Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I am a grown child of multiple abuses who is trying to sort things out still. I have been reading your posts for several months and have been dealing with terrible headaches, migrainesm, 2 herniated disks and a tailbone injury. I am afraid to start yoga, in fact fear and anxiety plays a large role in my life to this day, it always has. I have changed my diet to whole foods and eliminated many medications and doctors because they did not work anyway. They just added many layers of useless grey over my problems. I am currently seeing a craniosacral therapist, whom has helped me a lot. I want to begin KY, but I find it difficult. I can feel this negative energy almost exposed ready and waiting to be disgarded and I need help. Does anyone know a very safe and warm place in Northern VIrginia, McLean or Arlington preferably where I can begin going? It is hard to choose from the yellow pages- i would rather heard from my online community. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Blessings, I cannot offer advice on a teacher but I can tell you that KY will help you in dealing with the abuses. I have only been practicing for a few years but it has helped me deal with things that 20 years of everything else hasn't touched. I understand fear and anxiety especially when trying new things. KY is a gentle place to begin and I encourage you to go. TracyKundaliniyoga, "bluestate_dem" <bluestate_dem> wrote: > > I am a grown child of multiple abuses who is trying to sort things > out still.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Sat Nam: There is a large community in Herndon, VA if you are anywhere near that. The changes you have already made seem to be in a positive direction. Why not continue that by establishing a yoga and meditation practice? Talk honestly and openly with the teacher. You might look up Shakta Kaur Khalsa, a very compassionate lady who has written a number of books on kundalini yoga.

Sounds like Virginia has got more than her fair share of good Kundalini Yoga teachers! You are obviously in a good place to expand your life now. You may not fully realise it but your involvement in Kundalini Yoga even so far is bringing you out of the darkness. So try and seek out a teacher because he or she will help you to keep going. Chanting one of the mantras or playing any of the beautiful CD's available fron Yoga Tech will really help you to heal too, Love Guru Sahai, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Dear One, You are in my thoughts and my heart goes out to you. These three books have been invaluable to me in my years long, in-depth healing: You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, teaches self-love and gives the metaphysical cause with affirmations for a whole long list of ailments; Five Steps to Emotional Healing, Gloria ARenson, a simple way to self heal the body-mind by tapping on the meridian system; and Mind Cure by Julia Ross, which has a questionnaire at the beginning to help you assess which body system you may want to address with mostly inexpensive over-the-counter amino acid (they make up protein) supplements. I am healing multipe childhood abuse issues, headaches, migraines, anxiety, depression, lack of focus. Right now, the Alexander Technique is helping me a lot. Remember perhaps, the great Buddha's teaching that nothing is permanent. And great strength can be gleaned from the experiences of overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. In closing, a quote and a poem: "In every human, is a heaven, whole and unbroken." - Paracelus, 15th Century physician Love yourself for no one can be closer or share more time with you be patient and kind to yourself value your attributes appreciate your gifts Let go of the past retaining only its wisdom remain aware for your are now new - Corita Blessed Be, Soaring Eagle with Light and Rainbows from Santa Barbara > > > > > > > Read only the mail you want - Mail SpamGuard.
