In a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation (KYM) class, there are mantras, kriyas (physical postures), and pranayama (breath). These are a part of “Jap” repetition movements, breathing, and chanting which will create heat for physical strength, stamina, and mental focus. You can optimize your physical and energy bodies by utilizing “Jap” repetition.
Preparing for a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation class:
Do not eat anything 2 hours before the class.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing >>> Yogi Bhajan said to wear white clothing to expand your aura by at least one foot. (By having a strong aura, you can automatically filter some of the negative influences in the field.)
Bare feet >>> stimulate the 72000 nerve endings
Head covering - cotton cloth >>> to support focus while practicing yoga and meditation: the head covering enables you to command your 6th Chakra center, to tighten the cranial together, and to stabilize the cerebral mater, which is interlocked with the neurological system and electromagnetic field.
Yoga Mat and Blanket – sheepskin, natural fiber, wool material, or carpet mat >>> choose the best insulator to keep you grounded during meditation.
During Your Practice:
Listen to your body and do what works for you
Challenge yourself and keep up
Follow the directions. Do Not exceed the stated times; shorten practice time if you wish.
For women, when on Moon cycle/during pregnancy, avoid strenuous kriya and breath of fire.
After Your Practice:
Drink lots of water.
Pick a kriya, pranayama, mantra, and/or meditation to go home with you.
