Emotional release

[Guest guest]

Dear Hari Sant Singh,

 

I'm glad you brought up the topic.

 

I can only share my personal experience that this happens to me all the

time. I have only been taking classes for a little over a month. But, I

regularly cry at some point or another. I don't think it matters in terms of

the mantra or kriya. Sometimes, it's during the ending song.

 

I had a similar and more intense experience at White Tantric as well.

Sometimes, it's not only tears, it's also extreme physical pain. I used to

consider myself someone who had a strong tolerance for pain. Yet, this type

of pain (emotional?), I almost can't bare.

 

I had a wonderful class last Saturday morning. Then, right afterwards, I was

talking on the phone to a friend and found myself in the middle of strong

emotions I could barely control. I assumed that just coming from class had

something to do with it.

 

I've been taking the advice used at White Tantric and trying to just feel

the pain and work through it.

 

Any suggestions, sharing, advice is greatly appreciated,

 

Sat nam,

 

Karen

Tears are a manifestation of prana (or pran), life force energy. So the flow

of tears during a yoga or devotional practice is a sign of

hightened/enhanced/strengthened prana as a result of the work you are doing.

This is a wonderful thing, it strengthens the life force within and around

you.

 

OM SHANTI!

Dear Hari Sant Singh and Karen B,

 

I have been doing KY for a number of years now, and still have tears. It is

my belief that sometimes we are removing blocks and sometimes when we touch

the divine within, the God within and become one, for whatever reason we are

so touch that it moves us to cry or release tears. For me, I don't always

honor myself and deny myself. So when the tears come I let them fall and

remind myself of just how much I am loved and to love myself. And when the

tears become a smile we are in heaven and K has risen.

 

Blessing to all.

Sat Nam,

 

Thanks for your great explanation of tears Samantha.

 

This is called "good grief" :+)

Emotions release before the infinite. It's like

standing on the edge of a cliff and looking out into

all that space. What do you feel? I think it was

Camus who spoke of how at such times you feel a pull

on your gut - it's almost as if you want to leap off

into the space and be one with it. You become aware

of your relationship to the infinite - to what is much

bigger than you but what you are a part of, too.

 

I'm moved to tears by pieces of music, by moments in

movies that speak to my soul somehow, by great vistas,

and by the inner vistas that KY reveals. At Solstice

this past summer I observed silence for four days

which made the moments that I did make sound, i.e. the

chanting of mantras, very powerful. Every morning at

Sadhana I would chant through tears overcome by the

beauty of the gift of speech, by the beauty of the

mantra, the beauty of that gathering, of the sun

rising during "Wahe Guru Wahe Jio". I have also

experienced tears brought on by doing particular

krias.

 

I think that as human beings we have the opportunity

to exist on a subtle level where we are sensitive to

these inner and outer vistas. The mundane and the

routines of everyday life can dull these abilities to

see and to feel. Television definetly dulls them. KY

enhances them, and at times it can open up the

channels in such a way that emotions rise up to the

surface.

 

Sat Nam,
