Hello Friends,

I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates about the work I’ve been doing and the new insights I’ve been exploring. From podcasts to articles and more, here’s what’s new in my world of meditation, neuroscience, and personal transformation.

Diving Into the Mind on Guru Viking Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of joining Steve James on the Guru Viking Podcast for another enlightening discussion. This time, I was joined by Alex Ni of Divergence Neuro Technologies and Columbia University neuroscience student Chelsey Fasano to explore the fascinating world of my unique brainwave patterns.

These brainwaves, cultivated over two decades of dedicated meditation, offer profound insights into how the mind and meditation can intersect with neuroscience and personal growth.

Stay tuned for the full episode, but you can see some of my results here:

I am honoured and thrilled to share that I’m on the cover of Brainz Magazine this week! In my exclusive interview, titled “Morgan O. Smith’s Awakening Journey – How Yinnergy Meditation Was Born”, I discuss the personal path that led me to create Yinnergy Meditation. This journey has been transformative, from my own awakening experiences to the development of Yinnergy, a meditation program designed to help others experience powerful shifts in awareness, resilience, and self-discovery.

I also recently joined Gareth Duignam on The Endless Possibilities Podcast for Part 2 of our conversation on spiritual awakening. In this episode, we dive into the stages of spiritual awakening and what each stage entails, from initial glimpses of higher awareness to the profound transformations that occur as one integrates these experiences. We also discuss how Yinnergy’s unique brainwave technology is designed to support these stages, helping individuals move through each phase with stability and clarity.

Exploring Nonduality: My Latest Brainz Magazine Article

In addition to my cover feature, I’m excited to share that my second article with Brainz Magazine, titled “What Is Nonduality and Why Is It So Misunderstood?”, is now live. Nonduality is a concept that resonates deeply within spiritual traditions and personal awakening journeys. However, it’s often misunderstood as simply a philosophical idea or something intangible. In this article, I explore nonduality as an experiential truth—one that reveals the fundamental unity underlying all things.

Krishna Kaur

Celebrating the Essence of Black History Month Through the Wisdom of Krishna Kaur Khalsa

In the spirit of Black History Month, it is pivotal to spotlight the luminous figures whose contributions transcend the conventional boundaries of culture, spirituality, and personal growth. Among such esteemed individuals is Krishna Kaur Khalsa, a beacon of Kundalini Yoga and a venerated teacher whose legacy intertwines with the very soul of Black History. My journey with Krishna Kaur, particularly during her visit to Toronto, unveiled a realm of spiritual enlightenment and resilience that continues to inspire.

Krishna Kaur, a pioneer in her field, has not only brought Kundalini Yoga to diverse communities but has also embodied the profound interconnectedness between the African diaspora and Eastern spiritual philosophies. Her teachings, deeply rooted in the tenets of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, illustrate a unique synthesis of cultural heritage and spiritual discipline. This blend is a testament to the power of spiritual practices in fostering community, resilience, and self-empowerment among people of African descent.

The significance of Black History Month lies not just in acknowledging the struggles and achievements of Black individuals but also in celebrating the diverse contributions they have made across various fields—including spirituality and holistic wellness. Krishna Kaur’s journey is a compelling narrative of overcoming barriers, embracing one’s roots, and sharing profound spiritual knowledge with the world. Her dedication to spreading the teachings of Kundalini Yoga far and wide, especially among Black communities, underscores a vital aspect of this celebration: the recognition of spiritual leaders who have been instrumental in nurturing a sense of unity, strength, and enlightenment.

My encounters with Krishna Kaur during her lectures and Kundalini Yoga training sessions in Toronto were transformative. While she encouraged a focus on yoga training, my inclination towards meditation practice remained strong. Despite this divergence in our spiritual practices, the respect and admiration I hold for her wisdom and her holistic approach to Eastern knowledge have only deepened. Krishna Kaur’s teachings, characterized by an unwavering commitment to spiritual awakening and personal growth, have left an indelible mark on my journey and countless others touched by her grace.

As we honour Black History Month, let us remember the luminaries like Krishna Kaur Khalsa who illuminate the paths of spiritual exploration and self-discovery. Her legacy, imbued with the richness of Eastern philosophy, serves as a beacon for all who seek to transcend the boundaries of their individual experiences in pursuit of a more interconnected and enlightened world.

In celebrating Krishna Kaur’s contributions, we are reminded of the broader impact of Black spiritual leaders and their essential role in weaving the fabric of our collective history. Their stories and teachings encourage us to look beyond the surface, explore the depths of our spiritual journeys, and acknowledge the profound ways Black history and spirituality are intertwined.

Jungle Flower

A Beacon of Inspiration and Healing

In 2012, I had the incredible fortune of crossing paths with a remarkable soul – Jungle Flower. A former photographer, poet, speaker, writer, workshop and sound bath facilitator, Jungle is a mosaic of talents and a beacon of inspiration.

Our first meeting was at a social gathering with R.I.S.E. Edutainment members, where she played the violin with such grace, that it was as if the strings narrated stories of her deep resilience. That year also marked her first spiritual peak experience, an event I was privileged to witness.

Jungle Flower’s journey is one of remarkable courage. She has openly shared her path of healing from abuse and sexual violence through storytelling and spoken word. This journey led her to establish ‘Reclaim Your Voice’ – a BIPOC survivor-led initiative creating safe spaces for individuals to heal from abuse and sexual violence. Her symposiums, which I’ve attended and participated in, are a testament to her immense capacity for empathy and healing.

Beyond her professional achievements, it’s her heart that truly resonates. I recall a moment during our Kundalini Yoga training with Krishna Kaur. Post-session, a participant complimented Jungle Flower on her jacket. Without hesitation, she offered it to her. This act of kindness is a window into her soul.

Jungle’s journey with meditation, including becoming my student in the Yinnergy program, led to her receiving the Yinnergy Appreciation Award in 2014 for her community service. She then expanded her reach through talk radio with ‘Reclaim Your Voice’, a project I proudly sponsored.

Her accolades, including the Volunteer Toronto Legacy Award (2015), the Roger Fisher Scholarship (2016), the Write Your Self Scholarship (2017), and the Mayor’s Community Safety Award (2021), are just the tip of the iceberg. In 2019, she mesmerized a sold-out audience with her one-woman show, ‘Jungle Flower Dragon Heart’, where she shared memoirs through various artistic expressions.

Jungle Flower’s impact stretches beyond the Canadian borders, with invitations to speak at universities in the US. Her recent venture into sound baths is yet another layer of her multifaceted talent. Attending one of her sessions is an experience of deep relaxation, emotional stability, and a journey into heightened intuition and inner peace.

For those in Toronto, seeking elevation, healing, and a profound connection, I cannot recommend Jungle Flower enough. Her individual, group, and couples sessions are transformative experiences that go beyond mere relaxation.
