Introduction & commitment

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam everybody.

 

I have already joined this list a little while ago and I did post one

or two messages, but I have not introduced myself properly yet.

 

I am Sat Deva S., twenty-one years old, and I started a regular

practice of KY about eleven months ago. I "accidently" walked in on a

KY class given by a local teacher. The state I was in at the time was

not a very healthy (nor happy) one; I was severly addicted to

nicotine, a regular drinker and had a lifestyle that could generally

be labelled as one of total escapism. This teacher totally touched my

heart. The softness, the compassion she radiated but also the

incredible power, almost superhuman, instantly made me remember where

it is we come from, what we really are.

 

Over the course of about three months I was able without too much

troubles to shed a lot of these extremely destructive habits, just by

sttending this weekly ninety-minute yoga class. The chanting, the

breathing and the combination of extreme posturing endurance and

relaxation proved to be a perfect combination to re-establish the

contact with my spirit I had longed for all these years. (Only

looking for it in all the wrong places)

 

And now I find myself here, ablaze with fiery energy, my breath

deeper than ever and the feeling of total connection with and

unconditional love for all life stronger than before. It is really

amazing that by the grace of the Guru, I am able to walk this path in

this lifetime and share it with others.

 

Seven months ago, I started the Aquarian Teacher course, and this has

created so many openings and possibilities to heal and grow. It is

beyond words what is at work here. I am currently teaching one

morning class and will form september on probably teach two more

classes.

 

I get a lot of inspiration from this list as well as the yogatech

website for teaching my classes (+"Transitions..." is a great book

also).

 

Enough about that, I could go on for days. But what I really wanted

to share with you is that, as I just came back from the European 3HO

Yogafestival in Fondjouan, the theme of which this year was "A cool

mind and a warm heart", we just started a 40 day sadhana with

the "heart opener" set from "Transitions...". I was already familiar

with the amazing effect of this set, so we (the Amsterdam sadhana

sanghat) decided to practice this one for forty-days.

This is my commitment. I will kee you posted on developements and as

always, am looking forward to hearing about your incredible

experiences with this beautiful science and art.

 

Yours in the Love that is the Light of Life,
