Volume 1: Getting Clear
"Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves."
- Blaise Pascal -
Getting clear about what your goals and dreams are is the first step in creating the life you want. Once you are clear, the next challenge is keeping that focus and actually making it happen. The fire of the kundalini energy gives us clarity, commitment, discipline, willpower, and the ability to carry out our intentions and accomplish our goals.
This issue of Yogic Living offers inspiration and yogic wisdom on getting clear, setting goals, and maintaining your focus. Get crystal clear on your path and goals for the new year and act consistently in higher consciousness to attain them.

Clarify your understanding of yourself and who you are. Let your actions and commitments express your truth. Get clear about who you are so you can be that person to the world. This kriya helps us develop an understanding of our self, our mind, our body, our soul. The yogis call it the science of crystallization.
Beaming and Creating the Future

- Anne Lamott -
How do we stay calm and steady, connected to our sense of self, when it seems like our world is in chaos?

The practice of Kundalini Yoga creates an internal biochemistry of mental calm and clarity.
This issue of Yogic Living offers resources to alleviate excessive worry, incessant mental chatter, and persistent anxious thoughts. Meditate to calm the mind and open into a profound stillness.
