Hello Rikki and all,

 

I am interested in that posting about God-realized@ and Ganga

Kormaker. I would like to consult with these folks and anybody else with

suggestions about my method for escaping, which seems to be anger.

 

One of the most useful ideas I've run across is the Enneagram, in which I

saw the best summary of my personality -- a "reforner" i.e. a "1". The

description is pretty complete. So, I'm interested in what healers and

experiencers from kundalini, acupuncture, or any other modality might think

for working on this anger and reducing my reliance on it, or helping to

become more accepting of it so perhaps it would be less dangerous.

Currently I'm doing the "Brosa" meditation from "Kundalini Yoga: Exercise &

Meditation Manual" in the evening and the "Kriya for Tolerance" in the

morning followed (today) by the Leo I AM meditation. I feel pretty darned

healthy and notice my anger a little sooner so that I can protect people

from it; however, if I'm stressed, that is the way I deal. I also have been

working with a Jungian therapist for about a year.

 

Sat Nam!

weight & yoga

 

Hi Maggie,

 

First, I agree with everything Tammy said...(walking & drinking water)

 

I too am overweight and yes, I understand how carrying the extra

weight can make us tired. But I do get a great deal of energy from

yoga and I think Kundalini Yoga is especially good for people who are

heavy & need energy. I use Ravi Singh's video "Fat Free Yoga" as my

morning yoga. I highly recommend it.

 

You can find it at: http://www.ziplink.net/~ravi/index.html

 

It can be hard to do some yoga poses when you are carrying extra weight.

 

I have adapted some poses for my own body. For example, When the yoga

teacher says "wrap your arms around your knees".... I hold on behind

my knees. In some cases with forward bending poses I do the pose with

my legs a little apart. When they say, "lay on your back and look at

your toes? hmmmmmmmm, yeah well, we may need to see them with our

third eye as we would LIKE to see them. I also find that for many

poses done in "easy pose" sitting cross-legged, it is helpful to sit

on a cushion or support.

 

There is no kundalini you teacher where I live but I have a teacher

who teaches a "Gentle" yoga class. I take that class and she gives me

advice about how to adapt poses which is very helpful. But for me, I

find kundalini most energizing and it gives me more results. (You

probably would not enjoy a class where they do a lot of sun salutes).

If you can find a Kundalini class ask the teacher how to adapt

otherwise I recommend finding a gentle class. This will give you a

basis in the postures that you can bring to your kundalini practice.

 

Another thing that I think is wonderful about kundalini yoga when it

comes to weight loss is the mantra "Sat Nam" meaning, 'Truth is my

identity'. We are not measuring or comparing ourselves to some ideal

outside of ourselves like so many weight loss programs would have us

do. We are discovering our truest self, healthy & balanced.

 

I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to write to me off-line on

this subject if you care to.

 

many blessings,

Peggy Sue

Re: overwieght and tired

 

hi, i have a question if being overweight is caused by not letting go of the

past and trying to hard hard to control our external environment is food in

general a reflection of these two actions? I ask because my first two years

in college i was an anorexic and i always thought it was these actions that

led me to develope the disease. I know for sure the control factor played an

immense role in it developing. So i guess what i am asking do we, and if we

do , how do we use food to control our lives and hide us from ourselves?

How does kundalini yoga differ from other forms of yoga?

Thank you, Nancy

WE TALK ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF A DESIRE FOR SWEETS, MANY OF US

OUT THERE ARE EARTH SIGNS AND BECAUSE WE ARE CONNECTED TO THE

EARTH WHEN WE ARE OUT OF BALANCE FIND THAT DESIRE TO OVERCOME

THE WEAKNESS BY SATISFYING THE MOUTH WITH TASTE. IN FACT WE COULD

BALANCE THE YING AND YANG THRU 5 ELEMENT ACUPUNTURE AND WORKING

WITH THE MERIDIANS. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF THIS IS A PROBLEM

YOU SEEK TREATMENT FOR NOT ONLY IS THIS METHOD SUCCESSFUL IT

CAN HEAL EVERY ALIMENT THRU THE ENERGYS. DO NOT GO TO JUST ANYONE,

SEEK OUT ONLY 5 ELEMENT NOT JUST 8 POINT FOR THE BODY IS A COMPLEX

THING THAT NEEDS FINE TUNING THRU MANY MODALITIES. KUNDALINI

YOGA AND ACUNCTURE IS THE BEST THING THAT I HAVE EVER DONE FOR

MYSELF IN THIS LIFETIME AND I SUGGEST THAT YOU TRY THE TREATMENTS

AS WELL.

NAMASTE'

Re: Overweight and tired.

 

Rikki,

I have the same problem and decided not only to do yoga but also to

do some inner work. Especially when overeating has got to do with

your past it becomes a symptom and medication in the same time. Since

especially people with traumas etc relating to the past are caught in

a web of past thoughts they have the tendency to focus on the outside

world and forget the inside where the ego rules and terrorizes.

Personally I find a lot of help from Ganga Karmokar, she's got a

group here too. It's called God-Realized (AT) eGroups (DOT)

What I like about her is that you can write to her personally and she

answers you too.

Hope your doing well.

May everyones day be full of blessings.

Emaho,

Jacqui

Also very useful for me has been the second of a pair of sets from

Chapter 9 of Kundalini Yoga for Strength, Success and Spirit.

 

Other kriyas/meditations to consider would be "To relieve Inner

Anger" from Owner's Manual for the Human Body", or from "Transitions

to a Heart-Centered World", the sets in the "Negativity and Tension"

section, and meditations in the "Positive and Neutral Mind" section.

 

Love & Blessings!

Sat Nam Michael~~~>>>

If I'm working with anger, using a piece of rose quartz crystal as a

tool for focusing on self love helps me very well. Usually i soak the

stone in water with sea salt for at least 24 hours(to get rid of other

stuff that it might have collected from someone else's nuisance), and

then run water over the quartz visualizing the impruities leaving, and

power from Mother Earth entering through the water. The Rose quartz is

now ready to(as i would do-modify if you need)hold in your left hand

while you medtate. Is there a Kriya for Love? Anger is rough to deal

with, from my point of view.
