Meditation in Kundalini Yoga Meditation in conjunction with the practice of Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is the most effective, safe and powerful way of achieving heightened awareness and increased states of consciousness. The practice of Kundalini Yoga strengthens the nervous system and the entire physical, mental and emotional well being of an individual. You can then utilize these higher frequencies brought on by meditation. The experience is gradual, safe and enjoyable with the ascent of the Kundalini energy bringing on attendant pleasures and a deeper sense of wholeness and inner connectedness to the Divine within. A daily practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation brings the meditative mind into everyday life and elevates day to day living to a higher plateau. This is the form for the "householder" and done together, the joys and challenges of regular life are "ridden" instead of them riding us. We learn to become the watcher, and all becomes indescribably delicious. Always warm up your body with a Kundalini Yoga set before a meditation. Begin your session with the tuning in mantra "Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo", chanted 3 times (meaning I Bow to the Creative Wisdom that resides within me). Create a quiet and devotional space for your practice. Upon completion of your meditation, chant "Sat Nam", meaning Truth is my True Identity, to close. Songs to Create Mental Clarity Position: Simran, which means the constant remembrance of the Infinite, is particularly effective for relaxing the mind. You can use a simple mantra, such as Sat Nam, or a more complex sound, as in the ones below. These chosen mantras help in creating mental clarity, and conscious concentration. Sit in a cross legged position (or a chair if unable to sit), with hands resting on knees in Gyan mudra, index and thumb tips pressing. Eyes are closed can look at third eye point. Focus: Let your thoughts melt as you consciously concentrate on the mantra. Breathe normally, but be conscious to breath or chant along. Recommended mantras: Dhan Dhan Ram Das Guru, for miracles and will bring peace to a troubled and ever wandering mind. Rakhe Rakhanhar, for protection against all negative forces, inner and outer which move against one's walk on the path of destiny. It cuts like a sword through every opposing vibration, thought, word and action. Ardas, this is the mantra that prays for you, it will save your grace, rewrite your destiny through this prayer. Time: 11-31 minutes per day. Recommended 40 days. To End: Inhale hold your breath and concentrate at the third eye point and exhale, do this three times. Close with Sat Nam, hands at the heart center in Prayer pose.

Five Sutras of the Aquarian Age
Recognize that the other person is you.
There is a way through every block.
When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off.
Understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times.
Vibrate the Cosmos, Cosmos shall clear a path.
Sat Nam, Live your Truth and be truly free.
