Guest guest Posted January 15, 2003 Report Share Posted January 15, 2003 Dear Dharama, Thank you for your insight, it made a lot of sense to me. The reason I got into Yoga in the first place was because of panic attacks that developed after my younger brother died. After years of looking outside of myself for answers, I got down on the mat and went inside. I think I became afraid of life and death at the same time. My brother had spent most of his life stressed and angry at abuse he had suffered from our family, and ended up having a massive heart attack at 33yrs old. We were only 1 yr apart and I spent years wondering if the same thing would happen to me. And so in turn I was worried about dying which stopped me living my best life. Slowly but surely Im coming back into my body through Yoga especially Kundalini. And instead of numbing feelings with medication such as Paxil and Prozac Yoga has allowed me to have these feelings and let it be okay. I am also English and so for years was been taught that feelings are weakness. It felt good to know that judging yourselves in the morning can be normal, that in itself made me feel better and I can intently set my day up better for myself with Sadhana. Knowing this has stopped me from feeling guilty about taking the time to do it.The Sa ta na ma med is also great for anyone who feels unworthiness. I only just realised last year as I was taking my teacher training that those tapes were around in my head and sabotaging my life. The Sat ta na ma med has reminded me of a time when I was very young when I felt innocent and worthy.I would reccomend it for anyone who has been abused in any way. Thank you once again Dharam Singh Anne Marie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
