Healing "Sat Nam Rasayan" Workshop
 |
with Dr. Yogi
(aka Hari Simran Singh Khalsa, D.C.)
Sunday, Dec. 6 - 1:00 to 3:00 pm
|
Dr. Yogi returns to Chicago to conduct a special workshop Sunday afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 pm called, “The Healing Power of Sat Nam Rasayan and the Gong.” Sat Nam Rasayan is the healing modality derived from the Kundalini Yoga tradition. “Sat Nam Rasayan” literally means ‘deep relaxation in the true identity.’ It allows the healer to assess and balance the five elements (ether, air, fire, water and earth) and the pranic body.
Experience the unique healing power of Sat Nam Rasayan and the Gong on Sunday afternoon, December 6 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.

Winter Solstice Weekend Schedule
 |
Join with all the talented teachers at KYL to celebrate the time when darkness rules—Winter Solstice! This is the time of year the ancients considered the ‘gateway to God.’ The gods of the ancient Babylonians, Egyptians and Greeks were all born at this, the darkest time of the year, to bring light.
Darkness gives us time to pause, to go within, to recognize the divinity we carry inside and to continue to bring it forward in our day-to-day lives. To see and recognize that one light, the light of consciousness, which is manifesting and pulsating through all of creation, is the goal of life. Expand beyond your imaginings with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation especially designed to illuminate the divine light within!

This year we will enjoy the newly renovated floor in the historic ballroom on the 10th floor of the Fine Arts Building (FAB) which provides a perfect view of Lake Michigan and the fireworks from Navy Pier. Delicious organic, vegetarian food will be served in an alcohol and tobacco free environment.

Click Here for more information.
In this unique six-day course called ‘Authentic Relationships’
you will learn how to consistently connect with the true identity of yourself and others.
You will gain the skills to prevent judgments, fears or circumstances
from obstructing your view of the true identity of everyone in your life
- as ‘Sat Nam.’ Penetrating through illusions and always relating to the true Essence—the Oneness of all—in your relationships is the ultimate goal.
Come explore how to:
- Create and maintain Soul-based relationships;
- Honor the polarities of the male and female energies;
- Recognize and create Authentic Relationships in each area of your life; and
- Cultivate personal practices that develop your capacity for Authentic Relationships.
Each day you will study with the Master--Yogi Bhajan--in a video class and meditation. In addition, you will work individually and in groups, exploring the key concepts and ideas in Authentic Relationships. You will experience kriyas* and meditations as well as other processes to recognize how your personal life is affected both by Authentic Relationships and by relationships with a false core.
This is a 60+ hour course; one of five Level 2 modules. Fifty hours are spent in the classroom with 12 hours of home-study to be completed 90 days after the course concludes.
Your Faculty:
Lead Trainer KRI Director of Training Gurucharan Singh Khalsa, Ph.D. We are graced with the return of Gurucharan Singh to Chicago for ‘Authentic Relationships.’ Gurucharan is an expert in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®, and has been the interpreter and compiler of his teachings since 1969. He serves as the International Director of Teacher Training for the Kundalini Research Institute (KRI), which he co-founded in 1972. |
Level 2 Trainer GuruMeher Singh Khalsa serves as the Director of Training at Yogi Bhajan’s original yoga studio,
Yoga West, in Los Angeles. GuruMeher has over 25 years experience teaching Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. He is a respected life coach who helps others via yoga, meditation and personal mentoring to accelerate growth, remove obstacles and increase their happiness. |
*In Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan® a kriya is a sequence of postures, breath and sound that are integrated together to manifest a particular state. When you practice a Kundalini Yoga kriya the result of its repetition is access to a particular, predictable and stable state—one facet of your awareness.

Flu?
We Don't Want It - We Don't Get It!
"Healthy am I!" |
|
The big scare - H1N1 - sounds ominous. But as yogis we
have several simple methods to combat ALL flues - ALL the time -
to remain healthy ALL year long. Here is a quick list of
some effective techniques to unleash your own super-charged
immune system:
- Antioxidants - increase these substances in your
diet to engage the "seek and destroy" function
against foreign viruses. Read some details:
Antioxidant Research
Foods To Eat
- Vitamin C and D - again, your diet is critically
important to power the immune system. Most
people are very deficient in
Vitamin D - you need to
take a big
supplement to maintain many aspects of wellness (I
take 2000 units daily).
Vitamin
C - the "RDA" is way too low (I take 1000 units
daily).
- Breath of Fire - using a strong navel pump -
will boost the circulation of your lymph fluids -
the transport mode for the soldiers sent to fight
all dis-ease. Take a 3-minute BoF break
several times during the day (when your co-workers
go out for a smoke!).
How To.
- Hot Bath Navel Pump - a fantastic technique to
super-charge and mobilize your immune response via
the lymph system. This is highly effective at
the first sign of an illness - the sooner you begin,
the better the result. Or, if you have been
exposed to a virus, then use this technique right
away to maintain wellness.
Click Here to get directions.
- Physical Yoga - move the body! Life is
movement. Invest a little time to ensure
overall wellness. Do kriyas (or other
movements) that pressurize the lymph glands - such
as the navel center and the armpits:
Strengthening the Immune System
Kriya for Disease Resistance
Refresh Your Lymph System

Full Moon
You are naturally accelerated on a full moon. You are at your highest
energy level. The secretions in your body will be at their maximum,
so you don't want your energy being used to consume food. Save your
energy to reconstruct yourself. Try to drink only liquids on this
day. If you feel you must eat, drink only milk. (But, don't drink
cold milk right out of the refrigerator. Milk should be brought
to a boil. Allow the milk to foam up and then bring the heat down
so the milk is on a slow boil for 5-10 minutes. While cooking it,
you may add a pinch of ground turmeric, a pinch of black pepper,
a cinnamon stick, or a few pinches of ginger to reduce any mucous
causing side effect.)
Waning Moon
... is the time between the Full Moon and the day before the New
Moon. This is the best time to remove things, relationships or situations
from your life that no longer serve you. It is not generally thought
of as the best time to start a new project.
New Moon
The New Moon is when you are at your lowest...energy-wise. It is
a good day to fast on lemon and water. Fast from sun-up until the
next morning at breakfast, when you "break" the "fast."
