We have a physical life, a mental life, and a spiritual life happening simultaneously. The technology of Kundalini Yoga as Taught by Yogi Bhajan® contains a blueprint for building a healthy, happy, and holy life. It is the 3HO® way of life.2
"What is life? Life is the rhythm of prana. If the rhythm of prana is out of phase, you are in trouble; if it is in phase you are right. That is what heals." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Kundalini Yoga teaches you the techniques and awareness to stay healthy. You gain a strong immune system, vital glands, a strong nervous system, good circulation, and an awareness of the impact of your habits. This foundation gives you energy and lets you deal with the mental and spiritual facets of your life.1
Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga kriyas, breathing techniques, and mantras, we increase the life force, the prana, flowing through our bodies. It flows through our hands, our eyes, even our voice. We can use these as tools to heal ourselves and others2 on whatever level – physical, emotional, mental, spiritual – that healing is needed.
"Happiness is your birthright." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Yogi Bhajan outlined seven steps to happiness, each leading to the next.
1st Step is Commitment
The first step is commitment. In every life you are meant to commit. That is why the word is commit-meant. Commitment gives you CHARACTER.
2nd Step is Character
Character is when all your characteristics—all facets, flaws, and facts—are under your control. Yin and yang meet there, totally balanced. Character gives you DIGNITY.
3rd Step is Dignity
People start trusting you, liking you, respecting you. Dignity will give you DIVINITY.
4th Step is Divinity
What is Divinity? Divinity is when people have no duality about you. They trust you right away. They have no fear about you. Divinity gives you GRACE.
5th Step is Grace
Where there is grace, there is no interference, no gap between two people, no hidden agenda. Grace gives you the power to SACRIFICE.
6th Step is Power to Sacrifice
You can stand any pain for that person. That sacrifice gives you HAPPINESS.
7th Step is Happiness
"You are holy if you have nine holes and you watch what goes in and out! If it’s a conscious act, you are holy. If it’s an emotional act, you are unholy. It’s a commotional act, you are insane. If it’s an unconscious act, you are an idiot." ~ Yogi Bhajan
Yogi Bhajan’s words summarize the very real, practical definition of holy in the 3HO lifestyle. Holy does not mean being sanctimonious or “holier than thou.” The 3HO yogic definition is pretty straightforward. It has two parts: First “do unto others what you want them do unto you” and, second, “receive each inhalation consciously, gratefully aware that each breath you receive is a gift!”2
