Nava Stay. Welcome to practice. This will be our lifelong radiance reset sequence, our yob sequence. So let's get started. Rub your palms together. Take your hands into anjali mudra right at your chest.

Can float the eyes closed, and we'll tune in with our kundalini mantra. Calling in our infinite creative consciousness three times. Breathing in. Take a full breath in. And a full breath out.

Okay. So here's the invitation for this one. If you have a favorite upbeat tune, something that you really love, something that you know gets your blood flowing, your heart pumping, gets you sweating, gets you smiling. I'm gonna invite you to pause the video and go and grab it, and set it up for yourself for this neck section of ours. When you're ready, you'll stand up.

And then a little kundalini thing that we call shake it out. You're gonna start to shake it out. We're gonna do this for 3 minutes. So this is where your favorite tune might come in. So just Feel your feet on the ground. I'm starting with my feet a bit wider than my shoulders, so I have a nice broad secure base.

3 minutes. Let's hit it. Just start to shake. And you might start with your legs. Starting with your legs, and I'm staying with some long, smooth breathing here. And my voice might even get a little shaky, but now you can start to shake out your hips.

Shake out your hips. You can go a little side to side like you're doing the bump with somebody. If you want that, shake it out. Shake it out. Don't be afraid. To move a little bit.

Now shaking out your ankles, shaking out your feet, your legs, and your hips. And then let's start to shake out through the torso and the arms and just let your hands flop, close your eyes. And if you're feeling a little silly, and it gets you giggling even better, even better. Just shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, and You can start to move the arms up, flap the hands, get the wrists open, maybe wiggle the fingers, if you'd like to take your arms overhead, you can do that, but you're shaking it out, shaking it out, shaking it out, Shake out your hands, shake out your feet, shake out your legs, turn around in a circle, any way that you can just to get yourself unstuck. Get the energy freeing up. Don't think about it. Don't try to control your lens.

Don't try to make it pretty. Just shake. Shake. Shake. Shake. Shake. Keep your breath nice and long and smooth and let your arms fly. Let your legs fly.

You can lift your feet and place them back down. A little stomping there might feel good. Just stay with it. Stay with it. Keep the body in motion. It's a really good one for if you've been sitting today for quite a bit.

Or when you just woke up and you're feeling a little, you know, like, I got up on the wrong side of the bed, This is a good one. You can drop down and shake it out low and then shake it out high and shake it down low. And shake it up high. And just keep it moving. Keep it moving. Keep it moving.

Don't get stuck on your mat if you need to take a little jog around. You can do that. Whatever it is. Just keep moving. Keep breathing. Keep shaking.

Keep shaking. It's very good for the lymphatic system. Gets the flow happening within the body. Shake it to the right. Shake it to the left.

Shake it down low. Shake it up high. Stay with it. Stay with it. Don't let yourself stop here. And last 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, a little harder for 3, 2, and one and then just pause.

I'm just afraid and just feel. Sometimes you just gotta shake it out. Well, okay. Alright. And then take your feet a little wider than your shoulders. You're staying standing for this. And if your song is playing again, you can play your song again.

Or you stay with the silence and the music of your breath. Yeah? We're gonna take a twist over towards the left, right hand touches Left shoulder, left hand touches the right side of the back of the waist, and then we twist over to the other side and left hand touches right shoulder, right arm circles behind the waist, looking back over the show over the right shoulder, And then we're just gonna stay with that. And we've got 3 minutes here. And for me, it feels better on this one. To keep the eyes open.

I find that it that if I close the eyes, it it it makes for me, it makes me a little dizzy. Might not do that for you. Alright. But staying with this, and as we know, twisting is so good for the health of the spine. It also gets into the area of the 3rd chakra, the 4th chakra, the 5th chakra, So see if you can keep your legs kinda stable.

Yeah. Your hips will turn a little bit. But see if you can focus most of the movement, the waist and above, right, above the waist. And the gaze can turn back over the shoulder. And it's just a nice light, loving tap across the heart. Into the kidney band, and we stay with it.

And twisting, as I mentioned, associated with the 3rd chakra. So it's the element of fire. Fire is transformational. Fire gets our heat going. And the work with the 3rd chakra and the reason why This works for our lifelong radiance is because 3rd chakra speaks to our healthy stamina.

And we know that we wanna stay with our practice. We want our practice to be sustainable. So if things get too fiery, it can end up burning us out. Alright. And that's the work of lifelong radiance. To do just enough to stay simmering.

Let's let's call it that way. Like like, it's simmering stamina. Doesn't need to boil over. Stay with it. Stay with it. We just keep things on that simmer, and it will keep us going.

That's what we want. We want our practice to be sustainable. No. And, yes, it's going to look different year to year. Sometimes even day to day, sometimes even hour to hour. We know this. We know it's gonna look different.

That's okay. It's a reflection of where we are, and the work is just that we keep it going. And it will shift and change and evolve as we do. Stay with it. Last couple breaths here, last couple twists for 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, and come back around to center let your arms hang by your sides, feet firmly planted, legs wide, knees soft, One of the really cool things about the repetitive movement of Kundalini is that after it stops, it's like you can almost feel it still happening inside of you just on a more subtle level. Alright. And then give everything a shake out if you need it. And we're gonna find our way down into either vira or Vadrosana. So you can go ahead here and sit on a block, if that's helpful for you.

Knees are together, feet are outside of the hips, inner edges of the feet hugging the outer edges of my block here, And we're going to do a really, really important and beautiful practice. It's called the satkria. The satkria. And this is actually a crea unto itself, which means that it is a complete sequence unto itself. For for right now, we're doing it as part of a greater set to what we call in kundalini a set, but this is a crea unto itself.

Crea means action or cleansing. Yeah. So with SUT Korea, you're gonna interlace the fingers, extend the index fingers way up and cross the thumbs. It's a variation of a Venus you'll take that up above your head. The gaze is steady out in front of you, or you can close the eyes and take the internal gaze up towards the 3rd eye center right there in the middle of the skull.

And what you'll do is you'll chant the mantra numb. So it means truth. I am that. And on your set and you're gonna draw the belly in and on the nom, you'll release it. Set nam. So it's concentrating the energy right there at the belly and moving it upward towards the chest.

We're gonna do this for 4 minutes. So here's the here's the thing about the 4 minutes. If it becomes like your arms are feeling not So great. You've got shoulder stuff going on, anything like that. You can just let the hands rest in front of the chest and continue the mantra.

Otherwise, see if you can keep the arms up. Okay? So full breath in, we've got 4 minutes. We can do it together. We can do it together. 4 minutes. Breathe in.

Breathe out. And let's begin. Nam, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, nam. Set Nam. Set Nam. Set Nam. Set Nam. Set Nam.

Set nam, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, num, set, last 10, 98, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Deep breath in, hold it at the top. And on the exhale, float your moodra down right in front of your chest. Keep the index fingers. Keep the crossing of the fingers. Extend your thumbs downward towards your naval center and press the pads of your thumbs together.

So your index fingers are pointing upward towards your chin, and your thumbs are pointing downward towards your pelvis. Allow your shoulders to drop. And now the Mudra has evolved into what we call Utara Bodi Mudra Tara Bodi Mudra, the Mudra of highest enlightenment. We think of lifelong radiance. That simmering stamina.

That keeps us going on our spiritual path. Towards highest enlightenment. Last few breaths here. Holding your Utara Bodi Mudra. Letting the Crius settle in.

Through the intelligence of your organism, redistributing Prana, energy, chi, life force where it's needed. Release your mudra. Give your hands a little bit of a shakeout. And we'll close with a long set and a short numb. Again, truth, I am that hands to your chest.

Nam. Thank you so much for sharing your practice. Namaste.

I appreciate this shorter practice for those days (like today) when time is scarce but I just want a bright pick-me-up.  Better than caffeine for sure! Thanks Ali ❤️🙏🏻
