Do your Sodarshan after Nabhi Kriya (or whatever yoga you are doing)

or do it much earlier in the evening.

You can try Ra Ma Da Sa before bed.

Live!

Doing a spiritual practice is just that, practice. Of course we can feel

good after our efforts but it is often months later after some life

altering event that we can "appreciate" what we have been doing.....that

the full fruition of our efforts is realized. You are doing the work and

making daily deposits but our concious mind and habitual self may need a

kick in the ass. Only through "living" your life will you be in the

position of getting a good ass-kicking. Take a risk, full in love, start

teaching perhaps (what does your numerology say about your PATH?).

What's happenin' in Brooklin (Maine)?

Other practices have been what un-did my denseness. When I do Sodarshan

it is at the end of my practice or as part of the Aquarian Meditation,

which is not to be confused with the Aquarian Sadhana (search Archives -

Your own experience is speaking to you in beautiful and non-verbal

terms. It would not be fair to you for me to define in words what this

posture is doing for you. A great deal of what is happening within you

is very specific to you're present state of being and you're personal

path. Some knowledge of your numerology (www.3HO.org) will reveal what

context, and also give you a common language for what you are working with but

even with that, only about 10% of the totality of our experience is conscious

and knowable. You then have the Knowable Unknown, and lastly the Unknowable

Unknown. So listen to yourself and trust the depth of your direct experience.

Archer first, then frogs, the 11 mins of layout and then 11-15 Wahe Guru

(with 8 stroke inhale)

Consider doing your practice before sunrise.

The daily 'darkness" will be lifted.

Hi here's the birthday info July 9th, 1973.- Keep me

seaching for a heart of gold, and I'm getting old... I

checked numerology strengthen aura and subtle bodies

were the recommendations. About the arm kriyas that

help Balancing Nervous and Immune Systems and

Conquering Pain, I don't mean for you to try to

quantify or explain my personal experience but rather

to tell my what the kriyas are working on. Could it be

my Arc Line for example or my 7th or 8th body? -Thank

you once again Dharam and Brad you guys are great!

Your perspectives and insights really inspire me to

continue the path of Kundalini, this exchange of

knowledge and encouragement is makes me excited

everytime I open my mail. Most importantly, I know I'm

not alone. -Sat Nam-Chris

Sat Nam,

 

I read your conversation and I think I see some similarities with my

healing process. In the spring I used to do Sodarshan Kriya before

sleeping and after that, I could have hours of being in the twilight

zone between sleep an being awake. It was explained to me as a

wonderful thing because this way much of the un/sub conscious items

could be processed. I could be sleepy however the next day...but it

was worth it.

 

>From my own experience I would say do not wait for your new identity.

By 'waiting' you are giving yourself the message that your are not

what you want to be. This will hold you back, you will manifest the

opposite from what you want. Get out of a waiting mode, if you are

in. Don't 'expect' anything. State you intentions, work and have

unconditional faith in that what is the best for you will happen.

Putting a new program in the old system did not work out for me - the

system itself needed to be renewed.

 

The most beautiful experience in my life whas my recent participation

to the European Summer solstice, including three days of white

tantric yoga. The group energy caused the breakthrough for me, opened

me in many ways.

 

All the best,

 

Rama Singh
