The body, with its creative potential, is a manifestation of the feminine principle, Shakti. Consciousness, with its source in the cosmos, is a manifestation of Shiva. Only when Shiva and Shakti come together in mutual love and respect is consciousness brought to the body, and energy and power made available to the mind. Such a happy marriage is not common. —Rudolph Ballentine, <i> The Heart of Healing </i>
