In search of oneself, there are many ways that can take off the veil of illusion wherein the mind, body, emotions and impressions can catch someone unawares, they can come in the form of long term traumas, locked emotions, unfulfilled desires or memories and dreams which hold oneself from experiencing true reality, which is spontaneous and blissful.

Yoga gives immediate access to energy through the connection with breath, which like a sharp knife cuts through the waves of thoughts, bringing clarity and an ocean of calmness upon a person who is paying attention. The next steps are practice and discipline, which depends on a person’s goals and aims.

If you feel that you are not exactly yourself, you sense it in your depth, if there is unease in some way or a lack of happiness in your life, this workshop will bring you an insight to connect within with yourself and connect into the integral Oneness to develop power and to discover the potential to realize who you really are.

Kundalini is the primal power of the universe. She is also the inner power that lifts a person from the darkness of ignorance to the blazing light of supreme wisdom, and grants one a permanent experience of one’s own divine nature.

Instead of identifying ourselves with our Great Self, we identify with our body, emotions and ego. But the scriptures, and Yogis remind us that if we fully unfold our shakti’s, we are nothing but Supreme Shiva. The human body is a storehouse of vast power, and the object of sadhana is to raise these various forms of power back to their full expression.

We must retrace our steps and return to our source. The root of all our latent power is the Kundalini Shakti. She must be awakened from her dormant sleep, and then she can retrace her steps, climbing back up through the various principles of creation.

The various spiritual traditions employ a wide variety of means to awaken the dormant Kundalini. Yogini Chinmaya (Monika Kwik) undertook teacher training in the school of Yogi Bhajan located in England (“SKY”), and afterwards she decided to travel to India to meet a living Guru of the tradition of Kundalini Yoga. Shortly after arriving in Varanasi city (India) destiny guided her to meet GuruJi Arun Kumar Sharma (www.arunkumarsharma. com) who revealed to her secrets of the Kundalini path in Shaktism tradition. Pandit Shri Arun Kumar Sharma guided Monika through the experience of yoga & tantra sadhana. GuruJi in his last years of life transmitted to his disciples a living tradition and a deep mystic path which had been a tradition in his family for more than 300 years. Through the process of initiations and different kinds of yogic and tantric methods of sadhana, Yogini Chinmaya (Monika) experienced an intense endeavour in kundalini sadhana and became totally focused with the spiritual path of yoga, to which she has devoted her life. She is now engaged in teachings and scientific research on Kundalini sadhana in yoga and tantra.

Workshop contents

During the workshop of Kundalini, we will learn basic yogic techniques including: practice of Dhyana (meditation) with intense Dharana (concentration) in the centres of energy (chakras).

We will be using the science of mudras and the purification of nadis, by practice of various pranayama’s to attain control of the breath and mind, in which finally all those aspects will be absorbed within the self. The awareness of the body control will be in the practice of bhandas and asanas, and pranayama as well as including the important role of conscious relaxation, which integrates the practice. By control of the mind, prana and body we will purify and prepare the self towards the experience of different states of consciousness.
