This morning I decided to write down a few reasons why you should do early morning meditation and yoga. It is vitally important not to have any attachment or expectations about beginning an early morning practice. The Aquarian Age is motivated by inspiration – not by dogma and rules. Why Meditate Early in the Morning? Sadhna means spiritual discipline, and in the Kundalini Yoga tradition, this is generally taken to mean a daily early morning practice (though it could mean a p

It has been said that It doesn’t matter what your external life is like if you don’t have access to the soul you are poor. The teachings encourage us to; turn our attention inward by closing down the nine holes (sensory orifices) so that our inner light can shine. Our self-illumination can then shine a light for others.

What's happening during meditation? Don't try to solve your problems. Take them to the highest part in you and drop them. With the world and with others give your strength.

What is Meditation, what is happening when we meditate? I would like to share this part in 2 stages. This first part is an introduction to the soul nature and the relationship between mind and soul. In the second part I would like to talk more about the actually process; what is happening when we meditate. Meditation is seen as illogical and irrational to many. To discuss it?s value we have to establish a founding principle, once and for all (though we will need frequent remi

I would like to share some thoughts about meditation. We will take it in stages. Firstly WHY Meditate (today), then WHAT is meditation, what is it’s essential nature, WHEN to meditate and then HOW to meditate. WHO is the meditator is also an interesting question which we can weave into our discussion. Please read this information slowly, let it sink in, if you don’t have time now wait till you do.
