Optimize Your Health and Happiness with Practices from the Kundalini Tradition
Of the dozens of schools of yoga, the kundalini tradition has been called the most powerful for its ability to awaken higher consciousness. To help us experience this rich lineage, Harijiwan Khalsa offers Kundalini Meditation , a practical two-session program for learning how to recognize, expand, and direct our energy through the chakra system.
Drawing on three decades of teaching experience and his mastery in using the gong to help students shift unproductive energy patterns, Harijiwan invites us on an illuminating journey that
The life-force energy known as kundalini―and how to use it to unleash your highest potential • Your eight chakras and how they manifest specific behaviors in the physical world • Communicating from your upper chakras for improved clarity and understanding • An eight-chakra gong meditation designed to remove negative energies and amplify positive ones • The “Wah He Guru” mantra, a healing practice for connecting to health, harmony, and bliss “Working with kundalini energy and your chakras isn’t magic,” teaches Harijiwan, “but the results can be magical.” Kundalini Meditation offers transformative tools and teachings to awaken the full potential of your awareness―and help you enjoy life in ways that you might not have even imagined.
I enjoy the challenge of reading something for what it is despite my prejudice. A lot of what I read here is what I would think of as placeholder truth. For example, if I live my life as though these ideas are true, I might gain more than I lose, despite the fact that my belief isn't absolutely, scientifically true. Meditation has definite benefits and having a framework with which to investigate where actions and feelings are coming from and to change them to something more positive or just let them go can be useful. Obviously there are many other practises which give you similar tools to work with, but it's always nice to try something new and see how other people do it as part of an ongoing process.
I've found that the books/information available specific to Kundalini yoga are more limited than I would like; this was the most readily-available title I found.
I was completely on-board for the first half of this lecture, which addresses the chakras specifically and what kundalini yoga focuses on. The second half was hard for me to connect with. It involves a gong and actual meditation, which is nice to try, but I had a hard time off-loading traumatic life experiences "into the sound of" a gong, honestly. Maybe I just need to learn more.
interesting.deeper understanding of what certain chakras do or dont do. And never realised to use them for successful communication. or what to use when/which type of comms. Much more aware of the possibilities.
