Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Dear Crescentia, I am not sure if this is your name since you didn't sign the emails. Do you really want a new life? Are you doing 2 1/2 hours of KY and meditation everyday starting before the sun rises? Anyone who wishes a radical shift has to do something radical to change the energy. Yogi Bhajan gave us KY so we could make radical shifts. There are no quick fixes and cure alls down here in Earth School, but we have a chance if we align our energy with universal energy. Get a program you feel comfortable with and get started. Let us know so we can support you. This group is about supporting each other to actually DO KY. I joined 3ho in 1977. I couldn't believe the number of neurotic people. I thought that what Yogi Bhajan was teaching was so wonderful that all tlhe people who had it together would join. Wrong. The neurotic people who stayed and practiced are incredible human beings now. This stuff works. Many blessings, Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Yes, I'm trying and I certainly get up before sunrise. I'm not sleeping enough, not more than 5 hours a night. Last night I woke up in a panic, guess I am one of those neurotic people! The holidays stress me out. I'm always reading and learning. I'll be much more balanced when the new year comes in. Deanna, wishing you a very happy holiday with family and friends. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ * We all are born with the legacy of human pain.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 Sat Nam! The Amrit Vela morning sadhana is pretty new to me, I've been doing it for just a couple months now. Of course my best intention is to do it every single day, but I'm not quite there yet -- I'm close, though!! I thought I would get used to early mornings and less sleep by now, but instead I am realizing that I simply do need a certain amount of sleep and will sometimes have to sleep in/skip sadhana to get it. I work 40+ hours a week, and if I do morning sadhana 6 days in a row, by the 7th day I literally can't get out of bed to save my life. I just need to catch up on my sleep and then doing that makes me very lethargic and grumpy. I hope that my system can find some regulation and routine with it all. I do go to bed at an early hour fairly consistently. wah yantee ranjit _______________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Dear Deanna, > Yes, I'm trying and I certainly get up before sunrise. Fabulous. > I'm not sleeping enough, not more than 5 hours a night. Then you will have to change your schedule around. Sleep is very important. Sometimes sadhana can replace some of the sleep, especially the early morning dream time. Experiment til you find the best solution for you. > Last night I woke up in a panic, guess I am one of those neurotic people! Don't worry, you have lots of company -- everyone. > The holidays stress me out. Then change one or two things so that they can be more enjoyable or atleast less stressful. There are many ways you are totally at choice. Change those. When you realize and take advantage of being at choice you will feel better.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Thanks Gururattan Kaur! I think I thrive best with encouragement, it's hard to be self-motivated, you feel all alone. I'm glad I revealed me a bit, it's kind of scary to share some of yourself with strangers. I know one thing that bothers me is I feel needy of more good people in my life to share the yoga, the wholesome things I like to do. Right now I only have my Tipsoo for company most days I'm home here on the island. I've got to find a way to breath better, the asthma and sinuses are a big problem with me. I'll do my best from now on! I wanted my sister to be in my life, but she grew up in another state with our mother. I talked to her once, I sent pictures of my children, etc to bring her up to date, but then she never responded. She only lives two hours away by car, and she was abused as a child and now she has decided it's too dangerous to let anyone into her life. I also wanted to see my mother since she is in very bad shape physically. My sister has no family except our mother now. I wanted to bring her into my life, to get to know her, but it seems it's not going to happen. I have lost all my family except for my children and they are gone basically. Doris would be good for me and I would be good for her... I stopped trying after she didn't call back, even sent her my email addy. Why do I feel almost all the people in my life have abandoned me one way or another? The basic emotion that has been hurting me is loneliness, sadness, not feeling safe. It's awful to live like this for years. I'm a good person, I have grown better each year! LOL But what did I do to be punished like this? I want joy and friends to be close to. Is there a good man in my future? I don't like living alone. Thanks again for listening and I've found a new friend on the list, that makes me happy. Deanna on West Island a last thought, Please don't think I am a complainer, I know I am lucky in many ways, it's just that I still feel stuck and want to leave the past behind me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * We all are born with the legacy of human pain.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Sat Nam Deanna, Thank you for sharing all this with us. It shows that you are a real human being. Have you read Peace Lagoon ?? It can be a real help with the lonliness. Keep reaching out from your heart. Kindness has no defeat and caring has no end. Surround your sister with light and love. May the long time sun shine upon you forever. Sincerely yours Hari Sant Singh Give up your sense of mine and yours and become the dust of the feet of all.

I just need to catch up on > my sleep You do need to save your life and this means getting enough sleep. It is definitely not good to run on empty, especially for women. You use up your kidney energy and this creates problems as you get older. You can only pull on your kidney energy for so long without wearing out. and then doing that makes me very lethargic and grumpy. Maybe you could sleep only one hour longer on Sunday and Saturday and make sure you are awake before sunrise. (Easier in winter) Sleeping during sunrise (and sunset) is disturbing. Some people sleep after SAdhana. I can't do this. I would rather get up later and do a later Sadhana. If I go to sleep after Sadhana I feel like I need to do Sadhana and cold shower again. I hope that > my system can find some regulation and routine with it all. I do go to bed > at an early hour fairly consistently. Early to be consistently is the key. Easier said than done. You are doing great! Just relax and do your best. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
