... Thanks to you all at Shepard's Bush Gurdwara and to Shiv Charan Singh / Satya Kaur for the amazing "Mind & Meditation" teachings ...
And thank you all for your patience these last few days, while Ive been "off the technology grid"! 

Sometimes, silence is the only way to give yourself a chance to hear your inner voice and cultivate the meditative (neutral mind). Constant chatter from your negative and positive minds, cloak thoughts and distract you from your highest good. 

"A meditative mind gives a clear consciousness and makes a person intuitive". Yogi Bhajan

Join us in class for the next six weeks, where we will be experiencing Kriyas for the negative, positive and neutral minds alongside meditations that develop and support your mental capacity/function.

Looking forward to seeing you back on your mat again soon.

Chakras and Class Changes

Chakras (from the Sanskrit word "wheel") are energy centres - in Kundalini Yoga there are actually eight: Root, Sacral, Navel, Heart, Throat, 3rd Eye, Crown and the all-encompassing Aura (Electromagnetic Field). 

Often seen as the junction points between the physical and subtle, "they interact and influence our thoughts, moods, health and other bodily functions" (GSK - Chakras,Physical Wisdom & Healing)... Although currently unmeasurable by Western Science they are recognised as "Energy X".

This week in class we will be practising a Kriya for Balancing the Chakras & Corresponding Organs and a silent meditation to "Stimulate Your Chakra System & Feel Wonderful" (From the Reaching Me in Me Manual). 

...Share your experience with your fellow yogi/yoginis by making a comment below ...

What an amazing week! New month, new moon, new season - green shoots and blossom already in abundance everywhere.

Got off to a great start with the monthly workshop at the Ishta Centre, followed by "Opportunity & Green Energy" set at the evening classes; plus "Nervous System Overhaul" to complete the six week programme in Stoke "Yoga For Stress Relief & Relaxation" - and already looking forward to our next programme for "Yoga For Health & Well being" - keep up your pranayam practise until then!

If you've been feeling a bit "stuck" these past few days, don't forget to check out the KRI meditation of the month and join in with Nirvair as he demonstrates Haumei Bandana Kriya
... "There is a way through every block" ... Sutras of the Aquarian Age. 

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and it needs to be experienced, so if you're able to travel to London this month, check out Gurmukh's (co-founder and director of Golden Bridge, Los Angeles) individual and weekend workshops from April 21-27 2014.




Now it's time to share your experience of the workshop /classes / your personal Sadhana by leaving a comment below - looking forward to hearing from you
