Meditation 101
Finding Your Authentic Path to Meditation
Meditation is a natural, built in ability that you already have. It is similar to sleep in that your body and mind already know how to do it, if we just give it a little space and time.
Meditation is a kind of rest for your mind, although, as you’ll discover, it doesn’t always feel restful or peaceful during the meditation. Meditation is preparation for activity - it is after meditation, in our life, that we feel clearer and calmer.
During meditation, our mind naturally moves through an integration process, that involves review (memories), releasing stress (physical or emotional sensations), planning (todos, projects, relationships), and some moments of quiet, or rest.
While many of us have an image of meditation being a place of deep peacefulness or bliss, sitting cross legged in some natural area, the reality is that meditation can be noisy, where we experience even more ‘thoughts’ then when we are engaged.

Jeannie on her experience studying kundalini yoga in the us.

I, like most Kundalini yoga teachers in the US, trained in Kundalini Research Institute programs. As I received this teachings, I really struggled with the teaching methodology in typical kundalini training.
The ‘Guru worship’ and the authoritarian approach did not resonate with me, as I had previously been trained by Bessel van der Kolk in trauma informed teaching, and yoga.
The many teachers that I trained with were all wonderful and very informative. They were however, bound by requirements that teachers of that lineage, teach in a very specific way.
In our training, we have taken a fresh, new, feminine and non-dogmatic approach.
