Welcome to Embers and Wind!

In sharing the meditation guest Tal Singh practices and teaches, he reveals his faith in both Sikhism and Christianity: “The meditation technique that they teach is called saas giraas which places the emphasis on the breath, the breathwork. What the gurus taught us, what Guru Nanak taught us, was that we should meditate with every breath. We should be meditating and so that’s the kind of principle behind it. So, the way I teach is actually quite secular approach. So, it’s a spiritual approach rather than being specific to one religion. And actually, believe it or not, I actually follow two religions. I also follow Christianity. I go to the church every Sunday. I am actually baptized as a Christian also by the Church of England, here in the U.K. But I also every Sunday in the morning I go to church and then after church I go to the Sikh Temple or the Gurudwara or the Gurdwara.”
