rx: abuse/stress

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Gururattan,

You mentioned in one of your articles that working the twelve

steps and having the assistance of a competent therapist can help one

to process unresolved anger and issues. I finally bit the bullet so

to speak and found a competent therapist. She thinks I have a

combination of post traumatic stress and/or major depression.

I'm not sure if I would have made this much progress without the

strength and insights I have gained from kundalini yoga. I'm also a

member of the Destiny of Women discussion group. I have been doing a

morning sadhana - combination of Gurmukh's video and kirtan kriya.

Do you have any suggestions re: more appropriate kriyas or

exercises during this process? It seems that all of them are

beneficial in one way or another, but then there's only so many hours

in a day.

Thank-you for sharing your experience and wisdom with all of us.

I will be forever grateful for the healthy, happy and holy individuals

who contribute to this group.

Special love and blessings,

Abinashi

Dear Abinashi,

 

That is great you have found a competent therapist. Therapy can give you

clarity about what your programs and stories are. At some point you have to

find the power within to stop them and to relate instead to your infinity.

KY is designed for that. It is a process. We aware and also patient with

yourself.

 

The spiritual reason we are depressed is that we don't relate to our

infinity, soul and heart. True happiness comes when we find the sacred

within ourselves. So this should be your goal in your KY practice.

 

The set on Gurumukhs video is very challenging so it will help release

blocks. But you should be very vigilant in taking advantage of the spaces

between exercises (even turn off the video for a few minutes) to be in our

own silence and stillness. Go inside and see the space within your head and

let this space expand to your heart. Be sure to do this at the end of the

set and then after Kirtan Kriya too. This is critical to integrate and take

advantage of the changes created by doing the exercises.

 

At some point you could do some heart opening meditation. That will make

you feel good i.e. anti-depression.

 

Since you suffer from post traumatic stress be kind to yourself during your

practice and during the day. This can reverse the stress syndrome.

*Great. The two meditations at the end of Destiny are perfect heart

openers.

 

Many blessings to you,

(and to all the women of the world reclaiming their power!)
