 The Concept of Shakti: Hinduism as a Liberating Force for Women
For the Vedanta school, Shakti was "...conceived as the activity of a cause revealing itself in the shape of an effect" (Dev, 1987).
Thus, Shakti is seen as being antecedent to Prakriti, with Shakti being the instrumental cause, in the form of the Devi, or the Great Goddess, and Prakriti serving as the material cause.
Shakti is the vital life-giving force of the god, as well as the personification of his particular power.

 What is Shakti Wicca?
Shakti Wicca does not dictate which god/desses one must personally serve, or adopt as their matron or patron, nor do we specify which deity/ies a Terra-based circle must work with.
Shakti Wicca recognizes that such things are a matter between the dedicant and their Ishtadevata, and are likely to naturally evolve and change as the dedicant's practice develops and deepens.
As Shakti Wicca is eclectic, leaving much room for personal preference and style, dedicants are encouraged to share their rituals, prayers, meditations, etc with the Shakti Wicca community (where appropriate) so as to build an open community resource of ritual material from varying perspectives.

 Phil's India Travelogue: Neelkanth, Kunjapuri Temples, Rishikesh
The shakti, or energy of the vertical path is associated with the rising of 'kundalini' energy _up_, but there is another shakti, that my old teacher Love Ananda/Adi Da called the shakti of 'understanding', which works differently.
And to call it shakti is not necessarily correct, since shakti is associated with the goddess, a feminine aspect of spirituality and this is Shiva-like, a masculine and impersonal aspect.
Shakti is associated with movement, the "dance" of form, and Shiva is (initially) the corpse, the Divine Ground, the context upon which the Goddess and all form dances upon.

 Shakti Audio Innovations
Shakti is an east Indian word that means "energy." A more detailed definition is "creative intelligence, power and beauty." This trinity of energy comprises the very essence of music.
SHAKTI differs from these past efforts in that it draws energy from the very field it is attempting to smooth out; once it is set in motion it becomes an active transducer by changing a portion of this field into mechanical energy and then dissipates it as heat.
The worldwide use of SHAKTI is a testament to its discernible and cumulative benefits on a wide variety of audio/video components.
