Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Monika, Yes!!! Yes!!! What I do is try to live by example. I let my husband voice his opions without any replys -usually- and I live the way I know is right. Over the years he has become "tollerant" of my beliefs and even respectfull at times. He never tries to stop me from doing my KY and he even loves some of the CDs that I have purchased over the years. I guess that I am lucky in that respect. In the beginning, all was not so smooth. He seemed to call me from work at the exact time that I was doing KY and since he worked out of town, I felt compeled to answer. After a few times of this and me telling him that I do yoga at "this" time, he started calling later. Sure there are rough times, especially when you first take a "passive" stand, but if there is love, there is respect and respect should out weigh the differences. As they say, opposites attract and in the case of spiritual knowledge, or lack there of, this is more pronounced. Be true to yourself first. If you love and respect each other, he will come along for the ride. Maybe he won't ever know what you know, but he will respect you for standing firm on what you "know" is right.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Sat Nam, Over the years as you say he has changed. Most likely he has changed because you have changed. A person cannot be changed by mere words or finger wagging. They can only be changed by our example. You, as his wife influence him strongly simply by being in his aura each and every day. The stronger you are, the more he is attracted and influenced. His openess to the music may be a first step towards your more "enlightened" view. Such music cannot but help to melt even the hardest heart. (It doesn't sound as though he has such a heart, by the way.) Who knows, he may be chanting quietly or inwardly,and that will surely change him. I guess you are with him for a reason and similarly he with you. You are working out karmas or past lives together for whatever reason. Kundalini Yoga gives us the strength and grace to go through these things with the greatest amount of comfort and speed. Enjoy the journey, you and he might be surprised by the destination. Peace. Kundaliniyoga, "Mary Payton" <mapayton5942@e... > wrote: > > > Monika, > > Yes!!! Yes!!!
