Spanda

Spanda is a concept from Kashmir Shaivism that describes the subtle, dynamic energy or vibration underlying the universe. It signifies the spontaneous movement or pulse that animates all existence, highlighting the interconnectedness of consciousness and creation. Essentially, Spanda reveals that the universe is a continuous, mindful rhythm—a dance of energy—where awareness and reality are inseparably woven. Recognizing Spanda encourages one to experience this vital flow, fostering a sense of unity and presence, and understanding that everything is a manifestation of this divine vibration.
