Guest guest Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Hi. I have practiced transcendental meditation off and on since 1976. I started practicing kundalini yoga over one year ago. I would like to know if there is any potential conflict between the two, whether they can be practiced together, or if it makes no difference. I am asking because I would like to " change over " to kundali yoga meditations or kriyas with meditation components and am not sure how to go about this or whether it is necessary to do so. Is there a danger in using different mantras? Thanks. Sat Nam. Fiona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hello Fiona, I am not an expert, this is my opinion, and my experience: I have done Kundalini Yoga off and on for 30 years. During that time I have done various other meditative practices, Buddhist, for example, altho never Transcendental. I did my own meditation, I practiced Women's spirituality. I cannot think of any reason why you cannot do both Kundalini and TM. Perhaps doing two mantras would be confusing. I suspect that after doing both for a while, you will probably be drawn to one or the other. so - my opinion is - try both and see. regards, Sat nam, Kartar Kaur Kundaliniyoga , " newjd2006 " <fionaabfab wrote: > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 I'm no expert, but can only give you my experience. I've practice TM since about 1974, and K-Yoga for years along with Hatha, focusing more on K-Yoga since July this year. I see no conflict -- meditation can be practiced many way. TM uses a mantra, and K-Yoga generally uses chants and sometimes breath. I sometimes do a Kriya and sometimes practice TM depending on what I feel will work best for me at the time -- or what I feel I need more at the time. I believe that all meditation is trying to get us to the same place -- a quiet mind so we can connect with the universal spirit more easily -- or, rather, since we are always connected with the universal spirit, meditation can help us be aware of that fact -- and " hear " or " see " the truth.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 Sat Nam, my wife practiced TM for a few years before finding out about KY. She simply made the switch, no harm, no foul! BTW She still won't tell me what her TM mantra was! KartaPurkh S Khalsa In all work show the Spirit of God, the righteousness of man and the flow of correct nature. If you can do that, then your work is a meditation. --Yogi Bhajan http://kartapurkhkhalsa.typepad.com/ http://kckundaliniyoga.com http://kartapurkh.smugmug.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
