Guest guest Posted October 2, 2002 Report Share Posted October 2, 2002 Hello all, After doing the 4/4 breath exercise i started to do the smiling buddah or christ kriya when i was suddenly interupted by my dad even though i had a sign in front of my door that said "DO NOT DISTURB" with 4 minutes left and he knows thats when i do my yoga but he kicked it out of the way and started ordering me around to do a simple task to turn off the light downstairs and startin going on about it then ordered me to go to bed right now. I was VERY angry and overcome with it and was very mad at my dad. I went downstairs and let it out, this has happend to me before after doing the 4/4 breath but never that much. Could this be related to my karma? I am very confused as to why i was so angry, could someone please attempt to explain?

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Dear one, You seem so committed to your yoga. That is great. I started when I was 17. I don't recall your age if you mentioned it It is quite frustrating when someone disturds any activity when told not to. It is even worst when it is yoga because you are creating a sensitive space for yourself and it is an activity that is most important in your life and well being. I heard that the 3 things that should not be disturbed is sex, sleeping and when someone is eating.I think they forgot yoga on the list. My husband flips if any body goes in the meditation room if he is doing his 2 hours of Satkriya. Us yogis are sacred beings who are tuned into higher frequencies so reactions can be powerful. There are great stories in the Bhagavat Gita about great yogis like Lord Shiva being disturded and the insensitive unfortunate human getting the lethal curse put onto them! How dare you unworthy mortal! In the epic tales of the ancient India, great gods, swamis and yogis have left a history of the wrath of the great meditators. There is an entire comic book industry on them in the Indian stores.I love reading them.However it is important to watch your words when you do kundalini yoga because we yogis start developing Vach siddhi or the power that whatever you say happens.Ouch! One must command respect from everyone in our lives and I don't know your history with your dad.Has he always been this way or is he bothered by the yoga.Yogis are challenged all the time for we are moving into a spiritual realm far greater than most. You and your practice will be challenged mostly and painfully by your loved ones. Talk to your dad respectfully about it when it is convenient to you both and work it out. He is probably scared you are doing something weird..He must love you so much. In reference to the breath it might be bringing up anger that was not on the surface and releasing it.. so be careful.The breath work is amazing and you should continue doing it. Lots of water,Sitali pranayama and dog breath helps with anger.We all have family karma and this can be painful. Keep your heart open to them and see what happens.If that does not work find a time when he is not around to do your yoga and pray to God to create a space for you as yogi and as a child of God.Pray moves mountains Keep up s.i.r.khalsa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Hello David, We are given so many beautiful opportunities to become the best we can be: Sat Nam. Realize that, Utilize that, and until you do - you will always be that anger. It/he will continue to disturb you until you do something different - something different - something different. Take a deep breath as you feel the anger arise (Before you react) and ask yourself the question: what can I learn from this - does this anger serve a function, or am I just becoming the anger over and over and over? You are not anger - You are so much more! As far as your fathers fear of your Spiritual practice: We can not control others - only ourself s in becoming the best we can be. Humbly, Bhagavati David Weaver wrote: Hello all, After doing the 4/4 breath exercise i started to do the smiling buddah or christ kriya when i was suddenly interupted by my dad even though i had a sign in front of my door that said "DO NOT DISTURB" with 4 minutes left and he knows thats when i do my yoga but he kicked it out of the way and started ordering me around to do a simple task to turn off the light downstairs and startin going on about it then ordered me to go to bed right now.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Anger is a natural response to being violated. To deny it is going to screw up your wiring. Go out in a field and through rocks or scream. Keep up your practice. It's a process. If your father is even somewhat reasonable, try talking to him. Also, assess your constitution in terms of Ayurveda. Are you Pitta? Gotta run, Dharam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Your husband really does 2 hours of Sat Kriya every day, or every now and then? Before all the beginners blow up their insides trying to emulate your beloved perhaps you could talk a little about how that evolved and how he manages it and what the effects have been. And he is right!!!!There is nothing worse than being disturbed while you're doing Sat Kriya. One of the problems with being disturbed, doing any kundalini yoga and meditation, is that it is a shock to the system unless done very gracefully. That shock knocks your navel point and your aura and presto, you got one pissed yogi because you've got one energetically disturbed yogi. Seva Simran P.S. Parents, and children and spouses if that applies, will often get annoyed, insecure and even obnoxious when they see you doing yoga because they don't undersrtand what is going on and how to relate to it. Their ego gets offended and you get what you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Hi David and friends, SAT NAM! As someone who has been dealing with a great deal of ahger lately I can very much relate. While I have found positive uses for my anger - it still sux when you're in the midddle of it all. The info the others have given will migate some of the pain, but you just have to go through it. AS someone said, you can only be responsible for your behavior. That's true. That means you can make the first move in negotiating with your Dad about this Just act with honor, truth and beauty my friend - in other words, follow your heart. SAT NAM, LEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very disturbed by a "presence" that I felt was trying to communicate with me and I "just wasn't getting the message." I experienced a great deal of inner turmoil. She said "don't lower yourself to the level of the presence. Rise above it and deal with it on a higher level, not an earthly level". Suddenly my being upset made so much more sense! Actually, she gave me permission, or I gave myself permission to "let go of the feelings" knowing I couldn't intellectualize it into an answer. Hope this helps.....
