Jivamukti means “liberation while living.” This modern style of yoga emerged in 1984 in New York City. Founders David Life and Sharon Gannon incorporated their study of ashtanga yoga with Shri K. Pattabhi Jois with spiritual teachings, placing special emphasis on how to apply yogic philosophy to daily life.

    • biofeedback graph one of muldahara energy, yang, affecting the ANS through skin conductance levels

    •   This is the beginning of the graph.  I posted it as part two because I wasn't sure if it would be in order in the photo album, lol.  Please see the info under the second photo for clarification, but in brief-- this is a graph showing how the energy of chakras CAN be graphed in biofeedback.  Of course it isn't a direct measurement but it shows how the autonomic nervous system can be boosted intensely.  Any energy work, chi qong, tai chi, specific kundalini processes will show some effect of the body/mind mechanism going through great changes.  Namaste

    • Biofeedback displaying how root chakra, yang, or muldahara energy effects Skin conductance levels, measure of the ANS

    •   This is a graph I performed with a really neat biofeedback program, which is fairly affordable called Wild Divine Grapher.  I got this reading in a seated and still position with no dramatic changes in breath, only a raising of energy.  The reading shown is Skin conductance level, which is a parameter of the Autonomic Nervous System responsible for fight and flight, related directly to the root chakra system.  Now, even though fight/flight is the mechanism described in psychology for survival mentality of our subconscious, there is alot more than meets the eye.  We can actually store or choose to feel this energy as a boost, or powerful euphoria to assist in breaking through the boundaries of difficult times.  Or we can bask in the intensity of our self trust and go beyond our fears.  The applications are infinite when you think about it.  This is the peak graph and the next photo will be where it started.  The wave was really two pages high.  Something to consider.  Mind over matter if you will.

  • seriously...are there any Jivamukti teachers in Vancouver? I went to the website and it is out of date. And, why is there no Jivamukti studio in Vancouver? I'd like to think it would do better. I am in Toronto now but may be relocating to Vancouver soon.

  • There's a lovely rumor going around that a Jivamukti studio is opening in Vancouver. I'm a Jivamukti teacher who lives in Vancouver. Is this true?

  • We're talking about Washington, DC. But you can find teachers around the world here: http://www.jivamuktiyoga.com/fms/index.html
    I don't think there are any close to you, but if you set an intention for a guru, I'm sure one will find you! :)
