Meditating with Alok was a good experience! I simply and magnificently just "was." It was not my usual meditation experience. Usually I identify with my thoughts and most of the time they haunt me. During the Kundalini Meditation I just was. I told a friend about my experience with such happiness and enthusiasm that she got goose bumps just from listening to me. It is hard to translate my feelings into words. This is something you just need to try for yourself.

I feel fabulous. The meditation was simply wonderful. I went out that night and I've never experienced dancing with such freedom, absolutely no concern with "who's watching." Thank you for the gift of free self expression. - Libby McGinley

At first I was apprehensive. Being me, that's just how I am with every aspect of life.  But, as I left I realized that for once I felt good. It was a great experience and I wanted to thank you for that and to let you know that you have another satisfied customer. - Michele Skelly

I really enjoyed the meditation. I feel it had a cleansing effect for me, revitalizing my body and mind. Thanks for sharing it with me. - Nuria Divi

I started the evening feeling a bit unsure of myself in this room with several people that I did not know, but as we started the first phase of the meditation - movements of shaking - I seemed to find some peace in being with myself and all these other people. Then I began to dance and the dancing was the best. The music was perfect and primitive. I felt so free that I just kept smiling and laughing to myself as the music moved through me. When I sat down, I could feel my heart racing. The sweat dripping down the nape of my neck reminded me of all that excess that was able to leave my body. We sat with the music and I felt grateful for sometime to rest. Thoughts began to race in. I just kept remembering what Alok said, "Open the front door and let the thoughts in, but also open the back door so that they can move out." As I felt my breath return and grow deeper, I noticed that I felt neither pain nor sadness as I had come to expect, but I felt a tremendous beautiful joy that pulsed through my body so gently and so smoothly that I felt as though I could fly. That was a deliciously gorgeous liberating moment. Then I was able to lye down in silence and feel the hardness of the floor beneath me and the wind breezing in through the window. I felt and noticed my thoughts. They were there with me and I was in a state of total peace. I left Alok's feeling connected to myself and to the rhythms of life around me. - Tuline Baykal

I went in with no expectations and no knowledge about this meditation method - just a "let's see what this is about" attitude. The experience was very calming and centering. I'd been on a high for the previous three weeks. My adrenaline was pumping so much that I wasn't able to sleep enough, but every time I would feel myself winding down (and considering the benefits of a little nap) the phone would ring with another invitation to meet with friends, and off I'd go again. After the meditation I felt that my adrenaline had finally stopped pumping at a hyper pace, and that I was able to look within - instead of outward all the time. It was great to feel that sense of peace. The night after the meditation I slept very soundly and deeply. The following morning I felt rested and able to rest some more. The peace and calm feeling has remained with me the whole day. - Lisa Goldman

The meditation was a great experience and I am planning to do it again. - Angela Paccione

I had a special experience at the meditation evening with Alok. The atmosphere was very calm. The meditation was divided into several parts. During the "shaking" part, I felt everybody's vibrations, including mine, coming through the wooden floor. It felt as if I was on a boat in the middle of the ocean. It was a very good feeling. During the dancing part, I concentrated on the music, expressing myself by combining my imagination with my body's motions. I let my associations run freely and responded with movements. I liked a lot the last part where I was lying on my back, neither awake nor asleep. I really got into it. - Gil Hadas

In a city such as this, with people entering your space at every moment, we all find it necessary to build our "city walls" up around ourselves for protection of our mental sanity... such is life. However, again particularly due to the intensity of NY, this can unfortunately begin to affect us negatively as we begin to detach ourselves more and more from our fellow "man," until we all become almost unable to even slightly trust anyone who is a stranger. This can become detrimental, and that is why I enjoyed the challenge of forcing myself to let down those walls and let a room full of "strangers" enter into my world as we all shared a deeply personal experience, together, for over an hour. It was a necessary reminder to not shut out everything in a world where human connection is truly one of the most important, nourishing elements. Thanks for the reminder. - Mary Purcell

Thanks very much for last night's Kundalini. I've done it hundreds of times and have never heard a more beautiful intro and guidance. - Greg Miller

Meditating with Alok was joyful. It felt like meditating and "staying here" in life. Looking forward to continue it. - Rafael Haroch
