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.

Your Intention
Use the energy of Winter Solstice to deepen your intentions. When you come to KYL on Dec. 17 bring your written intentions with you.

An intention is different than a goal. An intention allows the Infinite to manifest for you in the way it will best serve your soul. A goal tends to be colored by the outcome your ego most desires – whether it is for our highest good or not. With an intention, anything that does not serve your soul will go—material things, personalities and identities, just to name a few.

From the Heart
What is it that the small voice of your soul reveals in your heart that will make the coming year alive, meaningful and fulfilled for you? Write down your intention in the manner below. Shortly after the Winter Solstice Hari Dev Singh and Shakta Kaur will gather them all together and burn them to release before the Infinite all that is possible for you.

Begin by writing:
1) What you want to leave behind in 2010,
2) What you want to bring forward for you personally in 2011, and
3) What you want to bring forward for the world in 2011.

Bring your written intention to KYL, drop it in our special bowl and know that your intentions will manifest. Then expand beyond your imaginings with light Kundalini Yoga, a long deep relaxation and meditation especially designed to illuminate the divine light within at KYL’s special ‘Winter Solstice Healing Power of Gong & Mantra!’

Invincible Vitality is Yours with Breathwalk!

Sunday, December 19 in the "Tantric Fire Tent" 7:00 to 8:15 am.*

Many spiritual traditions use walking as a meditation to calm the mind, to connect to nature and for healing. Breathwalk^® is a simple, natural and effective walking practice derived from the Kundalini Yoga tradition. More powerful than 'just walking' Breathwalk incorporates specific breath patterns synchronized with your walking steps and a meditative mind. In this session you’ll experience your invincible vitality as you align all forms of energy using body, mind and spirit with Breathwalk. Suitable for yogis and non-yogis alike. All levels welcome.

*Plus, Shakta will offer Breathwalks after the lunch break on Sunday, Dec. 19 and Monday, Dec. 20th, as well!

Reclaim Your Excellence!

Kundalini Yoga, Meditation and the Gong with Shakta Kaur and musical accompaniment by Gurunam Singh and friends ('Journey Home', 'Silent Moonlight Meditation', 'Crimson Sadhana'). Friday, December 24 in the Tantric Fire Tent 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.

'I am a work in progress,' we often say, but, it is not so! In the beginning you were perfect, you are perfect now and you shall always be perfect. But, life's whirlpool of color and sound pulls you away from YOU; the mind seduces you away from YOU; the body itself begins to define YOU. Elevate your tattvas to their original, perfect balance and become YOU again. Join Shakta to engage the fire and ether tattvas to raise you above the chaos of life where you can reclaim your excellence! She will be accompanied by Gurunam Singh ('Journey Home,' ‘Silent Moonlight Meditation,’ ‘Crimson Sadhana’) and his musical friends in this session.

Here’s a great way to introduce friends and family to the benefits of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation!

Waxing Moon
... is the time between the New Moon and the day before the Full Moon. During this time the energy of the body moves into your higher centers (chakras). This is the time to bring new things, new people or new relationships into your life or to accelerate the progress of your special projects.

11 Days After New Moon
Yogi Bhajan taught that this is the day when you are in balance. The glandular system readjusts itself on this day. Your metabolism is changing, so if you eat very lightly (green foods) or if you live just on water and lemon today, your health will be perfect. Eat very lightly during the day. Eat only one meal and drink lemon and water the rest of the day.

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.
