Kundalini Yoga: Keeping The Body Beautiful

A body is a temple of expression and evolvement. This beautiful body cannot be eaten by anything except our own ego. We are in constant search for the experience of God, freedom, energy and consciousness. If we could only purify ourselves, then God would be known to us and come to live in us. That infinite energy is the giver in every situation. Our own habits of possession, resistance, anger, tension and attachment set up energy patterns within the body that disrupt the normal flow of energy. This Kriya can help you clean the body and readjust the flow of energy periodically since we are all products of our habits. Through this we can understand the delicate nature of what it means to adapt, evolve and create a healthy level of resistance. Here we include the directions that you are guided through in the video for reference! Sat Nam.https://youtu.be/ikcFxTHwilQKeeping The Body Beautiful1 | Long Deep Breathing.
