Tuning in with Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sat Naam, and Welcome in! You might be wondering, how important is it to “tune in”? Answer: Extremely important. Whether you use the Gurmukhi Adi Mantra (Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo) or an invocation in English or Sanskrit is really immaterial. But whatever you do, don’t skip this part. When all you’re endeavoring to do is exercise, just taking 20 seconds to close your eyes and come into awareness is enough (and rarely is even this small moment of consciousness practiced by gym

The sixth chakra — as Mike and I understand it through the lens of Hindu philosophy — is the Ajna Chakra , also called the Guru Chakra, or, "that which moves us from darkness into light". With your two eyes, you see what’s directly in front of you, right here and now. With your third eye , you perceive more — the threads of the past and the quiet hints of what’s to come. This chakra is the seat of intuition. The Voice That Guides Intuition speaks in simp
