Paiste Gongs Available For Sale at KYL. 28" 30" 32" |
|
The gong is the sound of creation, and those sounds perfectly match the energetic meridians of the human body. This is an under-utilized 'sound therapy' that turns off the stressors in the body/mind, releases blocks, and brings forth the relaxation response. Paiste Symphonic Gongs have a slightly raised surface with a harmonic and universal sound structure. The fundamental note of the gong is balanced with the instrument's complex overtones. Your mind has no defense to the gong after 90 seconds. Call to arrange a private showing and testing of the gongs at KYL (312) 922-4699. |

Two Programs Offered:
Personal Intensive
- July 10-11 or |

Walking is the #1 form of exercise in America. And, Breathwalk® is the next step in feeling great and conditioning both the body and mind. Breathwalk is a yogic walking practice that combines specific patterns of conscious breathing synchronized with your walking steps. You experience profound changes in just a few minutes of Breathwalking. Some say that these changes are even more profound than yoga and meditation. Breathwalk offers you a wide range of choices—choice over your energy level, choice over your mood, and choice over your mental state. This Training teaches over 20 Breathwalk programs each addressing a specific need. For example, you can choose a Breathwalk to promote ‘Energy and Vitality’ or ‘Weight Control and Overall Fitness.’ Or, you can choose a Breathwalk that shifts you from ‘Anxious to Calm’ or from ‘Scattered to Focused.’ The choice is always yours! The one-weekend Personal Intensive fee is $250 and the two-weekend Instructor Training fee is $750 (both fees increase on July 1). Click Here for complete details. |

Visit India – Change Your Life! Join Shakta Kaur and Hari Dev Singh on this magnificent journey to India! Feb. 14–28, 2011 (optional extension to March 2) |

FOR ALL SPIRITUAL SEEKERS, TRAVEL TO INDIA HAS A SPECIAL APPEAL. The very land is steeped in spirituality, where many ancient practices were developed and perfected over 5,000 years ago. Simply walking the land can leave a profound and lasting imprint on your soul. To transform your life sometimes requires a journey which will change the way you view yourself and the world. This is the third tour to India that Shakta and Hari Dev have led with the guidance of tour operator Deepak Singh of Spiritual Journeys. While maintaining all the comforts of home you will have the profound experience of India; absorbing the rich spiritual traditions while enjoying safe food, excellent lodging and the guidance of experienced staff. Highlights of our tour include: • Participating in the 5-day Punarnava conference “Ayurveda and Yoga: Where Science Meets Consciousness” held in Rishikesh (the yoga capital of the world); • Visiting the sacred Golden Temple in Amritsar; • Seeing the Taj Mahal in Agra on a beautiful sunrise tour; • Washing away your karmas in the Mother River Ganges; • Visiting Old and New Delhi; • Walking the holy ground where Lord Buddha spoke his first sermon after 'awakening' (optional extension tour to Sarnath/Varanasi). The BBC has listed the Golden Temple and Taj Mahal as two of the top ten sites to visit in the world. The basic tour fee of $1,835 includes the conference, comfortable lodging, sacred ceremonies, breakfast daily and English-speaking guides throughout the trip (land only – airfare to and from India is approximately $1,300 additional). Besides visiting the great religious and cultural sites, and walking in the footsteps of the Masters, our tour also provides time to “shop with Shakta” in the bazaars (an experience in and of itself!) and partake in local customs and ceremonies. The optional extension tour is $400 additional. For more information click here. |

" When you are in the worst most rotten condition, get up, shower and do sadhana* -- that's the real victory. Because that day you defeat your challenge. God will stand by you that whole day to give you victory. Nobody can take it away from you. " *Sadhana (pronounced ‘sod-nuh’) means ‘spiritual discipline’ and is typically an early morning spiritual practice. |
