Praise for Meditations for Addictive Behavior:
“This 75 page savior is definite proof that big surprises can come from little packages. Though short on words, this amazingly spiritual read is full of love, light, beautiful pictures, and some of the most helpful yoga poses and beneficial exercises I have ever seen. The layout is perfect, the author in her infinite wisdom kept it simple and easy to follow. The whole experience just flowed.
I just fell so in love with the enlightened energy in this book. The pictures were so breathtaking and peaceful and I enjoyed how they showed each posture so I could follow along. There were even types of food and prayer designed to help us move past our addictive obsessions and embrace life in a positive and blessed way. This small wonder has made it clearly and easily into my spiritual tool box and I would recommend it to anyone looking for glorious ways to hope and health. Thanks Mukta, for sharing your wise and compassionate self with the rest of us.”

“All students of meditation, as well as those coping with addiction and their loved ones, would do well to read this. Dr. Khalsa explains the scientific basis of addiction and the program to overcome it in brilliant, clear terms.”
~ G. Khalsa
“This book was extremely informative. The food suggestions were the most important to me. I do not meditate or do yoga and am recovering from alcohol addiction. The foods help a lot in rebuilding my body. To me this book is very informative and helpful for day-to-day recovery. Also, you do not have to meditate or do yoga to relate to this book. Thank you.”
~ H. Khalsa
“The book is beautiful, totally sweet, and perfect in its simplicity – “user friendly,” … The book could be picked up by someone with virtually no experience with meditation and be used safely and effectively.”
~ Dr. Rai Kaur
“As a student of Kundalini Yoga, I know how powerful the meditations are, and as a person in the 12 step program, I’ve found this book both interesting and helpful for day to day life. Yogi Bhajan’s wisdom is inspiring. I truly recommend this book for anyone who needs a little extra help. Who doesn’t?”

“I recently received my copy of “Meditations for Addictive Behavior” by Mukta Kaur Khalsa, Ph.D. After examining it from beginning to end, I’m feeling the need to passionately recommend it to all yoga and meditation teachers and students, anyone personally struggling to break addictive behavior patterns of any kind, and even to healthcare workers searching for a special extra tool to offer their clients. The book is beautiful, totally sweet, and perfect in its simplicity – “user friendly,” not intimidating in any way, and aesthetically lovely. It contains twelve meditations, with twelve dietary tips, and twelve powerful poignant pithy quotations from Yogi Bhajan, the master of Kundalini Yoga. Mukta Kaur was one of Yogi Bhajan’s first students and she said some of these meditations were given to her personally by Yogi Bhajan, and before now, the only source for them were the handwritten scrawls on small note papers she had kept for decades. The meditations are “accessible,” and the presentation of the book is friendly and warm. The book could be picked up by someone with virtually no experience with meditation and be used safely and effectively. I can’t say enough about the beauty of this work, delivering so gracefully Yogi Bhajan’s teachings on breaking addictions, by a professional so dedicated to spreading this invaluable information. This little book is a gem, totally unique and utterly elegant.”

Sautéed Almonds for Women
Great during the female menses cycle and also the first forty days after giving birth. Sautéed almonds are a highly energizing treat. Heat a small amount of almond oil, butter or ghee* over medium flame. Add 6 to 8 whole unpeeled almonds and stir continuously until they begin to pop. Remove from heat and add honey to taste.
