Original Light

Kundalini Yoga’s Core Daily Practice, Taught by a Luminary Voice of the Tradition

Kundalini, the universal life force, has for centuries been shrouded in misconception and lore. But in fact, beloved devotional singer Snatam Kaur assures us that, through Kundalini Yoga, the capacity to experience it is within all of us—a natural and limitless source of physical health, stillness, joy, energetic strength, and loving connection with others and all of creation.

Original Light was written for those seeking a compassionate and supportive guide to creating a vibrant and sustainable daily spiritual practice. Here, Snatam shares with honesty and gentle humor her own stories, challenges, “aha” moments, and many practical pointers gained from her lifelong journey.

Readers first explore the philosophy and foundational principles of Kundalini Yoga, and then learn the five morning practices of the Aquarian Sadhana, including:

• The Wake-Up Routine—establishing a sacred space, bathing and purification, healthy diet and elimination guidelines, and more

• Jap Ji—from 15th-century sage and founder of the Sikh tradition, Guru Nanak, this sacred recitation is both a map and a direct expression of our union with the Divine

• Kundalini Yoga Kriyas—nine energizing posture and movement sets for creating a somatic space for your spirit

• Aquarian Sadhana Mantras—seven devotional chants as the sun rises to open the doors of liberation and experience bliss and ecstasy through sacred sound

• Gateway to Divinity—the closing transition stage that integrates your own spiritual tradition and helps you to focus your energies and set your intentions for the day ahead

For those of all faiths, Original Light provides an ideal introduction and resource to improve our health, find greater freedom and stillness within, and illuminate each moment of the day.
