Says Stuart: "It's very healthy to recognize we have impurities and that we're here to work on ourselves to grow. As you grow your chemistry gets more and more refined, deeper, and less involved in your neurosis and anxiety..."
Says Stuart: "I am here to give, that's what I am here to do. I'm like a cow. You've gotta milk the cow. And the more you ask and the deeper you go in yourself, the deeper your need the more it demands that I grow and provide the energy, the shakti..."
Says Stuart: "Compassion is alway about doing for other people. Compassion is the Holy Ghost. It's your communion with life. You communion with anger, your communion with unhappiness. If you commune with life with compassion the language you are speaking is the highest language on the earth..."
Says Stuart: "Patience is a big one. All day long stuff comes at you. If you're not centered, you won't have patience..."
Says Stuart: "The only thing that can hurt you in your life is your lack of trust. Because then you approach everybody with a shield. And you're going to be involved in a fight. First of all you've got to trust yourself. You have to trust your own life..."
Says Stuart: "When you don't try, you die. But there is the intelligent use of trying. When you try consciously, it means you use all the tools you have to open inside in a way where they work. You become a master of yourself..."
Says Stuart: "I promise you there isn't a person in this room, it could be in 10 minutes, it could be this moment, it could be in 3000 lifetimes, that not going to have to make this step towards commitment to a spiritual life..."
Says Stuart: "On the way in here Kris and I were talking about different aspects of, not so much meditation but really wanting to get to God. There is a real difference. Meditation, as I've often said is the gym. But the whoile commitment to having a spiritual life is very different..."
Says Stuart: "Rudi was working on a inner work that would take the consciousness outside of time and space. Advanced work is very simple. You evolve into it. When you've worked long enough o n yourself it becomes organic to your life..."
Says Stuart: "Start with having compassion for yourself, okay? Really accept the fact that you are a really beautiful soul inside yourself. Just accept it...."
Says Stuart: "I have let go of things that were so dep inside me I didn't even know what they were. But one day, I could feel... wow. What happened? I didn't have to know what it was..."
Says Stuart: "You are not going to let go all at once, but you can a step at a time. And don't beat yourself up if you're not perfect. Perfect is insanity. God is perfect. The rest of us are taking a step at a time..."
Says Stuart: "I think the best way to support any other human being is you build your spiritual life. If you build your spiritual life, if you live your life with your heart open, with love, as a happy person they will come to you..."
Says Stuart: "If you're saying a prayer for a person they're going to feel it. The love is going to flow between you and them. The love is going to be expressed differently with every human being..."
Says Stuart: "We've all blown it. Raise your hand if you haven't blown it at least 20 times in the last 4 days. We all makes mistakes, it's part of learning. We grow from that..."
Says Stuart: "There is a thing in meditation called mudra. Mudra is our hand positions you often see in paintings and statues of Buddha, they sit in different positions. You see Christ with his hands... It's all called Mudra..."
Says Stuart: "I'm not here to tell you what to do next. You open and it will come, I promise you.You open in yourself, go deep inside,whatever you're going to do next will come..."
Says Stuart: "The first cycle in a human being is learning how to become human. That's it. That's all you're doing on the first cycle. You are transforming all the things that are keeping you from functioning like a human being into Kundalini..."
Says Stuart: "Take in the energy. Open up. Do your exercise. get cenetered. Don't create a wall between you and what the Universe is trying to give to you. Open up. Let it come in. Trust..."
Says Stuart: Says Stuart: "You need fuel to work against. If we didn't have craziness we wouldn't have anything to work against. We need it. But it's what you do with it. If you're dumping it on people, if you're angry with the world, it's killing you..."
Says Stuart: Most emotions are like quicksand. The highest emotions are love, joy, and being happy, an open heart, sweetness. Your responsibility is to take all the negative emotions and transform them into chi..."
Says Stuart: "It is taking the things that are killing you— all the tension, all the emotion, all the problems you have, and building a chakra system that is strong enough to transform all those things into a spiritual life..."
Says Stuart: "Surrender doesn't mean you become some kind of wimp. Surrender means letting go of all the images of yourself. Then you go up there and say sh*t, I WANT. Here I am an empty vessel, I want my spiritual life!"
Stuart Perrin continues the series on "Becoming Happy II" with the 6th installment— "Igniting Kundalini". Stuart reminds us that the fire that transforms tension is at the base of the spine. And in order to ignite it you have to feed it. I use to have 4 fireplaces up in Woodstock and you had to feed them wood or they burn out. You have to keep feeding the fire. The best fuel to feed the fire is just our tension. Recorded live during a NYC meditation retreat, January, 2011. Mr. Perrin is a Kundal...

Stuart Perrin continues the series on "Becoming Happy II" with the 3rd installment— "Healthy In Body". Stuart reminds us that there are so many venues in this world to make sure that we stay as healthy as possible. Your body is your temple. in your body the chakras are the altars in the temple. If you have an unhealthy body, all of your energy, all of your life, everything goes into healing yourself. It takes away from the prime purpose of getting to God. Recorded live during a NYC meditation re...
Stuart Perrin continues the series on "Becoming Happy II" with the 2nd installment— "Renewal of Inner Life". Stuart reminds us that Higher Energy of the universe is infinite. It has no limitation. The limitations are what we set on it by the defenses we set up on ourselves, by all the borders and boundaries we create around ourselves, by that thing in us that says "I can't".

Mr. Perrin is a Kundalini yoga teacher of 38 years out of New York City, practicing in the lineage of Ru...
Says Stuart: "The world around us is our guru. We are given a teacher from the moment we're born. Then you've got to go to some guru, in quotes, in a physical body in order to learn how to open deep enough inside to let life be your teacher..."
