<p>Drawing from his more than forty years as a Tantra Yoga lineage-holder, practitioner and master teacher, Rod clarifies the often-misunderstood subject of Kundalini Yoga. He focuses on the critical distinctions between the modern “brand” of Kundalini Yoga popularized by Yogi Bhajan and its ancient, traditional roots––which span more than three millennia. His aim is to help modern practitioners break through the common confusion about the practice, the significant distinctions between contemporary interpretations with the depth of knowledge found in ancient texts and the living oral tradition.</p> <p>These teachings are at the core of yoga practice, providing a singular roadmap for personal transformation. Kundalini Yoga should not be reduced to simply the awakening of “coiled energy at the base of the spine.” Rather it is methodical approach, rooted in time-tested principles that awaken consciousness and potential. In this discussion Rod goes on to detail the role of the navel center and how transformative processes take place.</p> <p>Rod shares key insights and systematic methodology, into how we can transcend our limitations and ultimately experience profound creative and aspirational shifts towards realizing non-duality and unity. Rod inspires the listener to reconnect with the true essence of Kundalini Yoga and explore its traditional practices, inviting practitioners to––instead of turning away from the practice––approach this ancient art with a discerning mind––a sublime exploration that reveals infinite potential and fosters a richer, more connected existence.</p> <p><span>For further study check out Rod’s online course: Tantra Shakti</span></p>

<p>A practical discussion about meditation––there are so many approaches. Do they all lead to the same place, generate the same affect? The answer is: no. Different practices and approaches can lead to very different results. In this podcast I introduce some key ideas to better understand meditation’s larger terrain and its many approaches.</p> <p>There are essentially four categories of meditation. Practices that: 1. calm the mind 2. develop greater insight and awareness 3. accelerate growth, increase power, and capacity 4. awaken spiritual experience, devotion, love and connection to Source.</p> <p>While there are common threads in all meditation practices, knowing the particular outcome of a specific practice can help you choose the best one for you at any given time. It's tempting to judge the value of a particular approach based on how you feel when you're doing it. A more meaningful way to determine the value of a particular practice is: How does it affect you. How does a particular practice help you show up most fully in the world?</p>
