I have to say that Kundalini Yoga is one of the most mystical types of yoga. I adore the experience, the impact it has had on my life, and I am eternally thankful for how it has transformed me and my life. However, I dislike the word "spiritual." It's so psychedelic!
I had no intention of being a teacher. I took instructor training for the experience — and it was fantastic — but I had no intention of being a teacher. The teachers wore white turbans, had unusual names and spoke phrases such as Wahe Guru and Sat Nam. It was so psychedelic!
The teaching, on the other hand, found me. One of the participants in the teacher training happened to work at my workplace and invited me to teach with him at his house. So it started. I discovered that I enjoy instructing.
Though I've resisted using the term spiritual, I can't deny that it's been my direction for the past seven years. So, what exactly does it imply? Spirituality, to me, is simply a relation to oneself and one's life, as well as an examination of the significance of these for the individual:
- Who am I, exactly?
- What is the most important aspect of my life to me?
- What is my point of view on life?
All, religious or strictly secular and scientific, should be able to choose their own values and beliefs, in my opinion. And I urge you to investigate and investigate your convictions and what they represent to you. But I don't mean that I'm looking for the "perfect one." I mean to discover a depth of purpose in life that is meaningful to you and brings you joy and passion click here for more info.
Kundalini yoga offers a particular kind of consciousness experience. An hour of Kundalini yoga can transport me to a state of deep and quiet interaction with life that I will fail to achieve on a silent meditation retreat. It's an amazing sensation. All you really have to do is try it out and see for yourself. For teachers, there are no laws or dogmas. If you'd like to wear white, go for it; if purple polka dots are more your style, go for it!
So I'd like to teach it and pass on my knowledge. And if that means donning white and a turban, I'll do it, even if it makes me uncomfortable. And it no longer does; I've grown accustomed to it.
So, if you ever see Sat-Nam-Ji in an email, don't be alarmed! The greeting Sat Nam is often used. Sat Nam translates to "Truth is my identity" or "This is the reality of this moment for me." It reminds me of consciousness and accepting what is present in each moment, and it feels like a two-finger salute to the "objective truths" (I shouldn't feel, think, or be this way). Whatever you believe should be specific, that's what is here, and this is what is real right now. Namaste.
Ji, like dear, is a word of endearment.
