Winds of Change

”A sense of timing is the mark of genius.” – Jenny Holzer

Rhythmic intelligence is that there’s a natural rhythm to your flow. You know you’re in it when you feel like you could keep going at the same pace forever.

Regulating the breath regulates you. Correct breath of fire is an even inhale/exhale that you feel like you could do forever. We each have a set number of breaths before we die, but Breath of Fire only counts as one breath.

Switching nostril dominance (left is cooling, right is energizing). Can also be done by closing one nostril or massaging the armpit (opposite of the one you want to open). These also switch naturally throughout the day.

In the temple of the body, the pavan guru is the leader of the breath.  Go deeper into the structure and experience the Vayus.

In your own native language, you can feel the rhythm of the sound & align yourself to that naad frequency.

It’s a command language, not an affirmation falsity. In affirmation culture, you end up activating the opposite of what you want because you’re putting all your negativity into it.

Our kundalini yoga mantras, both in English & Sanskrit & so on, use permutation-combinations of the tongue on the roof of the mouth (which has 84 meridians) to physically activate specific neurological sequences of the mind.

The Gurmukhi (the Punjabi alphabet) we use holds the sound in the shape of the glyph. It actually shows you how to move your tongue. It’s also a beautiful representation of the purusha / prakriti principle—the upper heavens, & the creation that comes down and follows (from) that.

Replace the chaotic sound chambers of your past thoughts and imprints with a more powerful and elevated sound. That’s where the mantra comes in.

You will need 90 oz of water after this kriya.
