Kundalini Yoga For Everyone

Many people feel that they have have no self control or they can't help it when they have thoughts that they act on.  As Kundalini yogis we know that if you can conquer the mind you can conquer anything.   You can  take an unfocused monkey mind and actually train it. Now I am not talking about dog training here.  I am talking about training your own mind with self discipline .  Discipline actually means to become a disciple  of your highest self. Many people balk at he word discipline because it has a feeling of someone else controling you. When you are in control of your mind you are not controlled by anyone.
When you learn to meditate you don't have to look outside for self discipline.
   Kundalini Yoga meditations are based on ancient technology .
   There are meditation  techniques you can practice to conquer addictions, overcome depression, to deal with emotional pain in your life or to learn how to concentrate so you can study better. There are thousands of techniques that Kundalini yoga has to offer that you can draw on when you need it.
   You can come to class to learn them best or you can order a meditation manual from  Yogatech.com or spiritvoyage.com.  It is always best if you can to learn a Kundalini yoga meditation from  a teacher who learned it directly from Yogi Bhajan or has practiced it for many years.  I was very fortunate to do this.
    You can practice the meditation once , and it will feel great,  but if you truly want to get the benefits it is best to practice it at least 40 days.   As my friend Allison puts it... " Repetition, routine , reward. "   Or in Kundalini Yoga we say  create a Sadhana(daily practice) become Aradana(you become that practice), Prabhupati ( you master it)

  In our western culture we are moody, trendy, we compare, we measure, but do we really experience?
  Our society offers endless forms of yoga classes .   There is yoga for perfect alignment and form, "hot" sauna room temperature yoga classes, yoga for building muscles, yoga holding difficult postures and yoga for wimps. The list is ever-growing concoction of everything imaginable.
   You can try them all .  You can practice a different kind of yoga every day or mix them all together. And what do you get? Nothing.
   Kundalini yoga gives you the ability to focus. When the focus is strong and you persevere, then you reap the benefits- like a calm mind, a body that feels strong and flexible, happiness and a deeper spiritual serenity.
   With conscious breath techniques, posture (asana) movement and mental focus, you can heighten your ability to be totally conscious and aware of what is what. You'll experience living in the "now" tasting life and loving life. It teaches you how to overcome obstacles, go beyond your limitations and tap into your own powerful human potential.
  One can remain in status quo for years, or they can wait for things to get bad and then wake up. It is only by making a conscious decision to start a Kundalini yoga practice and not waiting for  a magical time like losing weight, finishing school, or cleaning your house. Now is a good time to focus.
