Teaching Kundalini Yoga in Prison

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam! My name is Siri Chand Kaur or Tia Swett. I recently moved to Jamaica

Plain, MA and I'm interested in starting Kundalini Yoga classes in one of the

correctional facilities in the area. Does anyone have experience with this (in

Massachusetts, or anywhere for that matter) and have any advice to give? I'm

curious about the best way to get something set up (who do I contact, how do I

get them interested), recommendations for great sets and meditations to do, and

any challenges that go along with teaching in a correctional facility.

 

Thanks so much!

Hello,

 

I went the same route with western occultism. The bulk of my work, was

aimed at easing the pain of isolation while under tremendous duress from

the wilds of psychological warfare; especially such rampant in the

prison industry.

 

When I was kicking around the idea, I would say my objectives were

skewed & jaded. I think its healthier to work with the free people of

the world than with a person so tortured they seek freedom by any means

necessary. Very few people understand that spirituality enslaves the

soul to a God or demon. The difference with free people is that they

seek truth & wholesome goodness in their lives [for the most part] & are

given knowledge, power, prosperity & are shown how to achieve those ends

for for those who climb the ladder with them; a true Guru. The free are

able to govern themselves with conscience, while the imprisoned become

enslaved by their environment, & the unholy take advantage.

 

I worship Shiva, though I have explored a lot of spirituality in

general. Yoga & mysticism is the light. Shiva has set me free with the

idea of of being called to stand for god, without bending my knees with

a submissive attitude toward life. Kundalini Shakti cleanses the soul &

drives the individual to the pinnacle of pain before grace washes over

the individual. The cleansing is called " the serpent kiss " , like a flame

of devotion being planted in the mind of the individual, to illuminate &

guide the kundalini to the Sahasrara chakra. once united with the crown

the kundalini forces the individual to take an attitued of absolute

dominance over the worshipful & submissive. The acolyte no longer feels

it necessary to cling to the Guru, instead stands as a god demanding

worship.

 

The heathen are slaves, enabling them to a submissive attitude toward

another lamp of yoga like a guru, god, or angel, is in direct opposition

to yoga. Though oppinions may vary please consider your own motivation

for acting, before actig for someone else; holding hands is not the way.
