Healing Power of Double Gong &
Mantra
with Shakta and Hari Dev
Friday January 24
- 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm |
Using the ‘Mantra to Manifest Money!’
Bring a friend and join us Friday night for one of our most popular monthly sessions of double gong and mantra—for prosperity! For January we’ve chosen a mantra meditation specifically designed to manifest money in your New Year.
As always, we begin every ‘Healing Power of Gong & Mantra’ session with light Kundalini Yoga to prepare the body for what’s to come (the yoga is appropriate for all levels). Then we move into deep relaxation with not one, but two, beautiful Paiste symphonic gongs. Your mind will have no defense to the gong after 90 seconds!
After the gong we use sound (mantra) to remind us that the entire universe was built on sound, on vibration. And, as we vibrate a particular combination of sounds, we are able to tune into a different level of intelligence, or, consciousness.
The mantra for this month:
Har Har Har Har Gobinday,
Har Har Har Har Mukunday,
Har Har Har Har Udaaray,
Har Har Har Har Apaaray,
Har Har Har Har Hareeung,
Har Har Har Har Kareeung,
Har Har Har Har Nirnaamay,
Har Har Har Har Akaamay,
fixes the mind to prosperity and power. It contains the eight facets of the Self.
Har is the original force of Creativity. The four repetitions of Har give power to each facet and provide the power to break down the barriers of the past. The mantra invokes guidance and sustenance; all powers come to serve your true purpose!

healing of double gong and mantra.

“The beauty of White Tantric Yoga is that it is subtle, it is exalting and it works to give you the mastery of life.”
--Yogi Bhajan
WHAT IS IT?
White Tantric Yoga ® is world-renowned as one of the most powerful and beautiful of all subtle energy practices. It enables you to break through deep subconscious blocks, so that your mind, body, and soul
can act together as one. As a path to personal freedom and awareness, it has been said that this practice can bring success to every area of your life.
White Tantric Yoga (WTY) is a day of six to eight meditations practiced with a partner. You sit facing your partner and follow instructions given on DVD by the Mahan Tantric, Yogi Bhajan, and repeated by the course facilitator. Every course is facilitated in person by a representative of the Mahan Tantric.
Each meditation incorporates a yoga posture, mudra (hand position), eye focus (dristi) and mental focus. Sometimes the meditations are accompanied by music. The meditations vary in length from 11 to 31 to 62 minutes. There are ample breaks in between each meditation.
WHAT TO EXPECT.
There are no prerequisites for participating in White Tantric Yoga. Beginners will tune into their internal energies and enjoy a deep and sometimes challenging meditative experience. More advanced meditators will deepen their experience and make new inroads to their spiritual awareness.
The mere act of registering for a White Tantric Course sends an intention--a message to the universe--that you’re looking for a change and that you want to cleanse yourself. Some people have very specific intentions for White Tantric Yoga. They might have an intention of getting rid of “X,” to heal “Y” or to understand “Z.” In the alternative, if you have an unpleasant memory, you can bring that thought and find relief at White Tantric Yoga—you don’t have to go through it over and over again.
WHAT TO WEAR.
Wear loose fitting and comfortable white or light-colored clothing. White combines all the colors and enhances the magnetic field. Bring a white cotton head covering that will stay securely on your head (there will be white head coverings available to purchase at WTY if you forget yours or don’t have one). Wearing a head covering is for your personal growth and upliftment. It also helps keep your positive energy within. Wear shoes that slip on and off easily because White Tantric Yoga is practiced with the feet uncovered.

“If you become your own teacher, prosperity will be there. Good things and good ideas will come to you.” --Yogi Bhajan
January seems to have snuck up on us faster than expected! So, to accommodate the many requests to push back the start date of our Level 1 Teacher Training we have agreed to begin in March instead!!
That means if Teacher Training was on your list of New Year’s Resolutions you have an additional couple of months to prepare yourself to join us on this beautiful personal journey of growth, challenge, transformation and upliftment!
Why Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training?
Kundalini means ‘awareness.’ Awareness is the active interaction of you as a finite individual identity with you as an Infinite potential identity! This dormant energy of awareness is in you. And, Kundalini Yoga is the supreme technology to take you to your Original, Best and Highest Self!
At First
Many people come to Kundalini Yoga for the more obvious reasons like:
--increasing strength and improving flexibility,
--reducing stress and learning to relax,
--learning proper breathing or even
--for health problems.
Over Time
But, over time the attraction to this sacred science increases because you experience:
--a feeling of connection and vastness,
--a clarity and neutrality of mind,
--a calmness and evenness in your life and even
--fulfillment as a spiritual being.
Excellence
Teacher Training is a journey in the art and science of improving yourself based upon excellence and exaltation. You learn to elevate your own consciousness, to help yourself, to help others plus you will also develop the skills necessary to teach Kundalini Yoga publicly as a consciousness educator (if you so choose).
Sacred Science
Kundalini Yoga is called a sacred science. This is because the sacredness of the student is awakened through it. Whether you’ve taken 1 Kundalini Yoga class or 101 Kundalini Yoga classes,
the personal journey we call ‘Teacher Training’ is absolutely the next step. A most remarkable experience begins in March. Come immerse yourself into the comprehensive science of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan®. You’ll be very glad that you did!
Tuition: $3,300 - $500 down - Payment Plans Available ($3,500

“If you want to learn something, read about it.
If you want to understand something, write about it.
If you want to master something, teach it.” --
Yogi Bhajan
Registration is open for a most unique Level 1
experience on Canada’s Prince Edward Island (PEI). This
220-hour Aquarian Teacher Level 1 Teacher Training in
Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is taught in two
12-day sessions—the first in the spring of 2014 and the
second session is in the fall. (Both sessions are
required for certification.) Conference calls are
scheduled once each month during June, July, August and
September. These calls keep us on-track with both our
written homework and personal practice. And, they keep
us up-to-date with our fellow teachers-in-training as
they share their experience of integrating the teachings
into daily life. Conference calls are also scheduled
once each month for 4 months after the training ends.
These calls guide the graduates as they begin sharing
and teaching what they’ve learned.
Training Team
If this
sounds like something you would like to experience, why
not join us for 12 days next spring and another 12 days
next fall for the 220-hour Level 1 Teacher Training
course in Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan that
is called ‘The Aquarian Teacher?’ When you do, you will
receive guidance from an international team of teacher
trainers including Shakta Kaur (Chicago, IL, USA), Hari
Simran Singh, D.C. (Oakland, CA, USA) and Shabad Saroop
Singh (Montreal, CN).
Ashram Setting
This
is an unique Level 1 course format, especially designed
to create community in an ashram-like setting where your
senses, mind and body will be nourished (and
challenged!) by the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. It is also
golden opportunity to learn reverence and respect for
yourself while being immersed in a discipline which can
liberate you from the cycle of birth and death.
Feeling the Call
Some
people feel the call to change their life. Some feel the
call to be more authentic. Some feel a need to connect
with like-minded people on a deeper level. Some simply
want to spend more time immersing themselves in the
teachings. Whatever your desire is to take this amazing
course know that the end result will be perfect for you.
We are all teachers.
We teach each other when we can see ourselves clearly
and when we can help another see him/herself clearly. To
teach is to transform and to be transformed. To be the
best teacher we need to be the best student. And, the
best student comes from a genuine immersion into a
practice where we learn to be who we are and serve all
from the heart.
Come immerse yourself in The Aquarian Teacher Level 1
Teacher Training Course on Prince Edward Island (PEI),
Canada.

Full Moon
You are naturally accelerated on a full moon. You are at your highest
energy level. The secretions in your body will be at their maximum,
so you don't want your energy being used to consume food. Save your
energy to reconstruct yourself. Try to drink only liquids on this
day. If you feel you must eat, drink only milk. (But, don't drink
cold milk right out of the refrigerator. Milk should be brought
to a boil. Allow the milk to foam up and then bring the heat down
so the milk is on a slow boil for 5-10 minutes. While cooking it,
you may add a pinch of ground turmeric, a pinch of black pepper,
a cinnamon stick, or a few pinches of ginger to reduce any mucous
causing side effect.)
Waning Moon
... is the time between the Full Moon and the day before the New
Moon. This is the best time to remove things, relationships or situations
from your life that no longer serve you. It is not generally thought
of as the best time to start a new project.
New Moon
The New Moon is when you are at your lowest...energy-wise. It is
a good day to fast on lemon and water. Fast from sun-up until the
next morning at breakfast, when you "break" the "fast."
Waxing Moon
... is the time between the New Moon and the day before the Full
Moon. During this time the energy of the body moves into your higher
centers (chakras). This is the time to bring new things, new people
or new relationships into your life or to accelerate the progress
of your special projects.
11 Days After
New Moon
Yogi Bhajan taught that this is the day when you are in balance.
The glandular system readjusts itself on this day. Your metabolism
is changing, so if you eat very lightly (green foods) or if you
live just on water and lemon today, your health will be perfect.
Eat very lightly during the day. Eat only one meal and drink lemon
and water the rest of the day.

A Thought From Yogi Bhajan
"
Count blessings, not curses. Actually speaking, there is no easier way to a rich, prosperous, fulfilled life, provided you start living gracefully. Answering the call of duty is the grace, and that grace is what brings you to prosperity, completion, value and virtue.
