ECKANKAR

Eckankar is ancient wisdom for today. Its teachings, which resurfaced in 1965, emphasize the value of personal experience as the most natural way back to God. Whatever your religious background, they show you how to look and listen within yourself — to expand your consciousness and enjoy spiritual freedom, and to see, perhaps for the first time, how to lead a happy, balanced, and productive life, putting daily concerns into loving perspective. Eckankar teaches simple spiritual exercises to experience the Light and Sound of God. These exercises also help us Soul Travel — to move into greater states of consciousness. A spiritual exercise can be as simple as relaxing and singing the word HU, an ancient name for God. As we practice these exercises, we learn to recognize the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We learn that each of us is Soul, a spark of God sent to this world to gain spiritual experience; and as we unfold spiritually, we learn to express the love of God through service to others.
