About the Create Inner Peace Program

Almost daily, more scientific evidence is being published which shows that regular practice of yoga and meditation can have immediate and far-reaching impact on an individual. Yoga and meditation can establish a clear, calm, focused, and healthy state of being, even for individuals who are in the midst of intense, high-pressure situations on a regular basis in their daily lives. (See Critical Incident Stress)

Landmark Project Created for Emergency Services Personnel

The Create Inner Peace project is a landmark project created specifically to help First Responders and all those who are subjected to intense pressure and critical situations. The program uses a combination of Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and healthy food choices to help deal with these release cumulative effects of stress.

For more than 3,000 years of recorded history, the care, maintenance, and preservation of the human body have been taught through yoga and meditation in the East. Kundalini Yoga is based on the ancient science of yoga according to the teachings of Yogi Bhajan (1929-2004), who taught Kundalini Yoga throughout the world.

Dr. Bibiji Inderjit Kaur Khalsa (Bibiji), developed the Create Inner Peace program to honor the selfless service of First Responders in our society, including physicians, hospital staff, police officers, firefighters, search and rescue personnel, emergency medical technicians, 911 dispatch operators, and other community members.

Three Phases of the “Create Inner Peace” Program

In its entirety, this program will have three phases of services for First Responders:

Phase 1: Before events, classes focus on preventive maintenance

Ongoing classes are offered by certified Kundalini Yoga Teachers, along with a self-instruction manual, in stress reduction techniques for First Responders. Specific Kundalini Yoga practices have been selected to build up mental and physical endurance and teach First Responders how to apply self recovery following an event, and assist victims of trauma. More about classes >>

Phase 2: After events, classes provide recovery assistance

Following an impactful event, yoga and meditation instructors will provide classes in yogic technology that facilitates recovery from traumatic events and stress that follows critical incidents. We have created a manual and video DVD that provides at home course study for students. Video excerpts from the video and review or order the manual >> 

Phase 3: Train Trainers

Candidates interested in further studies in Kundalini Yoga and who have the interest and qualifications to become instructors in the technology are invited to attend Aquarian Teacher Training Level 1 Instructor Certification Program in Kundalini Yoga.
