower to absorb the healing energy; secluded individuals & priests meditating invoking Her Energies; a pregnant women spending time in the Hypogeum so that the spirit of the dead may protect her new-born; a priest sacrificing animals or fruit worshiping the earth with its manifestations.
The spirals painted in red ochre or carved on the walls reflect the respect for the different expressions of Goddess, for the cycle of life and death, winter and summer, destruction and regeneration.
Who is She - Goddess - that was worshiped 6,000 years ago, and it is still worshiped today, a female that sleeps in every one of us, Yin of Creation, our Intuitive side, Wisdom guide that sleeps in every one of us, awakening and extinguishing thirst for spiritual longings.
At Metageum: Tantric Yoga Classes
The aim of Tantra Yoga is to expand awareness. A Tantric Yogi trains his body, mind and emotions and attunes them with the spiritual energy in order to re-programme his subconscious patterns and awaken the higher potential that sleeps within each and every one of us. The goal of Tantra Yoga is to harmonize the male and female aspects of our personality realising the universe as an expression of the Cosmic Mother. During the sessions we will be exploring various tools a Tantric has at his disposal - different breathing techniques, different physical exercises to strengthen the spine, and also we will be meditating on the major divine qualities of Goddesses.
