The Journey of Self-Discovery
Kundalini Yoga is an ancient practice which will awaken your awareness to a higher power and help you connect with your original, original self. It is a natural unfolding of your innate nature and has the power to help us understand and recognize what it is that disconnects us from our authentic self. Discovering this is life changing, it is the road to healing yourself and living a life of clarity and true freedom.
Kundalini Yoga works on our Chakra System:
We have 7 major chakras – a series of energy points in the body, each of which deal with different aspects of our emotions. Becoming familiar with them helps us recognise where our problems stem from. They are: Root – Sacral – Solar Plexus – Heart – Throat – Third Eye – Crown).
Every Kundalini Yoga class is different and will systematically deliver a feeling of oneness and clarity, taking you on a journey through the chakras using different kriyas (actions) all of which have a unique value. Each time you come to class you will learn something new about the powerful shift on your awareness of self Kundalini Yoga can help you achieve. There are kriyas to cleanse and purify the major organs; remove and unblock energy from the chakras; create clarity of the mind. We are all unique and have different layers created by our life experiences. ~Kundalini helps remove the layers and reach the root cause of these layers and blockages helping to reveal the authentic you.
We experience a profound shift when using the breathing exercises (Pranayam), yoga, meditation and relaxation, we become more aware of how we can shift our awareness and begin to be present and focused within our physical body. The tools and techniques have a profound cleansing effect both physically and mentally.
We start to become more conscious of the things that block us from experiencing the connection to our higher energy. These blockages are clues and signs, guiding us to the way ahead – allowing energy to flow through us.
Kundalini Yoga has the capability and capacity to help you heal yourself of both physical and emotional hurts. The energy of pain gets blocked in our energy system, keeping us stuck in in cycles that hinder our ability to live pain free and completely authentically. By listening to our body, getting to know our and understand our chakra system gives us the power to identify where the blockage is, and the power to do something about it.
‘Mind Chatter’ causes so many ‘blockages’ and in a busy world where there is so much to think, can be debilitating. With the use of meditation, we can observe our mind chatter and recognise the disharmony we hold within that comes from our limiting beliefs. The miracle of Kundalini is the ability to develop the strength and vision to acknowledge these blockages, and more importantly, do something about them.
Why ‘The Yoga of Awareness’?
With regular practice, the body starts to become awakened to new states of clarity and acquires the ability to focus the mind. Blockages are unlocked, we become more sensitive to our intuition and are able to listen to the body as it shows us what it needs to achieve harmony. The gift of self awareness brings about greater clarity giving you the power to work on your physical and mental strength. Maintaining that higher energy enables you to live authentically, protected by a higher power.
Kundalini Yoga is a tool that uncoils our dormant potential – activating this energy through practice re-introduces you to your authentic self.
Meditation is the practice of pure awareness, we are able to listen and watch, and discover the power of letting go, stepping into the ocean of silence reminding us that this state is our true potential – a sea of infinite possible. We experience deep clarity, we see the world in a different way. We are limitless and we realise it.
Creation is our power. Kundalini Yoga helps create that feeling of trust in ourselves, it helps us find that authentic voice inside. Our truth eradicates all fear and doubt unfolding our creative potential.
Relaxation teaches us that the body holds what the mind holds. Letting go of the mind chatter allows you to drop into a place of pure silence allowing you to feel the transformational and heaing effects Kundalini delivers.
