THE YOGA HOUR TEAM COMMENTS: I really enjoyed your conversation today with Marty Wuttke. His deep understanding of the teachings of Kriya Yoga and consciousness along with his work in neuroscience and neurofeedback brings a real sense of understanding of how these ancient spiritual teachings work in our lives. He says “You are not a body producing consciousness, but consciousness producing a body…Consciousness is the life force. He explained what consciousness is.
He reminded us how our subconscious really affects most of what we say and do. The negative patterns (samskaras) in our mind, most of which are developed by the age of 7, don’t have to shape the trajectory of our life if we don’t want them to and he shared techniques that can support positive changes. He said that he can “guarantee” that we can experience superconsciousness with Kriya Yoga practices. We just need to be patient. His teaching is very practical and accessible. I highly recommend this program.
DR. TRUJILLO’S COMMENTS: I enjoyed Marty Wuttke’s perspective about neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, that our brains can remodel and regenerate themselves, and do so in response to a steady meditation practice. I found our discussion of samskaras to be very hopeful, that although we have negative patterns or habits that we fall into, we can use the same process to build new positive habits. I also appreciated the information about affirmations, that they require focus, visualization, and positive emotion to be fully successful. I affirm, with gratitude to Marty and to Roy Eugene Davis: “The radiant purity of my essence of being continuously illumines my mind and consciousness”.
