Create Inner Peace is a community based on unified healing: "By healing ourselves we heal the world" or "when one is healed, all are healed; when one is harmed, all are harmed." Gurumeet Kaur Khalsa, R.Y.T. has studied and taught Kundalini Yoga for more than 30 years according to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, PhD (1929-2004) and Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Khalsa, PhD, Bhai Sahiba or Chief Minister of Sikh Dharma of the West and wife of Yogi Bhajan for 52 years. She is certified through IKYTA (International Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association)and the Yoga Alliance R.Y.T. and serves as a Minister of Divinity of Sikh Dharma, offering marriage, birth and death/transition counseling. Kundalini Yoga and meditation are taught to help our individual and collective transition to an open heart world, our timeless connection to our eternal, sacred being and the power to co-create a world of peace and prosperity for all people now. Living in concious control of ourselves through controlling the breath, with the mind, body, and emotions as our servants, we dwell in living reality, in harmony with the true self, so that the entire universe will serve you. As Yogi Bhajan said: "If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all."
Gurumeet has studied numerology based on the ancient Order of the Magi (O.O.M.) according to the teachings of Robert Camp, living Grand Master of the O.O.M., as derived from Thoth’s sacred "Game of 52" the secret holder of the ancient calendar of life. Numerology readings are given to bring understanding of ourselves and others and open blocks to self awareness, universal interconnectivity, and our impact as co-creators of this universe, dispelling the great lie - the lie that we are separate from our surroundings, other beings, and the entire creation.
"If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all."
-- Yogi Bhajan, PhD 1929-2004 |
