Sat Naam Dear Ones,

To express our gratitude, our 2022 Year End Gift to you features Pauri Kriya, a meditation practice that is not published anywhere else.

Pauri Kriya was the first meditation from the tradition of Kundalini Yoga to have a body of research developed around it. It has been the studied protocol for 3 different doctoral dissertations, including the research I did on strengthening self-efficacy in people who are HIV positive.

Self-efficacy can be defined as the belief that what you do makes a difference and has been shown to benefit behavior change, quality of social interactions, and immune function. Strong self-efficacy is essential in making and maintaining social support and health behavior changes and is a significant co-factor in recovering from a serious or chronic health condition.

The belief that what you do makes a difference is not the same as holding an intention. In fact, this belief makes your intention stronger.

Self-efficacy beliefs can be enhanced and research shows that the practice of Pauri Kriya is an effective method. For this reason, Pauri Kriya is included in every Kundalini Yoga Therapy protocol, no matter what the condition.

And now we share this with you in the video, Research on the Psychology of Health Recovery: Pauri Kriya.

We are filled with excitement for the new year ahead. May good health, joy, and fulfillment bless you and your loved ones in 2023.

With All Gratitude,
Shanti Shanti Kaur
And the Guru Ram Das Center Team

P.S. Even those who are well can benefit from practicing Pauri Kriya. Once you have decided to change a habit of any kind, include Pauri Kriya along with your new behavior and notice how
strengthening self-efficacy helps you make and keep the change you want. I welcome your comments on how this works for you and your students. Reach out to me at healthnow@grdcenter.org.

How you’re making a difference…

I am overwhelmed with love for what you have done and for what you are still doing for so many souls through your service and in the sharing of your wisdom intellect and gentle encouragement! You’re an inspiration on so many levels! I have absolutely loved the course and just cannot wait to share more and do more work in therapeutic kundalini yoga! I know that my journey has brought me to this point to meet with you and to be able to serve through this beautiful and divine practice!! Thank you with all of my heart and soul…

In 1993 I tested HIV positive and was diagnosed with AIDS a year later. Like many in my situation, I was told my life would end within two years. Though I started as a hopeless case, I survived! The whole experience changed my life and the way I look upon it. Now I am in good health. The practice of Kundalini Yoga and meditation has improved my immune system 200%. Thank you!

Over the past year, I have almost complete healing; 85 percent of my strength is back. I have a regular but short meditation practice and am getting motivated to do some yoga. Thank you for your help. The yoga and meditation have brought big improvement. Blessings and Sat Nam.
