Align with Your Highest Self- Kundalini Yoga & the Chakras

Cost: $25

“The energy of the universe is yours. It is your birthright. Just claim it.” Yogi Bhajan
Through Kundalini Yoga, the yoga of awareness, this 2-hour workshop will help you discover
and begin to explore your eight chakras. Each of these energy centers in the body radiates
a particular energy. We will use the powerful tools of Kundalini yoga – breath, postures,
movement, mental focus, and sound – to help us open and balance our chakras so that we
can live to our highest potential. Fundamental principles of alignment will be woven into our
journey through the chakras. When we work in conscious harmony with our spine and our
body in relationship to gravity, we allow the energy of the lower chakras and the wisdom of
the higher chakras to connect at our heart center, opening us to our Divine nature.
This workshop will be taught by Keval Kaur Khalsa,

Aquarian Sadhana
w/ LIVE music w/ Pritpal Singh Khalsa
http://www.pritpalsingh.co
Donations Graciously Accepted
We invite you to join our teacher trainees on their second weekend of training to enjoy the Aquarian Sadhana
practice during what are called the “ambrosial hours or amrit vela” (the two and a half hours just before sunrise).
When the sun is at a sixty-degree angle to the earth, the energy you put into your sadhana gets maximum results.
Your world is quieter.... It’s easier to meditate and concentrate before the hustle and bustle of the day begins.
Sadhana is whatever you do consistently to clear your own consciousness so you can relate to the infinity within you.
The Aquarian Sadhana is a specific sequence:
5am- Reciting of Japji Sahib (this translates to 'Supreme Prayer of Meditation')
5:25-6am - Yogic Set
6:00-7am- Aquarian Mantras w/ Live music
The Aquarian Sadhana mantras are 7 mantras/songs that correspond to each chakra. They have an intensely
powerful effect at deeply clearing your psyche.
During the ambrosial hours it is said the veil between heaven and earth is the thinnest...
"If you vibrate the Cosmos, the Cosmos will vibrate you."
Come quietly with an open mind and experience this powerful practice!
"In the early morning, there are a few magical hours when meditation sinks deep into the soul. When the
body, mind and spirit naturally want to merge and blossom forth. These are called the ambrosial hours, the
hours before the sunrise…. These sacred mantras can be played and enjoyed at any time but are most
powerful in the ambrosial hours. Use these mantras to set yourself for the day and get connected to
your soul’s peace and power." ~Yogi Bhajan

Special Tratakum Meditation & Celebration of Yogi Bhajan's Birthday!
Join us on Saturday, August 27th to celebrate and honor Yogi Bhajan's birthday! With a
special meditation you won't want to miss.
6:30-9:00pm
led by crystelle
Please sign up in advance, $22/door
We will begin the evening with a yogic set to prepare us for a deep meditative practice
called Tratakam. Tratakum is the meditative technique of gazing.
In the yogic Scripture it says, "Even a glance from the eyes of
a holy man can cure mental and physical imbalances."
There are several ways one can practice Tratakum. In Kundalini Yoga, there is a meditation
given by Yogi Bhajan where the practitioner gazes into a special photograph of the Master.
This photo of him was planned for and captured while he was in a deep meditative state of
samadhi (a high level of concentrated meditation/consciousness).
long enough for the photographer to take the picture so that his eyes would mirror pure soul.
This type of Tratakum meditation is known as "Guru Yoga."
This rare photograph is a very neutral one so that it reflects back to us better than a mirror!
It is said that there is nothing else that has the value of this meditation. It has the ability to
deeply cleanse our subconscious mind and help us to align with our own unique destiny.
"A photo with the direct stare of neutrality can heal and give you the instant ability to contact
your own inner guidance. Done properly and seriously, the karmas can be erased and the
individual destiny explained."
The meditation is 31 minutes. Please bring a journal/pen.
It is ideal to COVER YOUR HEAD for this practice, and you may also choose to bring a shawl or
blanket to insulate yourself during the meditation.
Afterward, we will have an amazing spread of treats to celebrate!: including a homemade
carrot cake, vegan chocolate cupcakes, fresh strawberry lemonade and yogi tea.
please contact crystelle@kundalinirisingy
Pass holders, please note: this is a special class. Cost is $22
A quality copy of the photograph will be yours to keep

Vegetarian Potluck & Yogi Bhajan Movie Night
"DISCOVER YOUR SOUL"
w/ free mini astrology readings with Suzie Kerr Wright!
Doors will open, and free readings will begin at 4:30, dinner will begin
around 5pm.
This
is a time to gather in a relaxed setting and have a meal and fellowship
together. Please bring a meat-free dish to share! Please RSVP with your

if possible, by emailing crystelle@kundalinirisingy
Afterward,
we will enjoy a 45 minute video lecture and very powerful 11 minute
meditation led by Yogi Bhajan. The theme of this video lecture and
meditation
is "Discover Your Soul." The Siri Singh Sahib (Yogi Bhajan)
talks about meditation
as a tool for mental clarity. “If you do not find
God within yourself, you do not find
God at all.” Instead of looking
for your “soul mate” he says that when you connect
to your own soul,
then you understand that “Your very own soul is your soul mate.”
He also
talks about the concept and reality of information overload in the
computer
age and how to deal with it.
"Your very soul is your soul-mate. And this soul is the source of your caliber."
- Yogi Bhajan
