Sat nam Matt,

Welcome!

Edward is a writer in my KY class who took it upon himself with our

teacher Ingrid's help to put together an article consisting of interviews

with people as to what brought them to ky, what keeps them coming, and how ky

has affected their lives. (and ky has affected many of the poeple that Edward

talked with very deeply and profoundly). It helps that our teacher works

with us on very deep levels and has an amazing level of committment to her

practice and to her students. <A HREF="http://www.pointoflight.com/">Welcome to

Point of Light Online</A> It is being

published in the upcoming issue of Point of Light magazine - the link is

above- but the article won't appear till the next issue comes out (probably

in August- the fall issue).

I hope that you can find a good teacher because there is a depth of

experience available and guidance that is very valuable. And also community.

It can be like another dear family.

This list is another incredible resource. I totally agree with

Zizette,

The focus, pacing and many of the modalities of hatha and ky feel

quite differnet to me. It took a lot of adjusting for me, and I went thru a

lot of resistance (in the beginning hatha felt "right" and for example the

fast pace of repititions say, of camel ride, felt "wrong".) But it feels so

good now in my body. The mantras and mudras and the locks which are so

integral in ky were kind of peripheral in Hatha, in my experience. And

mainly, using sets or kriyas for specific purposes, such as opening to

abundance in our life, or getting rid of anger and toxins and opening the

heart more - this focus of ky, bringing all of yourself, your voice too, to

specific issues is different and to me, so valuable. Its great that you are

willing to explore what the scientific mind might not find to be credible, to

see for yourself and invite yourself to experience whats there for you.

Enjoy the ride, Sheri
