“We are unique in the way we interpret the Kundalini system, because we’ve all had different life experiences. When we start to teach, we come from that place of knowing that the system is going to work, and that what we know from our own experience is what will help others too.”
Following the recent Kundalini & Dream Teacher Certification, Swami Radhananda gave a satsang talk about her first experiences of the Kundalini system while taking a course led by Swami Radha, called The Path of Liberation. In this video, she reads from her upcoming book of memoirs and invites us to open the kundalini symbols for ourselves and bring them to life.

bridging the local and global community

Integration. It’s been a consistent theme for both myself and our blog, Lightwaves. Almost 3 months after taking the Yoga Development Course and Hatha Teacher Certification I have begun to ask myself questions like, “how do I bring my practice into the world?” and “what does it mean to live spiritually?” In August, I will be leaving Yasodhara Ashram after close to two years of residence here. As the reality of moving to Ottawa and working with youth at risk comes closer to fruition, I am feeling inspired.
