The first and last things
we do in this physical lifetime
are to take a breath. Along
with oxygen, nitrogen, and
carbon dioxide, the breath
contains prana, the life force.
We are regularly taught we
can't live without oxygen; it is
also true we can't live without prana, the vital force
that energizes the mind,
body, and consciousness.

Breath is the Place to Start PRINCIPLES TO REMEMBER: 1. Your rate of breathing and your state of mind are inseparable. 2. The slower your rate of breathing, the more control you have over your mind. 3. The mind follows the breath, and the body follows the mind. The breath is a fundamental tool for the Kundalini Yoga student. The average rate of breathing for most people is about sixteen times per minute. When the rate of breathing increases, or if it becomes rapid and irregular, the mind also becomes disturbed and erratic. More on

SUMMER SOLSTICE SADHANA CELEBRATION
FEATURED TEACHER
Ramdesh Kaur
|
 Sat Nam Beloveds, I can't wait to join you on the hill at Guru Ram Das Puri. It's one of the high points of my year, and I always feel like I'm coming home to friends and family. But more than that, I feel like I come home to myself. It is a sacred environment that delivers challenges, thrills and countless blessings, and there is always time for me to take a quiet moment and reflect on my journey. Most of all, it is a time to relax and get back to the natural rhythm of my own body. How does it feel when I take a cold shower under the sky? How does it feel when hot wind caresses my skin like the walls of a canyon? How does it feel to chant to the sunrise with thousands of other souls? It feels like Love. This year, with my life busier than ever, has been about learning to relax more. I've focused on learning to coax my body into relaxation and deep peace during stressful times. I've created a CD of guided meditation, visualization and relaxation to be released at Summer Solstice by Spirit Voyage, and I'll be teaching a class on just this. We'll go deep into an astral journey (joined by Harnam Singh), and then relax into a powerful shivasana with live music from another amazing Spirit Voyage musician or two. We'll de-stress and release tension from each part of our body, and if you are a Kundalini Yoga teacher, you'll learn how to guide your students through this type of yogic sleep. I hope to see you there to relax and renew, and uplift and unwind with you! Blessings, Ramdesh Kaur |

2011 SUMMER SOLSTICE PARTICIPANT
TESTIMONIAL
|
|
"I have attended Summer Solstice in Espanola New Mexico for the last two years. The circumstances which initially led me to Solstice were tragic and traumatizing. However, the experience of Solstice was reassuring and defining of the path my life should take. It was/is the only time where I could concentrate on developing my inner ear...that ear that listens to me and not the noise created by a world of fear and dispair. Sadhanna every day was the most special time of sharing enlightenment with others in a non-verbal form. Summer solstice has provided me an opportunity to rebalance my life and redirect my efforts so that I may continue experiencing my life in a more abundant manner. The place where Solstice is held is special in many ways and you can feel the calm and serenity set in as soon as you approach it. It is definitely a special place which is enhanced by the instructors, lecturers, and attendees every year."
