    Manifestation 101

    If you only got time to learn about one thing, learn manifestation.

    It’s very important to understand the process of manifestation because EVERYTHING in our lives, we manifest, whether consciously or not.

    We manifest from our subconscious mind. Fancy word. A synonym for ir? Your body.

    Your body takes on all the emotions, thought forms, traumas you’ve pushed out of your consciousness. Every blink of the eye, you download a 1,000 thoughts. You only get to be aware of one, the rest is dumped in the subconscious mind, aka your body.

    This is why Kundalini yoga works. It removes the blockages in our subconscious mind [body] to align ourselves with our greatest destiny, the most fulfilling life that is our birth right and was ours all along.

    The more we practice, the more we get to clear the subconscious mind, the more we open the channel to receive all that is waiting for us in the infinite Universe. All the joy, all the light, all the happiness, all the prosperity. We open the gates to let the flow come in. We remove the barrier between us, a drop, and the ocean.

    You can’t think your way through. Positive visioning by itself cannot get you there. You have to move the body, shake the stuff out, position yourself at the right angle, so you can align your soul with your purpose.

    Kundalini yoga gives you the precise postures, movements and mantras to get you there. It’s the most efficient technology I know of to move you from your current state to where your soul wants to go. It’s an efficient transportation system appropriate for these high-tied times. You in?

    New Moon in Sagittarius & Solar Eclipse – December 4, 2021

    Tend to your soul. Listen to the whispers of your soul. Experience your soul.

    This feels very appropriate. Sag is Fire, the suits of Wands in Tarot, the Wands represent your soul calling.

    Sag is wisdom through experience, a deep knowing that goes way beyond the mind.

    For years, decades now, I’ve been searching for the meaning of life. My life. My purpose on Earth this time around. Wondering, getting caught in mind games, lost in complex thought forms.

    It was there all along. The call of my soul is to experience my soul. To be so full of light, so expanded, so so so happy. To shine the light in every corner of my being, big white bright light all around me.

    As Yogi Bhajan says, the purpose of life? To enjoy life.

    The purpose of my soul is to experience my soul.

    Kundalini yoga connects you with your soul. It gives you the experience of your soul, the Infinite light within you.

    So that’s it guys. Nothing outside, nothing to get, nothing to do or to have. It’s not complicated, it won’t be reached once I’m done with all my to dos. My job is to cultivate the light and carry on.

    What’s yours? What is the call of your soul?

    Codependent, no more.

    The goal of any relationship? To enjoy the relay. And the ship.

    I believe relationships are a powerful vehicle to propel us into our highest destiny. It’s easy to create a vision by yourself, do things your own way, and dream of your ideal partner and relationship. You beam it through your 3rd eye in every meditation. You pray for it every morning and every night.

    Then you get it (because you do Kundalini yoga and it’s the most efficient technology we know of).

    And suddenly, all of the old patterns come up. You thought you were spiritual, and you end up getting mad for stupid shit. You’re not the embodied goddess you dreamed of anymore.

    Relationships can trigger old patterns and bring out the best – and the worst – of us. A big one I believe is tendencies towards people pleasing, which I found is rooted in a deep desire to be loved and a fear of not being enough. Of course, you need to nurture the relationship and take care of each other, but you can’t be responsible of your partner’s state of being, emotions and happiness. Easier said than done when you love someone so much.

    So how do we move from a state of codependency, where our feelings and happiness are so intertwined we can’t be in our sacred space, to a state of interdependency, where we thrive together while understanding we all have to walk up the mountain by ourselves?

    We practice yoga and meditation. With accuracy and discipline. We find time to get on our mat, even for 3 minutes a day, to get back to our essence. So that we can be our full selves while being together.

    Fists of anger

    Being human is frustrating. We got plenty of reasons to be angry: we have to wake up, feed our body, carry it around, sleep again, do stuff. It’s normal to be angry when our soul so big and bright has to fit into such a tiny vehicle.  

    Therefore fists of anger. Fists of anger has been part of my daily morning practice since 2019. Within a week, I saw tremendous change in my reaction toward other people, especially one co-worker I couldn’t stand no matter how much compassion and acceptance I tried to force in my interactions with them. 

    Try it for 3 minutes a day and notice the changes in your life.

    Cat-cow

    Every day, I start my morning practice with cat-cow for 3 minutes. I also do it whenever I feel stuck in my shoulders or my back, or whenever I feel the need to move the energy, after a long day of working or a long drive for example. 

    Posture: Position yourself on your hands and knees. 

    Eyes: Keep your eyes closed, gently focusing up and in at the brow point. 

    Breath: Inhale as you stretch the chest open and lift your head, moving into cow pose. Exhale as you curl your back and pull your navel in toward your spine, cat pose. Repeat, continuing at a moderate pace and increasing the speed and power of your breath as you gain flexibility of the spine. Do not be afraid to breathe deeply and move quickly! The more quickly you move, the more antiaging benefits you receive!

    Time: 3 to 5 minutes

    To end: Inhale and stretch the body up into cow. Exhale and pull the navel in. Inhale to a neutral spine and relax the buttocks to your heels, bringing your forehead to the ground, stretching your arms on the floor in front of you, and placing your hands together.

    Sat Kriya

    I practice this set everyday and will for the rest of my life. It sets my navel point each morning, is great for my digestion and regulated my hormones. I started first with 3 minutes and I’m now at a minimum of 11 minutes. When I get to do 31 minutes, it feels wonderful. 

    Sat Kriya is essential to the practice of Kundalini Yoga. It is one of the few exercises that is a complete action in itself. It is a kriya: an action or series of actions that completes a process and has a predictable outcome. Most kriyas consist of a series of exercises that synergize. Sat Kriya can stand alone like a precious gem. Any serious student should master this kriya. A beginning student should start with 3 minutes every day. The time can be built up from that base.

    The main impact of this kriya is to tone the nervous system, to calm emotional disarray, and to channel creative and sexual energies of the body. The entire sexual system is stimulated and strengthened. It relaxes and releases many phobias about sexual behavior, potency, and capacity.

    If you have time for nothing else, make this kriya part of your daily promise to yourself to keep the body clean and vital temple of God.

    Sat Naam is the bij or seed mantra. It is small and potent. Great things grow from it. If it is not written in your destiny to be with God and know higher consciousness, this mentra engraves it in your destiny. Sat Kriya is to purify your being. Disease, ailment, weakness, impotency, laziness, and negativity – all improper things will leave you.” – Yogi Bhajan

    Who is it for? 

    Sat Kriya is fundamental to Kundalini yoga and should be practiced every day for at least 3 minutes. Its effects are numerous.

    People who are severely maladjusted or who have mental problems benefit from this kriya since these disturbances are always connected to an imbalance in the energies of the lower three chakras.

    Meditation for healing addictions

    This meditation was one of the first meditations I started practicing daily. It is part of my fundamental morning practice. I practice it for 3 minutes every day since 2019, and I do 11 minutes whenever I can (instead of scrolling Instagram or playing on my phone, if I have a couple of minutes I’ll do it). 

    It helped me get rid of food cravings, addictive thought patterns and most recently, drop co-dependency tendencies I didn’t even know I had. I’ve heard multiple stories of experiences similar to mine. Try it for yourself, observe what pattern drops for you and let me know.

    “There are two things – infinite addiction is love and addiction is habit. But your life runs by addiction, you are all addicted to one thing or another that’s why you repeat mistakes sometime because it is addiction. Anything in which your senses do not make sense and you do it is the outcome of addiction. And everyone is addicted, politician is addicted to politics, a holy man is addicted to religion, a man of God is addicted with God and a thief is addicted to thievery.” – Yogi Bhajan, April 12, 1989, Los Angeles

    Who is it for? 

    This meditation is for anyone who ever struggles with addiction (pretty much all of us), which goes way beyond addiction to substances and includes addiction to our phones, certain thought patterns, eating, drinking, emotional love, rejection, work, etc. 

    “We are a nation in addiction, we are in bondage of addiction, we consume sixty percent of all drugs produced in the world, we do, we have laws, if all the laws are implemented seventy eight point three percent all citizens will go to jail for three years minimum.”  – Yogi Bhajan, May 2, 1990, Santa Fe 

    If you’ve ever tried quitting smoking or any other type of addiction, you’ll know how difficult it can be to rely only on will power. Our addictions are deeply rooted in our subconscious mind, and trying to get at it using our conscious mind is a real challenge.

    Imbalance in this pineal area upsets the radiance of the pineal gland itself. It is this pulsating radiance that regulates the pituitary gland. Since the pituitary gland regulates the rest of the glandular system, the entire body and mind go out of balance. This meditation corrects the problem. It is excellent for everyone but particularly effective for rehabilitation efforts in drug dependence, mental illness, and phobic conditions.
