Kundalini Holiday Meditation



So close to Xmas - we went to a holiday store with beautiful, sparkly pine cones, felted Santas and golden feathers. Old style hand-blown glass ornaments hung from trees. They let us bring the dog inside and mine met a poodle named Victoria. It all smelled like spice and trees and we left feeling something soft and glowing.



How can you keep that feeling suspended over you? Can you bring this feeling inward until you find the place where it originates in you? What is that mix of Light & Hope & Do-it-yourself-ness? 

For me it is here, as translated by Yogi Bhajan in his tradition of Kundalini Yoga. And it is a perfect thing but you must sing from your heart like a lover of the Divine, as a Bhakti Yogi.


Meditation for Peaceful Success and Guiding Blessings                

* In a clean, peaceful place where you meditate.

* Come into a cross-legged posture on the floor or sit straight and well lifted in a chair with your feet on the floor.

* Tune in: “Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo” 
Meaning, I call on the Infinite Creative Consciousness. I bow to the Divine Teacher within.

* Bend your arms and bring your hands to the level of your heart with your elbows pointing straight out to the side. Your right hand is on top of the left with the palms facing downwards. The thumbs are curled in to the left palm and their tips touch.

* Lower your gaze until your eyes are almost closed, looking toward the tip of your nose where you feel steady and indrawn.

* Lift your body. Lift your ribcage. Rise each time you chant "Wha"

* Chant “Wha Hey Guru - Wha Hey Guru - Wha Hey Guru - Wha Hey Jeo”
Continue for any amount of time or as long as thirty one minutes. Synchronize yourself with the Cosmic Consciousness in which you live. Be blessed and be cozy.

As you chant feel the waves of sound guiding you. Align with that which is highest in you, most friendly, most kind and in true wisdom that part of you which sees many sides.
Know your sparkly Self. 

"At the last minute, the Grace of the Guru saves the disciple." - Yogi Bhajan

* Afterwards relax on your back in Sivasana or keep meditating silently.

* “Sat Nam” is the closing mantra.
Or maybe you want to sip something lovely or hug some of your people!
