I began the guided practice of Kundalini Rebirthing during my 300 hour Advanced Kundalini Yoga training. At the time, I was experiencing a high level of stress, causing me migraines that took me away from doing the things I love with my family. I was overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness and worry. The weight I was carrying was too heavy for me to handle on my own. My personal yoga practice was accompanied by regular appointments with my therapist who helped me to digest the habits, patterns, and addictions that were coming into my awareness.

When I began regular Kundalini Rebirthing practices, my work with my therapist was made efficient and productive. Old stories and beliefs I had about myself surfaced and were able to be worked with. The work I was doing on the mat expedited the work I was doing off the mat. I was putting down some of the heavy loads I had been carrying because I was no longer willing to carry the weight. My migraines subsided. I began experiencing the sensation of joy for the first time in a long time. I gained access to parts of myself that had been buried since childhood. Before long, I ran out of stories and excuses to talk to my therapist about and made the decision to pause working regularly with her. I felt as though I had entered the room a caterpillar, went into a cocoon, and emerged a butterfly. I am eternally grateful for her guidance along this transformative part of my path.
Today, I use my personal yoga practice as a tool to maintain the progress I had made and to process any new thoughts and beliefs that came up. I continue to dive inward and release that which is no longer serving me regularly.
This experience informed my decision to pursue training in facilitating Kundalini Rebirthing classes and to include them as part of my regular offerings. There is something we all have that is ready to be put down. Peace is our birthright, and we all deserve to have access to that. It is my greatest honor to share these practices with you as they have served me beyond my imagination. I hope you will join me for a Kundalini Rebirthing and allow your own unique story to unfold.
LOVE,
Gretchen
