A deep rooted problem!

[Guest guest]

Preeti,

Hello friend, don't be so hard on yourself. Identifying the problem is

one of the first BIG steps. You say that you know what it is. If you know

what it is, then you can clear it out of the way. Don't worry.

 

We all lack self discipline sometimes (I do in such an awful way right now! I

am 30 lb. overweight and I procrastinated every single little thing this

whole week!)

I haven't been able to completely rid myself of these ailments yet-but I have

been a lot easier on myself about them. Since I have stopped beating myself

up everyday for what IM 'not' doing- I now have more time to change what I do

have time to do.

 

IT has been a tetter-totter type thing. I had to let up on one end (the "bash

myself up with dead-end obstacles all the time" end) to even get a glimpse of

the other end that was being neglected by me (the "loving myself and things

will just flow" end.) For me this brought to my attention the now realised

small 'Synchronicities' that I have. They are much more wonderful than the

very sad 'barely cutting it' every time with everything I use to do feeling.

Synchronicities for me are like little miracles everyday that remind me that

I am on my right track.

 

We all back slide a little at one time or another. I am learning to try and

stay centered after I back slide by not wasting more of my time and energy

dwelling on it. Now IM trying to just pick up each time I realize IM falling

back and restart the move. Soon hopefully it will be a perpetual motion that

I don't have to keep restarting. I look forward to that feeling ...you can

too.

 

We are all in this together-you are certainly not by yourself. You do not

have to be embarrassed of who you are or what you are going through. We are

all made in the same image of God. There is no need for jealousy of others or

embarrassment of self. Those feelings are all derivatives of fear. There is

nothing to fear about yourself or God.

You are an instrument of complete love.

In our perfect form there is no room for anything but unconditional love for

everybody and every single little tiny thing. The more love you bring in

through your heart Chakra the less room there is for anything elss. I love

you.

Love and Light to you.

Hello,

I just wanted to share my experiences with ky and my

feelings with some one.

fist i want to thank everyone for their cooperation

and understanding.this site has tremendous amount of

information and i am sure it's going to be of great

help to me.

 

after trying meditation, tuning in and some exercises,

i have finally started my spinal exercises. I am not

aiming for 40 days because i know i will be

irregular..so right now i am simply trying to be more

regular than ususal.

 

I have a problem which i have" lived with " for many

years..i cannot concentrate/ "involve " myself

completely in anything.there is a constant chatter

going on in my mind and i am always preoccupied with

thoughts.and when i do try to concentrate it stays for

a few seconds and then i drift again.i think this is

what the ky lesson refers to -- "being here now".

suggestions are welcome and desired.....

 

This one is a long and vague explanation , but plesae

bear with me...

I am "suffering" from a mental(emotional?) condition

since as long as i can remember.But when i was young i

din't know what it is.As an adolescent I came to know

about it( i don't knbow how).i have suffered in life

in man ways because of it and i believe that all the

undesirable things (like lack of concentration, slack

in self discipline) and undesirable events in my life

have happened because of this mental condition of

mine.

I have been trying extremely hard to to get rid of it

since approximately 7 tp 8 years, the more conscious

efforts being in the last 4 to 5 years.and i haven't

been successful....this problem is like a

parasite...it is eating me from within....but i still

i cannot stop myself from acting under it's influence

becasue it tempts me in to it...and i always end up

giving in! i hate my self or this lack of self control

and discipline.....i've been trying to get risd of it

for an awfully long time, but with negligible

progress.it's very frustrating..I cannot control

myself..whatever I do. As you might have guessed i am

too embarraesd to reveal the problem's name...it ink

people wpould find it ridiculous or even detestable..(

i know all this soundslike a riddle!).

 

every time i decide that i am not going to let this

overcome me, but i give in after some time...i give

up...I try again...only to fail.I have lost confidence

in myself. And now i am very pessimistic to try again

becasue i know i will fail again..sooner or later...I

want to change myself, my thoghts, the way i live...i

want toi change it desperately.....and i am unable to.

I have ideas about howi would want to lead a peaceful,

dedicated to work life...free of jealousy and greed.

As a happy person. A life where things are pure and

beautiful....But i realize that i only feel this for

some time and then in my daily life i forget it..maybe

becasue the path to that level/ place is very tough

and it's too far fetched for me....I am very anxiuos

and feel very helpless...Tired of trying , I am

thirsty for any quick fix solutions( i know there

aren't any!!!)

I am not a totally unhappy person......but unhappy in

many ways....any suggestions are most welcome..As you

can see i need help here..and big time!I want to end

this " endless " cycle...

I think there is an imbalance in my manipura

chakra...this is just a guess.

 

Eagerly awaiting anyone's and everyone's replies.....

Dear Preeti

I can relate to your struggle and empathize...as you

know there is no quick fix, but I have a few

suggestions which I feel have helped me and my 4

children (who also struggle with this problem

manifesting in different ways) that I thought I would

share with you.

It's like the lens on the camera needs focusing

Ky is a tremendous help to me ......also trying to

make changes with baby steps.. waking up each day and

creating a schedule.....I never thought I would use

this word because I am and always have been a free

spirit and I have always rejected planning. What I

found by trying to organizing my day (even the simple

things) that I actually feel more secure,

accomplished, and able to be more free.

I'm not sure if this makes sense.....but you need to

find what works for you and practice positive

affirmations instead of negativity.....also.. this

does not mean that you have a problem as much as you

have a different way to see the world and are probably

very bright with many thoughts and ideas.

the challenge is in directing those thoughts and

finding some inner peace and loving sense of self.

Sat Nam, Anne

Though I don't really have any practical Ky suggestions, Preeti, I would

like to add to this by saying that regardless of what you may think, you

are practicing as well as everybody else. One of the beautiful things about

yoga practice is that there is no perfection or imperfection in it. Each

one of us is right where we are and each one of us can always go further.

Know that you are blessed as well as a blessing just by virtue of having

the desire to practice. Accept who and where you are and the next step on

your path will simply appear. And remember that beating yourself up is

actually part of the cycle and part of what perpetuates it. Once something

is done, it is done, and in the past. Let go, and know that in this moment

there is only perfection because in this moment things cannot be any other

than they are... and YOU are a part of that perfection!

 

Sat Nam,

Another Ann

Hi Preeti,

 

I would just like to add one small thing to all the great advice you have

already been offered. I would suggest doing stretch pose every morning

before you get out of bed. It just takes three minutes . It may take

you months to be able to build up to three minutes straight, but I

promise this one small commintment will repay you a thousandfold. It

will strenghten your will and make you feel so much stronger in yourself.

I wish someone had suggested it to me when I began KY - I would have

progressed much more quickly if I had known about it. Three mins is

much easier to keep going with than a whole practice, and you will find

yourself naturally gravitating towards more as you master it.

 

Love and blessings,

Avtar K.

Dear Preeti,

 

Another approach is to go into it and find out what it wants to teach you.

Trying to get rid of something usually doesn't work. But embrassing it and

then finding its highest expression opens up another level of power.
