At the completion of my Kundalini Yoga teacher’s training program, my teacher Ravi Singh held a yoga camp which I attended with my wife. The entire camp was great, but one evening stood out more than others. The camp was held in a peaceful resort tucked away in the hills of upstate New York, and one lovely, quiet evening a few of us gathered around a campfire to enjoy some music and hymms.
Many of you have requested help in how to correctly pronounce various Sanskrit mantras, so I am putting together a new free online e-book which will focus just on mantras and thus, will provide you a central location from which to download all the free mantra MP3s that I will be uploading. Already on the site there are many powerful mantra downloads available, some in MP3 audio format, while others in MP4 video format. Here is a quick list of the most popular of these, and they will also of course be bundled into the free e-book in the next week or so.
In part 1 of this series on Meditations for Healing I compiled a big list of the health benefits of meditation as proven by recent scientific research. This list, although not comprehensive, should be ample fuel to motivate and inspire you to start using meditation as a serious tool for optimizing your health and supplementing any treatment plan. In this final part of the series, I am going to point out some of the wonderful meditations that are freely available on the website already, which are highly reputed for their curing and healing powers.
On the website, you find many powerful Kundalini Yoga Meditations, which combine the use of mantras, mudras and pranayama (breathing), to bestow profound material and spiritual benefits to those who practice them sincerely over time. Some of the most popular of these meditations are Sodarshan Chakra Meditation, Infinite Energy and Prosperity Meditation Technique and Tantric Sat Kriya for Transmuting Sexual Energy. None of these though, are actually considered the greatest Kundalini Yoga Meditation. This honor belongs to the mantra meditation I am going to detail for you today and it is called Kirtan Kriya.
Previously, in the series Clever Yoga Tips for Busy People, I gave some handy tips on how to incorporate some useful yoga techniques into your everyday life. These included doing the wonderful Kapalbhati Pranayama for Weight Loss and Health while walking or driving, and doing Toe Touches (Padahast Asana) while in the shower. But, today I want to share with your some very good tips which you can easily integrate right into your yoga routine, in order to get a whole lot more out of it. After all, you are doing your practice anyway, might as well get the most out of the time you spend on the mat.

Recently I launched the new mantras series, in which I bring you the greatest and most powerful mantras to help you with your spiritual growth and life evolution. The first of these great mantras was of course, the Gayatri Mantra, considered the most powerful mantra from the Hindu Vedas. Today I want to present to you another mantra which is of almost equal stature as the Gayatri Mantra, and is considered no less powerful. It is the timeless and profound Mahamritunjay Mantra (Maha Mritunjay). The mantra devoted to Lord Shiva.
Spring is finally here, a long winter is winding down and nature is eagerly waiting for warm, sunny days and refreshing, starry nights. This is a time for much celebration, and so to usher in this new season I thought it would be great to introduce the uplifting and joyous Smiling Buddha Meditation.
It is reputed that this meditation was prescribed to the Buddha, by a rishi (saint) to help him regain his positive mind and recover emotionally after a long stretch of meditation and fasting. Although, this meditation appears to be a simple technique, it is actually incorporating many important aspects of Kundalini Yoga to achieve it’s results.
Of all the mantras in the Vedas, the most revered and powerful is the Gayatri Mantra. This mantra is certainly the most recited and also, perhaps has the widest range of applications. It is not just used to express one’s devotion to the Lord, but is also used for jap meditation (mantra chanting), chakra meditation, naad yoga, putting the kids to sleep , etc. In addition to Hindus, the Gayatri mantra is embraced by Buddhists as well.
