【昆達里尼瑜珈對於面臨癌症的幫助】 Facing Cancer with the Help of Kundalini Yoga

 

自從 Guru Jai 診斷出癌症，她就建立了「昆達里尼瑜珈對於面臨癌症的幫助」計畫，來幫助罹患癌症的人們。

這個計畫起源於我自身罹癌的生活經驗，我很高興我可以運用昆達里尼瑜珈的呼吸、冥想、Shabad Guru、Kriya技巧來幫助罹癌患者。

過去幾年，我觀察自己對於不同體位法 (asana）、呼吸技巧 (prana)，身體上有不同反應，可能這個人可以練習，但對另一個人並不建議。我和一些醫生討論過這個主題，我彙整了一系列 Yogi Bhajan 教授的能夠支持癌症病患的昆達里尼瑜珈。

在我生病期間以及在醫院的親身經歷，我理解到每個人都需要一個完整地個人瑜珈治療計畫。這就是我計畫的開端，從一個醫療、身體、情緒、心理上的層面，在他們生命中非常脆弱時刻的教授和幫助。

活在當下，讓生命的體驗流動，喚起我們的生命，拿回自己命運的主導權，帶著尊重與愛的方式，達到每天生命的主角是那個人而非疾病本身。這個計畫包含團體與個人的課程，提供居家或線上的課程，她同時也利用像銅鑼的聲音治療，這堂課主要的目標是幫助人們在壓力下可以喘息，以及改善心理上健康的持續治療。

Since her cancer diagnosis, Guru Jai created the project “Facing Cancer with the Help of Kundalini Yoga” to support people living with cancer.

This program started with my own experience of living with cancer. It makes me happy to be able to help people with a cancer diagnosis by utilizing breathing, meditations, Shabad guru and kriya techniques of Kundalini Yoga.

In the last few years, I observed how my body responded to different physical exercises (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama), which ones could be practiced and which ones should not be recommended. After discussing this topic with some doctors, I summarized a series of Kundalini Yoga practices, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, that could support cancer patients.

During my own illness and direct experience in hospitals, I have understood that each person needs a completely personalized yogic therapeutic plan. This is how my project began, wanting to teach and help individuals who face a very delicate moment in their lives, from a medical, physical, emotional and mental point of view.

Living in the present moment, flowing into the experience that life calls us to live, taking ownership of one’s destiny with respect and love is a way of approaching everyday life in which the protagonist is not the disease but the person. This project includes both group and individual lessons also directly at home and online lessons are also provided, where she also utilizes sound therapies like the gong. The aim of the course is to support ongoing therapies while relieving stress and improving mental health.

Guru Jai Kaur is a second level Kundalini Yoga teacher and a Gatka teacher from Rome, Italy. She began studying KY in 1994 with Guru Shabad Singh and in 1999 met Yogi Bhajan at the Khalsa anniversary in Punjab.

In India, spending time with Yogi Bhajan, she understood the immensity of this mastery and since then she has been sharing his teachings.

Guru Jai has a degree in Cultural Anthropology and currently is engaged in  different projects.

Since her cancer diagnosis, she created the project “Facing Cancer with the Help of Kundalini Yoga” to support people living with cancer. 

She also travels around the world to teach and lead Kundalini Yoga and Gatka workshops, from Italy to France, England, Austria and China.

She was the director the Children Gatka program at the European Yoga Festival 10 years. She is actively participating in the Kundalini Yoga festivals both in Europe and China.
