Sat Nam,

on page 447 of acquarian teacher traning manual, it is written about
"Pavan Pavan Pavan Pavan Par Paraa, Pavan Guru Pavan Guru, Wahe guru,
Wahe Guru, Pavan Guru" that "the mantra is from Guru Nanak's JapJi".

Sat Nam, Fateh and everybody,

I think the key phrase in your message is "if not done obsessively
and with fanaticism, it should not hurt them." I've recently begun
practicing Kundalini Yoga in a gentler way, trying to pay more
attention to my body to avoid injury. For example, when doing a
spinal twist, rather than using lots of muscle and building up great
speed, I let my breath gently power the twist, keeping my spine
straight while trying to avoid creating tension.

I saw a KY video where the teacher told the students to keep speeding
up their spinal twists, faster, faster, until they were moving "quick
like a spinning top." Then I took an anatomy class about the back,
where the teacher cautioned against such activity due to the
restricted structure of the lower vertebrae. I think it's important
to find a balance.

I feel satisfied with this conversation, as my understanding of the issues has been expanded. I had sadness a while back when the GLBT formed another yahoo group, as I wanted to find out what were the issues for them in being/living Kundalini Yoga. This would have assisted me in mutual respect.

To put the issue in wider perspective, Yogi Bhajan left no "group" untouched in his teaching style of poke, provoke, confront and elevate. Our culture has a very high use and abuse of "sexual energy" so the GLBT issue is super charged, on both a personal and community level.

The discussion has reminded me of the Kundalini Yoga teachers oath: "I am not a woman, I am not a man, I am not a person, I am not myself, I am a teacher."

As it pertains to the entire spectrum of GLBT and how I personally explain to those asking about Kundalini Yoga and even Sikh Dharma.

"everyone is welcome, we have a live and let live attitude plus we don't lead with our sexuality"

call in # 712-432-3900 Access code 450438#

Here are a few guidelines. Calling in from a land line is best.
second best is cell phone, then skype, followed by vonage.

Hi,

What are their names? What are their contact numbers? Do they teach anywhere else beside the Miri Piri Academy?

or maybe I should ask if they want to be included in the new section "Kundalini Teachers from Other Countries" on the wiki? Send your photo in, your bio, etc. ect. ect. (movie the King and I)

Sat Nam,

8. NEW Video Series with Siri Singh Sahib ji - Awakening of the Khalsa
Posted by: "satmitar" satmitar@yahoo.com satmitar
Date: Fri Apr 17, 2009 3:38 pm ((PDT))

Sikh Dharma International invites you to celebrate the Awakening of the Khalsa with us. Every week from Baisakhi through June, we will release 11 historic video Gurdwara lectures by the Siri Singh Sahib in which he explains the significance of the martyrdom of the Akal Takht in 1984 in depth and how it relates to Sikhs and the whole of humanity. Join us in this journey of awakening in this season of renewal.

Be the first to view the video entitled, "The Union of Spirituality and Royalty." In this lecture, the Siri Singh Sahib explains, "if a Sikh is a religious man, it is not enough. If a Sikh is just a royal man, that is not enough. That's why Guru Hargobind put together, the imperial power and the spiritual power, Miri and Piri, the royalty and the spirituality together; it's a combination which has never been understood so thoroughly and practiced so well."

To view the clip, visit http://sikhdharma.ning.com/

To view the entire lecture, visit http://www.sikhdharma.org/

[Kundalini-Yoga] Re: Gay marraige

Sat Nam, Tho I've always thought civil unions should be a first step--this would not have allowed Karl Rove to outlaw gay marriages and civil unions in 20 plus states. No country in the world has adopted gay marriage without first adopting civil unions. That said I thni 3HO could take a lesson from the Unitarians and United Church of Christ and other local congregations of many faiths to be openly "welcoming and affirming" to all. And this means welcoming and affirming, not just tolerating. After all, who knows who in their next lifetime might be gay?

[Kundalini-Yoga] Re: Kundalini Yoga and Yin Yoga

-Dear All

I love this question. In the early days it was only Kundalini Yoga and that was it. When I realized that our weakes point was our allignment I strarted taking Anusara and that was 11 years ago.
there is nothing like Kundalini but studying Anusara has helped me
help my students all over the world with thier postures inside Kundalini yoga.

I also started doing it because my bone density wasn't great. Doing arm balances and using my body weight as weights has helped.

Kundalini Yoga is my linage, my love and I will do whatever it takes
to support that and make things deeper and better for my students.

[Kundalini-Yoga] 3 year anniversary of 3HO's international yahoo group

Hey yogis,

Amar Atma here, creator of the international kundalini yoga yahoo group later adopted at the websites of 3HO and IKYTA.  Just a quick note that this past Monday marked the 3rd anniversary of this group's creation.  2,180 yogis from almost every part of Earth daily are interacting on the Yoga of Awareness.  Let's keep the conversations going, on all the goods, services and ideas out there, to carry us through the Aquarian transition to a healthier, happier, and holier world. 

Remember, to get just one email per day (the daily digest) from this yahoo group, instead of being emailed every time someone submits a post, go to your membership info and make the change there:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Kundalini-Yoga/members.

Also, please encourage your area yogis - both teachers and experienced students - to join, with an email to kundalini-yoga-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Finally, don't forget to join the KY facebook group, here:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=731767570#/group.php?gid=2210052176&ref=ts

Hope everyone is strongly considering following Yogi Bhajan's advice to revolve ones life around Summer Solstice; get the details here:  www.3ho.org.

Sat nam,
Amar Atma

[Kundalini-Yoga] Re: Kundalini Yoga and Yin Yoga

Nadh Singh,

In addition to Kundalini Yoga I also practice and teach a Russian method, Vaganova ballet. They combine it with a Stretch class that is closer to Kundalini Yoga than any class (including Yoga classes in the States) that I have ever seen. They use this training on their Olympic athletes: the gymnatsts, skaters, and ballet dancers. They also do cat/cow repeatedly, building the speed. If you think back to the times when the Russians used to sweep the Olympics, (Olga Korbut comes to mind,) American coaches didn't have access to the training and the government support that the athletes in the Eastern Block countries did. My feeling is that these teachers (from the East) have been miles ahead of us for years. Sometimes Westerners think other methods are "unsafe" but if you practice for say 20 or 30 years, you tap into another dimension of healing and results. Nadia was another gymnast who showed this mastery and amazing ability. To experience it, you have to get out of your head, and into your body. It's what artists do.

As part of my research, I bought Paul Grilley's Yin Yoga DVD and watched the 2-hour course included in the DVD set. Yin Yoga distinguishes itself from other yogas by the fact that it stresses the joints of the body, not the muscle, partially to increase the hyaluronic acid in the synovial fluid present in the joints. As part of his course, Grilley mentions that when we create a rhythm and a repetition to an exercise that focuses on the joints, we will undoubtedly get hurt. When he said that, I immediately thought about "Cat Cow" in Kundalini Yoga, where we flex the spine up and down and our head goes up and down in the opposite direction. Does this mean that Kundalini Yoga is in opposition to Yin Yoga? It just sounds like when we do "Cat Cow" for 5 minutes or so that we're undoubtedly causing injury to ourselves, since it works on the joints of our spine in a repeated, rhythmic fashion?

Re: [Kundalini-Yoga] Mung Beans?

If none of the other solutions are viable for you (depending on your
location), you can also order online at Amazon.com -- I just did a
search for "mung beans" and found several options.

[Kundalini-Yoga] Re: teeth

Someone on this website introduced me to Dr. Ellie's work. She was a dentist for many years. Her website is www.zellies.com. I have been doing her system (which to me is like yoga for your teeth.) The results have been excellent. I have found that grounding really helps with the teeth, as well.

[Kundalini-Yoga] Re: Kundalini Yoga and Yin Yoga

Great explanations everyone.

My only addition is a couple things:

1) When you get "tennis elbow" - is this the kind of repetitive joint-related injury that perhaps this DVD was alluding to?

Because I recall in a class just recently my teacher was telling me as we were doing an exercise... "This is good for preventing tennis elbow, too". Unfortunately, I forgot the exercise... But I think the general point is, that many of the postures and sets we do pinpoint areas and joints to improve flexibility and functionality, and if not done obsessively with fanaticism, it should not hurt them.

2) Golf. Twisting of the spine. Extreme torques. All sorts of old dudes playing it. Seems like their spines are ok. Some spinal twists out on a nature walk, anyone?

Just my 2-Rupees...

-Fateh.

Kundalini Yoga, is there a secret behind it?!

Hi,

Welcome to the Kundalini Yoga Blog here in my blog I will post articles, videos, photos and updates a bout this great yoga technique. So, What is Kundalini Yoga?

Kundalini Yoga was brought to the West in 1968 by Yogi Bhajan, who founded the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization soon thereafter to spread the teachings. Kundalini yoga contains thousands of kriyas (collections of asana postures to achieve a goal inherent in the title of the kriya) and meditations, often with pranayam (breathwork) and mantra.

"Kundalini Yoga teaches you the techniques and awareness to stay healthy. You gain strong immune, glandular and nervous systems. This foundation gives you energy and lets you deal with the mental and spiritual facets of your life.”
