In his second year at Shambhala Mountain Center in Colorado, Gurudev taught the Quantum Breath Meditation technique to a group of more than fifty participants.  Here are a few of the sharings that may reflect your own experiences with Gurudev.

I experienced meditation for the first time.  I learned new ways to breathe and use my breath to change. I could not get to sleep the first night so I did the ujjayi breathing technique and felt my body relax and my mind release.  In the past when I tried to meditate it seemed like a pointless waste of time.  Your explanation and guidance have been amazing.  Sally Schneebeck

I have always wanted to experience meditation.  There has been a constant force when trying to achieve, trying to obtain a result, trying to find the answer.  What I realized this weekend is that all the answers are within me.  God placed them there.  And meditation is easily achieved with Gurudev's simple technique.  His presence and energy and devotion and wisdom from above is so real.  There are no words to explain it.  My confusions about spiritual practice and who and what I should be practicing under and about became untangled this weekend.  An instruction to stop trying to find it outside myself.

Love is the elixir of life, the nectar that nurtures every level of our body and being. Our inborn, evolutionary urge to merge compels us to search for love and the promise of completion it brings. We seek love in its myriad forms and in every expression of life, craving the experience of ecstatic union, where the walls that separate us from others dissolve into oneness.

With our first breath in, we arrive in this life pure and without attachments, yet it is an existence devoid of consciousness. As infants, we live purely in the moment, delighting in our own toes and giggling at whoever shows us affection. In these early years, our demands are purely biological. When we are hungry, we cry and are fed. When we are wet, we get irritable and our clothes are changed. When we are tired, we get restless and are tucked into bed. At this stage, closeness to our mother is not personal affection, but an instinctual bonding for the fulfillment of basic needs and the preservation of life.

Without a doubt you are in a relationship.  The relationship with yourself, which is at the core of all other relationships.  Gurudev skillfully looks into all aspects of relationship in his new book The Yoga of Relationships.  This includes Communication, Self Awareness, Loving without Holding, Gratitude, Forgiveness and many other facets.  Mixed with real, interactive dialog with his students, the discussions and the teachings open us to an awareness of the pivotal role we play in each relationship we have.  Buy your copy today!
