Introduction - Why This Manual We at the KundaJinl Research Institute are happ~ to be presenting this new instruction

manual Keeping Up Wdh Kundalini Yoga We hope that It will be of benefit to you as a

student andor teacher ofKundalmi Yoga

Although Yogi Bhajan has taught hundreds Of classes In Kundalini Yoga there are many

wonderful kriyas which have still not found their way Into print 1lis manual Is an attempt

to partiaDy remedy that situation Some of the kriyas contained herein have been bt limited

circulation amongmiddot teachers of Kundalini Yoga in rough typewritten form while others are practically

unknown From the many kriyas available to us we have bied to select those which in

content and duration seemed particularly suitable for both morning sadhana and for beginning

to interrnediate yoga classes

1bis manual Is designed as a supplement to the Sadhana Guideline which serves as the

basic text in many Kundalini Yoga classes It is not Intended as a replacement for the Sadhano Guideline There is a tremendous amount of valuable informatio~ contained in Sadhana Guideshyline which you wiD not find here including desaiptions of the basic asanas bandas mantras

and mudras of Kundaini Yega We feel however that as a student grows in his practice

of Kundalini Yega more Written material should be provided to fiD his growing interest and

development That is the primary purpose for which this manual has been compUed

A Note to Kundalini Yoga Teachers In the production of this manual we have introduced several innovations with the teacher

of Kundalini Yoga in mind We hope that they will be of genuine advantage to you in your

teaching experience

With each exadse set we have included an exp1anation of its oveRll thnast and benefits This appears near the top of each page under the heading What This Kriya WiD Do For You Then

following each exenise you will find an explanation of the particular effects of that exercise within the context of the entire kriya A given exercise when performed by JtseH may have

many clifferent effects but only those are listed which are germane to the overall flow of the Jaiya

Dired1y below the tide of each kriya we have included the approximate maximum and

minimum times necessaJY to complete that kriya This is to help you in choosing a kiiya to fit within the time framework of your yoga class or sadhana schedule To calcuJate the maximum times we have allowed ~ fuD length of time for each exenise plus 3 minutes of reJaxation

between each exercise wherever relaxation maybe considered suitable We have also included a 10 minute deep relaxation at the end of each set To caJcuJate the minimum time we

have used the minimum time for each exercise and have aDowed only 30 seconds transition time from one exerdse to the next with no relaxation whatsoever_

Fmally W(gt have included a pictorial summary of the eight kriyas in this manual which we feel will be very useful to you both in choosing the kriya you wish to teach and in quicldy

caIling to mind which kriya is which

Obviously there are many elements which we might have included in this manual

(such as explanations of the basics of Kundalini Yega) which we chose to leave out Once again we must state that we consider this manual to be a supplement to the Sadhana Guidelines our basic text and not a replacement for it

God bless you and may all of your teaching experiences be fuliilljng and expanding for you

Please be sure to share with us any of your aiticisms or comments about this manual so that

they may be incorporated into future editions

For Beginners If you are a beginning student of Kundalini Yoga that is if you have been practicing

for Jess than six months or if you have been practicing without the aid of a teacher who has been certified by the 3HO Foundation then there are a few things which you should ampmow before you begin to use this instruction manual

SUPPLEMENTTO THE Sadhana Guidelines This manual has been prepared as a supplement to the Sadhana Guidelines (alternately

titled Kundalini YogaSadhana Guidelines) 5adhana Guidelines is a book which contains a complete introduction to the daily practice of Kundalini Yoga It includes complete descriptions of aD the asanas (postures) mudros (hand positions) bandas (energy locks) and mantras (sound currents) of Kundalini Yoga It includes information about the theory of Kundalini Yoga and answers many questions commonly asked about Kundalini It includes a section on the philosophy of sadhana the daily practice of Kundalini Yoga and contains guidelines for establishing your own personal sadhana It also includes three outstanding lectures by Yogi Bhajan the man who first brought the science of Kundalini Yoga to the West And of cowse it includes thirty-two kriyas (sets of Kundalini Yoga exercises) and fifteen meditations If you do not already own a copy of Sadhana Guidelines then by all means buy one It is invaluable and the information contained in this manual is incomplete Without it Ask your nearest 3HO Foundation Center your local bookstore or write to KRI Publications at the address printed on the back cover of this book

Tuning-In Kundalini Yoga is one spiritual discipline which cannot be practiced without a teacher although

it is not necessary for the teacher to be physically present when you pmctice To establish a aeative link with the Master of Kunda1ini Yoga Yogi Bhajan you should be sure to tune-in to his energy flow using the Adi Mantra Ong Namo Guru Deu Nama For specific instructions see the section on Tuning-In

Mental FOQIS The following pages contain many kriyas which include asanas mudros bandas pranayam

(patterned breathing) and dynamic exercise A further ingredient which is not always specified is mental focus Generally speaking unless you are directed to do otherwise you should fix your concentration on the third-eye point a point midway between the brows one-half inch up and one-half inch belo~ the skin With your eyes closed you can mentally locate this point by turning your eyes gently upwards and inwards By concentration at the third-eye point it is not meant that you should block out all other awareness You should remain aware of your breath your body posture your movements and any mantra you may be using but your center of awareness should be at the third-eye point

Linking the Breath With a Mantra Another aspect of Kundalini Yoga practice which is frequently unspecfied is the use of

mantra A mantra is a series of sounds generally having an inspirational meaning such as a name

of God which have been designed to elevate or modify consciousness by their rhythmical repetition It is beneficial throughout the practice of Kundalini kriyas to utilize the power of mantra

by linking a mantra to the breath even when no mantra is formally specified The mantra most commonly used is Sat Nam (rhymes with But Mom) Sat Nom means uTruth is my identity 1bis mantra can be linked with the breath by mentally repeating Sat as you inhale and mentally repeating Nom as you exhale By doing so you filter your thoughts insuring that each thought-dlain has a positive resolution You will also find that the use of a mantra makes it easier to

keep up in the performance of any exercise that is particularly strenuous and that it adds depth

to the performance of eVen the simplest exercise

Pacing Yourself

Many Kundalini kriyas involve rhythmical movement between two or more postures In such cases the pace at which you should move is generally not stated As a rule you shoUld begin -slowly keeping a steady rhythm Inaease gradually being careful not to strain GeneraUy speaking the more you practice an exercise the faster you can go but in any case be sure that the spine bas become warm and flexible before attempting rapid movements

Concluding an Exercise Unless otherwise stated an exercise is concluded by inhaling and holding the breath briefly

then exhaling and relaxing the posture While the breath is being held one should apply the mool band or Uroot lock (See Sadhana Guidelines for a complete explanation) This

helps to consolidate the effects of any exercise and to circulate the energy to the higher centets of the body How long the breath should be retained depends upon your level of aCcomplishment as a student More experienced students with highly developed lung capadties can obviously hold their breath for a longer period of time than can the beginning student In no case however should you hold the breath to the point of passing out If you start to feel dizzy immediately exhale and relax

Relaxation Between Exet~

An important part of any exercise is the relaxation following it Unless otherwise specified you should allow one to three minutes of relaxation in a comfortable and convenient posture (generally in easy pose in corpse pose on the back or lying poundlaton the stomach) after each exercise The less experienced you are in the practice of Kundafini Yoga or the more strenuous the exercise the longer the relaxation period which will be required During the practice of sadhana during the early morning hours when the body is normally in a relaxed and restful state it may be necessary to reduce relaxation lime to a bare minimum so as to remain alert and awake Many kril1a5 end with a period of deep relaxation which may be allowed to continue

for about three to ten minutes

OnYourWay With the above considerations conditions and suggestions in mind we inVite you to enjoy

the practice of Kundalini kriyas contained in the following pages If you have any questions or concerns about your practice of Kundalini Yoga feel free to contact your local 3HO Foundation teaching center or to contact the Kundalini Research Institute at the address and phone number printed on the back cover of this boolt

TUNING IN

Every Ktindalini Yoga class or practice session should begin with chanting the Ad Mantra

Ong Namo Guru Dev Nama By chanting it in proper form and consciousness the student humbles himself before the higher self the source of all guidance and opens the pr~tective link between himself and the divine teacher

How to recite the Adi Mantra Sit in a comfortable sitting position with the spine straight Press the palms of the hands together

at the center of the chest with the fingers pointing straight up Draw the hands tightly into the

chest so that the joints of the thumbs are pressed against the sternum (the place where the

two halves of the no cage meet) Inhale deeply Focus your concentration at the third-euroye point midway between the brows

about one-baH an inch up and one-half an inch deep As you exhale chant the words

Ong Namo using the entire breath to produce the sound Then take a quick sip of air through the mouth and chant the rest of the manaa Guru DeD Namo extending the sound as long as possible The sound Det1 is chanting a minor third higher than the other sounds of the mantra (For relative pitch and rhythm see musical notation below) As you chant Vibrate the aanium with the sound so that a mild pressure is felt at the third-eye point Chant this mantra at least three times before beginning your Kundalini Yega practice

~ ~

~o~~~~ Ong- No-ma- Gu--ru Deu- Nama-

How to pronounce the Adi Mantra TIle (Y sound in Ong is long as in go and of relatively short duration The ng

sound is relatively long and produces a definite vibration on the roof of the mouth and the aanium The first part of the word Nama is short and rhymes with hum The 0 as in go

is held fora long time The firstsyllable of the word Guru is pronounced as in the word good The second syllable is

pronounced like the word rue (rhymes with truej TIle first syllable therefore is short and the second one long

The word DeD rhymes with gave

What this mantra means Ong is the infinite aeative energy experienced in manifestation and activity It is a variation

of the cosmic syllable Om which is used to denote God in His absolute or unmanifested state When God aeates and functions as Creator He is called Ong

Namo has the same root as the word Nameste which means reverent greetings Nameste is a common form of respectful greeting in India accompanied by the mudra of palms pressed together at the chest or forehead It implies bowing down Together Ong Nama means I call on the infinite aeative consciousness opening yourself to the universal consciousness that guides all action

Guru is the teacher or the embodiment of the wisdom that one is seeking Dev means divine or of God in a non-earthly transparent sense Nama in closing the mantra reaffirms the humble reverence of the devotee Taken together Guru Den Nama means I call on the divine wisdom whereby you bow before your higher self to JUide you in using the knowledge and energy given by the cosmic self
