Recommendations

Pay for basic services

Based on the applicant's Kundalini Assessment, individualized recommendations are offered to improve a consultee's Kundalini rising. The interventions for improving process are time tested, traditional, scripture based, and spiritual. Comfortable yet powerful, they encompass gentle physical, pranic (energy), and mental techniques to vitalize and direct the energy system to properly support Kundalini process. Selected from a variety of spiritual traditions to be in accord with the individual's religious preferences, they are simple, natural, holistic, and effective. The carefully individualized recommendations include some physical postures, breathing practices, lifestyle practices, nutrition, Ayurvedic dietary supplements for the energy system, prayer, spiritual study, meditation, and other spiritual practices.

The recommendations consist of a custom designed package of self-help practices. The effect of the practices allows for the strengthening and purification of the subtle body so it can support Kundalini Shakti to advance the person's rising by diversion to a culminating channel and/or breakthrough to a higher level. Improvement is a result of the individual's efforts and Divine grace; it is not an intervention provided by an external agent. PKYC does not use any healing or occult methods. A correction in a blocked rising allows Kundalini Shakti herself to make improvements in the subtle body system. This does not necessarily yield immediate elimination of old uncomfortable symptoms. An adaptation period follows the improvement in Kundalini process, and this is necessarily supported in the Consultation phase through ongoing spiritual direction sessions.

The Recommendation Service is offered through individual, in-person instruction. To receive their set of recommendations, applicants must participate in a Spiritual Guidance Retreat. In rare cases, a few simple preliminary practices may be offered to distant applicants in anticipation of their visit. To be eligible for the Recommendation Service, all applicants must agree to participate in PKYC's Ongoing Consultation Service. This follow-up is essential to support improvement and make the process more comfortable and understandable. Sincere and regular practice over time along with ongoing guidance yields positive results.

Applicants must be sufficiently motivated and able to practice the recommendations and lifestyle that are needed to yield spiritual improvement. They must be sincerely committed to regular practice, be willing to take responsibility for their own growth, and be patient for results. For the recommendations to be effective, the applicant's life situation must be conducive to spiritual development. There must be adequate time, space, health, and focus for spiritual practice. Further, they must live a wholesome, principled lifestyle free of negative influences, feel a positive direction for their life, and have a strong spiritual motivation. They are expected to establish and maintain a stable, secure, peaceful, regulated lifestyle in their home in order to provide an environment supportive to practicing the spiritual recommendations. Applicants who are actively remaining engaged in behaviors considered to be too depleting are ineligible for PKYC services. This is because some esoteric, sexual, drug, and other lifestyle behaviors may dissiipate, misdirect, or toxify the subtle system and, according to TKS, render it unable to support the PKYC interventions for adequate spiritual progress, making them ineffective and contraindicated.

The Recommendation Service is a comprehensive, holistic program for improving spiritual growth. It addresses all aspects of the individual's well being. Prayer, worship, and spiritual study are always welcome adjuncts, but engaging in certain particular interventions, practices, or behaviors while a PKYC consultee may confound or impede the effect of PKYC recommendations, depending on the effect the extra activity has on the subtle body. For this reason, participants are requested to inform PKYC of any other methods, consultations, trainings, spiritual practices, and other relevant behaviors in which they are engaged. Unless other interventions are reviewed, it is understood that any additional techniques that might affect the functioning of the subtle body will not be practiced.

PKYC is designed to assist the spiritual life of its own consultees only and is not a teacher/clinician training service. Education relevant to the consultee's needs is provided, and consultees are expected to not teach others what they have been taught by PKYC unless authorized to do so.

PKYC's Recommendation Service is a spiritual direction service. It does not provide services for inquiries primarily focusing on medical or psychiatric diagnoses, psychic consultations, energy readings, astral interference problems, or life situation problems. PKYC does not offer psychological or medical treatment but supports all consultees' use of psychological, medical, and health services at their own discretion. The individual's physical and mental healthcare is their personal responsibility. PKYC is not set up to intervene in crises or to deal with cases involving extreme debilitation. Guarantees and predictions regarding the results of PKYC services cannot be given, but information about the general course of development for the individual's type of rising may be provided. Applicants are responsible for their own life situation and progress. PKYC retains the right to disqualify inappropriate and non-compliant consultees at any time.

Consultees receive their spiritual practice recommendations and their recommended Ayurvedic dietary supplements in an individualized in-person session during their PKYC Spiritual Guidance Retreat.
