Kaliji, I am finding that when I get agitated I go into breath and mudra…the mudra has an extraordinary affect on me…..it brings an inner peace to both body and mind. I feel as though I am sealing in my energy and those that want to drain that energy cannot. In some difficult situations where I would unconciously give my energy away, my hands go into mudra and my energy stays. This just started; it is extraordinary. Thank you.

I am very grateful for my teacher, Kaliji. After studying TriYoga for many years and having a regular asana practice, I now have a regular Prana Vidya and meditation practice also. With the addition of Prana Vidya and meditation I am feeling the beginnings of prana moving in my body, especially during Nada Pasyanti (sound light meditation). Years ago I had this same feeling when I would occasionally practice Prana Vidya but it felt so intense I was afraid of it and would sometimes faint. Now that I am consistent with Prana Vidya, the same feeling comes and instead of being afraid, I look forward to it and welcome it. The feeling I have is that every cell in my body is vibrating . . . changing me, renewing me. It brings me much joy.
After Prana washes over me . . . I feel creative and I hear guidance more clearly . . . and I am learning to expect guidance and I am learning to trust guidance and I am acting on that guidance and watching where it takes me.
I am reading Kaliji’s Prana Vidya manual and just now opened it up and I read: “Learn from the snake. Just as the snake sheds its old skin, in meditation the layers of the old self fall away. That which no longer serves a purpose, in our mind or life, falls away like the worn out skin of a snake.” This is what I am feeling more and more as I am consistent with Prana Vidya and meditation.
I also have been regular with eye exercises for over 6 months and my eyes are improving. I feel it won’t be long and I will not need glasses to read. I will keep Kaliji updated on my progress concerning my eyes.
I want to thank Kaliji for the opportunity to serve TriYoga with my cooking and sewing. When I cook for Kaliji and TY students and friends, a magic happens. Often the dinners are for fifty and more. I create these meals with very little help . . . not counting divine help, of course. During these times, time seems to suspend. The feeling I experience is that there is more time than tasks to do. I dance, chant, clean, chop, toss and cook all day and yet there is a stillness around me and in me. Others who help with these meals have also reported such an experience. The food is always amazing . . . I would have to say divine; divinely inspired, divinely delicious. Food that nourishes more than the body and mind but also our souls.
Thank you Kaliji for your love, your teachings and your consistency in my life. You are an amazing inspiration to me and so many others. Love, Jia Annapurna Saraswati
Namaste Kaliji,
You are often on my mind as I spend every morning with one of your “Daily 10″ dvd’s. So you are always present in my vision and heart. I feel that I have learned so much from you. For two months now, I have spent 1-1/2 hours every day with TriYoga, pranayama, and meditation.
I’ve learned a lot about my relationship to breath, really letting go, slowing down, attention to detail, and going within deeply.
After being a Kripalu Yoga teacher since 1992 (now taking a break from teaching), I thought I knew a lot about all that, but a real deepening is occuring and I am a beginning student. That feels like a good place to be. It has even affected my husband, who is 74, and he is now (after 12 years of being around me and yoga) beginning to do parts of your “Freeing the Spine” dvd. Thank you for sharing who you are and what you do so beautifully and heartfully, Kaliji.
A side effect to doing TriYoga consistently is that it has ruined my interest in any other style of hatha yoga, and I am giving away my video yoga collection. But that’s ok.
In the flow,
Kate
