Guest guest Posted March 12, 1999 Report Share Posted March 12, 1999 Nemaste So many new faces in the last couple of days.....thanks for joining us. I would like to know a little bit about our group..what everyone would like to see here?.....what brought you to this list? Have you been actively involved in Kyoga or want to learn about it? Would you like to see informative posts? or just ask questions, allowing for a free exchange of ideas and experience? I would like to hear about people's experience with kyoga....how you do it, in what surroundings...music or tapes you use.....what books you found helpful...anything that will give our members ideas and inspiration. Most of us are doing this on our own, without any kind of formal instruction. To introduce myself....I live in a small town east of Toronto, Canada. I am a healer using my own brand of hands-on and remote healing. I use Reiki, Therapeutic touch and an inner child process to help people. This is not a full time occupation....I mainly help people over the Net as I find my effectiveness is greater using this energy medium. I have facilitated earth healing meditations for several groups. I am a chakra teacher and student. I teach an eight week course...with each week concentrating on each chakra...utilizing meditation, sound, visualization and journal work to get the lessons across. I got on my path eight years ago after breaking the L4 flange in my back. I liken my path to a river....flowing with it where it wants and needs me to go...learning all sorts of things, keeping what resonates and putting the rest aside just in case I need it later on ) Part of my healing process involved kyoga at the 3HO ashram in Toronto. I can proudly say that today I am healed of that injury and now the process has gone deeper. Kyoga taught me to quieten....to be just with me....taught me to expand my consciousness....taught me to breath...brought all my chakra work into workable patterns. So with all that said.....my brain is very pickable. I suppose I would be great at spiritual trivial pursuit. ::grins:: Please, let's keep this rolling......I want to learn ) Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Greetings All, Re: Intro I'm a 43 year-old male who's recently found himself surviving by being a computer programmer (never thought I'd be getting around to that in my 40's!). However, my 1st love is things spiritual and the human-potential movement. I've studied/practiced various paths since my adolescent years. About 10 years ago I realized that what I was doing "best fit" what's now called the neo-shamanic movement. I do shamanic journey work in two circles (one public; one private and more healing focused). I came to practice KY about three years ago when a friend taught me a set of breathing exercises he describes as being from the "Seik" tradition. I have long practiced Hatha yoga and other body/energy work (Chi Gung, Creative Visualization, etc). I found the KY work greatly increases my energy and helps me to sense energy movement (most helpful to the shamanic work!). I have just recently started studies of Reiki and touch-healing. I would like to continue to share the experiences of working with KY, but also suggestions on how to practice, too. I was taught the exercises I do just once, I'm sure (without an instructor) my practice could use fine tuning!

Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 Mykal On behalf of all our rs, may I welcome you to Kundaliniyoga, and hope that you enjoy your time with us. Maybe you could tell us a bit more about the exercises you are doing. It is difficult to advise on such things on-line, but maybe some of our rs could give you a few pointers to help you with your work. I would also remind you that there are a lot of links in our bookmarks area, to many different sites covering KYoga and other topics of interest. Namaste Gordon I >found the KY work greatly increases my energy and helps me to sense energy >movement (most helpful to the shamanic work!).

Guest guest Posted March 13, 1999 Report Share Posted March 13, 1999 - Susan <sboles <Kundaliniyoga > Friday, March 12, 1999 6:34 PM Introduction >"Susan" <sboles > >Nemaste > >So many new faces in the last couple of days.....thanks for joining us. > >I would like to know a little bit about our group..what everyone would like >to see here?.....what brought you to this list? Have you been actively >involved in Kyoga or want to learn about it Hello Susan, Thanks for introducing yourself. Here's my introduction. (sorry if my english is not correct) I live in the netherlands, europe. I 've been practicing meditation on and off for about 30 years. I 've always been fascinated by kundalini yoga but never got round to actually doing it. Mainly because my sufe teachers warned against it, as being dangerous. I 'm still fascinated and would like to know more....(dangerous things attract me most) I've been participating in Project Nature Connect for the last 5 years. It's a course that teaches you how to reconnect to nature as the source of all healing. It must be similar to your earth healing background. Project Nature Connnect is very practical, you're invited to do certain exercises in nature that have a rebalancing effect and open up your senses in new ways. It's very inspiring and it helped me to recover from a rollerscate accedent that caused neck injury. Which brings me to an important question (probably difficult to answer) I 've had neck surgery , some of the nerves in my neck were permanently disabled, because they caused a lot of pain. Ever since I wonder whether this could affect doing meditation and kundalini excercises. Do have any experience which these things?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 Hi all, I'm one of the new ones to this list. I live in McLean, Virginia, and work out of my home (am a writer/public relations specialist in the field of education). I have done Hatha yoga since the late 70's and am currently in teacher training for Iyengar and Anusara yoga (an 8-month course). I've also meditated on and off for 20+ years, and am taking Reiki training next weekend. A few times in my hatha classes through the years, I've had teachers introduce a little Kyoga and have found it powerful. I've also been introduced to the mudras. But I am really a novice, wanting to know how Kyoga can be integrated into my yoga practice and also how it can help deepen/strenghten my meditation. Susan and Barbara mentioned the chakras, and I'm also very much interested in this. I've been using sound wave therapy for awhile, which is attuned to the chakras. I've had my chakras read. But, like with Kyoga, I don't know much. I'm looking forward to learning from, and sharing with, you guys. Namaste, Luann @ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
