Have you ever considered that the act of adorning yourself can be a sacred ritual, not just for special occasions but as a daily practice to connect with your essence? In Kundalini Yoga, we recognize that we are much more than just our physical bodies; we are composed of a 10-body system, a framework that includes physical, mental, and energetic bodies. By engaging in the mindful and intentional act of sacred adornment, you can balance these bodies, radiating inner beauty and authentic creativity.
Sacred Adornment & The 10-Body System
In Kundalini Yoga, the 10-body system teaches us to cultivate and strengthen the various layers of our being. The physical body is just one part; there are also mental and energetic bodies that can be nurtured through practices such as yoga, meditation, and the way we adorn ourselves. Each body plays a significant role in how we present ourselves to the world, and sacred adornment can be a daily ritual to engage with these energies consciously.
For instance, adorning yourself with items that resonate with your soul strengthens the Soul Body, the first of the 10 bodies, which reflects your eternal essence and purpose. When you wear clothes or jewelry that hold personal significance, you are honoring this deeper aspect of yourself. The Radiant Body, the tenth body, governs your charisma and spiritual nobility. By mindfully choosing items that reflect your true essence, you amplify this radiance, making you magnetic and courageous in every aspect of your life.
The Power of Adornment for the Aura
The Aura, or seventh body, is your electromagnetic field that protects you from negative energies and attracts positivity. In Kundalini Yoga, wearing white is often recommended to expand and strengthen this field. However, you can take this a step further by choosing colors, textures, and items that resonate with you personally. Your adornments become not just protective layers but also expressions of your inner energy.
By selecting jewelry, clothing, or even scents that hold meaning, you are essentially “dressing” your aura, allowing it to glow with authenticity and intention. When you approach this process with mindfulness, your aura expands, creating a ripple effect that touches everyone you encounter throughout the day. Sacred adornment thus becomes a practice of nourishing your energy field, allowing you to radiate from within.
Everyday Adornment as a Creative Ritual
Humans have been adorning themselves for thousands of years, from ancient ceremonies to everyday rituals. Why reserve this sacred act for only special occasions? When you consciously choose your adornments, whether it be a necklace, a favorite scent, or a piece of clothing, you are engaging in a form of creative self-expression. This act becomes a reflection of your inner world, your values, and your essence.
Incorporating yogic & spiritual teachings into this process transforms it into more than just a styling decision. You are aligning with the cosmic energies, grounding yourself in the present moment, and activating the pranic body (life force energy) through intentional choices. Whether it’s selecting natural and toxin free fabrics that feel nurturing or wearing jewelry that represents something meaningful, these choices shift your energy and help you embody your authentic self.
Adorn with Intention, Radiate with Purpose
Sacred adornment can be about fashion, but it is not about the fast shifting trends in today’s sociaety. It’s about aligning with your higher self and using the power of creativity to project your inner BEAUTY outward. In Kundalini Yoga, this intentionality can even influence the Subtle Body (the ninth body) allowing you to better perceive and understand the energies around you. With practice, your adornments can serve as reminders of your spiritual path, supporting you in living with grace and purpose. For example; My focus at the moment is leaning in and embracing my rising sign (VIRGO) so I wear a blue crystal bracelet every day reminding me of the strengths that come with my Virgo powers. Dressing like your venus sign is also a fun way to feel more sexy and attractive.
By integrating this mindful practice of sacred adornment, you are not only caring for your appearance but also engaging in a spiritual ritual that balances your 10 bodies, nourishes your aura, and allows your inner light to shine brightly.
