About the Shiva-Shakti puja
The Shiva-Shakti puja is about the tantric aspect of life, Shiva and Shakti, the masculine and the feminine. Both poles have a longing to come together, because if there was only the masculine, there would only be potential. And if there were only life energy, but no consciousness, nothing would initiate creation. Only when the masculine can join the feminine can creation come into being.

Aum purusha namah aum namaha (2x)

About the Jivatman puja
The Jivatman puja is a prayer of gratitude in honor of your soul, in which you open yourself to the soulful human being that you are (Jivatman) and to the essential, immeasurable, pure Source from which you and all souls come, the all-encompassing Soul of All (Atman). As a living soul, you will always long for wholeness, for liberation from isolation, for completeness and harmony. Jivatman is like a ray of light from Atman, man is like an aspect of life, your identity is like an aspect of creation. He is born from it and will never forget his origin, he will always long to be reunited with it. Longing is what makes Jivatman remember his origin, Atman, and search for it. But in addition, Jivatman is also Atman, just as a drop of water is also Atman. As a human being, Jivatman, you realize your great origin, and yet you are temporarily a drop that longs for the ocean as the origin of everything. The Jivatman puja consists of two complementary mantras, each of which is chanted twice in succession. In the first mantra, Aum namaha ji ji jivatman aum namaha, you continuously make contact with your soul by repeatedly bowing to your soul and letting go again and again. This brings you very close to yourself. This can be confrontational because there is very little room for the ego in this puja. This puja is about one movement and one contact, and the ego cannot find much to distract it. That is why in this puja the real question is whether you are devoted to your soul and whether you want its inner value to enrich you more and more. This puja is therefore a balm for your soul. In the second mantra, Aum purusha namah aum namaha, you mainly reflect on the depth that your soul, the soul within you, represents. Of course there is the aum again and the namaha twice, indicating that you are greeting your soul from the spiritual dimension, but it is mainly the concept of purusha that determines the value of this phrase. After bowing and greeting your soul, this phrase wants you to know and feel that your soul is the connection to the origin of all life and existence, that it is the entrance to the indefinable pure essence of everything.
