Kundalni Yoga

Over the past few months I have been a student of kundalni yoga, learning of its power to heal the body using a reserve of untapped energy and potential within each of us. It’s the yoga of awareness because it awakens the "kundalni" which is the unlimited potential that already exists within every human being. For me it has taught me many cleansing pranayama (breath or life force) practices, which I have found very effective. It has also encouraged me to meditate on a regular basis. In the quiet of the morning when I breathe in the stillness is when my mind is most clear. My thoughts are directed to the truths about my life and who I really am. With the wonderful practice, again, I am overwhelmed with gratitude at the awareness I have been given about truth. I am reminded how easy I have been spending more time thinking of what I don’t have rather than what I do have.” A woman at rest and a woman comfortable with her femininity are enjoyable to be with. She is lovely. In her presence, we can relax. We relax and believe that once again all will be well. This is why a woman that is striving is so disturbing. She nonverbally communicates to others that all is not well and things are not going to be alright”. Stasi Eldredge

I desire to be this woman greatly and to emanate peacefulness, gratitude, and love.

I would not say that I am assuming this reaching style explicitly as I have so much more to learn about Kundalni yoga but I have experience the amazing power it has to heal and strengthen to body and human character.
