Japji, also known as the Song of the Soul, is the love of my life. After about three months of daily chanting, one Sunday morning I felt bliss-the kind of bliss that makes you realize that all is well and always will be, like a message from God wrapped up in a physical, cellular experience of heaven.

As Kundalini Yoga teachers, you have the possibility of assisting your students to feel safe, to help them learn to relax, and to increase their experience of self-efficacy and sovereignty.

The more that you understand what is happening, the more that you can go through all of the changes without losing your balance and stability.

I often say to students that you cannot stay the same when you practice Kundalini Yoga. The very nature of what we do is to awaken the energy of consciousness, to practice in a way that sheds light on our self-imposed limitations.

I recently decided to play Gurbani Kirtan (sacred music) in the O.R. during anesthetic inductions.

Each human being has an inner guru which is guiding them through time and space. This mantra is a recognition of that guru and it is humbling the ego before this internal wisdom.

It is more important now than ever to send out gratitude—even to your losses, for they are now the story of your beautiful unfoldment in Spirit. 

Be generous with your spirit. It is the light within you that will change the world. You don’t even have to speak. Your presence will speak volumes.

In the Aquarian Age you must know the truth that you have everything you need, already inside you. It is your birthright to live free from fear, doubt and worry.

We are each a part of the same family of humankind, and each step we take toward personal inner peace and conscious action is a step forward for the peace and conscious action of all.
