KUNDALINI YOGA

The Mother of all Yogas

Materialised Spirituality in a Virtual Age

Kundalini Yoga is not just a technology for the age; it is also a spiritual science for the future. The planet and all who live on it are experiencing the struggle that goes with transition and transformation. In astrological terms we are on the cusp between the Piscean and Aquarian ages. However the ages of humanity stretch much further in time than mere astrological cycles. Over hundreds of thousands of years we live nothing more than a year in cosmic terms. In terms of human evolution we have passed the summer season and are now experiencing the storms of autumn. What follows is a peaceful winter.

In this age of rapid and accelerating change there is a call for, and a need of, practices with immediate effects. This is not just to satisfy a modern culture of denying causes and suppressing the symptoms of our unhealthy lifestyles. It is also very appropriate in times of uncertainty where our nervous system is under a lot of pressure and there is more information coming at us than our minds can cope with.

Kundalini Yoga is the science of sequence, rhythm and sound, working on every aspect of the body, mind and soul. It is an ancient system to conquer the mind, expand consciousness, improve health, flexibility and creativity and overall self-maintenance. Unique in its combination of dynamic exercises (asanas in motion), combined with breathing (pranayama), mental concentration, integrating meditation, mudra and mantra, Kundalini Yoga is taught in specific sequences of exercises to create a very precise and certain effect. Its comprehensive nature, which includes the many teachings of Yogi Bhajan, makes it a perfect tool for the requirements of the transition to the Aquarian Age.

We live in an age where burn-out and stress symptoms are less the exception and more and more common place. Our concern needs not only be with our material survival. Nor is it enough to adjust our life style for the sake of the planet's ecology. Ultimately it is only the soul that remains. Each individual must ask themselves if they wish to be a Soul Survivor. If so then it is essential to know your real self, to have a strong nervous system and a balanced glandular system for increased stabillity and focus, as well as an accumulation of spiritual vitality. These are some of the benefits from practicing Kundalini Yoga.

With the breakdown of extended family structures and traditional community networks there is also a need to discover new forms of human community. The Internet seems to present the obvious alternative but in reality it is a sad compensation for deep need in the heart of all beings.

It takes the meeting with other human beings to awaken our sense of humanity. It is only through human interaction that we can heal the human wounds.
We are most human when we meet in a shared rather than a private space. hence the importance of events like the Great British Yoga Festival.

True community is a bridge between the individual soul and the universal soul. In a shared space with other human beings we learn to serve and to accept being served. The attitude of gratitude is inspired and the possible human is discovered.
All who enter the Kundalini Yoga ambience find the general atmosphere to be peaceful and uplifting. In this way it is an oasis in the midst of a culture where anonimity and the intellect tend to rule.

It is acknowledged that one cannot learn Kundalini Yoga from a book. To attend a class is to partake in a conscious sense of community. When people meditate, chant or pray together then the effects of the practice are exponential and multiplied many times over.

Give your soul access to a new breath and a new future. For details of classes in the UK & Ireland visit www.kundaliniyoga.org.uk
