Introduction to Kundalini Meditation
Meditation is often approached with the idea that the aim is to quieten the mind. When that does not happen easily, it can be tempting to assume that meditation is not working, or simply not for you.
If you are new to meditation, want to learn how to meditate, or have tried meditation before without quite finding a way into it, this one-to-one introduction offers a grounded place to begin. You do not need to arrive with an existing understanding of Kundalini. The session uses Kundalini Meditation as a framework through which to understand meditation more clearly and begin exploring the practice for yourself.
Within the Kundalini tradition, meditation offers a different way of relating to the mind: not by trying to force it into complete stillness, but by developing the awareness to observe and work with what arises more consciously.
Introduction to Kundalini Meditation sessions are available in person in London or online.
What is Kundalini Meditation?
Kundalini teachings understand meditation as a way of working consciously with both the mind and the subconscious. Through practice, we begin to notice thoughts, patterns and impressions without automatically becoming caught in them, creating a different relationship with what is moving through the mind.
Kundalini Meditation is not one single technique. A practice may work with mantra, breathwork, mudra, movement, eye focus or stillness, often combining several elements to create a particular effect. Different meditations work in different ways, and their structure and duration can vary considerably.
Meditation also sits within the wider system of Kundalini Yoga, where the body has an important role. Movement, breath and physical practice can help prepare the body and create the conditions for meditation, rather than treating meditation as something that happens only in the mind. You do not need an established yoga practice to explore Kundalini Meditation, but this relationship between body and mind is part of how Kundalini approaches meditation.
You can read more about the different meditation lengths used within Kundalini practice and what those timings support.
What we’ll explore in the session
We will begin by looking at meditation itself: what we are actually doing when we sit to meditate, the role of attention and awareness, and how to approach the practice without feeling that you need to achieve a particular state.
From there, we will explore some of the different elements that can appear within Kundalini Meditation and how they shape the experience of a practice. You will have the opportunity to meditate directly, with enough time to notice what is happening and begin to understand the practice through your own experience.
Because the session is one-to-one, there is space to slow things down, ask questions and give more attention to anything that feels unfamiliar. We can also consider what may help you establish a meditation practice that feels realistic and meaningful for you.
Practical information
Length: approximately 60 minutes
Available: in-person in London or online
Price: £85
No previous experience of meditation or Kundalini Yoga is needed. A private introduction is not a prerequisite for attending a Kundalini class; classes can themselves be a natural way to begin. This one-to-one session offers a different entry point for someone who would value more time to understand meditation, ask questions and explore the practice individually.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of meditation and a more grounded sense of how to begin — or how to approach the practice differently if previous attempts have not felt accessible.
