KUNDALINI Yoga Boot Camp

Break Out of The Cocoon and Spring into Transformation

Jai Gopal — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:20:59 +0000

“The way of cowardice is to embed ourselves in a coccoon, in which we perpetuate our habitual patterns. When we are constantly recreating our basic patterns of behavior and thought, we never have to leap into fresh air or onto fresh ground.” –Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche

Kundalini Yoga Class: Self-Confidence, Standing on The Bear and Coming Full Circle

Jai Gopal — Tue, 25 May 2010 04:25:24 +0000

Finally, in the last part of this mediation I was in the high desert of New Mexico, on the land where we do our Summer Solstice practice-- Ram Das Puri, just above Espanola. As I stood on the ground, I saw water-- cool, clear, spring water bubbling out of the earth. It flowed a little, pooled and then seeped back into the earth. I could see from that mini-dream-in-meditation that everything comes full circle. [...]

Lessons from H.H. The Dalai Lama: It's Your Love, Don't Lose it

Jai Gopal — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 01:23:56 +0000

Think about that. "It was his love to lose." He had achieved a state of mind that viewed the whole world with love. He earned it. He had more to lose than his captors, who were clearly taking the low [...]

Jai Gopal — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 23:33:32 +0000

Patience pays. The illusion of not enough time is so prevalent right now. The most important thing you can do is to slow down-- especially before making big decisions. Don't let anyone pressure you into making a big decision before you are [...]

Using Commitment to Pull Through to Your Intention

Jai Gopal — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 00:55:23 +0000

Think of commitment to your intention like a story where the hero throws a grappling hook with a rope across to the other building and then pulls himself (or herself ) across. Your intention is getting across to the other building and your commitment is that grappling [...]

$400K experiment shows Yoga helps relieve chronic back pain | Los Angeles Times

Jai Gopal — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:50:06 +0000

It’s funny to see how much yoga is catching on day after day. As a teacher I see articles like this and I’m glad the word is getting out, but it also makes me laugh a little bit because we’ve known it for a while through simple experience, that yoga works, even without the $400,000 [...]

This week I’ve been teaching sets that clear the lymphatic system and strengthen the immune system. One of the greatest things about Kundalini Yoga and yoga in general for that matter is that it acts very directly on the glandular system. Also known as the endocrine system. (hang on while I google [...]
