Guest guest Posted July 1, 2000 Report Share Posted July 1, 2000 hello all, a couple days ago, I was doing a set from Transitions to a Heart Centered World. I believe it was the first set listed for the Navel center. Anyway, after a minute or so of doing Stretch Pose with Breath of Fire, my legs began trembling...Was this due to muscle fatigue? When this happens should I continue on with the exercise or take a short break? I do stretch pose every morning as part of a Wake Up set, but have never had this happen then... Any information would be appreciated, Brian ______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2000 Report Share Posted July 2, 2000 Dear Brian, Your nervous system is adjusting. Unless you can't physically do the exercise, keep going. Make sure the small of your back is on the ground in stretch pose. If you need to have your hands under your buttocks to keep the back on the ground do so. Use the abdominal muscles and the navel to keep the back down. Fire, my legs began trembling...Was this due to muscle fatigue? When this happens should > I continue on with the exercise or take a short break? You can always take a short break and resume stretch pose. Then deeply relax afterwards even for 1-2 minutes. The body can totally let go after stretch pose. The best relaxation is possible. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Dear Group, What a wonderful story about the cat. Bless her. I have an issue I don't normally raise because I think most people think I'm hysterical or crazy. But I'm going to ask if anyone can help me with the following. I had a bitter childhood filled with violence and emotional neglect. It left me with post traumatic stress disorder and depression. My comfort came from animals and even today I "see" them as my companions, my friends and my children. I talk to them, they talk to me and they still comfort me. My dilemma is that what ever I read or hear about animal cruelty, neglect or anything remotely negative makes me ill. Physically I become a wreck and stay upset for days. This is so strong that my medication or therapy makes no diffirence what so ever. Is there any one that can suggest anything I can try? I also want to say thank you for all your interesting postings. I don't agree with this strict adherence to Kundalini only. After all we are all trying to heal, recover and progress. With love.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Practice patience is one of the important training in meditaton, together with no attachment, no emotional feeling etc..... Who will give you opportunity to practice patience? Normally is your enemy, so focus the kindness of your enemy, which give you opportunity to practice patience. Think of another possibility that this animal may be in the jungle and "ill-treated" or eaten by other bigger animal.Degree of ill-treatment will be much more than by human beings. Meditate with opposite to your feeling. I suggest you take up more in depth training in the meditation. Blessing protea wrote: > Dear Group, > What a wonderful story about the cat.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 Hello! My dilemma is that what ever I read or hear about animal cruelty, neglect or anything remotely negative makes me ill. Physically I become a wreck and stay upset for days. This is so strong that my medication or therapy makes no diffirence what so ever. Is there any one that can suggest anything I can try? Well, I thought I would respond since I can identify with your feelings, though I don't stay upset so long myself. One aspect to consider is the "negative mind" as explained by Yogi Bhajan. We also have a positive mind and a neutral mind, which ideally should all be in balance. I know that when under stress my negative mind can get a bit out of hand and I'm working on that. So, that is one thing- to do sets for negativity, like in _Transitions..._ or the ten body set. The other aspect is that yes, there is a lot of cruelty to animals (how about slaughter houses?!) and something should be done about it. Perhaps taking action may help you. Volunteering at an animal shelter or encouraging vegetarianism. There is a lot of bad that happens, but there is good too, so we have to remember that. Also it is good to be aware of God and the universe. My husband studied the environment in college and became very depressed over where we are headed. Then he had an experience with God and came to feel his position in the universe and began consciously serving God through chanting and other means and began to find peace. I think it is good that you are sensative enough to feel compassion for animals. I think it is just a matter of finding balance with the positive and with your relationship with the universe. I also want to say thank you for all your interesting postings. I don't agree with this strict adherence to Kundalini only. After all we are all trying to heal, recover and progress. Yeah, that's true and I have been receiving that very message lately from other places too and I am glad. With love.

In addition to other good advise, there is one thing that must be dealth with sooner or later. You must make peace with and integrate your emotional body into your consciousness. This is a long term project. I have been at it for over 10 years. I had to figure out what to do. I have written about it in my NMB newletters on Pices, Cancer and Scorpio. We have to feel all our emotions in our body. This includes anger, fear and sadness. For the emotions are the force field of the soul. Our energetic power resides in our emotions. This is not comfortable for a long time. It takes practice. We have to be willing to feel uncomfortable. Eventually we will get off on the energy and be confortable being uncomfortable. Then the emotions will no longer automatic conditioned responses from the past but current information about the present. This is how we energetically learn to love and empower ourselves. Of course, we get in touch with all the abuse of the past and need to work through it. But we also get in touch with our primal power and soul. Kartar Kaur, when you start to learn this lesson, you may find yourself attracting other circumstaces that are more aligned with your destiny path. Actually this lesson is part of your destiny path. So the sooner you begin the better. Jacqui, consider this part of your power path. Do you have the Animal Cards. That could also comfort you. Find ways to comfort yourself. Being with yourself energetically will ultimately be the best comfort you could every have. Don't listen to people who have judgments about you. This is your life and you have choosen it to become empowered. I suggest Kirtan Kriya for emotional balance. 31 minutes for 1000 days. We have to work at a very deep and subtle level to align the emotional body Blessings to everyone and all you beautiful sensitive ones.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Hi there, I don't know who asked this question, but here goes. No my name is not Levin but I am from Cape Town. Under the previous goverment I was not allowed to return and will now do so for the first time in forty years. I must be one of the last exiles going home, now for a visit, maybe later for good.
