Welcome to Episode - 17 of our Podcast “Kundalini Awakening from Karma to Dharma”.

In this heartwarming episode, I sit down with Lauren GrusenMeyer, also known as Akal Sampreet, to explore her rich history with Kundalini Yoga. We start by discussing the deep meaning behind her spiritual name, which reflects the energy of undying love and happiness. Lauren opens up about her mission to revitalize Kundalini Yoga in Belgium, bringing a more contemporary yet deeply rooted version of the practice to her community. She shares how important it is to find a spiritual teacher you truly connect with, and why going deep into one path is better than spreading yourself too thin. We also chat about the importance of a supportive spiritual community (Sangat) and how it can help during life's toughest moments. And yes—she still enjoys a cup of coffee after her morning Sadhana! Tune in for a mix of personal insights, practical advice, and spiritual wisdom.

Welcome to Episode - 16 of our Podcast “Kundalini Awakening from Karma to Dharma”.

It's essential to maintain a sense of self-awareness and discernment. The spiritual journey, particularly in practices like Kundalini Yoga, can be profoundly transformative, but it's also filled with challenges and potential pitfalls. Being aware of your own motivations, and understanding whether you're seeking guidance or looking for someone to solve your problems for you, is crucial.

If you're considering a teacher training or entering into a deeper spiritual practice, it's important to approach it with a balance of openness and critical thinking. Trust in the process, but also trust in your intuition and inner wisdom. Recognize that while a teacher can provide valuable guidance and support, ultimately, the journey is yours to navigate.

It's about finding that balance—being receptive to learning while also retaining your autonomy. Each person's path is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. So, take the teachings, apply them, and see how they resonate with you personally, but never lose sight of your own inner compass.

Thank you for sharing this story, Jelmar, and for your honesty about the complexities of the teacher-student relationship in spiritual practices.

Welcome to Episode - 15 of our Podcast “Kundalini Awakening from Karma to Dharma”.

In this conversation, Sandesh welcomes Sigrid Van Tassel to his podcast. They met at a Kundalini Yoga event for Belgian and Dutch teachers. Sigrid shares her journey of working hard, burning out, finding a new path, and now helping others with what she's learned. She talks about the importance of community, or "Sangat," and how we can all learn from each other.

Sigrid then opens up about her life before discovering yoga. She describes how she used to live by what society expected—getting a diploma, a good job, and following a traditional path—but felt disconnected from herself. She tried to please others and fit in, which left her feeling empty and unhappy. Over time, she realized she was losing touch with who she really was, and this led her to seek change through yoga.

This wake-up call pushed Sigrid to take control of her life and follow her heart. She chose to pursue Kundalini Yoga, marking the beginning of her spiritual path toward self-growth and empowerment. Sandesh acknowledges how, as teachers, people often don’t see the struggles they’ve overcome to get where they are. Sigrid reflects on how she used to make decisions from her head, disconnected from her emotions, but Kundalini Yoga helped her reconnect with her true self.
