Guest guest Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Sat Nam I read about the Kriya for Inner Anger and downloaded all that I could find. However, the print was very small, and my partner had to modify it to make it readable. When he did, I tried it, but find the need to time things awkward to manage. However, the exercise keeping the feet 6 inches off the floor is excrutiating, although hugely beneficial, and even though I do yoga for about an hour every morning, I can only just manage 2 minutes, not the full 3½ minutes including breath of fire. I found myself doing almost a primal scream to manage the 2 minutes. As I sing, my singing teacher warned me to be careful of my voice, and I changed it to a toned Ahhh, which is the sound of manifestation, and quite appropriate as inner anger will surely inhibit our ability to create? I would say that I don't really do many of the other exercises. I've been catching up with loads of jobs that need doing, have been able to speak my thoughts and feelings without an argument, and generally my self-esteem is growing. As I work as a hypnotherapist, I would say that many people have inner anger which they don't acknowledge fully or address it, and know that their lives are a bit unfulfilled as a result. Often it relates to having to accept what adults dish out to us in our lives when we are too small to defend ourselves. A realisation about my parents has surfaced as part of this releasing. I wonder if deep breathing will produce similar releasing, I feel sure it will help me with singing, as I often don't manage to sustain my breath, but perhaps this is because of the inner anger. I love yoga, it keeps me centered. Namaste - what does this mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Sat Nam VJM, Regarding this very direct and powerful kriya ( http://www.sahej.com/inner_anger-one.html ). "Inner anger is the basis of inferiority and superiority complexes, manipulation and lying, all skin diseases, misbe-havior, wrong calculation, destruction of business success, and destruction of relationships. Inner anger blocks you from having a relationship with yourself. This set works on the body system to release us from our inner anger" My thoughts below the exercise keeping the feet 6 inches off the floor is excrutiating, although hugely beneficial, and even though I do yoga for about an hour every morning, I can only just manage 2 minutes, not the full 3½ minutes including breath of fire. I found myself doing almost a primal scream to manage the 2 minutes. As I sing, my singing teacher warned me to be careful of my voice, and I changed it to a toned Ahhh, which is the sound of manifestation, and quite appropriate as inner anger will surely inhibit our ability to create? I would say that I don't really do many of the other exercises. I enjoyed reading of your very honest account of your experience with this series. Thank you. I was able to view the video of Yogi Bhajan teaching this Kriya many years ago. It was very interesting that as the group is doing this first part of the Kriya (feet 6 inches up), Yogiji is saying, and this is from memory, "ahh, you're feeling angry". He is witnessing for the group to bring awareness to the process. Getting in touch with the "anger" in our system, getting in touch with our potential for rage which is buried under all kinds of stuff is what this exercise is designed to do. It is masterful....simply. When we get in touch with it, it loses it's power to destroy us. If it remains buried, we are afraid of it and it's potential for destructiveness so we get neurotic about it and exhibit the behavior outlined in the introduction of this Kriya (quoted in the above paragraph). By the way this behavior is so rampant, it is considered normal and average. "Hell is the impossiblity of reason". As far as nearly screaming in a primal fashion, I am reminded of a conversation I had with Gurucharan Singh a long time ago. He said it is okay to stop and process and then continue. Certainly do not "tough it out" if your being is begging you to do otherwise, and certainly stop if you are risking injury. There is a balance, though. You can continue as long as you can do so gracefully. Keeping your focus and your breath together are important. Jnana yoga (Yoga of Knowledge) is an aspect of Kundalini Yoga. We only get to have certain levels of experience by pushing through the discomfort. Adjust your effort so that you can finish the entire Kriya to get the proper results. I've been catching up with loads of jobs that need doing, have been able to speak my thoughts and feelings without an argument, and generally my self-esteem is growing. As I work as a hypnotherapist, I would say that many people have inner anger which they don't acknowledge fully or address it, and know that their lives are a bit unfulfilled as a result. Often it relates to having to accept what adults dish out to us in our lives when we are too small to defend ourselves. A realisation about my parents has surfaced as part of this releasing. What many of our parents didn't do is affirm our sovereignty (get our back!) and God nature in a world that is more often than not pretty irrational, depending on your perspective. This process around the kriya breaks open the for us to get back to our sweet innocence. After doing 96 days of this Kriya I have some definate thoughts and impressions about it's effects. Again, thanks for you input. Sat Nam, Dharam Singh P.S. Make sure to do a meditation afterward. In the video, the class is instructed to do Celestial movement afterward. Celestial movement is done to Dharmic affirmative music. Basically, an experience of your body (deep psyche) as divine is what you want to integrate while your body system is still free. Padding is also very important for parts of this Kriya. I wonder if deep breathing will produce similar releasing, I feel sure it will help me with singing, as I often don't manage to sustain my breath, but perhaps this is because of the inner anger. I love yoga, it keeps me centered. Namaste - what does this mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
