About Shakti Durga

Shakti means spiritual power or energy, and Durga means Divine Mother.

Former barrister Kim Fraser, now Guru Shakti Durga, is a multi-faith teacher of energetic healing who keeps things simple, practical and grounded. Her presentation style is clear, amusing, insightful and leaves the listener with a sense of hope and personal wellbeing. She has a knack of imparting complex concepts in simple, easy to understand terms that are of broad appeal. All of her seminars and centres run by donation.

Having been a spiritual teacher for many years, on 28th October 2006 Shakti Durga had an experience of self-realization, took her first disciple Parvarti Ma and began Shanti Mission. This was the beginning of her life as Maha Guru in the Shanti Mission spiritual school. Her guidance and leadership is promoting rapid spiritual evolution amongst her followers, and nearly 30 people have been given Guru diksha since then. This is like bestowing the shakti by which these people can become self-realized in this life. By entering into unity consciousness with Shakti Durga they are able to bring Her blessing to many people.

Biography

Born in Tasmania as Kim Fraser in December 1961, she was raised by wonderful Catholic parents mainly in rural NSW. Her father was a senior executive and director of various mining companies. She has one brother and as a child had lots of horses.

She finished school in 1979 and then attended Sydney University where she attained bachelors of laws and economics. Kim worked in international trade consulting prior to being called to the NSW bar in 1985, where she continued to practice personal injury and workers compensation litigation until retirement from law in 2002.

Following a messy divorce in 1992, Kim turned to personal development training and meditation to put herself back on track.  She had an endless appetite for learning and following a bout of illness discovered energetic healing, which cured chronic bronchitis when traditional medicine had not been helpful. Meditation became a transforming passion, and she studied with various spiritual masters both in Australia and overseas, primarily in the Philippines, India and Bali. She devoured many hundreds of books on healing,meditation, personal development, stress management, alternative healing therapies and philosophies for right living.

As a former skeptic, Kim was somewhat shocked to discover that she was clairvoyant and clairsentient, and had tremendous healing energy. She practiced spiritual healing, Ignite Your Spirit therapy which she developed through culling the best available techniques from a variety of sources over many years and adding her own flavour. Her teaching career started in 1999 at first part time, becoming full time in 2002.Since then she has taught thousands of people.

Shakti Durga emerged through an epiphany which took place on 28^th October 2006. She had a mystical experience which was shared by a class full of people (she was about to teach a seminar at the time). This transformed who she thought she was, and revolutionized her perception of self and the world.

She has written 4 books, the latest of which is Dimensions of Wealth. This book took 10 years to write, because so much personal evolution was required in order to present these ancient, powerful concepts in simple, easy to understand terms. The book is a personal journey into empowerment, containing tools for self help that have assisted thousands of people over the past few years.

Shakti Durga is a vocalist and musical composer who has numerous meditation and chant CD’s including Archangelic Meditation, composed with award winning composer Geoffrey Russell.Each of her cd’s is a healing tool which is used in conjunction with Ignite Your Spirit therapy.

Shakti Durga features in a new documentary called Love Me Love You, in which 5 people with 5 different life issues are given healings by 5 therapists from 5 different traditions, and the results are fairly interesting. This film is designed to help those who are struggling with depression, or feeling that they do not belong, fear of abandonment or relationship problems. It is an uplifting film with one simple message: if you love yourself, then things get better.
