Onions, garlic, and ginger are known as the Trinity Roots. In the yogic diet, these foods are essential for cleansing, sustaining, and producing energy. They detoxify our internal organs, feed our glandular system, regenerate our creative and sexual energy, stimulate our immune system, and help clean and rebuild our brain function and entire nervous system.

In the Kundalini Yoga tradition, the human being doesn’t consist of just one physical body, or two (physical and mental), but rather ten—one physical body, three mental bodies, and six energy bodies. As you’ll discover in the practice, many of the exercises ignite the energetic bodies and things we cannot see, but feel. Kundalini Yoga engages all ten bodies, therefore working on multiple levels in a deep way.

Bow your head and pray from the heart. Prayer is beyond time and space, a call to the higher self, and a request that the Infinite come through for the finite. To pray is to call upon yourself to be yourself.

Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras have sustained the world over thousands of years in their wisdom. Kundalini Yoga suggests that a New Age calls for its own words to live by—as such, the Five Sutras are the guiding principles for Kundalini Yogis as we transition into the Aquarian Age.  

Eating nourishes us and gives us life. It brings families and communities together. When done with intention, it’s a wonderful and important part of a conscious lifestyle.

Despite the efforts of the $70 billion sleep-aid industry, many exhausted people are still searching for ways to get the sleep they need. Unfortunately, sleeping pills are the dominant treatment strategy for insomnia. Sleeping pills don’t work for everyone, have side effects and do not address the underlying stress that is keeping you awake.

According to yogic philosophy, a person’s consciousness evolves through a precise set of transitions every 7 years, 11 years, and 18 years. These are known as the Life Cycles—the 7-year Cycle of Consciousness, the 11-year Cycle of Intelligence, and the 18-year Cycle of Life Energy. Each cycle contains its own experiences and opportunities for expanding spiritual, mental, and physical strength.

Sat Nam Rasayan, which translates to deep relaxation in the true identity, is an ancient healing art and contemplative practice. The heart of the method is pure, meditative absorption on the Divine, and the potential for spontaneous healing that comes from it. While considered a yogic technology, Sat Nam Rasayan is a healing modality—not a yoga practice. 

In yogic practice, the hands are an energy map of our consciousness and health. Each area of the hand corresponds to a certain part of the body, as well as to different emotions and behaviors. 

Kundalini Yoga recognizes three mental bodies: the positive, negative, and neutral mind. The movement, breath, and meditative techniques work to develop the neutral mind, which happens when we achieve the internal balance and harmony that comes from regular practice.
