Introduction to the TechnologySome background and a sampling of Transition Stress Management technology is provided here for those who would like to know more about it. Much has been written about Kundalini Yoga, but little of it is accurate. This is largely because until about 30 years ago, the technology was not taught to the general public and remained a secret among the yogis who practiced it for centuries in the Himalayas. Then in late 1968, Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga, arrived in the United States and began publicly teaching this technology to anyone who cared to attend his classes. For many years, Yogi Bhajan's classes for credit at the University of California in Los Angeles were a legend among students, and subsequently became, along with his other classes, lectures and workshops over the years, a treasure trove of techniques for higher consciousness that we shall be mining for centuries. Please be advised that Transition Stress Management training is normally provided in person by experienced teachers who respect the power of the technology. Yoga is a discipline that, like martial arts, should not be abused. There are no exercises in Kundalini Yoga that practitioners invent; all of the technology has been initially taught by Yogi Bhajan and should be practiced exactly has he has taught it. Therefore if you practice any of the exercises available on this website, you should carefully adhere to the instructions given, including how to Tune In (given below), and you should observe the time duration and/or frequency of practice restrictions stated within the description of each exercise, so that you do not overexert yourself.

The first thing you should always do at the beginning of any yogic practice is to tune in to the wisdom within you by calling upon it for guidance during the exercise and/or meditation. Even when a trained yoga teacher is present to instruct you, both teacher and student should tune in this way together. Here is how you should tune in: Sit with a straight spine, eyes closed, hands with palms together in a prayer position in front of the chest. Inhale deep through the nose and use the full breath to chant aloud: Ong Namo Guroo Dayv NamoThis is pronounced "ohng" (rhymes with sarong), "nam-oh" (rhymes with ramone), "goo-roo" (rhymes with spoon), "dayv" (rhymes with wave), "nam-oh" (rhymes with ramone). This means "I bow to the wisdom within, present everywhere, I bow." Then inhale again and twice more repeat this chant, each time on a full breath. Then you can begin to exercise.
