Register for Planting Greatness in Your Unconscious Mind

Yogic teachings recognize that we are made up of a conscious and an unconscious mind. While the conscious mind has an inaccurate memory and uses filters to reason and discriminate, the unconscious mind has an impeccable memory and records without our knowledge every detail of every event since our birth. Additionally the unconscious accepts without question everything that we tell it. It can be likened to a farmer’s field. Whatever we plant into it, it will return to us ten-fold. The unconscious then is a reflection of our imagination; it returns the value of our innermost thoughts and feelings.

What are you thinking about yourself right now?

We reach the unconscious mind through yoga and meditation. You actually can fly!

Kundalini yoga is an ancient science that helps to awaken up our creative potential by using movement, mantra, pranayam, music and meditation to bring ourselves into a state of health and harmony. We can stay vital and strong, blissful and beautiful. In this 2.5-hour workshop, we will use this ancient science to activate what the yogis call, “Saihbung”, or self-illumination. With Valentine’s Day having just past, perhaps you have shown your love to others, but have you taken the time to show yourself love? We will explore this notion of self-love through kriyas, meditation, refelction and of course: music.
