Hi, My name is Marcos.....

I sended this letter to you because I need some help about Practicing Yoga.

 

Last month, I'm beginning to practice Reiki (level one) because I'not feel happy

about my tipical life-style ("working-eating-slepping-watching TV"). I decided

to start a new life-style more spiritual-oriented so I'm starting to do some

hatha yoga in my house with a book I bought last week.

 

Every mornings I try to wake up early to practice Hatha, but I can't do it and I

say : "Well, I'll do it tomorrow....". And the next day this situation happend

again and again.

 

I feel like a need some push from somewhere but I don't know where I coud find

this energy to take the decition. I don't feel happy about this....

 

The yoga master who wrote the book I read said : "If you feel sad the first days

just keep trying and suddenly you'll have all benefits from yoga practice".....

 

I'd like to practice some kind of yoga....Is kundalini a good yoga to start than

Hatta ?

Please give me some advice....

 

Thank you very much.

P.D: Which is the meaning of SaT Nam ?

YOU SEEM TO HAVE AN INTERESTING DILEMMA. FIRSTLY, I THINK A QUALIFIED

INSTRUCTOR IS A MUST. A MASTER; IN THE TRUEST SENSE OF THE WORD. SECOND IF

YOU DO A LITTLE AT A TIME WITH A BOOK EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GAIN FAMILIARITY

AND NOTICE THE BENEFITS. A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS. TRY NOT TO BE SO

GOAL ORIENTED. AS I UNDERSTAND IT KUNDALINI YOGA IS AN ANCIENT AND MORE

IMPORTANTLY A RESPECTED SCIENCE. BE AWARE THOUGH, THAT IT IS A MATTER OF

INDIVIDUALITY. DIFFERENT YOGAS FOR DIFFERENT PEOPLE. IT IS A MATTER ALSO OF

YOUR PERSONAL COMMITMENT WITH GOD. IF YOU PRAY FOR HIS HELP TO START LIVING A

HAPPIER, HEALTHIER AND WHOLE LIFE HE WILL RESPOND. HOWEVER, IT TAKES

AWARENESS TO UNDERSTAND THE ANSWER. EVERYONE IS NOT READY FOR SPIRITUALITY

THAT MAKES SUCH A DECLARATION. WE OFTEN LOOK TO THE WRONG PLACE; TAKE

SELF-RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LIFE BY DOING WHAT YOU CAN ON YOUR OWN AND PRAY

FOR A MASTERS GUIDANCE. REMEMBER THOUGH; THERE ARE MANY LEVELS OF MASTERY AND

THE TEACHER YOU ENCOUNTER WILL CORRESPOND TO YOUR OWN CAPACITY. WHAT MADE YOU

GAIN INTEREST IN YOGA? EXAMINE YOUR MOTIVES. TRUE SPIRITUALITY IS TO COMMUNE

WITH GOD. IT IS KNOWONES PLACE BUT HE TO WRITE HIS DESTINY UPON YOU; EMPTY

OUT AND LET HIS LIGHT FILL YOU. THAT IS MY ADVICE. WE ARE ALL SICK ,HOW CAN

WE THEN PRESCRIBE FOR OUR AILMENTS ; SEEK A DOCTOR.................. A

MASTER. DON'T LOSE FAITH; DO AS THY SOUL DICTATES TO THEE AND THE END SHALL

ALWAYS BE MADE RIGHT. BY THE WAY SAT NAAM IS THE HIGHEST FREQUENCY OF

YOURSELF BUT FAR BETTER THAN DEFINITION IS YOUR EXPERIENCING IT.MAN KNOWS NOT

BY BEING TOLD.

 

 

SAT NAAM!

Sat Nam Marcos!

 

"Sat Nam" is the most basic mantra of KY (kundalini yoga), and simply

means "truth is my identity". We often use it as a replacement for

both hello and goodbye (when you say it someone else, "truth is your

identity").

A good way to begin is to simply practice each day at any time that

works for you. The early morning hours are certainly the best, but

if that doesn't work for you, don't worry about it. The goal is to

practice something - even just a little bit - every day. You can

always move to an early morning practice later (I didn't begin an

early morning practice for years).

 

> I feel like a need some push from somewhere but I don't know where

 

It is very helpful to find a class to attend once a week. You will

find the energy level of a class very beneficial, and a teacher can

help you with techniques and positions that can be difficult to

figure out on your own.

 

If you can't find a class, you might consider getting some videos to

work with - again, it will be easier to pick up some of the practices

this way.

 

> The yoga master who wrote the book I read said : "If you feel sad

 

Yoga, or any spiritual practice, can cause a lot of emotional turmoil

when you first start practicing, as you begin to work through things

that have kept you stuck. Persistence really pays off - but it is

important not to try to push yourself too quickly, or you will make

it more difficult to continue - for example, because you make

yourself sore from overdoing the stretching, or because the emotional

changes seem too overwhelming.

 

Just be patient with yourself. Put yourself in the role of the

teacher (you ARE the teacher), and be as patient and loving with

yourself as you would be teaching something to your child. In this

case, your inner child :)

 

> I'd like to practice some kind of yoga....Is kundalini a good yoga

to start than Hatta ?

 

I think so! I practiced hatha on and off for more than a dozen

years, and never got much out of it. From my very first class in KY

I felt it was doing much more for me than hatha ever did, and it

seemed very easy and natural to begin a regular daily practice.

 

Congratulations on taking some positive steps to make your life

happier. I wish you much joy and success as you progress on your

spiritual path.

 

Love & blessings,

Sadhant Singh

As a sedentary person (who fights it everyday) I know how hard it is to get up

and do ANYTHING, so I sympathize with you. I can't recommend one type of yoga

over another, I'm just not that knowledgable. I can make the recommendation

that you might want to consider changing the time that you

practice. Instead of morning, try afternoon or evening. Yes, morning is

probably one of the best times to practice, but if you just can't seem to get

out of bed to do it than you should move to a time when you can. Later, when

you have begun to feel some of the benefits of yoga you can try

moving your practice again to mornings.

 

At any rate, good luck to you in your attempt to create a new life.

The way I started yoga was once a week I went to class and received

instruction for six weeks. I then bought some Living Art tapes (no

offense to other publishers, please) and started with the simple 20

minute video tape named "A.M." I didn't try another tape for a couple

months when I felt I was ready to move on the another level. They have

various tapes but some would scare a person away from starting because

they have very advanced movements. Make sure the tape has "for

beginners" on the cover.

 

Another is feeding your cells and recouping the damaged ones with

enzymes. I take a product with super blue green algae because it

literally makes my body feel alive again. Now that I have experienced

this, I will always take this as a food needed. The enzymes may help

you feel lighter and ready to bend, stretch, etc. and will help to

eliminate the "bad" bacteria we hold in our digestive tract.

 

Good Luck Marcos.
