[Kundalini Yoga] Re: kundalini and sikh religion

Sat Nam,

Yes many of the mantras we use in Kundalini yoga are from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib - the holy book of the Sikhs.

In my Level 1 teachers training I explain that the primary relationship between Kundalini Yoga and Sikh Dharma is indeed mantra - sound current - naad.

Guru Nanak, the first of the Sikh Gurus spoke of the power of meditation/recitation of sound - in the 1400s. These rich teachings allow us to use sound to access our higher frequencies - but you don't have to follow any one religion to benefit from them.

I'm sure Gururattan will have an eloquent response as well.

Sat Nam, Peace,

yogawithelizabeth@yahoo.com

so we can add you to the list of teachers where there is availability.

Otherwise, just come and participate! we always need someone to help with Japji sheets or to make new folks feel at home.

Sadhana is always FREE.

We'll start at 4 am and plan to end by 615 at the very latest. Every sadhana will include a reading (hukam) from the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.

On August 26th we'll host 2.5 hours of long ek ong kars to join the world meditation.

Many of us from Yoga House were at Solstice and it was great! Let's ride that wonderful energy and keep up together this summer.

Thank you to Gururattan for her lovely books, training courses and energy!

Love to you all, Gurumukh East/Elizabeth

Subject: [Kundalini Yoga] Insurance for teachers

Hi all,
If there is a particular insurance for teachers of Kundalini Yoga, could someone direct me to it?
Or any info about this.
I have never been asked for insurance before.
This is a church that wants me to lead a class, and they want me to carry my own insurance.

thanks,
Kartar Kaur

[Kundalini Yoga] kundalini and sikh religion

What is the relationship between kundalini yoga and the sikh religion?

Are any of the mantras used in kundalini yoga from the sikh religion?

Thank you in advance.

[Kundalini Yoga] Re: Voices & Depression

Hi Shanti

> Thanks for your answer, situational depression has a cause that we can recognize maybe easily.
> If a person is seeing a "medical" professional and has voices inside the head I am inclined to think that maybe is not situational, that it has its roots in childhood trauma
I started thinking I got depressed because of my situation then realised I part of my problem is that I was already quite a stressed person due to my child-hood.. Once I did lots of yoga and got rid of many of the effects of past trauma my current 'trauma' became much easier to cope with.
I couldnt change outside events so much but I could change the way I processed them.
I also came to see that my child-hood trauma was not so bad compared to what a lot of people go through and it was humbling to realise just how sorry I had felt for myself when my problems weren't that bad. It is amazing to meet people in the Kundlaini Yoga world who are healing themselves from terrible trauma's - it's such a slow process and takes so much work but it is possible.

> What you say about changing the sense of yourself is very valid in every process only that depression is a major
> cause for people committing suicide and sometimes other kind of interventions are necessary (response to crisis or intense need)
Indeed. I have a friend who got depressed through unemployment, Went on SSRI's to stabilise herself went on a training course got a job and went off the drug and is just fine. It can work.
I am sure once people are really badly messed up and or suicidal drugs may help the in the immediate crisis.

> I would never minimize the feelings or lack of them caused by depression
It's impossible to understand if you haven't been through it.
I have a theory that depression is a 'whole system' state - if you are a different sort of person from the dominant ones in the tribe you can be perceived as a threat. Your attemps to get on undermine or upset the groups values - this may make them hate and want to hurt you. When depressed you are made powerless by you own system adjusting itself. That way the group won't harm or kill you so you survive and aren't exiled. So the whole point of depression was it was a survival mechanism that allows us to have many types of people living together.If the situaiton changes you may then become dominant ant the others depressed.
Unfortunately like so many of out reactions we live in a very different world from that in which they evolved.

> and I am inclined to cover every avenue available and at the same time I would never minimize the benefits of Yoga in any healing process.
A good approach I think - we have to search and try things to help oursleves. Best of luck and I hope you find the rewards you deserve,
Keith.
