Benefits of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation

With a regular practice of Kundalini Yoga & Meditation you can expect to:

• Control versus Trust: As we gain more control over our life, we have less need to exercise control. Engaged in the process of discovering and accepting life as it unfolds, we feel more secure and trusting.

• Divine Attitudes: As we transcend the minds duality, new attitudes about life, ourselves, and others appear: acceptance, trust, gratitude, non-attachment, and forgiveness. We live with fewer expectations and judgments and less neediness, so we can relax and enjoy living.

• Character: Great mental clarity and focus is achieved, and it easier to act consistently, finish tasks, be fair, kind, and honest.

• Healing: Our healing powers manifest, and our presence, touch, words, and smile heal.

• Health: Our immune system is strengthened, and we enjoy vibrant health and abundant energy.

• Presence: With the development of our electromagnetic field (aura), not only is our health improved but we become more magnetic, graceful, and effective human beings.

• Pure knowing: With meditation comes intuition — we know and feel what is right and best and no longer have to rely exclusively on trying to reason through the pros and cons of each situation.

• Protection: Intuitive powers alert us to dangers, and we do not attract negative forces. Sometimes the Universe changes our plans so that we avoid accidents.

• Prayer Power: Neutrality humility, and devotion clear the channels for our energy to align with cosmic forces, assisting our prayers to be heard and answered.

• Joyful Living: Life becomes relaxed and fun. We feel taken care of, become “unreasonably happy,” and experience a continuous hug from the Cosmic Teddy Bear!

• Higher Awareness: Through meditation, we establish an intimate relationship with ourselves and the Divine within. This relationship opens us up to higher level relationships with others.

• The Universal Connection: The congruent alignment of body, mind, emotions, and sprit opens channels to other dimensions of existence, and universal knowledge unfolds within our mind.

• Becoming a Force for Good and World Peace: The more we elevate consciousness and the quality of our internal being, the more positively we affect the world and those around us. Inner peace helps create outer peace.

• Problem Solving: We can become more efficient and effective at handling our life challenges. By changing our attitude and perspective, being less emotional and more detached, we empower ourselves to attract solutions and move from being a victim to an active participant and co-creator in our own life.

• Cleansing: Yoga and meditation powerfully cleanse our physical and energetic bodies, making it possible to release negative conditioning, emotional baggage, and debilitating attitudes and beliefs. This energetically opens the space we need to acquire beneficial habits and access our personal will.

• Opportunities and Value Fulfillment: The ability to manifest our deepest desires reveals itself. As we perceive and draw opportunities to us, we no longer have to go out and manipulate or fight for what we want.

  
  

Benefits of the Gong

The sound of a meditation gong induces a state of spontaneous meditation and relaxation, which facilitates the movement of chi or prana (positive life force) throughout the body. On a physical level, the vibrations eliminate tension, stimulate the circulation and glandular systems, and regenerate the parasympathetic nervous system. Listeners experience a sense of connectedness and peace. They are lulled from a Beta, or awake state, into a Theta, or lucid dream state; a state that allows our bodies to heal and rejuvenate. The sound waves gently clear blockages to restore inner harmony.

Other benefits include calming the mind and stopping internal dialogue; rebalancing the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies; and awakening higher states of consciousness that are conducive to healing and transformation. A gong bath lets your entire body relax, renew and rejuvenate. In turn, this leaves you feeling content, clear headed, energetic and optimistic.

One must be trained to use the gong, or he or she could inadvertently disrupt someone else’s energy field or nervous system.  All teachers who play the Gong in their classes at O’Shea Yoga have been properly trained.
