Experience Kundalini

“There’s nothing which can be more precious in you than your own relationship with your own consciousness.” Yogi Bhajan

As I sit in easy pose with my eyes closed, having just finished the meditation before closing the class, I can feel the silence in the room, waiting for the yoga teacher to que us on for the Long Time Sun, I can feel the yumminess of the work I’ve done all over my body and mind, and my soul is skipping in sweet Joy, WaheGuru!. My Kundalini Experience. How the “laws” of destiny work I cant be sure but one thing i do know is that if you are meant to have something in your life it will make its way in one way or another. This is the case of Kundalini Yoga in my life. In the course of one month all these events and people and music were linking me to an incredible new life, and I had no idea what greatness was coming. A White Tantric Yoga flier with Yogi Bhajan’s photo on it, and not having a clue who he was then except for a bearded man wearing a turban; the elevating music of Snatam Kaur’s angelic voice blew me away, i remember the morning I opened the store and began sweeping the floor while I listened to the songs of “Grace” and remember realizing I was crying and thinking, “why am I crying??, I dont even understand what she’s saying?!” What is this music??” The words Sadhana, and videos of bearded men in turbans were being flooded into my reality … wow! Then, by the works of Magick, as the Universe does it, I was invited to a Saturday morning Sadhana … Oh My Gurus!! I was home. I had found my Self in myself. WOW … a feeling I will never forget because it will never leave my awareness. The connection to who I Am and where I Am and Life … everything was clear, Light had blessed every aspect of my mind and body and now my soul was BIG, HUGE, I felt… I felt…….. I felt.

As I see it, Kundalini Yoga is the gift that keeps on giving. It goes into the web of life readjusting the patterns and puzzle pieces to ultimately help you feel happy healthy and whole. There are so many roads to discovering inner Happiness, roads that lead back to the I Am, and I’ve explored some of those roads, but Kundalini and Yogi Ji’s teachings delivered me to my Light. I Am the Light of my Soul, Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful.

Sadhana

by with No Comment Yoga
ekongkar

What is Sadhana?

Sadhana is a spiritual discipline done during the ambrosial hours (when the sun is at a 60% angle to the earth. Usually between the hours of 4am-7am & 4pm-7pm). This early morning practice of yoga and meditation clears the subconscious mind and attunes oneself to the infinite.
Because of the reverence this sacred practice requires, one covers the head (turban, bandana, etc) when doing Sadhana. Beginning at 4:30am with the recitation of Japji (“song of the Soul”, a prayer to uplift the soul) written by Guru Nanak, then we continue with the practice of a kundalini yoga kriya, and finish with chanting meditation.

The practice of Sadhana is for Self, it is to connect yourself to your true Self, and live from the true Self. Come experience the bliss and divine connection to your essence!

Held every Saturday at Biscayne Institute for Health & Living
2785 N.E. 183rd St, Aventura, Fl

Attalataa

by with No Comment KundaliniSikhismSpiritual LivingYoga

“It is for you to understand that you have to achieve, out of all achievement, one state of consciousness called Attalataa – ­unshakable experience of righteousness. . . When you reach and experience a state of Attalataa, there’s no sacrifice which you cannot make, there’s no person which you cannot confront, there’s no situation which you cannot pass through. . . Atta­lataa is the most desirable and highest consciousness which a person should achieve, and it’s living beauty is very divine. . . One thing I want to share with you is this Attal conscious-ness . . . can only come to you through the practice of Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga starts with Nam. Nam is to conquer the Kaam. Kaam means Vaashnaa, desire, desirousness. To transform this kaam, you have to use Nam . . . So, in human caliber, when you want to be somebody, and you want to be a finite who has the experience of Infinity, this is a practice given to you. This is how a person can correct himself or herself. There is no other simple method available. The minimum formula is one hour of sadhana, one hour of Kundalini Yoga kriyas, and a half an hour of Sa-Ta-Na-Ma meditation”.
— Yogi Bhajan

Yin and You: An opportunity for exploration

by KundaliniNatural HealingTantra

by Rachael Kennedy and Kim Keller

Tantric breathing

Breath is core to accessing the energy centers in our body. Following this three-step process, set aside 10-15 minutes to practice Tantric breathing, and notice the energetic effects you feel on your physical body.

Step One: Find a comfortable upright position (lying down can tempt you to fall asleep instead of finding focus). Place your attention on your pelvic floor as it rests in the chair or on the ground.

Step Two: Imagine there is a live wire of electricity running from your tail bone up your spine, out the top of your head, wrapping back down the front of your body, returning to your tail bone and back up your spine, creating a complete “circuit” of energy. As you inhale, the energy runs up your spine, and as you exhale the energy runs down the front of your body. Once you have this breathing motion moving smoothly and consistently, move to step three.

Step Three: With each inhale tighten your vaginal muscles. On the exhale, release those muscles. Continue contracting and releasing these muscles with each breath.

Practice this breathing pattern along with the muscle contraction and release for 5 minutes. If this exercise seems easy you may wish to expand your practice time to 10 or 15 minutes. However, this breathing can really “charge you up,” and if this is a new practice for you, be cautious not to overload your system. Practice gently, and notice the feelings you experience throughout the rest of your body — before, during and after the exercise.

The Ten Bodies in Kundalini Yoga

by Kundalini

The ten bodies of the human psyche are the yogic descriptions of what the perfected human being looks like and acts like. In order to be whole you must get to know all these parts of yourself and learn how to integrate and coordinate them.

You can’t control the events around you, but you can control how you relate to those events. Instead of being reactive, you can use your ten bodies so that your inner peace remains unspoiled.

You know where you have negative, limiting programs about life and about yourself: you’re too fat, nobody appreciates you, etc. Its time to change what you pay attention to and focus on your greatness, your subtlety, your grace, your majesty. The psychic heat you generate by focusing on your greatness will just burn up all that old pain!

1. Soul Body. The part in us connected to the Infinite; unchanging, non-reactive, never dies. To experience and identify with this Body is ideal.

The Three Mental Bodies:

2. Negative Mind. Identifies possible dangers or shortcomings in a situation; necessary for protection.

3. Positive Mind. Inspires us by showing the best possible results in any situation.

4. Neutral Mind. Takes the information from both negative and positive mind and decides on the best course of action using unbiased, intuitive knowledge, the ultimate state of mind for success.

5. Physical Body. The vehicle through which we participate fully on earth. It is perfected by balance in all the physical aspects: diet, work, play, and essentially avoiding extremes like laziness or fanaticism.

6. Arcline. Historically depicted as the halo. The arcline arches from ear to ear and is the seat of the akash, the ether, in the body. Its color varies with a person’s health and mental or psychic condition. Women have a second arcline reaching across the chest from nipple to nipple which Yogi Bhajan says gets imprinted with the sexual experiences she has had in her life.

7. Auric Body. The eighth chakra of the body, the aura, is the electromagnetic field of energy which surrounds every living creature. Kundalini Yoga kriyas and pranayama increase the auric field, thus increasing awareness. In yogic teachings, a woman is receptive to the penetrating quality of men. Even flirting can open holes in the aura, making a woman extremely vulnerable. A strong, radiant aura can protect from many misfortunes and strengthen our mental, physical and spiritual bodies.

8. Pranic Body. Controls the breath and takes in life force energy of the universe. Energy, control over the mind, gives courage and healing power. Pranayam feeds the Pranic Body.

9. Subtle Body. This carries the Soul to the Infinite at the time of death. It is the other Body with the Soul Body which exists after all the others have disappeared. The Mother makes all the other bodies. Often, we can project our subtle bodies beyond time and space to be at two places at once. The visions of saints and angels are their subtle bodies. It is that which although we are merged with the Infinite still exists uniquely through eternity.

10. Radiant Body. Gives spiritual royalty and radiance. A strong radiant body manifests as “charisma”. Their very presence works before a word is spoken. (To those who are in their negative minds it can be perceived as arrogance.)
