Most of us live very busy and hectic lives.  If you are married, have children, have a job, you are going to be busy and even if you don’t have all these commitments, you are probably busy nonetheless.  Throw in other activities you may be participating in, such as higher education & training, a fitness routine, other hobbies & interests, sports, blogging etc., and 24 hours starts to seem like awfully little time per day.  Unfortunately, what seems to often get sacrificed in keeping up with the rat race is the one thing that should not, your daily spiritual practice.  So in this series I will give some handy tips on how you can get more Yoga and Meditation practice into your busy lives by doing some clever multitasking.

OM (AUM) Mantra Meditation Video for Kundalini Yoga Class
Kundalini Yoga Videos: OM (AUM) Mantra Meditation

Well Yoga & Meditation friends, finally here comes the first Video on Mastery of Meditation.  It is a video of the OM (AUM) Mantra meditation and starting prayers we do before any Kundalini Yoga Class.  I know it’s a bit overdue, but now that I have figured videos out… expect me to go overboard, as I normally do, and pound them out by the minute :-).

Bhakti Yoga & The Path of Love – Quotations to Uplift Your Spirit
Insights from the Masters of Meditation series: Bhakti Yoga

In Tantra Yoga there are 2 paths to Enlightenment and Self-Realization;  the path of Love or Bhakti Yoga and the intellectual path or Jyana Yoga.  Being a devotee of insight meditation, Zen Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, my approach has traditionally been Jyana Yoga and that is evident by the wealth of such articles here on Mastery of Meditation such as Brain Development & Enlightenment – Insight Meditation, Silent Mind Meditation Program – Silent Mind Meditations, Enlightenment via Who Am I Meditation, etc.  That being said, I find myself now drawn to Bhakti Yoga as well and the Path of Love and am finding this to be a wonderful dimension to enrich my life and practice with.

Sheetali Pranayama: Hatha Yoga Breathing Exercise #6

Free Online Video of Sheetali Yoga Pranayama

(Video #5 of the Online Yoga Breathing Exercises Video Series)

What is Sheetali Pranayama:

Sheetali Pranayama is Yoga’s answer to heat, stress, anger and irritation.  Sheetal means calmness and peacefulness and those are the results of practicing this cooling breath.  I recently undertook the practice of Sheetali Pranayama when an internal heat imbalance took place within my body and I am happy to report that the energies within have been cooled and equilibrium has been restored.

Explosive Kundalini Rising In Yoga Class Today
Kundalini Yoga & Meditation Classes Series

As I looked around in class today I noticed the students were all experienced with Kundalini Yoga.  Although from a Yogic perspective the few months they have been learning and practicing Kundalini Yoga is not much, given the power of this system, I know it is not insignificant either.  What this allowed, of course, was for me to take the class up a notch in terms of level and difficulty.  I also know that many of these now experienced students actually relish the challenge of more advanced Kundalini Yoga Kriyas, so this was the perfect chance to teach them that.
