Adopting Your Spiritual Name

Adopting Your Spiritual Name

Requesting and receiving your spiritual name are the first steps. The next is to adopt it as your spiritual identity, which helps to awaken you to your destiny. Many students have found it important to transition to their spiritual name through a sacred naming ceremony with friends and community members. At the end of Kundalini Yoga courses a naming ceremony is often held for those who requested spiritual names.  Others have had their yoga teacher or a significant other, give them their name. People can also create naming ceremonies for themselves, to help them consciously receive, and then begin to use their new names. As with other life transitions, sharing this transition with people who are important in your life, can make it more meaningful.
