Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hello, My name is Shelley. I am new to the group. I just wanted to introduce myself. I know very little of Kundalini yoga, and wish to practice it. I am currently a smoker of 10 years. I found the past few days very interesting, hearing how many people are ex-smokers with the help of kundalini. That is great. I hope to achieve this very soon. I cannot stand smoking anymore. It's those crazy nicotine fits that I am weak to. At any rate, I am starting to meditate, practice Reiki, and I am searching for a kundalini yoga teather right now. Is there anyone in this group from the Cleveland, Ohio area? Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi Shelley, I think it's great that you've realized the truth about smoking, it is one of those slow suicides. I was a smoker and once I awakened my Kundalini my lifestyle has changed naturally. My kundalini now is taking me through cleansing state (from negativity and ignorance of my health). I just wanted to encourage you to teach yourself if you dont find a teacher, the kundalini training online www.kundaliniyoga.org is very helpful. From my point of view and experience, all the training you really need is LOVE, love to you, maria. --- savahnnauh wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Shelley. I am new to the group.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I'm there with you on the verge of quitting. In Ravi Singh's video "Naval Power", he says, "Strengthening the naval will give you the ability to say no to yourself." Keep up the faith.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 I quit smoking when I moved into my first 3HO Ashram 30 years ago. The desire to smoke left me entirely and I never looked back.

I cannot stand smoking anymore. It's those crazy nicotine fits that I am weak to. Shelley Sat Nam exsmoker! I had smoked for 36 years :-( . I found it nearly impossible to quit. I had tried many times and many ways. What finally worked for me was an understanding of my addiction. I hope I can effectively explain this. I had to understand that I really wanted to stop smoking. However, the other part of me just wanted to be satisfied with the nicotine. This included the physical, emotional, and mental (psyhe). So what I was instructed to do when the urge to smoke came about was to acknowledge that I did not want to smoke but "it" did. I would say to my self or aloud: "I never smoke and I will never change my mind!". Once I could understand this dichotomy, I was able to feel a greater sense of control; it was easier to learn to love myself and lose the guilt. In a way one could say this is part of Sat Nam.Well, maybe:-)). I got this from a book titled 'Rational Recovery' by Jack Trimpey. I hope this helps. It worked for me. > > > "OUR DESTINY IS TO BE HAPPY" > - Yogi Bhajan > > You can UNSUBSCRIBE from this list at the Groups Member Center (My Groups), or send mail to > Kundaliniyoga > NO UNSUBSCRIBE REQUESTS TO THE LIST PLEASE! > WEB SITE: kundalini yoga > > KUNDALINI YOGA ON-LINE TRAINING.
