You can be the master of your own mind 05/31/2010
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) CommentsLeave a Reply | AuthorWrite something about yourself.
