Sat Nam,

dear Betty,

 

yes, it is an interesting phenomena of our time: people HAVE everything but

all they are is lonely and bored.

 

To overcome this state of mind they (I'm not talking about you specifically

;-) start TAKING more things: drugs, pills, TV, food, chocolate, etc.

 

Just a thought: Why not start GIVING something ?! Or DOING something ?! You

could start taking dance lessons, join a choir, go to a yoga class or

enroll for a literature class at the local university. There you have all -

other people, something to do and lot's of things to GIVE (e.g. a smile, a

chat, a hand, an opinion, etc.).

 

So my advise would be pretty easy - whenever you search for the next

chocolate bar, look into a magazine and explore, which 'sweet things' life

has to offer today....

 

Sending blessings and light from Shanghai,

 

Adarsh S.

Thank you, Adarsh,

 

I have taken your advice and have enrolled in a 6-month Kundalini Teacher

Course, and I'm scared to death. One of the prerequisites to graduating is to

teach a public class. I have low self-esteem and am nervous speaking in front

of people. I have very little experience with practicing Kundalini, but I

believe this soon will change and I'm sure it will make a major transformation

in my life, much needed.

 

Thank you so much for your email.

 

Blessings,

Betty

Betty,

I hope you will share my experience when you teach class. I am

(thought I was) petrified of being the focus of attention for any

reason. When I taught my first class, as soon as I tuned in I was able

to let the teaching flow through me. There are times when I feel as if

I am merely the body and the 'teacher' is guiding my voice, my breath,

my movement. Be the light!

Joan, your words are very comforting and I will remember them, when I do take

class. I had to withdraw because I found I will have no job, no plan for

future, financially... for the now. and it just means I will do my practice with

the Nirvair Singh Khalsa DVDs in the home and wait until next year. Still.. I

REALLY appreciate your confidence in me... I was feeling very anxious. Such

loving people in the KY family.

Sat nam Betty,

 

Joan is a tremendous soul with great Capacity to Share Her Genuine

LOVE To Us ALL!

 

I too, have ALWAYS been afraid of public-speaking...school-days were a

hell to have to stand-up before class-room to recite a poem...BELIEVE

ME, I know How you feel! Mine became SO BAD that I became agorophobic

(afraid to go to my mail-box) & crippled by my self-imposed prison,

that I abused alcohol & drugs, eventually even hospitilized for Major

Depression & Anxiety!!!

 

With this Group, Understanding people such as Joan, yourself, our

Marvelous Team of Moderators, Brian & Deva, to name a few, who do

their GREAT GOOD WORK FOR FREE; along with Dharam, Gururattan Kaur

Khalsa, and the group of Souls with SUCH Divine Spiritual Wisdom: Yogi

Bhajan, AND KUNDALINI YOGA, MY Life has Changed 4-EVER!!!

 

I only just recently was DX'd by my Wonderful Therapist as Bi-Polar,

which is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of! I AM GLAD & Releived

there is FINALLY a Name for this Cyclic ups and downs roller-coaster!!!

 

Maybe some of you can suggest ways of Balancing All This, I believe my

meditation practice is a very powerfull and affirmative, self-control

& mind-consciousness expanding Process that HELPS So much, along with

my practice of KY, I AM (as the old Beatles' tune went, "Getting

Better All The Time!!!...)

 

I AM NOW REALLY Getting a Kick & Good Laugh AT Myself AT THIS PRECIOUS

GIFT of LIFE That God GAVE US ALL! I Still Closely Commune WITH GOD &

GURU, AND Guru Ram Dass, that I Feel Guru Ram Dass' Existence Through

And With ME. I AM the Silent Observer of this Comedy/Tragedy at times,

Of LIFE!!! Miraculous!!!

 

Please continue to work with whatever Helps and Guides YOU, and

All-Ways Daily Sadhana, with THE ADI MANTRA, THAT Connection To

Universal Consciousness, That WILL SEE YOU THROUGH ANYTHING!!!

 

The Adi Mantra ALONE IS SO POWERFUL!!! Make your Entire LIFE, Living

Yoga!(Stretching yogically when reaching for something in a shelf;

breath walks, and so on!)

 

LIGHT & MANY BLESSINGS!

wildwoman(given to me By The Divine DHARAM!)

Nirmal Kaur (part of the Meaning Of My Spiritual Name I Received From

Yogi Bhajan besides Purity, is FEARLESS!) YOU, and US ALL!

Betty, have confidence in yourself. Know and understand that you are drawn

to that for a reason and with purpose. If it is your passion, then surely

you'll excel. You likely will find that that fear is a phantom that you

will overcome once you get in the middle of the experience. Go with it and

enjoy it!

Sat nam!

 

I completely relate to your lonely and bored statements ;). Like some of

you, I am also painfully shy in many social situations. When I meditate,

deep down i KNOW that we are all connected and part of a whole. But this

experience rarely translates into the outside world.

 

Do any of you know of a meditation or mantra that reduces fear; the fear of

others and promotes feelings of connection with other people?

 

Thank you for understanding!

P.S. Betty,

 

Sat nam; As far as my Teaching Classes... I AM STILL Waiting for my

Students to Come to Me!!! I AM Filled With the Light & Fire, and SO

Eager To BEGIN Teaching! So, the Fear of Public Speaking is Gone!!!

 

By the way, I, also have no "job" outside the home of my Already

Over-Stressed Full-Time Job (that I Adore!) of Mother & Housewife!!!

I wonder what THAT is Worth?! Priceless!!! Any-way, all I'm trying to

say is I AM Teaching without certification (Teacher-Training) as I (we)

cannot afford it now. However, I feel I AM Teacher, and for NOW, Along

with All Above letter States of my Help, Plus Many Hours/Days/Months

of Preparation, I AM READY!!! (You should See my Files and Studio &

Student print-outs, both in English & Greek! Ha!)

 

Where There's a Will, There's A WAY!!! YOU CAN DO IT, Praise GOD!!!

 

Love,

Nirmal(wildwoman)

Sat nam Tessa!

 

Keep-up your meditations, and this EXperience WILL Pervade

Out/In-wardly in ALL You Do!

***

When I meditate,

> experience rarely translates into the outside world.

 

Tessa, what works for me is The Adi Mantra, or Tuning in as is called

ANY TIME You Are Afraid or need Help/Guidance in ANY WAY!!! OR Do

Triple Mantra for that EXtra Boost:

AD GURAY NAMEH

JUGAD GARAY NAMEH

SAT GURAY NAMEH

 

AD SUCH

JUGAD SUCH

HEHBEE SUCH

NANAKA O SEE BEE SUCH

 

AD SUCH

JUGAD SUCH

HEHBEH SUCH

NANAKA O SEE BEH SUCH

 

SIMPLY; "I AM," or "AUM" or" LOVE PEACE AND LIGHT," EVERYONE

EVERYPLACE YOU GO!!! BE THAT SILENT OBSERVER WITHOUT ATTATCHING!!!!!!!

Is Difficult at first like anything WORTH-WHILE, BEcomes EASIER WITH

PRACTICE!!!

 

Another Favorite of mine:

 

"Wahe Guru, Wahe Guru; Guru Ram Dass Guru x2-3--- He immediately is at

Your Side helping and taking care of you! I usually ask "Bless us &

Heal us, or Anything-- I even chant this over food while cooling to

Bless It & All who eat it, etc! Then, "THANK YOU!" GRATITUDE Goes A

Longgg Way!

***Do any of you know of a meditation or mantra that reduces fear;

the fear of others and promotes feelings of connection with other

people?

Thank you for understanding!

BLESSINGS,

Tessa:

I have learned from another aspect of my spiritual practice and also read here

in this forum, that offering myself in service to others, without expectation,

will help dissolve the barriers my ego has constructed which separate me from my

fellows and from God. Any service, however small, is a beginning.

Trust and be filled with love and light.

Sat Nam,

dear Tessa,

 

yes, there are meditations around against fear and anxiety. I had a

student, which used to have severe anxiety attacks and was on medication.

Together with Yoga, a loving husband ;-) and with the help of a caring

doctor (not the typical recipe-writer) she became free of drugs and is now

a happy and energetic lady. She also looks much more sexy then ever (huh,

hope my wife does not read this statement ;-) and she walks now with grace

through her life.

 

To my understanding the fight against fear and anxiety starts with

acceptance and self-love. When you are able to love yourself (your SELF),

then you are also able to love others. And then your aura increases, you

start to radiate and the connection to other people happens

'automatically'. No need to do anything weird or special - just love

yourself. Hope this helps.

 

Sending blessings and light from Shanghai,

 

Adarsh S.

Tess, the only way to get through your fear is to go through your anxiety.

Make a game of it with no expectation of return but having fun. Smile at

everyone, wave at people from your car, accepts gifts, I sometimes just go

hang somewhere and say nothing. But you needn't suffer social anxiety,

there are so many people and experiences that will bring you so much joy.

Gosh, for every rejection I recieve I know my tenacity will pull me forward.

So have faith, go to a nursing home, volunteer, take dance, you know the

Gabrielle Roth kind. Suffering from social anxiety and I am 46, just going

forward everyday I tell myself something wonderful will happen. I hope this

helps. Lainie
