Most Beautiful English Words

Transform Your Life

No, I am not referring to the phrase “I Love You”, although that is perhaps the most beautiful phrase in the English language, I am referring to 3 distinct words, which if you can plan your life around, will turn your life around.  Yes, these 3 words are the most beautiful words that exist and they have the power to transform your life in ways you could never have imagined.

These 3 great words are awareness, courage and yes, love did make the list too.  So how can living these words profoundly change your life?  Let me expand on that below.

Suffering in Life

Freedom from Suffering

Life on earth is the perfect University for Enlightenment (read The Magical Gate to the Best School for Enlightenment), and to help us realize the perfection of the moment and our perfect, divine nature, life often has to use pain and suffering as a tool.  This is simply because it is so easy to go through life on autopilot, asleep to the reality of the moment, that pain is needed to wake us up.  Even those who have great passion for the Truth, are sometimes in need of shock therapy to bring them back on the path when they stray.

Core Yoga Exercise

Yoga for Core Power

A Kundalini Yoga class with my teacher, Ravi Singh, was almost never complete unless we had done our core power yoga exercises.  Over the course of my training I realized the many benefits of developing this center and later, once I began teaching yoga myself, I too ensured to include some abdominal exercises in every class.

Improve Memory with Meditation

Meditation Good for Mind and Brain

Interested in improving your memory?  Want to have a more robust mind and sharper thinking process.  Forget the mind for a moment, want to be more compassionate and have greater empathy?  Want to have all of the improvements above and more?  If so, the answer is one simple word – Meditate.  And it is not just me who is saying so, it is also the research scientists at Harvard Medical School who are saying it (Mindfulness Meditation Increases Density of Brain).

Courage and Self Esteem

Self Belief and Fearlessness

Self Confidence is a key, not just for success in manifestation, but also a key for making genuine spiritual progress.  We all know the important part confidence plays in ordinary life, allowing you to make great strides in your personal development, career, relationships, etc, but in the spiritual realm self confidence is equally important.  In the spiritual realm you have to have confidence in your ability to work your way through the illusion of duality and the ensuing suffering, and the self belief that you will be able to find your way out of the chaos.  At the end of day, as I have often said, enlightenment is a path walked alone.

Overcoming Fear

Fear of Death

Here is a great experiment I shared in the free Mastery of Meditation newsletter a few months ago.  I think it is worth doing by all of us, as it helps us overcome the fear of death and in the process teaches us how to live.

Overcoming the Fear of Death

I want to share with you all today an extraordinary excerpt for the great teacher J. Krishnamurti on death and why we fear it.  In addition, I want to suggest for you a particular experiment on death, which I feel was incredibly helpful in helping me in my own spiritual evolution and I am sure which you be of great value to you as well.

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.
