Kundalini Yoga, Healing and Psychedelics w/ Gurudhan // XA077
Manage episode 380074100 series 3010163
On this episode Matt sits down with Gurudhan Khalsa. Gurudhan has been practicing and teaching Kundalini yoga since 1971. Based in Austin since 2013, Gurudhan has taught yoga in major cities like New York City from 1971 to 1997 and in Los Angeles from 1998 to 2012. His emphasis is placed on explaining the physiological effects of Kundalini energy based on ancient Chinese traditional energy meridian lines and points as well as how breath technology effects our nerves and glands. His Kundalini classes provide a strong physical workout, an opportunity to “deep relax” afterward, and a meditation at the end of class to elevate the soul.
During the conversation the two discuss how Gurudhan came to Kundalini Yoga after fully participating in the counter-culture of the 60s and 70s. They get into how the technology of Kundalini works on the body, mind and soul and how it can give us mystical and out-of-body experiences. The two then dive into the yogic perspective on psychedelics, and when using them may be appropriate. They explore the healing path - what it means to heal in the modern era - and as well how to express our dharma in the world without getting caught up in the ego. This episode holds many kernels of wisdom. Please enjoy!
