A favorite among celebrities and medical professionals like Russell Brand, Gabrielle Bernstein, and Gisele Bündchen. The ancient yoga practice focuses on breath and asana (a.k.a. physical postures) along with chanting, meditation, and singing. First introduced to the western world in the late 70s. It derives from the Sanskrit word kundal, which translates to “coiled energy.” ( Kundalu) The idea is that we all have energy gathered at the base of our spine and, through the practice of Kundalini, we bring that energy up our spine through the ten bodies/ chakras and out the crown of our head. This includes intense breath work and holding of sometimes unusual poses. A proper class will last up to 90minutes but the results are powerful and instant. You will feel like you are walking on a cloud when the class is over. This is the ultimate experience and each individual is entitled to their own. What are the benefits of working together with private sessions at Kundalou ? We are meant to evolve , learn and grow as humans. It is in our nature to investigate and long for more out of life. Sometimes we become stagnant and it can manifest as physical symptoms. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, stress, fatigue, back pain, insomnia or having relationship conflicts. Many symptoms can then show up in a sexual nature. For women, learning where you have physical and mental blocks can lead to understanding how to enjoy yourself more. Utilizing the universal energy of breath that is so unconscious in our daily lives and drawing on kundalini energy, we are able to expand the body and gather in more energy to lead more productive and fulfilling lives. At Kundalou we can work on one on one coaching and counseling methods and develop a plan that works best for you. We can also talk about your goals and what you want out of life. This can manifest through intentions and meditation processes.

At first the idea of the ten bodies sounds a bit strange. However , it’s a very interesting concept that one practices in Kundalini yoga, not only do we have 7 chakras but also ten bodies. They are energy bodies that we cleanse and shift through this practice. 1. Soul Body Our first body is our Soul Body. Our Soul Body is our flow of spirit, our connection to infinity and quite literally our Soul. This body is our foundational and true self, providing us with the ability to live from our heart. The Soul Body responds to all heart work and the raising of our Kundalini (the life force energy that rises up our spine). 2. Negative Mind Our second body is our Negative Mind. And before you go all “negative,” consider this: our Negative Mind is our first and often our strongest “body,” constantly working to assess our environment and situations for danger or negative potential. Our Negative Mind keeps us safe and alive and also gifts us with, as Yogi Bhajan said, “a longing to belong.” The Negative Mind is balanced with discipline and integrity. 3. Positive Mind Our third body is our Positive Mind. Our Positive Mind works to assess what is beneficial, positive, and affirming. This “body” sees opportunity and allows us to identify resources. The Positive Mind gives us our willpower as well as our playfulness. Everything we do to strengthen our navel point (think strong core) and to increase our self-esteem is beneficial for this body. 4. Neutral Mind Our fourth body is our Neutral Mind. Our Neutral Mind absorbs and evaluates the assessments from the Negative and the Positive Minds and delivers guidance to us. Our Neutral Mind is compassionate, intuitive, and gives us the ability to recognize polarities. Meditation is great for balancing this body. 5. Physical Body Our fifth body is our Physical Body. This body is the temple where all the bodies dwell in some way, shape, or form. The Physical Body gifts us with the ability to balance ourselves and our lives as well as the capacity to sacrifice for our hopes, our dreams, and the greater community. This body also holds the energy of the Teacher. The Physical Body loves regular exercise and sharing what has been learned. 6. Arcline Our sixth body is our Arcline. You can visualize your Arcline Body as a halo, extending from earlobe to earlobe and encompassing the hairline and brow. Women have a second Arcline across the breast line. Our Arcline Body gives us the ability to both project as well as intuit. This body grants us the ability to focus as well as meditate. The Arcline responds well to pituitary gland sequences as well as drishti (gaze) to the third eye. 7. Aura Our seventh body is our Aura. This body is our electromagnetic field of energy that surrounds our Physical Body. Ironically, I often feel that I am straying into the fanciful zone when talking about the Aura, and yet the Aura is scientifically measurable as well as scientifically validated! Our Aura acts as a container for our prana, our life force energy. This body also acts as a shield of protection and allows us to elevate ourselves—energetically as well as consciously. Meditation is beneficial, as well as wearing natural fibers. The color white, which holds all the colors of the spectrum, is believed to expand and magnify our Aura. 8. Pranic Body Our eighth body is our Pranic Body. By breathing, we are constantly working with our Pranic Body to bring in life force. This body gives us the gift of energy for action and accomplishment. All pranayama will have a positive impact on our Pranic Body. 9. Subtle Body Our ninth body is our Subtle Body. This body allows us to see beyond what is in front of us to the universal play of everything. Our Subtle Body is deeply woven with our Soul Body. When we die, our Subtle Body carries our Soul. Many great teachers continue to influence us through their Subtle Body, beyond the death of their Physical Body. Our capacity for mastery is held in this body. In keeping with mastery, doing a Kundalini practice for 1,000 days in a row is a way to balance the Subtle Body 10. Radiant Body Our tenth body is our Radiant Body. This body is exactly as it sounds—it gives us our radiance as well as our courage, our nobility. People that are magnetic and/or charismatic are great examples of well-developed and balanced Radiant Bodies. The greatest thing we can do for our Radiant Body is to have commitment. To be committed to our practice, to kindness, truth, and excellence in life is a great way to amplify our radiance. In our understanding of the Ten Body system, we also have an Eleven. Bonus! Eleven is embodiment, the state where we are beyond duality and in the flow of truth, balance, and the divine. All Ten Bodies are balanced. Eleven also represents the sound current (which represents the beginning/the source of all that follows in Kundalini) and infinity, as well as the source of all mantra. All Kundalini Yoga works with the balance and strength of the Ten Bodies. Some practices concentrate on a specific body, while others work with the whole system. A kriya is a series of postures, breath, and sounds that work toward a specific outcome. Practicing a kriya initiates a sequence of physical and mental changes that affect the body, mind, and spirit simultaneously. A great place to start your exploration of the Ten Bodies is with the following kriya, “Awakening to the Ten Bodies.”

Just yoga can lead us to a spiritual bypass, dissociating from life. Our discussions and keeping it here in the mind integrates it into the body. This combination of both meditation, yoga and coaching grounds our transformation into practical reality so that we feel and see results.

The power of prayer, energy healing and quantum touch are a few methods of long distance reiki. Although Reiki is most often administered through an in-person, hands-on treatment while fully clothed recipients sit or lie down, it can also be practiced remotely. Long-distance Reiki, also known as remote Reiki, does not require recipients to be in the same location. Through four levels of attunement, recipients learn from highly trained and experienced teachers to access and connect with universal energy. Instead of directly transferring Reiki energy through touch, practitioners can use their thoughts and intentions to move energy into a recipient’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical being. What’s more, Reiki can also be sent through time to situations that occurred in the past and events that will happen in the future. For people who struggle with acceptance of past trauma or worry excessively about future scenarios, a Reiki treatment can facilitate healing and help manifest future betterment.
