[Kundalini Yoga] introduction

I just joined the group after a friend recommended it to me. I love
kundalini yoga and have been practicing it for about 4-1/2 years, and
continue to try to find ways to work it into my life without becoming a
Sikh or taking cold morning showers :) Looking forward to
participating in and learning from this group.

Re: [Kundalini Yoga] thank you guru rattana!

Dear Sarah,

* Sat Nam! Thank you so much for writing and your acknowledgment.

wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful website, it is clear, enormously helpful for beginners, easy to follow and very inspirational, somewhere one can return again and again.

* Thank you so much for your feedback. I have made sure that my business partner -- 'Guru' Gordon has seen your words. He is the one who has been working 11 years on the technical aspects of the site.

I have it used to start my kundalini yoga practice (having waited for a new moon!)

* Good idea.

using the exercise set for maintaining a flexible spine. (I have also found your youtube videos invaluable... I'm taking it slowly and have not yet subscribed to guru rattana online, though it looks wonderful)

* One step at a time. At least watch the free class so you can get a flavor of how to practice. www.yogatech.com/grol.html

Having completed my first 40 day sadhana, I felt myself strangely doubting the process even though I felt stronger, more vital, slimmer etc!

* This is one of the normal reactions of the tricky dualistic mind. Pay attention to what you feel and trust your feelings -- these are the female polarity of your soul.

* Thank your for your poem. Trust your creativity!

I also had very powerful experiences with the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa where my voice first began to vibrate of it's own accord and then my body did the same, sitting in easy pose with my legs shaking up and down like crazy as I sang! Thanks to your website, I felt in control and in awe at the same time and prepared to channel it according to your advice!! I am now lucky enough to experience this beautiful vibration when tuning in and chanting the mangala charn mantra!

* Wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

Just before I jotted down that little poem, I felt physically guided to try my first Sat Kriya and it was after that I felt a stronge urge to put pen to paper.

* Trust your connection to your soul too :+)

Anyway, I include you in my thanks at the end of my sadhana every morning... you have done a wonderful thing, lots of love

* Thank you so much for your prayers. Please include Gordon too.

Many blessings,

Guru Rattana :+)

[Kundalini Yoga] Re: Radiant body set- a experience

I'm impressed, you're doing the whole thing? I've been working on the Sarbung Dande Kriya part of the Radiant body set, and I've worked up to doing 108 (taking a rest of 10 minutes between every 27). It's fantastic, but then I usually rest a few days before doing it again, and practice other things in the meantime ( I have a very mild scoliosis, and I think this is really working on straightening it out). Maybe I'll cut the Sarbung Dandes back to 26, and do the whole set for a while, too. What I've found about the 108 so far is that it is incredible for your heart, whole upper spine, upper glands, and head- definitely turns the lights on and clears cobwebs!

BTW, try Sarbung Dande with Dev Suroop's cd Kundalini Beat. You can do it to her version of the Guru Gaitri mantra, matching moves with Gobinday, mukunday, etc, and it practically pushes you forward!

[Kundalini Yoga] Radiant body set- a experience

SAT NAM,

Wanted to ink something interesting on how Guru guides us.
Just one day ( 4weeks ago) as I was listening on Utube, stumbled on "Radiant Body Kriya" set , it came to me and lo! I resonated with that, watched it for 1:13hrs and that was what I needed. Men, it was beautiful, Did that the first day, heart was racing, thought I cannot keep up with those triangle push ups.. usually I pick a set and do that once a week with other sets following a sequence.
That same weekend I happened to watch "Karate Kid" and out of nowhere I had a very strong feeling as if a command from the Guru to do Radiant Body set for 40days! I could not even do that one day, what about 40days?.. thought my mind, and I kept pondering back and forth, but somehow took Guru's name and to my surprise I had already begun that set on Monday.. found out that I was indeed able to keep up!. This was a huge surprise to me , this is my 4th week now and this set has been mind blowing! moreover it is 10th body strengthening kriya and overcomes our inner fear!

Wahe Guru!.
You are there, always watching over us,
giving us exactly what we need
when we need it,
just if we have the heart to listen to you
you are there guiding us with full radiance and vigor!
Wahe Guru!

thank you,
Akkama

[Kundalini Yoga] thank you guru rattana!

just wanted to say thank you so much for your wonderful website, it is clear, enormously helpful for beginners, easy to follow and very inspirational, somewhere one can return again and again.

I have it used to start my kundalini yoga practice (having waited for a new moon!) using the exercise set for maintaining a flexible spine. (I have also found your youtube videos invaluable... I'm taking it slowly and have not yet subscribed to guru rattana online, though it looks wonderful)

Having completed my first 40 day sadhana, I felt myself strangely doubting the process even though I felt stronger, more vital, slimmer etc!

Then I had a wonderful experience early one sunday morning which led me to write this poem!!! (I have never written a poem in my life ;it just came out after I felt I was guided to listen to Aad Guray Nameh as a kirtan chant on youtube!!! I have read somewhere that mantras find you)

I saw a light!

'twas the moon

It talked to me

"You'll feel better soon!"

I was guided

Aad Guray Nameh

to this song, I felt a swoon

I looked again as I listened

uplifted

to see the moon and the swaying

trees saying

you'll be ok, we're here, look

at us move,

For you.

I also had very powerful experiences with the healing meditation Ra Ma Da Sa where my voice first began to vibrate of it's own accord and then my body did the same, sitting in easy pose with my legs shaking up and down like crazy as I sang! Thanks to your website, I felt in control and in awe at the same time and prepared to channel it according to your advice!!
