“Every human being who wants to excel and
to develop the character and caliber that upholds the values
of the soul needs a direct, fundamental relationship to the
mind.” ~Yogi Bhajan
Mind
& Meditation, a KRI Level 2 course as taught
by Yogi Bhajan, is intended to illuminate the relationship
between you and your mind. Through this powerful experience,
you will explore how the mind works in relationship to yourself
and others. You will begin to integrate fundamental concepts
about the nature and dynamics of the mind into your life.
Perhaps most important of all, you will deepen your meditative
practice.
The type of relationship we create with our mind is essential
to our ability to act effectively, to recognize our true nature
and to align with our Divine Purpose. Yogi Bhajan taught us
the old ways of using the mind are becoming obsolete. The
technology presented in Level 2 “Mind & Meditation”
addresses the rapid shifts we are experiencing today, individually
and as a collective.
In this transformational Kundalini Yoga Level 2 teacher training,
we will explore the following themes of Mind and Meditation:
- The
nature of the Mind and How It Works
- How
to utilize the positive qualities of the three minds;
-
How to direct the mind to give you a greater capacity for
happiness;
-
Recognizing and working with the 81 facets of the mind;
-
Advanced meditation techniques and practices;
-
Developing a personal meditation practice.
Over these 6 days you will increase your awareness of the
layers of the mind. As you delve more deeply into knowing
and experiencing the Positive and Negative minds, your Neutral
meditative mind will be yours. Your communication will be
clearer, your relationships deepen and your heart will open.
Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life!
During the training you have time to study, reflect and absorb
the concepts presented. You will have time to review information
and practice the meditations and kriyas that are given in
both the manual and home study guide as well as on the set
of DVDs that you receive in the course.
Mind and Meditation is a 50-hour course with classroom
hours and independent study. It is an in-depth transformational
learning and teaching experience with a well-designed curriculum,
manual, and support materials. This program is open to those
who have completed the KRI Level 1 Kundalini Yoga
teacher training. Mind and Meditation is
one of the five modules required for Level 2 certification
as a Kundalini Yoga Practitioner.
The course emphasizes carefully chosen meditations, kriyas,
and readings. All the information is presented in highly interactive
learning environments. You will explore topics and discuss
them with other students in both small and large groups. You
will have the opportunity to practice meditations deeply over
an extended time. You will test and observe the application
of these techniques and attitudes in your life. One highlight
of the course is a day of silent meditation to go deeper into
your experience of self.
Pivotal to this path of study is a chance for you to encounter
the energy, teaching and character of Yogi Bhajan as directly
and personally as you can. We use videos of him teaching classes
and mediations throughout the course.

About KRI Level 2 Programs:
This program is based on the comprehensive science of Kundalini
Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. The Aquarian Teacher program
is a journey of your development as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher.
There are three levels of certification:
• KRI Level 1: Foundations and Awakening – Instructor
• KRI Level 2: Transformation – Practitioner
• KRI Level 3: Realization – Teacher
The KRI Level 2 Module is Transformational and is comprised
of five modules required for KRI International Level 2 Certification.
The five modules are:
1. Conscious Communication
2. Mind & Meditation
3. Authentic Relationships
4. LifeCycles & LifeStyles
5. Vitality & Stress
The modules can be studied in any order. It is recommended
to leave approximately 4-6 months in between modules in order
to integrate the experience into your life and teaching. After
successfully completing all 5 modules a student may apply
to receive Level 2 certification. KRI requires this process
to take a minimum of two years.
Each Level 2 module has 48 contact hours with a certified
Level 2 Trainer. After the completion of the contact classroom
hours, each student participates in the post-course integration
process. This includes the practice of a 90-day meditation,
conference call classes (or in person meetings if possible)
with the Trainer and an exam and other homework assignments.
The post course work is vital to the integration of the material
and experience offered during the course. The transformative
nature of Level 2 is in the depth of experience during the
course, and in integrating the professional development skills
learned, living the values embodied, and participating in
the building and service in our communities.
