Winter Solstice 2016

Kundalini is when the energy of the glandular system combines with the nervous system to create such a sensitivity that the totality of the brain receives signals and integrates them. This is a very fundamental Yogi Bhajan teaching, which is that every sequence has a consequence. And you are the catalyst of the sequence. Either you or your subconscious thought forms are the catalysts of the sequence, which then have consequences.
In other words, a human becomes totally and wholly aware. We call it the yoga of awareness. Just as all rivers end up in the ocean, all Yoga does end up raising the Kundalini in a human. What is the Kundalini? It is the creative potential of the human.
Today we work on brightening and strengthening our radiant body and aura.

Vibrate the cosmos and the cosmos will clear the path. Humanity has yet to even scratch the surface of that possibility. If you want to be a great leader and visionary, then you must hold the pose for a long time. Everyone will think you’re crazy and you’ll fail a bunch of times, yet you hold the vision so long that the world sees it your way. That is what a visionary does. You do the yoga so you can practice this. The matter of whether you succeed, or fail is how long you can hold the posture, how patient you are and how deeply you can vibrate.

In practice with Kundalini, you hold for 11 minutes and get a taste of what it would be like to psycho-energetically hold your vision as long as you need to so the cosmos can clear the way.

The toxic mimic of this spiritual teaching is thinking that you just have to do your yoga practice. The dance is where you yield and where you push. This is the flow of Qi, love, & creativity. The eclipse season is a powerful time to work with this teaching. Where is it going to cultivate Qi to be patient and where do you need to push the gas pedal? The primal aspect of this dance is in the breath.

Your internal resources have to be developed when the external pressure is on. Your nervous system, a top resource, can hold you in a mood of reactionary stress (sympathetic) or calm (parasympathetic). The whole world is sympathetically dominated: what’s happening now? What’s next? Where’s the next place I have to be? When’s the next shoe going to drop? We have the tools to reset ourselves in Kundalini yoga. The gong affects your nervous system directly. When played wrong, it sets you into nervous anxiety, flight-or-fight mode. When played well it’ll put you into instant parasympathetic rejuvenation. Pranayama and meditation also give you the ability to reset yourself. You can shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic instantly, allowing you to handle any scenario, no matter the pressure.

“The most powerful people in the world know how to stay relaxed in extenuating circumstances. And that is parasympathetic dominance or sympathetic strength. So we want to develop this because also, all of the things that you think that you want… they’re going to require more of everything. There’ll be more whatever it is – more money, more love, more accolades, more whatever – but that’s going to require more of YOU. If the internal power you have doesn’t meet the external pressure, what is that? Stress.” – GJ
