21 Stages of Meditation (Stage 6) For Absorption in the Crystal Being

This meditation comes from the 21 Stages of Meditation Book (p.112-120). This meditation can help to banish depression, energize, become crystal clear to absorb into your highest version of yourself, and make the unknown become known. The first seven parts are taught in full time. The original (suggested) time for the last part is 31 minutes. I decreased this last part to approximately 8 minutes. In this video I'm teaching this meditation to my peer group from the 21 Stages of Meditation Course.

"The Time is Now" Kundalini Yoga Class: Full Moon Class with Sodarshan Chakra Kriya

I'm grateful to share this video from the most recent 40 Day "Take out the Garbage Series" at Lotus Yoga Centre. Recorded on Jan 31, 2018. It was held on the full moon. Every time I teach is truly a gift. I felt that teaching on this day in particular had special meaning considering all the fluctuations going on in the world. The blessing at the end of class felt like it came directly from the Divine.

The Kriya is an old gem taught by Yogi Bhajan. It's a vigorous kriya for sure. Just do your best. It is so old the kriya was just called, "Kundalini Yoga". This kriya was received from the Beads of Truth Publication, No  33 &34.  To purchase other classes from this challenge with various teachers (including my videos) please visit www.lotusyogacentre.com.

Beyond Love....

Beyond love for your loved ones
Beyond love of being right
Beyond the love of being in love
Beyond love of seeking for your awakening
Beyond judgement
Beyond the confinement of religion
Beyond the collective fear
Beyond the material and immaterial

Love your Self
Love every corner of your spirit that aches in the smallest way with longing to be at Home within the Self.
Love every thought knowing the mind is not the master.
You already embody the Divine, sensual and sensitively to know when you are not responding in Love, especially for Self.

For in Love the cosmos reveals your reality
And the spirit will rest in the womb of being in peace
Comparison cannot live in love
Be the space between words and breath
Welcome the imperfection within the perfection and the uncertainty
For God’s sake Be You
Because God is Love
Because Love is Love
And everything is made from that

Martial Arts Warm Up Exercises

Yogi Bhajan highly encouraged those who practice Kundalini Yoga to also train in martial arts. This is a series of gentle martial arts warm up exercises called Tao Yin that uses regulated breath and movement to facilitate the movement of qi/prana in the body. Noted the series is being facilitated quickly for the primary purpose of showing the sequence. Each exercise should be performed 2-3 x's slowly to receive full benefit. If you turn up the volume you can hear the instructor guiding the specific breathing for each exercise.

Upcoming Workshop in December 2017!

Relax, Renew, Be You:
Holiday Stress Reduction Workshop

Date : Sunday, December 10    Time: 1:30 – 4:00 pm   

Location:  Lotus Yoga Centre: 100 Harbord Street, Toronto

‘Tis the season to be more stressed…or not? In this stress reduction workshop, you will learn valuable and practical tools on how to decrease your stress long after the holiday season is gone. Come prepared to experience engaging Kundalini Yoga kriyas, meditations and pranayamas.

Kundalini Yoga reduces stress by strengthening your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of your nervous system that allows you to relax and stay calm despite challenges you face in the moment. It also balances all of the energy systems (chakras) and endocrine system so all parts of you are working in harmony.

Shamanic drumming and gong sound healing is included. Give yourself the gift of self-experience and a moment to pause this holiday season. Intermediate and enthusiastic beginning students welcomed! No previous experience with Kundalini Yoga is necessary.

New Video! Exercising the Central Vagus Nerve Kriya

Sat Nam. Here is a new video! This was one of the first classes taught at Lotus Yoga Centre for the 40 day Fear Less Challenge. The Kriya is Exercising the Central Vagus nerve. The 40 day meditation was Aadays Tisai Aadays Aad Aneel Anaad Anaahat Jug Jug Ayko Vays. The class was streamed live. Due to how the recording was set up you can only hear instructions, not music. It is a great class that will invigorate you and help you break from your fear based patterns. Enjoy!
