Effective Communication (B1C)

Eliminate Inner Conflict

Gurushabd Singh Khalsa
Track: Meditation; Level: General

If we reject ourselves, if we are scared and hold back our truth—from ourselves or others—we lose touch with our thoughts, our feelings, and ourselves. When we passionately like someone and yet cannot say a word, our lack of communication hinders our possibilities. If we learn to listen and speak from the heart, everything changes. This Kundalini Yoga meditation inspires effective communication, helping us to talk rationally and sincerely, and connect with ourselves, family, and friends—even those with whom we have never connected before.

Jumpstart Kriya (B4E)

Gurushabd Singh Khalsa
Track: Meditation; Level: Seasoned

What we often call love is the desire to be fulfilled and to feel needed. To fully love others, we have to love and need ourself first. But to do this, you must remember: You are not body, you are not mind, and you are not spirit. You are all the essences of you. Your power lies in the breath through which you live—the breath of life. Gurushabd Singh Khalsa guides us in a practice of Kundalini Yoga, including movement and seated pranayama, designed to make our mind sensitive, build our intuition, and tap into universal higher conscious wisdom.
