Wolf Moon
Light on Kundalini Newsletter
Dear Friends,
Early this morning as I was rising, I found my granddog lying in the light of the setting Full Wolf Moon. He was bathing in the moonlight so gracefully, positioned perfectly toward the window facing this gorgeous Super Moon—the first of 2026! I met him there, and we did our Sadhana together in this exquisite moment. Before merging with this opportunity to be still, I felt myself listening and sweetly deepening my relationship with this pup.
Hamish is the most intelligent border collie, one who can outrun any other. Yet his sensitivity makes him the most powerfully devoted four-legged companion I have yet to meet. We experienced multiple sightings of our male moose “Hermes” and his family. Hamish looked on quietly, and with a strong couple of protective barks, we felt safe and warned. Without question, we respectfully shifted our direction. The moose family stayed with us throughout the holidays as our totem—you can learn a great deal about this in Animal-Speak by Ted Andrews.
Happy New Year, my friends. Take this time to be still and feel the gratitude of this tenth year, this radiant body, to keep yourself healthy and happy. Continue to find time in these early morning magical hours to receive. Remember: the teacher lives within you and she is so awakened to your presence, just as my dear Hamish keeps up. Let us devote ourselves to each other. Let us stop all worry, and let us howl and open our voices in truth—serenely, politely, and patiently.
I’ll see you this morning as we open up this New Year together and practice on Instagram at 9am Mountain Time. We will practice a specific breath sequence for you to start a 40-day commitment to open the channel of the number eight, the Pranic body, in relationship to your own lung capacity. We’ll widen the rib cage to allow more breath to fill your lungs and develop the power to heal thyself through Pranayam! It’s called the Victory Breath!
Blessings and Love,
Karuna

Karuna’s Light on Kundalini: Your Lifestyle Guide to Yoga & Awakening is a refreshing antidote to the noise surrounding modern spirituality. Instead of offering quick fixes or mystical theatrics, she delivers a grounded, intelligent, and deeply human guide to Kundalini Yoga as a lived path. With more than four decades steeped in practice, teaching, and international service, Karuna brings authenticity and maturity to every page.
Her explanation of yoga’s cosmology — from Prakriti and Purusha to the Gunas and the workings of the mind — is woven with clarity and relevance. She makes ancient yogic philosophy accessible without diluting its depth, connecting it seamlessly with neuroscience, emotional awareness, and daily life.
But it’s her personal stories that give the book its heartbeat. Her account of returning to a flooded home, and the spiritual insight that followed, is a rare blend of vulnerability, discernment, and grace. She writes about grief, reinvention, identity, and resilience with disarming honesty.
The practical elements are equally strong. Her kriyas, breathwork practices, grief-healing modules, and mindfulness sequences are presented with structure, intention, and compassion. They’re written for real people dealing with real emotions — not for performance, but for restoration, clarity, and awakening from the inside out.
Karuna’s decades of global work through the United Nations, Light on Light Publications, and international yoga communities give this book a wider resonance. It’s not just a guide for personal growth — it’s an invitation to participate in collective uplift.
Thoughtful, grounded, and genuinely supportive, Light on Kundalini is a trustworthy guide for anyone looking for real spiritual practice rooted in wisdom, experience, and heart.
