Knowledge only becomes Wisdom ……

Knowledge only becomes Wisdom when you have a DIRECT Experience with it!

So I see about 50-70 students a week LIVE (sometimes more with my events) in my classes and it’s interesting I get “themes” of questions….Lately everyone has been asking me where the stuff I say in class comes from!

So today in class I started thinking about what came out of my mouth and where it came from! Well, I would say FIRST & Foremost from studying, practicing, reading & teaching Yogic Teachings (Mainly Kundalini) for 1/2 my life now:

Our Teacher Yogi Bhajan has a great Quote: “If you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it”

But, if I have to think about some amazing things I’ve studied.. to share with you guys…here are some books/trainings I hold dear to my Journey………

Paramhansa Yogananda: Autobiography of a Yogi (I’ve read it many times).
Don Miguel Ruiz: The Mastery of Love, The 4 Agreements…
Eckhart Tolle: The Power of Now, The New Earth
Yogi Bhajan: Any book by him; Watching hours of his videos and all my Level 2 Trainings
Zen Shorts: Jon Muth
A Path with Heart: Jack Kornfield
Anything by Pema Chodron

Dying to be Me: Anita Moorj

A Return to Love: Marianne Williamson

My 40 day, 90 day and even 150 Sadhanas (daily Spiritual Practice) I’ve done for the past 20 years! 

My training at Clearsight Clairvoyant School

My Reiki I, II, and III Master training with Erika Faith Calig, Cloud Nine Yoga
My M.A. and working as a Dance/Movement Therapist for many years
Swami Kriyananda and the years I studied Ananda Yoga 
Conversations with my dear friends, and generally being a Spiritual Seeker/Finder my entire life.

My trip to India.

So that’s off the top of my head!

Mostly practicing Yoga/Meditation and showing up for myself Every. Single. Day. has produced the most growth:

You can’t just read about it…….”Practice creates the Master”
