Sat Nam Rasayan® heals and makes others to heal
as Guru Dev Singh continues to carry the banner around the world
By Philip Deslippe
In childhood Guru Dev Singh
exhibited healing and psychic
abilities that brought him to
his first teachers, the Mexican
Curanderos, the old men of the
Toltecs. For many years he studied the
forgotten secrets of the Mexican “Indios”
and Curanderos. He became known as
a man who could “make magic,” heal,
and even drive out demons. Then
one day in Mexico City he saw a very
charismatic, tall, imposing man dressed
all in white and wearing a turban. The
man was Yogi Bhajan, Master of Kundalini Yoga. Guru Dev Singh asked if
he could become Yogiji’s student. Yogiji told him that he did not accept
students, that he created teachers, and gave Guru Dev Singh a task to
perform: to live for a year without using his powers. When Guru Dev
Singh successfully completed this task, he became a Sikh and started
learning Yogic and Oriental healing; and that’s how it all began.
To the observer, the techniques of Sat Nam Rasayan® (SNR) may
look simple, but it is only through a specific and detailed training of
the practioner that the subtleties of this healing technique can be
accessed. It takes years of study and practice to not only achieve the
state that Yogi Bhajan described as shuniya 1 , but to be able to stabilize
and recognize it, not just “walk through it.” In time a practitioner learns

to use specific SNR® techniques to bring about many different and
specific experiences in the client. Although Guru Dev established the
School of Sat Nam Rasayan® in 1992, Guru Dev had been practicing it
with his clients since 1985.
In a typical Sat Nam Rasayan® session, a client lies down in front of
a practitioner who, while comfortably seated, lightly touches the client
and comes to a specific meditative state known as “the projective
meditative mind.”
“The awareness of the Sat Nam Rasayan® practitioner becomes
transcendent and in the vastness of their consciousness, healing
will happen. The state is a pure meditative absorption between the
practitioner and the client, in the Divine.” 2
Clients see a Sat Nam Rasayan® practitioner for
a wide array of issues ranging from physical pain
and discomfort, to depression and anxiety. Those
who have a SNR® treatment typically describe
an experience of calm, relaxation, and balance.
Many find that SNR® and the practice of Kundalini
Yoga wonderfully complement each other. A yogic
practice allows one to hold more easily a meditative
space, and the practice of Sat Nam Rasayan®
allows one to practice Kundalini Yoga kriyas with
great awareness and depth.
