Silence – Why Kundalini Yoga Scares People!

In my many years of teaching I have come to the conclusion that the exercise that scares people the most is sitting still in silence. Why? In our culture we are programmed early on that resting , doing nothing for a short period of time, is a result of being lazy.

Regarding health issues with my students many suffer from chronic problems due to their inability to relax. A nervous system that has to work overtime creates a person who ages faster and heals slower. Kundalini Yoga teaches you methods to use to calm the brain down from thinking , and allowing the nervous system to shut down so that the person can sleep better.

Silence requires a person to be within their own thoughts, and if not prepared may be shocked at what the mind thinks and feels at that moment in time. In my teaching experience I have endless stories regarding how student’s discover a deep secret or painful tragedy that was buried inside them. The first question I ask the student is what happened in your life to allow this information to present itself? It never fails that each student will discuss how life slowed down for them-work was slow-more time on their hands and this opened a door for them to remember or visualize a past experience that was blocked within their soul.

In a yoga practice it is the physical exercises that open us up to sit still and meditate. Then the challenge is getting rid of all the random and endless noise in our heads so that the brain can actually hear it’s own thoughts and reflect on them.
