When Hatha Teachers want to use Kundalini Techniques

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam!

 

Hi Paula,

 

Thanks for responding.

I kind of thought everybody who was teaching out there who has the awareness to

be involved with a forum like that was trained more similarly to how I was...

with pretty solid adherence to traditional Yogi Bhajan teaching...Always tune in

with Adi Mantra, always give students a good solid layout on the floor, always

tune out.

So you tune your students in but do not always end the class with tuning out

(normally we sing " Long Time Sunshine " and then yes, a long Sat Nam)? I would

respectfully suggest that you try adding this traditional tune out after the

deep relaxation, and just feel if there is a difference in yourself and your

students; and in general how your class goes, after a few classes this way.

 

I don't find it at all 'superstitious' or 'dogmatic' to follow these particular

guidelines every single time-- rather these are incredibly powerful techniques

taken as an unadulterated kriya or set, and tuning in is like asking for

guidance from your higher self, to come in and guide your inexperienced ordinary

lower self so that you are able to maximize the benefits you get from the

practice, and so that you are able to use the energy you get for the highest

possible purpose.

(And if you didn't do that, how could you possibly train others to be teachers?)

 

Intuitively I'd think that students who had been adequately tuned in and taught,

but not tuned out, would go into their rest-of-the-day not quite able to relax,

because subconsciously they'd be aware there was something big that was never

brought to completion.

 

I hope you're able to check out the difference that sticking to a complete tune

out makes--

Take good care and Wahe guru!

All love,

Premdev Kaur
