Kundalini Yoga: Moonlight Yoga Class Outline #3

This is intended for those who attended the live class.  The Kriyas and Meditations must be performed exactly to obtain desired results and having seen them demonstrated can greatly increase accuracy.  I will begin uploading Kriyas and Meditations to my youtube channel shortly.  That will be the best place to start for those interested in learning more about Kundalini Yoga.

  1. Welcome, TUNE IN, PROTECTION (less than 5 min)
  2. Explain:   Nadis ( appear to affect the nature and quality of nerve transmission from the brain and spinal cord to the outlying peripheral nerves.  3 nadis: ida, pingala, and shushmana…connected to brain’s limbic system, which controls memory and emotion and coordinates the functions of the hypothalamus, helps control the pituitary)
  3. Explain 3rd Chakra: (less than 5 min) Solar Plexus. Middle of ABD, slightly below sternum.  Tattawa: Greed.  Organ of digestion (stomach, intestines), pancreas, spleen, gallbladder, and liver (some kidneys and adrenals). Ethereal “digestion” mirrors that of physical.  Element is fire.  (burn food and ethereal NRG and send to rest of the body).  Ego, ambition, fear, and fearlessness.  Overactive=hunger for power that is never satisfied.  Underactive=sense of weakness/underdeveloped sense of personal identity.  Top of bottom triangle of chakras (survival in material world), but also closely connected to upper chakras, esp. 4th and 6th chakras.  When functioning at its peak= “will of the spiritual warrior.”  Confident, fearless, integrity (regardless of conditions), connected to God (the world is nurturing), confident to take action, (weak=not know who/paralyzed by choices LEADS TO victim/co-dependent behaviors of attempted control, etc.) People who don’t feel in control of their lives attempt to control others.  Too much NRG trapped here also creates hunger of control.  Childhood experiences, esp. parent relationships can inhibit NRG from flowing from 2nd to 3rd chakras. Physically (3rd rich in nerve plexuses): stomach acid, reflux, ulcers, indigestion, food allergies/sensitive, irritable bowel syndrome, malabsorption syndrome.   Also hepatitis, cirrhosis of liver, gallstone formation, fatty liver, pancreatitis, diabetes, swelling of spleen, cancers of liver/pancreas/stomach.  (KY increases blood flow).  Anger and liver.  Addictions
  4. Step 3: Trust in God---turn my will over to Him: (less than 5 min)  Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”  Genesis 18:14 “Is any thing too hard for the Lord?”  We also ended up talking about the Provo tabernacle burning down and the later announcement that the fire allowed for the gutting of the building to be prepared to be remodeled and announced as a temple.
