A morning Kriya from our last 21 Day Sadhana, the Sacral Chakra, relating to sexual energetic power and mastery.
The body has a lot to say when we learn how to relax the mind. In fact, the body knows exactly how to heal itself through breath, movement, vocal vibrational resonance, sound, mudras, mantras, and Drishtis or focal points of the eyes. The eye gaze / focal point is one of the most important, if not the most important part, as it directly impacts the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve controls the nervous system. Our society is living under an epidemic - actually, many epidemics and crises (learn more here in my podcast episode with Ron Rivers, and his book “Self Actualization in an Age of Crisis.') Ron mentions many crises that seem overwhelming to bare for the human spirit, and I would like to add what I have been digesting, in my own quickening or awakened understanding for this time and space reality.
The crisis I am referring to is the crisis of an inability to think for oneself. We also have the crisis of disembodiment, the crisis of brain overstimulation, the crisis of nervous system dysregulation, the crisis of noise pollution, the crisis of planetary destruction, the crisis of excessive advertisements, the crisis of consumerism, the crisis of the war on our consciousness, the crisis of sexual suppression, the crisis of identity, the crisis of barren creativity, the crisis of intimate loneliness, the crisis of genocide from the bombing and murder of mankind.
And we wonder why we wake up with such deep anxiety in our bones - because we are all connected - living as one consciousness. Your pain is my pain, your suffering, your joy, your everything under the sun is mine, too. Yet we act like toddlers, not wanting to share with others our abundance; those that have, do not want to give to the have-nots - not realizing that in truth, they are depriving their own soul of true joy and lasting sustenance. To feed others is to feed oneself.
The more deeply you connect with yourself - your present, past, future, and ancestral lineage, the more aware you become of how heavy the body truly is on a day-to-day basis - it carries memory.
Kundalini yoga has helped me tap into this deeper understanding of Knowing, psychic power, telepathic understanding, and general concern for humanity as a whole.
Westernized yoga does not always use drishtis /eye gazing, vocal mantras, or hand mudras and has dumbed down the effects of this ancient technology. This is mostly due to christianization (yes, I just made that word up and purposely used a lower-case c so that maybe all the christians reading this would get off their donkey on Palm Sunday and realize that their beloved Jesus was, in fact, a yogi).
Years ago, when I was indoctrinated, I attended a week-long “Holy Yoga” training in Minnesota to teach me yoga from a christian perspective. They sold T-shirts that read, “Jesus is my Drishti.” Lol, I cringe just thinking about how deeply my mind was ingrained in a fear-based system.
Kundalini is science, mathematics, astrology, numerology, sacred geometry, and architecture of the body.
Although rooted in the Sikh tradition, the wisdom of Kundalini energy is so old that, soon, modern-day science will be studying these practices and actually taking them more seriously, calling in an art form. True science eventually becomes an art, and true art is science.
The yogis knew what they were doing. They know the power of the mind and it’s relationship to the body. WILLPOWER is your greatest resource. “It is by WILL alone that I set my mind in motion.”
In my 2 years of training with my Kundalini teacher from India, Prakash, I am amazed at how far my mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies have strengthened. I am amazed when I see before my very eyes how appalling it is to live in a society with human beings who do not know how to think for themselves. I am disgusted by the inundation of marketing and propaganda- trying to control our minds and every thought and persuade my behavioral patterns to believe that I need more “things” so that I consume, consume, consume for the leaders of the Techno-Optimist-Manifesto pledge.
The Olympians are competing this week, but do you know how much of their sport is MENTAL ? Control your thoughts, control your decisions, control your destiny.
On August 12th, my teacher and I begin a new 21 Day Sadhana - focused on the Solar Plexus Chakra or the POWER CENTER Chakra. Every day at 7:30am Eastern Daylight Time we will spend 1 hour using these techniques to strengthen our personal empowerment, confidence, and vitality. Balancing this chakra is crucial—it helps dissolve self-doubt, build resilience, and foster the strength to navigate life’s challenges. Join us here: https://lnkd.in/ekdVCNBF
The last thing I want to do is sell you something, especially if it is something you don’t need. However, I am convinced that humanity is in DESPERATE NEED of a paradigm shift. Without one, we are on the fast track to our planet’s 7th extinction. A paradigm shift begins in the heart. It begins with the mind. It begins with the breath. The choice, is yours… or is it?
PS Here is a link to the song in my video if you like it, Halfway through the song becomes deeply spiritual. There is a moment when the playfulness and banter shifts, and the song becomes a mantra of worship and devotion to the Yoni…. can you feel the shift? Tune in. The Yoniverse, by Yehoo Shalem. Enjoy!
