The Path
The ground holds you. Who is walking?
Earth is the body. The densest element. The one we feel beneath the foot, beneath the spine, beneath the sit-bones in cross-legged pose.
Yogi Amandeep Ji teaches that everything in your realm — body, mind, world — is composed of the five elements, and that ordinarily they "push you and pull you" according to your karmic imprints. Kundalini Yoga is the science of taking them back. Of controlling the elements instead of being controlled by them. Earth begins this work: the kriya re-roots you in the body so the higher centers have something to rise from.
The Siri Singh Sahib Yogiji came to the West in 1969 with a prophecy. He saw what the technology was going to do to us. He said it before there were smartphones, before screens lived in every pocket. Now we are watching his prophecy come true. The earth element in us — the muladhara, the felt body — is the first thing technology dissolves. We sit. We do not move. We forget we have legs. The kriya gives the body back.
