How can we really enjoy this life? How can we really enjoy being in our bodies, in this rib cage? We must have the capacity to have a still and quiet mind. Because the joy is there. This innocence is there. The love is there. We become too ravaged in our own insecurity, our own [...]
(Editor’s Note: It’s hard to beat Kundalini yoga for sleep support. Nihal Singh shares some of Yogi Bhajan’s recommendations on how to use Kundalini yoga to support your sleep.) We have all been there before when you are lying in bed and cannot fall asleep. You toss and turn for what feels like hours. You [...]
“Where there is love, there is no question.” ~ Yogi Bhajan When I first encountered Yogi Bhajan’s quote, “Where there is love, there is no question,” I was filled with confusion. Sometimes I would doubt my relationship, for example, and ask myself, “Does this mean what I have isn’t love?” After a long while of [...]

“Get it together!” is something we all tell ourselves every now and then. Sometimes life throws a lot at us, and it can become stressful to try to juggle everything we’ve been handed.
