“Me within me is the purity. Me within me is the reality. Me within me is the grace. I am the Master of the space.”

THE SUBTLE BODY NO.9

When Yogi Bhajan spoke about women, he spoke in absolutes, in the language of Infinity. In his view, a woman is not defined by roles, titles, or the expectations of the world around her. She is defined by her consciousness, by her ability to live from her vastness, even while standing in the middle of the challenges.

Every August, a doorway opens in the sky. The ancients knew it. The Egyptians built the Great Pyramid of Giza in alignment with it. The yogis felt it in as a surge of life‑force moving through the spine. We call it the Lion’s Gate,  the heliacal rising of Sirius, our spiritual sun, aligning with the Sun in Leo. It happens in the first weeks of August, peaking on the 8th day of the 8th month.

Caliber is one of those words we don’t throw around casually in Kundalini Yoga. It’s not just another trait to add to your spiritual toolbox. It’s the foundation. It’s what steadies you in the challenges, keeps you grounded in your truth when everything’s pulling you off-centre.

Beyond the Mask: When Spirituality Feels Like a Costume

Have you noticed how everyone’s suddenly obsessed with “optimising” themselves? Cold plunges at dawn, mushroom powders that cost more than your weekly groceries, AI trackers telling you when to breathe, sleep, and apparently exist. People are lining up to freeze their butts off and biohack their brains into calm. Meanwhile, Yogis thousands of years ago were doing the same thing. Minus the wearable gadget and the TikTok hustle.

When I first stepped onto this path, it wasn’t because I knew exactly where I was going. It was because something deep inside nudged me forward to trust that growth happens when allow it  to in grace, even when the way is not fully mapped.

Have you ever wondered what exists beyond your daily thoughts and emotions?

Finding Joy and Balance with Naad

Presence can feel like a fleeting concept. Our attention is pulled in every direction—notifications, responsibilities, the endless stream of thoughts looping in our minds. How often do you find yourself physically in one place but mentally somewhere else? What if presence wasn’t something you had to chase, but instead became your natural state?

Life rarely unfolds exactly as planned. Each twist and turn can feel like a detour from the path one envisioned, leading to frustration, disappointment, or even despair. Yet, in these moments of uncertainty, a profound opportunity for growth and transformation often emerges. The phrase "It is what it is" becomes a mantra, urging individuals to accept their circumstances while the concept of "Trust the Universe has your back" can serve as an anchor to maintain hope. And, delving into practices like Kundalini can foster a deeper understanding of oneself amidst chaos.
