It is a scientific method, it is experiential and it works fast - There are 72,000 meridians on the roof of the mouth.
- The tongue touches the roof of the mouth and causes changes.
- Chanting a mantra brings in sound.
- Sound is a vibration and vibration affects energy,
- A simple mantra because of it's sacred meaning, can have a powerful vibration when pronounced and projected correctly.
- This creates an energy that can actually have an energetic effect on your mind-waves and thus change your mind. [this is discussed in Beginning Student path section]
About Kundalini Yoga
- For thousands of years yogis preserved and carefully guarded the knowledge of the inner and outer workings of a human being,
- very cautiously revealing the technology,
- selectively passing it down verbally from Master to chosen disciple.
- They were selective because knowledge gives power, and power can corrupt.
- Kundalini Yoga was always kept very secret. It was never taught publicly until 1969,
- When Yogi Bhajan challenged the ages-old tradition of secrecy.
This is a yoga for householders,
- for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and
- stresses of holding jobs,
- raising families, and
- managing businesses.
- It gives results in the shortest possible time.
- It does not require you to leave your home,
- become an ascetic or sit in a cave.
- Kundalini Yoga is designed to give you "hands on" experience of your highest consciousness.
- It teaches a method by which you can achieve the sacred purpose of your life.
- The practice of Kundalini Yoga balances the glandular system,
- strengthens the nervous system and
- enables us to harness the energy of the mind and the emotions,
- so we can be in control of ourselves,
- rather than being controlled by our thoughts and feelings.
- Of all the technology and wisdom that Yogi Bhajan could have taught from his vast storehouse of mastery,
- he chose to teach Kundalini Yoga because it is so effective, comprehensive, and so "do-able."
