Re: [Kundalini Yoga] getting out of bed early

 

As an example that one need not be a fanatic -
I started doing the set for adrenal/kidney at 4 am, after a stretching set.
I did it almost every day for over 2 months, the first time I have been so consistent. I felt good and I felt proud of being disciplined. {I always get up early so that part was not hard for me.}

Then I started to feel tired during the day and cranky. And I thot well maybe I must feel worse before I feel better.
But inside somewhere I knew that Kundalini Yoga makes me feel better, not worse.
But I kept on. Even tho I was hungry when I woke up, and it was becoming hard to do the set cuz I was hungry and weak.
DUH!

One morning when I felt really bad it finally dawned on me -
I have issues with my adrenals. For people like me, it is important to EAT when I wake up, not do exercises!
I was causing my adrenals to be even more fatigued by what I was doing.

So I have to find a different way. And I regret that cuz I LOVE doing yoga at 4 am.
But the fact is - at least for now - I cannot do it.
So today I got up and ate some whole oat cereal (good to stablize blood sugar) and after a couple of hours I'll do the set, and see how I feel.

My point is that I feel like an idiot, cuz I was actually making myself sick by being rigid.
After all, Kundalini Yoga teaches us to observe how we feel and respond to that.

best,
Kartar Kaur

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] getting out of bed early

 

Sat Nam!

Thank you everyone for your practical and 'be kind to yourself' advice about sadhana. I support this approach.

During my European tour, I could feel the relief and vibration change in the room, when I encouraged everyone to do what they like and what makes them feel good (instead of beating themselves up). And do your best to commit to do something every day even if it is for 5-11 minutes.

Another idea is to get a timer the makes it possible to automatically start playing Japji or Aquarian sadana chants before you get up.

Concerning all the techniques that Yogi Bhajan gave us --

NOT everyone is supposed to to everything.

The wide selection of sets, meditations and other techniques means that there is something for everybody. You get to choose what you want to do and what works for you at any point in time.

If everyone does something, we are each making our contribution. Together we are making a greater than we can know contribution. And we are supporting each other and many others.

Blessings,

Guru Rattana :+)

[Kundalini Yoga] Re:

 

Respects Sir / Madam,
I today for the first time got clear cut entry into the spiritual world and
discovered the facts related to chakras and were true to the most but i deny a
few though. I wanted to know how to gather info from the chakras. Please give me
any assurance or any ray of trust that i may not disturb the chakras in itself
and create the unknown. i tried before telepathy and bit telekanetic but couldnt
keep track of things happening.It worked a lot for me. i am not interested much
in enjoying the bliss and whatever others call because i came with a reason to
advance deeper and deeper into the inner world. I want to be Doctor for good by
profession and other means. Sorry if i sound arrogant with my words.

i have been doing things related to reiki unknowingly . how do i know its
really true? i try it on my self almost all the time

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] God and Demons

 

Thanks everyone for your responses.

The beauty of posting this group is somehow or the other I find heart convincing answers, great people like you respond and if they dont then I stumble on things which come as true core answers every single time. I am awed every time! Wahe Guru!

This time after posting to the group I was deeply contemplating on this, have the habit to open books to a random page (especially spiritual books).  That evening out of nowhere I decided to carry Autobiography of Yogananda and during my Wait-time flipped the book to open to "Law of Miracles" chapter and amazingly enough in that chapter Yogananda beautifully details about World as manifestation of "Light" and how lightly we should see life.. very comforting!

Also, today on youtube I stumbled on "What is my responsibility"  to negativity in the world from Eckhart Tolle and it was like hitting the Nail on the head!

The Tao te Ching (pt1 and 2) on Youtube are marvelous spiritual insights.

Love,Light,Peace

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] Tantric numerology + astrology

 

There are none. Why does a book on astrology have to be KRI certified?

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] YB Gong Mediation

 

Sat Nam Dharam
Yeah, gong is fabulous. About time that I get around to writing, since we last met at Spirit Fest. I'm the person you never remember when we meet, helping me with modifying Camel, talking about heart openers and me coming to stay at the Ashram in Millis some time..... Ring a bell?? Just in case, I'll attach a picture. 
You were sweet helping me out with my posture and giving me much needed hugs. The relationship thing is still in limbo, up and down and I feel that I need to let go and open my heart wider. You
mentioned a really nice heart opener you know. Can you possibly send it to me? I'm still thinking about coming to the Ashram, but have my niece from Germany staying with me for 3 months. Probably after that.

Sat Nam Guru Sadhana Seva,

This is the only CD in production. In fact it was skillfully edited

together from more than one gong meditation. He didn't do long Gong

Meditations. When the yoga is strong it doesn't long to 'get it'. There

are many, many audio and video tapes with him gonging. It's a blessing

to find him playing the gong as he was the master. Often the yoga sets

written in our many manuals mention he played the gong at some point. If

the date is given you can order that particular tape or DVD from Siri

Ved Singh ( sirived@saintly.com ).

Bless, Bless!

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] God and Demons

 

Satnam,

Accept whatever is happening, as His divine will. When we start living under
His Will or order, bliss comes. When we attach ourselves to the word of his
Shabad, happiness comes no matter what!

Yes at many times we met things nothing less than demons, yet we have to
remember that this world is nothing less than a playground where there is
good and the bad to create an aura of balance but in the end though hard,
the battle is won by the purest. Lets make an effort to make ourselves pure
by thoughts with the help of shabad.

If there is any Cruelty being occured somewhere let us take the help of the
Sweet Words of the God to heal it and bless people with goodness.

It is our misdeeds that brings infortunate things which leads to habits and
ultimately character and soul take an habitual shape of demon forgetting God
and creating evil.

It is by meditation and prayers we can bring around good change. Difficult
at start but once habit is created it becomes our routine.

Wish we understand this concept and
WJKK
WJKF

Satnam,
