Guest guest Posted November 9, 2002 Report Share Posted November 9, 2002 Hello Dharam, Thank you for forwarding the kriya on inner anger. I did one set yesterday and one today. I have to tell you that this kriya may be the one that I need at the moment. Four years ago I had back surgery. I had to learn to walk again and there is not a day that goes by that I cannot think about not doing some type of exercise. I have to exercise daily to maintain my strength. This surgery is also what brought me to yoga and it has been the best thing for me. I had worked for the same company for 23 years. After my back surgery, they did not want me to return to work there. However, I don't think they had a choice in the matter. They placed me in a work area that I was not accustomed to, with a lot of people cussing, screaming and fighting. I immediately asked the company to transfer me to another area, as well as applying for every single job that I was capable of doing. Every job that I formally applied for, I was denied. I was told that I did not have the qualifications for that particular job. I was also told that the area that I was working in was where I would be staying(permanently)if I still wanted a job. In a period of one year, I applied for twenty some different jobs and was never once given the opportunity to prove myself and to get myself away from this horrible environment I was working in. Well, that is when I started to hold all my emotions inside and I did that for a year. I have never been the same. Eventually, I stayed home sick and the company would not let me return to work. This is the reason why I asked for the inner anger kriya. I am 48 years old and now a student. I guess I am kind of out of synch with people my age. I am doing OK with all this and I'm doing really well in college. College is where I took my first yoga classes. My instructor had us do a research paper on the different types of yoga. That's what brought me to this web site and kundalini yoga was the yoga that really interested me. I really enjoy reading this web site and all of you folks here are very compassionate. I look forward to reading the posts daily. You asked me about my birthdate. It's 02-18-1854. I guess by everything I had read on this board that I should know that I need to accept what has happened to me and that it's all about karma. I'm not saying that I completely understand it, but I am trying to accept it. In the process of all this, I no longer have any of the friends that I used to have. It seems that everyone wants me to return to the person that I was. However, I can't do that even if I tried my best. I am trying my best right now to do the best that I can with the situation right here before me and I feel that I am doing pretty well. Anyway, that is where I am coming from so I guess I did ask for the appropriate kriya.Thanks so much for your response. I really appreciate it.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Hi Gina, Do the Kriya every now and then, and do it really well. The second and third postures are real hard without strong abdominals. I can't imagine how it might feel having had back surgery. Do be very careful not to stress out the lower back. Make sure that the small of your back is flush to the floor. The moment you can no longer maintain the integrity of this posture, you must let go. Rest briefly, then you can try again. This is the part of the Kriya where your buttons are pushed and you are forced to face the anger that has been swallowed. It will really be in your face, at this point. It's when you raise both legs and begin pounding then you are then expressing it. The legs up in this position are working the psoas muscle and is relating to elimination and letting the toxicity go. I did this Kriya after having finally faced the intensity of my anger in a contained way. All through my years (31 at that time) my anger was usually terrifying to me. I'd express it but I couldn't maintain the relation or connection. It was anger than only knew how to destroy or leave. Having been able to be find a calm center within my anger/rage I could neutrally decide to check out the possibilities with doing more "anger work". Now I will do it when I feel like I am working against myself. When my subconscious is trying to derail me and will not take no for an answer. I don't see it so much as a tool for dealing with a frustration that I can put my finger on, but as some way to release myself from a very old pattern. There is a need to feel what is going on regarding your company. There are levels that will miss by doing this Kriya as the only outlet. Go check out your numbers and work with your 9th and your 2nd bodies on a more regular basis and chant a lot. Don't get stuck in negativity about that job scene. Also, you are numerologically predisposed to wanting to do more than one job, anyway. To find completion in ways more numerous that might be the case with a 23 year gig. Keep forward motion on that schooling idea. Diversify! Gotta go to sleep. Been a long day. Sat Nam, Dharam gladymarmalade wrote: > Hello Dharam, > > Four years ago I had back surgery.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Hey Avtar, Good to know you are meditating [your brains out], also. I'd really like to hear more of how your perceptions changed while you were/are doing this Kriya. In your time, no hurry.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Well Dharam, I had a good look at my shadow side doing this kryia. I come from a tradition where the shadow is thought of as evil, and therefore if one wants to be spiritual one tiries to pretend it isn't there. What a recipe for disaster. Anyway, I sure looked at my angry feelings over the last 90 days, and had to admit they are alive and well !!!! What it's made me do is examine WHY I get angry more deeply, and try to determine whether there is just cause, or just bruised ego. I'm finding it's a very good way to discover what really makes me tick, where my ego is, and where I need to make changes, and also where to accept the things I can't do anything about. I keep thinking about YB telling us to bring things to the highest place within us, and then drop them. I can see how that works with things that are over, but how do you do that with things that are ongoing ? That drive you nuts on a regular basis and you cannot change ? Any thoughts on this ?
