The morning arrived early; we had a busy day ahead.  Adi and I got up before 5 am because we are heading to Austin today for the premiere of her uncle’s film, Song of the Cicada, at the Austin Film Festival (more on this in a bit).  I had an hour to do my Sadhana before we departed the house to pick up a Sprinter Van that we rented to take Adi’s entire family south to Austin for a three-hour drive.

The following is an excerpt from my new book:   Memoirs of a Rennaissance Man: Purifying the Mind, Body, and Spirit…and the 40 Days That Follow… An Aspirant’s Account The Grace of Shuniya The crisp Texas weather continues.  During my practice today I consciously brought my awareness to the state of Shuniya (shoo-nee- yuh).  In essence, this is where we bring our mind to a place of “zero”.  In Kundalini Yoga, the goal of Shuniya is to assist you in improving your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being and health, enhancing your self-esteem and self-confidence and enabling you to develop healthy
