Kundalini Yoga + the 10 Bodies of Light

  

Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness. This classical style of yoga combines movement, breath, mental concentration and sound to inspire integration of the self within the 10 light bodies and the chakra system.

When you look at a person from the viewpoint of the 10 bodies, you see the physical body, the mental bodies (negative, positive and neutral), the soul body as well as 5 ethereal aspects of the self (the arc line, the aura, the pranic body, the subtle body and the radiant body). Each of the 10 bodies has their own unique qualities in mind, body and spirit. When we relate the 10 bodies to our birth month, we answer the question: What am I mastering? This tells us what we are here to learn in this lifetime.

When you look at the archetype that your birth month represents it’s pointing towards what you’re learning and mastering in your life. Take a moment to consider which month you’re born in and what the “mastery” of your lifetime is. For instance, I’m born in January so I’m mastering Leadership and more specifically, I’m learning how to lead with love from a balanced place between my head and my heart.

What I love about Kundalini yoga, is you can look for a meditation or a kriya (which means set of exercises) that energetically supports you in exactly what you’re wanting or needing to heal. Going back to my example of being born in January and learning about how to balance my head and heart; when I was learning to become a yoga teacher I did a 90-day practice using a meditation to help me do just that called Sat-Kar-Tar. 

All the yoga-based programs I teach are rooted in the Kundalini tradition. A practice of Kundalini yoga consists of tuning-in and centering the self, movement, deep relaxation and meditation. When you breathe, move, and meditate in this way you’ll experience a world of energy inside you. With a heightened awareness of your body, mind and spirit you’ll have the beautiful gift of experiencing your 8 chakras and your 10-bodies and healing your whole self.
