Guest guest Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Sat Nam! Lonliness may be experienced as a disconnection from your soul. What is your sadhana? How much of your day are you able or willing to give to your soul, connection to the Divine? Staying with the feeling is important, following it to the original energy or thought. Are you practicing a gratitude for all that comes to you? When the heart center opens there is no lonliness, all is perfect and complete. Perhaps spinal flex whispering Sa Ta Na Ma with each movement will help you uncover the source of this feeling. Remember our feelings change sometimes moment to moment; so finding the deep abiding space in the heart center will help keep you balanced and steady. As you practice Kundalini Yoga Kriyas and chanting fear arises. That is good, it means it is working! ha ha... sometimes it is the ego wanting to hang on to the asleep state. Keep up!... you will be in my thoughts. Blessings, Gururavi Kundaliniyoga Kundaliniyoga Fri, 2 Jun 2006 13:47:02 -0000 Kundalini Yoga Digest Number 2607 There are 10 messages in this issue.

I don't want to help anymore! I am also coming across people who are struggling, they are obviously upset, and they choose to look away: "things will change, they will improve" they say. To be able to help others, it is not enough to offer advice, it is not enough to have ideas to share or a willingness to help. One must listen from the heart, from one's entire body, from a neutral yet completely compassionate place. What does it mean to be neutral? Drop your own agenda so it does not matter whether the other follows your advice or not. It is their life! They are in charge! I have been given so much advice in my life and most of it was not for me. The advice came from perspectives that did not consider my spiritual path into account. How could it have worked? What does it mean to be compassionate? It means to love the other so much that you are willing to let them make "mistakes". Mistakes are only in the eye of the beholder. Hasn't God let you make your own mistakes? Hasn't life warned you at times of what you could be doing and you still went your way? And if you truly see clearly, neutrally, what's best for them, you still give yourself permission to let them stray. Perhaps the best thing they can do is to stray one more time. This time they might get it for real, from experience! As teachers we need to experience life as fully as we can so when we teach we come from experience, not from what we read, not from what others have taught us. Yes we start from there, but if we teach from there, we are only robots. Keep the teachings pure, yes. What I am saying though is as you allow others to stray, allow yourself to stray a little, feel what it is like to experiment, feel what it's like to learn to be you. And since all of life is an experiment, it's alright to make mistakes! The more mistakes, the more daring you are, the more you'll experience. That's where true abundance comes from! Who are you? Who are you really? Can you tell yourself? How are you going to figure out who you are if you follow paths already laid out? Your path is you. Even within Buddhism, or within Kundalini Yoga, you still need to stop looking to the Buddha or to Yogi Bhajan and watch where your light is guiding you. There are many ways to avoid living: One of them is to explain everything mentally. A lot of new age thoughts or spiritual thoughts get thrown left and right. For instance: "This person is negative! I can't be around them!" My question is: "How does this person affect you? Where does it hurt inside when you are with them?" You need not come across that person ever again. Just accept the experience that person gave you! Another is to be totally right brain about it and send the light over everything. Although it might be a good thing to do, it is still not taking life as it is. When people send the light like this, they really try to change the world so they don't have to feel. Left brain or right brain only leads to trouble. Open your heart to your situation first, accept to feel. You may get a glimpse that life does not waste experiences. They all have a purpose. They all have gold for you. Blessings, Awtar S. Rochester, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
