After awhile you will feel a tremendous lead-like sensation in the frontal lobe.

Yogi Bhajan: With the eyes nine-tenths closed, focus at the tip of your nose. Q: What does focusing at the tip of the nose do? I am a teacher.вЂќ (Aquarian Times, Spring 2004) As teachers of Kundalini Yoga, we take an oath: вЂњI am not a woman. Sharing that purity is sharing your piety. Yogi Bhajan: A teacher is one who lives, projects, and has power through his own purity and piety. LetвЂ™s put it in a simple way: he is not a fish that is ready to be caught. He is not an idiot who just gets lost in beauty, charm, and money. Yogi Bhajan: In the world of infinity, a teacher belongs to that flow of infinity. Q: How do you maintain balance as a teacher? A teacher is not a storyteller, though he might like to impress people. A teacher has to emit a radiant psyche, and that truth which he practices has to be radiant. Q: Sir, what will be the role of teachers in the Aquarian Age? You donвЂ™t have to be popular, you have to be perfect, and you have to have an impact. Remember, teaching is not a personal popularity contest.

It will be the best thing if a teacher prepares for a couple of minutes in personal silence, repeats the Teachers Oath, and chants вЂњOng Namo Guru Dev NamoвЂќВ for himself or herself before tuning in with the group in class. Cover the whole head, not just the crown chakra. Then cover your head with a white head covering of your choice, so the energy remains with the nucleus. This is most refreshing, and is done for energy. If you have short hair, run your fingers under cold water, then run them through your hair and over your scalp. Yogi Bhajan:В The best thing is to take a bath or shower before teaching. Q:В What is the best preparation for teaching? It is a strength to keep the teachings pure to please our own consciousness that we served it well. It is a weakness to try to please every person. Every religion and every sect has their own books and techniques but as far as Kundalini Yoga, keep it pure.

Yogi Bhajan:В There is no need for mixing things. Q:В Can we teach mantras and yoga from other yoga traditions in Kundalini Yoga classes? If the music is not soothing, if it creates commotion, it is not allowed. Music that is more physical or mental than spiritual can stop the rhythm. Yogi Bhajan:В Kundalini Yoga is to create inner energy, not provoke outer energy. Q:В Is it true that only certain music should be used for Kundalini Yoga classes? Because Kundalini Yoga has eleven thousand power watt, donвЂ™t deal with it in mischievous way. Many of you do not teach Kundalini Yoga purely, then donвЂ™t teach at all.

If warm ups are needed, then students should do them before they come to class or before class officially starts, or a teacher can teach a short Kundalini Yoga kriya or pranayam series as a warm up. Yogi Bhajan:В DonвЂ™t make up warm ups personally, the teachings wonвЂ™t tolerate impurity. Q:В Can I make up my own warm ups to teach? Yogi Bhajan:В Yes, it is our closing prayer. Q:В Is singing the song, вЂњMay the Long Time Sun Shine Upon You,вЂќ required at the end of class? Do it with the group to tune them in too. Yogi Bhajan:В Is there anytime when a pipe is not fitted with the gas tank and you can fill the car? This mantra is for tuning the flow of personal energy with universal energy. Q:В Is there anytime one would teach a Kundalini Yoga class and NOT tune in with Ong Namo aloud? Sound purifies the inner and outer environments. Q:В Is it permissible to chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo silently before teaching a Kundalini Yoga class?
