"The
process of self-healing is the privilege of every human being.
Self-healing is not a miracle, nor is it a question of being able to
do something that most people can't. Self-healing is a process that
occurs through the relationship between the physical and the infinite
power of the soul. It is a contract, a union - that is the science of
Kundalini Yoga." -Yogi
Bhajan
 When
we are born, we are not given an instruction manual on the care and
feeding of the human body, but we should be! Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga
of Awareness, is the instruction manual that we need to live a
healthy, peaceful, fulfilling and conscious life. Kundalini Yoga is
the ancient scientific technology for happiness, and it provides this
happiness by "balancing the glandular system, strengthening the
nervous system, and enabling us to harness the energy of the mind and
the emotions, so we can be in control of ourselves, rather than being
controlled by our thoughts and feelings." (from Kundalini Yoga,
The Flow of Eternal Power; by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa, Page 7;
Available from Ancient Healing Ways catalogue at 1 800 359-2940.)
Kundalini Yoga promotes the better functioning of our bodily systems,
it increases our radiance and the impact we have on others, it
promotes emotional balance and enhanced intuition, it helps to
eliminate negative habit patterns, and promotes a general sense of
relaxation and well-being. In short, the benefits impact all aspects
of our physical, mental, and spiritual being.
Yoga means "yoke," or
"union," and practicing Kundalini Yoga provides us with the
scientific technology for merging, or yoking, our individual
consciousness with the universal consciousness, and creating a divine
union. The goal of Kundalini Yoga is to give you a hands-on experience
of your highest consciousness.
Kundalini Yoga is a very complete
science, and deals with the physical body, the triad of the
body-mind-spirit, and with the subtle energies of the body, such as
prana (life energy) and the chakras (energy centers on the spine). It
works on these different aspects of our being by using mental focus,
breathing techniques, mantras (sound vibrations), postures (body
positions), mudras (hand positions), and relaxation to scientifically
provide a more healthy, happy and holy way of life for each person who
practices it. Yogi Bhajan says that with Kundalini Yoga, there is no
such thing as "past." Past experiences are recorded in our
subconscious mind and on a daily basis they affect our actions and
outlook on life. Kundalini Yoga cleans our subconscious mind so that
we are no longer victims of our past.
In addition, Kundalini Yoga is the
best yoga for householders since it gives results in the shortest time
without requiring that we live an ascetic life, removed from the
day-to-day world. We are changing from the Piscean Age (the past 2000
years) to the Age of Aquarius, and Kundalini Yoga is the perfect tool
for this new age. In the past, religious leaders and prophets shared
their experience of God with people, but individuals did not
experience Higher Consciousness directly themselves. In the Age of
Aquarius, people want to have a personal experience of Higher
Consciousness. We can experience this within ourselves and achieve
self-healing and self-mastery through the connection with our own soul
provided by Kundalini Yoga.
