People think a spiritual life is a part-time job. They think it’s an adult education class one takes at a college to break up the week. They don’t realize that every breath we take is sacred and every life situation offers us an opportunity to grow. They never ask the following questions: Can I distinguish between illusion and reality? Do my thoughts move like a pendulum from the past to the future? Do I live my life in the present? ...

There’s much interest in Kundalini and Tantric Yoga today, but for these practices to be beneficial, a person must master the tools of meditation, those tools being mind, breath, will and a deep need to grow. It is essential to strengthen and refine one’s chakra system by the use of these tools to build strong inner foundation and balance, an open heart, a quiet mind, and an internal mastery of the flow of sexual energy. Tension, anxiety, fear, and deep ...

My weekend at the Chicago meditation retreat made me realize how profound Rudi’s meditation practice can be. Not only were Paul and Nina Levy incredible hosts, it was a miracle to watch people change in front of me. Tension disappeared and heaviness transformed itself into a twinkle in the eyes of almost everyone present, a twinkle that emanated from the heart where joy and love replaced distrust and fear.

The answer to human dysfunction is simple. The difficulty lies in ...

In a world that has gone topsy-turvy and where tension has reached a tipping point, we have to learn to master our own inner lives. So much energy is invested in changing political and social insanity and so little is used to change the one person we can really change, that being our self. The craft of meditation teaches us to balance our inner lives, open our hearts, live with a quiet mind, and embrace the world with compassion. It’s ...

Meditation is a craft that uses tools we are born with. It takes time and deep inner work to master this craft and learn to transform internal chaos into balance, joy and harmony. What are the tools of meditation: mind, breath, will, the need to grow spiritually, gratitude, and a chakra system that must be strengthened and refined. Chakras are a direct link between every human being and Higher Energy in the Universe. If we don’t use the tools of ...

I had an important trip to Belgium and Norway where I met groups of remarkable people who were serious about their spiritual lives, people who showed profound gratitude and asked me to return to continue to teach the Kundalini meditation I learned from my spiritual master, Rudi. The retreat weekends forced me to tap an energy force deep inside myself and transmit Shakti to those in attendance. I discovered the only thing that grows old is the body. The chakra ...

I can‘t remember one day in my life when there hasn’t been a war somewhere on earth, when poverty, politics and starvation haven’t been a problem. There are seven billion people on this planet and each of them sees their own unique reality; each of them tries to fit the rest of the world into a tiny box they project from a polarized mind’s singular vision of how the world should run. Of course, nothing fits, and we’re confronted with ...

Happy people don’t fight wars. Kind, joyous and compassionate people embrace life in all its diversity. But, to find a person who can sustain an open heart for a day or two is more difficult than finding the Holy Grail. Most people are so locked up in their minds that all they see is duality and conflict. They are right all the time and that’s dangerous. It’s better to be wrong. At least another human being can teach us something ...
