Yoga Helps Meditation

Yoga and Meditation

From the point of view of meditation, Hatha Yoga or any other physical yoga practice, is a supplemental science that facilitates the practice of meditation and moves you further along the road to Self Realization.  In fact, one of the primary reasons I took up yoga initially was to enhance my sitting during meditation and I am glad I did.  Yoga has helped me a great deal in sitting for long periods of time and in deepening my meditation practice.

Awakening the Kundalini

Yoga to Awaken Kundalini

Kundalini Yoga exercises, poses and sets are designed to dissolve blockages in the gross and subtle body, and promote the flow of energy throughout all its systems and dimensions.  Ultimately, upon reaching certain critical thresholds, large amounts of energy can be released from the base of the spine and felt rising up the central column.  This phenomenon is typically referred to as “Awakening the Kundalini” or “Kundalini Rising” and can be quite a memorable experience for those who encounter it.

Lumbar Back Pain

Lumbar Back Exercises

When I was in high school, I was a member of the ski club and in preparation for the upcoming ski season we would start to do a wide range of exercises to prepare the body.  Now that we are heading into winter here in the North East, and my kids are a little older, I plan to teach them skiing this winter and so have decided to revive my high school tradition of preparing for ski season.

My latest series of Yoga Videos have almost all been uploaded on YouTube and I happy that they have been very well received by the YouTube community and blog readers.  The fact that these videos were found to be beneficial has of course inspired me to continue with this project, so soon I will be creating and uploading a new series of free yoga and meditation videos to both the blog and YouTube.

Here is a comment I just received today on my YouTube channel and it is such feedback that makes all the effort worth it :-).

Energize Aura

Build Your Aura

One of the earliest poses I learned in Kundalini Yoga was Eagle Pose and more than it’s benefit of helping develop one’s aura, my motivation for doing it was the challenge it presented with regard to keeping my arms up and straight.  As a beginner at that time, it was a new and different challenge for me and given my determined, obsessive nature, I must say I relished this challenge very much.

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.

2. You have not experienced much in terms of spirituality or transcendence.
3. You don’t see the poetry of life and nature.
4. You are too materialistic and frivolous.
