Andrew Harvey – The Shift Network – Expanding the Flame of Prayer

Receive Initiation into Advanced Prayer Practices that Illumine the Body, Create Ecstatic Communion with the Divine and Free You for Your Sacred Service

For too long, prayer has been seen mainly as a petitionary plea in which we are begging a higher power with help for our challenges.

The far more exciting truth is that prayer can be the highest form of initiation, communion and liberation – especially as we learn to practice it in advanced ways.

Specialized prayer practices can allow our bodies to be irradiated with light, suffused with ecstasy and focalized into a penetrating force of compassion. Embodied prayer can lead us into a wholly new kind of incarnational spirituality.

Yogic practitioners of the East have pointed to the possibility of divinized “rainbow” or “golden” bodies, while Christian mystics memorialize the resurrection of Jesus.

These lineages converge around a central recognition: our bodies can become literal vessels for a new kind of human-divine fusion.

Advanced prayer practices are the missing link in most modern transformational programs, which too often focus solely on cooling emotions, quieting the mind and finding inner peace and harmony.

These transcendental approaches to spiritual growth can take us away from greater embodiment and intimacy with all of life – which is, after all, part of the Divine outpouring.

Something profound is possible as we liberate prayer from its petitionary shackles and activate it as a great evolutionary force in our bodies and our lives. When we do this, we find a depth of courage that is unstoppable, a love that is truly unconditional, and a devotion to the Divine that cannot help but express in sacred service to the world.

The exploration into these esoteric depths leads to an ignition of the sacred heart, a blessing power to take up residence in the body, and the penetration of our being with light. We go beyond transcendent coolness into the heat of Divine splendor, a taste of Tantric union of heaven and earth.

So if you have hungered for a spiritual path that leads into real intimacy with God, and are wanting to receive a rare transmission of advanced practices – our new advanced prayer program with scholar-mystic Andrew Harvey is designed just for YOU.

Expanding the Flame of Prayer builds upon the teachings and practices offered in Andrew’s celebrated Igniting the Flame of Prayer introductory program, but takes you into the “higher” embodiment and incarnational practices reserved for advanced practitioners and explorers.

This is not a program for people who want to run from reality; it is a training to meet the Divine with every cell of your being.

Each module begins with teaching and prayer transmissions from Andrew, and then leads into a full hour of intimate spiritual mentorship – with Andrew addressing your challenges, responding to questions and opening his heart-wisdom to speak into your deepest yearnings. He will allow his soul-knowing to speak and move through him, in service to your awakening, as well as share how he has passed through many mystical gates with the practices you’ll be learning.

In Sufi lineages, this is called “sohbet” – the meeting of student and teacher in a kind of holy communion of naked truth-telling and ecstatic surrender. Every lineage recognizes the power when “two or more gather” in worship, and thus, this immersion with Andrew will offer a sacred meeting between sincere and committed seekers who want the full initiation into the Divine that these prayer practices bring.

Very few people have ever been taught how to pray masterfully, let alone been shown the deeper esoteric science and transformative power of advanced prayer. The advanced prayer practices have been reserved for late-stage practitioners – or never taught at all.

This immersion will take you to depths of spiritual wisdom that you barely knew existed, as well as bring you into heartfelt communion with the teachings and practices of some of history’s great saints, sages and seers.

You’ll learn how these pioneers applied the sacred power of prayer to accelerate their own evolution and the awakening of the Divine within humanity – helping us to bring more of heaven back down to earth.

When you start to experience prayer at this next level, you’ll become overwhelmed by the incredible joy and empowerment of Divine relationship – of being deeply and passionately loved and attended too.

We are blessed to have a very gifted and humble teacher who has been called to reveal these advanced secrets of prayer, and, in doing so, blazes a trail back into the sacred heart of the mysteries hidden within the depths of the world’s mystical traditions.

That man is the renowned mystic-activist, Andrew Harvey.

Andrew is one of the world’s leading sacred scholars, as well one of the most profoundly inspired and illuminating speakers on the subject of esoteric spirituality and mysticism. He became the most popular Shift Network teacher in 2013 with his profound teachings on the Christ Path and the Way of Passion, as well as Igniting the Flame of Prayer.

Andrew believes that the world is at a precipice, and it is time to reclaim our most potent and effective spiritual technologies to avert our crisis, and transfigure ourselves and our world.

He knows that the ancient technology of prayer holds the essential keys for our individual healing and collective awakening – and he’s dedicated to bringing its full depths and wonders to you so you can incarnate more of the Divine.

Andrew’s teachings of advanced prayer practices are appropriate for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, pagans, the “spiritual-but-not-religious”… really anyone who is on a path of growth, transformation and service. He will be specifically teaching prayer practices from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism and Sufism.

We feel blessed to offer this groundbreaking 7-module course as a liberating, mystical approach to prayer –all made available to you in your home. You’ll emerge with a far more advanced, powerful, nourishing, liberating, and radically-intimate prayer practice that sustains you, day-by-day.

If you’re ready to deepen your understanding of the profound beauty and transformative potential hidden within the daily practice of prayer – this immersion is for you.

A Powerful Initiation Into Your Divine Nature

Embodying the Flame of Prayer is more of an initiation, or a rite of passage, than a typical online course.

During the 7-part journey, Andrew will bring forward truths about radical embodiment, relationship and the birth of the truly Divine Human in each of us.

Andrew is a wild and often provocative truth-teller who is willing to rattle the cages of limiting beliefs we have about ourselves, and call us into profound service. His passion can become a gateway to our freedom as he calls us beyond limiting beliefs.

If you are on a spiritual path, with an open heart and mind, and are looking for a more embodied, real and full-spectrum teaching to awaken your full divinity – then this immersion is perfect for you.

You’ll learn the essential tools to accelerate divine embodiment and the activation of the sacred heart – and experience a clear roadmap for how to participate in the sacred activism most needed in our day.

You’ll also receive prayer practices of heart, mind and body that you can apply consistently, so that divine love and wisdom can act through you to transform the world. In the end, you WILL have a powerful advanced practice of prayer that can sustain you, liberate you – and ultimately divinize you.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Sessions

Module 1: Taking the Next Evolutionary Leap
Bringing the Sacred Presence into Our Cells
Andrew believes we are on a precipice as a planet, choosing between a dark descent into ever-more destructive cycles of greed, or into a more luminous future in which we create a wholly new level of divine embodiment. As we do this, we can become catalysts for the creation of a generous, just and caring world. To make this leap, we need to release our addiction to transcendence, and open to the kind of radical, divine embodiment that will suffuse the heart, mind and being with greater intelligence. This is what many think of as the “Christed Self.” In this first module you’ll:

• Receive a vision that is both transcendent and immanent – unifying passion and peace
• Clearly understand what becoming transfigured or Christed really means in terms of the irradiation of our cells with a higher sacred force
• Begin to unify your mind and heart into one vessel for sacred practice, so a new level of conscious embodiment and power can be born
• Learn from the profound mystical openings and insights of philosophers like Aurobindo, Ken Wilber, Father Bede Griffiths and Jean Gebser

Module 2: Waking Up the Divine Body
In this module, you will learn the advanced 7-part “Body Prayer,” which has been derived taken from major mystical traditions and yoga. It offers you simple positions that enact the whole path of embodiment – reaching up first to transcendence, then being consciously resurrected in the light, and finally, going out into the world as an emissary of that new evolutionary truth. Repetition of this body prayer forges you as a being who is able to stand in your center and peacefully transform of the world. You’ll learn to:

• Bring higher octaves of consciousness into your body
• Understand how to integrate the evolutionary journey with embodiment
• Open to a deeper experience of your body and its power
• Incarnate a deeper level of presence in your everyday life
• Link your embodiment to your passion and your service in the world
• Find out what mystics like Rumi, Hafiz and Meister Eckhart discovered about the stages of waking up the Divine Body

Module 3: Growing the Golden Body
Activating the Divine Mother in Your Cells
In this module, we will focus on the esoteric science of activating Shakti in your cells – the “Mother Force” – in a way that leads to the growing of what mystics call your “golden” body. This body represents a higher expression of your normal physical body, and advanced prayer practices will literally baptize you into this body. You will learn:

• How to specifically call forth and incarnate more of the Mother Force in a way that grows your subtle body
• Invoke a cocoon of protection and support to allow this inner alchemy to unfold
• Begin with your crown chakra, and call in light that suffuses and irradiates your body in a sequential way
• Understand more of the Eastern and Western mystical lore around the development of this golden body and its connection to depictions of halos around saints
• Learn the prayer practices that baptize your cells with this feminine light force
• Use Hindu practices of visualization to open a devotional relationship with the Divine Mother
• Taste what it will be like to live in a unified force field of embodied transcendence
• Integrate the understandings of Sri Aurobindo, the Gnostic Jesus and Teilhard de Chardin around this golden embodiment process

Module 4: Preparing the Marriage Bed in the Heart
This module will focus on the centrality of the heart in your journey into divine embodiment. The real sacred alchemy can only truly be accomplished through an open, ecstatic and illumined heart. It is where transcendence and immanence meet – the place where the dance of opposites becomes harmonious. You’ll learn:

• Prayer practices that concentrate the force of love in your heart to become an intense and focused beam – like a laser
• How to use the heart’s integrative capacities to speed up your evolution
• An advanced teaching on how light makes love to matter, transcendence makes love to matter
• The pathway to opening the Sacred Heart as compassionate love, making possible the marriage of heaven on Earth
• How to reconcile opposites and dualities in your heart
• An esoteric practice to open your heart to the Beloved

Module 5: Opening the Ecstatic Golden Sun in the Heart 
This module will take you deeper into the mysteries of the heart’s spiritual capacities – specifically opening a higher “Golden Sun” that is connected to ecstatic union with God, as well as the Golden Body of Module 3. You will undertake practices derived from Hindu Tantric practice that aim to awaken your heart as an immense sun with boundless capacity to shoot out rays of power in all directions. You’ll learn:

• Breathing exercises and mystical syllables that lead to the awakening of the heart
• How to invoke divine shakti power as you imagine the Golden Sun becoming wilder and wilder
• The process of directing the rays of the light of the Golden Sun toward the parts of your own body that need healing and transformation
• A practice to visually irrigate the whole of your being with the fire of the heart – and then extend it to help and heal others
• The keys to conscious irradiation: training the fire of that Golden Sun on different aspects of your physical being, enabling you to experience the secret ecstasy of all of the cells
• A vision of how the whole of your body can become a supernova of sun cells
• Understand the advanced insights of mystics such as Sri Aurobindo, Father Bede Griffiths and Robert Powell in this process

Module 6: Embodying Compassion Through the Heart’s Alchemy 
This module prepares you to focus, funnel and embody your loving-compassion as a sacred activist – particularly focusing on the Tibetan practice of Tonglen, in which you use your heart to compassionately transmute negative, dark and destructive energies. The force of unbound compassion is, according to Andrew, the strongest force in the universe. As you integrate this force in a deeper way, you will become wiser, calmer, steadier – and very much more awake to the powers that are given to the divine human to work directly in partnership with God in addressing very dangerous realities. You’ll learn:

• How Tonglen works with the force of unbounded compassion, so that you don’t have to confront the horror directly, but work on the alchemical forces that make up the situation through the prayers and imagery
• Mystical practices that enable you to shift the forces that are blocking progress from within, rather than through direct confrontation
• Navigate encounters with the forces of the dark in a clear and grounded way
• Develop greater heart strength to engage a suffering world
• Receive the wisdom of the mystic Shanti Deva and study the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
• To practice the complete Tonglen cycle (from self to being an agent of worldly transformation), which allows you to become a more luminous sacred activist

Module 7: Transforming Heartbreak into Sacred Activism 
The final module will ground you in the core practices necessary for you to become a resilient sacred activist – able to transform the inevitable heartbreaks that occur on the path of compassionate action. You’ll learn:

• How to responsibly engage the education of your heart through being shattered by the suffering
• Skills for navigating suffering that allows you to keep your heart alive, vibrant and buoyant throughout the witnessing of suffering
• How to prevent heartbreak from overwhelming and paralyzing you, and instead allow it to guide you to where you’ll be most powerful in your chosen cause
• Learn why it is essential to follow your heartbreak – instead of following your bliss – to illicit your mission and the power to do something about it
• The practice of unconditional love and compassion in groups
• Be initiated into the greatest bliss of your life by opening to your mission, embodying it and experiencing the joy of enacting it

Prayer and Activism
Audio Dialogue with Andrew and Adam Bucko
In this special session, Andrew is joined by his friend and spiritual activist, Adam Bucko. Adam’s work impacts many homeless youth in NYC and he is at the forefront of the growing sacred activism movement along with Andrew. These two respected leaders will discuss the role of prayer in activism that can truly change the world.
Adam Bucko is an activist, spiritual director to many of New York City’s homeless youth and co-author of Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation. He grew up in Poland during the totalitarian regime and spent his early years exploring the anarchist youth movement as a force for social and political change. At the age of 17, Adam immigrated to America where his desire to find his path towards a meaningful life led him to monasteries in the US and India. His life-defining experience took place in India, where on his way to a Himalayan hermitage, he met a homeless child who lived on the streets of Delhi. This brief encounter led him to the “Ashram of the Poor” where he began his work with homeless youth. After returning to the US, he worked on the streets of various American cities with young people struggling against homelessness and prostitution. He eventually co-founded The Reciprocity Foundation, an award winning nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of New York City’s homeless youth.
In addition to his work with homeless youth, Adam established HAB, an ecumenical and inter-spiritual “new monastic” fellowship for young people which offers formation in radical spirituality and sacred activism.
He collaborates with spiritual leaders across religious traditions and mentors young people, helping them discover a spiritual life in the 21st century and how to live deeply from the heart in service of compassion and justice.
Adam is a recipient of several awards and his work has been featured by ABC News, CBS, NBC, New York Daily News, National Catholic Reporter, Ode Magazine, Yoga International Magazine and Sojourner Magazine.

More Praise for Andrew Harvey…

“Andrew Harvey is an enlightened spirit–a messenger from the Divine.”
– Gloria Vanderbilt

“Our world is awash with activism, is drowning in activism, but it is the wrong kind. Andrew Harvey’s sacred activism is the only form that is likely to save us from the narrow, destructive preoccupations that seem to mesmerize us humans. Only an attention to the heart – for “sacred” and “heart” reflect a common meaning – can generate the hope, courage, and vision required for our troubled times. It is important to realize that Andrew Harvey’s message is not a matter of philosophy, but of survival.”
– Barbara Dossey, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, FAAN

“Amid the gloom-and-doom predictions and total denial so prevalent today, Andrew Harvey’s is a singular voice speaking truth about our current situation. In impassioned yet pragmatic terms, he lays out the grave problems humanity faces, from WMDs and environmental desecration to epidemic levels of attention disorder, outlining the grim fate that awaits us if we fail to mend our ways. But unlike the chorus of modern-day Cassandras, Andrew doesn’t leave us there, mired in despair. Setting out a course of radical and reasoned action, he empowers us to become spiritual activists and reclaim our planet from the suicidal trajectory we’re traveling. We could have no more compelling guide to today’s challenges and their solutions. It’s breathtaking to hear so unsettling a subject articulated with such intelligence and grace.”
– Joan Duncan Oliver, journalist and author, Happiness: How to Get It and Keep It*
