Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Sat nam I joined this group recently. I`ve never done yoga and need some advice on how to begin. I would like to learn meditations and exercises for getting rid of consecquences of gender dysphoria: depressions, irritability, panic attacks and lack of assertivenes. There are no yoga teachers where I live. Does anyone know how to begin Kundalini Yoga practice in my case? Thanks in advance for any help you might share.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Sat Nam, welcome to the group. Any form of yoga can be helpful to help us feel more comfortable in our body. Certainly most forms of meditation and yoga will also help you learn to relax which will help with panic attacks. You can practice kundalini yoga from a book but you could also look for a teacher in another form of yoga as well since it alway helps to have guidance. Pardon my asking, and please feel free to not answer if you feel the question is intrusive, have you been diagnosed as having gender dysphoria or is this a conclusion you have come to yourself? Are you working towards accepting and embracing who you are as an unique individual with your own special gifts, talents and characteristics? blessings ovasoul Kundalini Yoga, Books, Videos and DVDs on Kundalini Yoga, Meditation and Mantra CDs Terms of Service.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Sat Nam Alina, Welcome! When we internalize the anger others feel toward us it becomes Inner Anger. When instead of shining our spirit and expressing our outrage we suck it in, we sow the seeds of self hatred and build Inner Anger. Inner anger blocks us from having a relationship with ourself and thus we have depression. One only contemplates suicide when this situation is present dominant. When our body system is cleared of this anger, it is then that we are capable of loving ourselves and the body we are given. The set for Inner Anger is a good choice ( http://www.sahej.com/inner_anger-one.html ) but before trying it familiarize yourself with the basics of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan. Go to http://kundaliniyoga.org/ for the free On Line course. We are available if you need any guidance. One thing I'll say, is our primary identity is that of being a Soul. Which is beyond gender, race, age or your station in this life. Kundalini Yoga*, particularly, speaks to that Truth, openly. And while the purpose of all systems of Yogas is to work with the Kundalini, many practitioners don't understand it and can't speak opening about it with maturity. Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan is so varied from set to set, and so complete in that respect, you will not need to try anything else. From what I am gathering from your comments, a lot can be accomplished through diet. More on that later. I'm late for work You have found the right place. By the way, what is your complete birthday? Sat Nam, Dharam Singh Millis, MA *Kundalini is the "pressure of the Soul". On 4/28/06, Alina <aranea (AT) swissinfo (DOT) org> wrote: > > Sat nam > > I joined this group recently.
