How do I know what to do

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

Blessing to all. I am in my 10th day of meditation for prosperity

and knowing how to recognize it. My profession is secondary ed. but

burned out after nine years of it. This was three years ago at which

time I went into financial services. This required a lot of self-

discipline that I do not have. I find it hard to get out of the house

to do the necessary PR. Needless to say I haven't been " financially "

successful in this area. Funny that when it is someone else's

business--I am there the required time and then more. My business--I

get lazy! I lack confidence so I find myself taking time to do things

at home or going out to help someone, anything to keep me from doing

what I need to do for " My Business " . I have toyed with the idea of

going back to teaching; I have started classes for massage therapy

and have financially committed to this program. Bottom line I need

to work for income but I want to enjoy what I do. How does one get

to this point? Although with some reservations, I applied for a

teaching position and that was unsuccessful...I again submitted apps.

with two other school districts and waiting...Question: Am I pushing

this and should I let it go?...and should I seek building my

business?...Should I just be patient; wait to complete massage

therapy classes to build that up and in the meantime do something

temp to fill in financial gaps? My husband is willing to support

whatever decision I make. Deciding is the BIG PROBLEM for me.

 

Comments, advice and or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I will

continue with meditation.

 

 

God Bless

I recognise some of what you descibe, I'm now in secondary ed

following a first career in finance/IT. A couple of years ago I was

faced with some deep life questions at a time when I was seeming to

become more spiritually aware.

 

I followed my intuition (which was a bit daring and unusual for me at

the time) ... as a result I started Kundalini Yoga and had a series

of one to one discussions with my teacher about the 'problem' I had.

I was blessed with a teacher who really helped ... not making the

decisions for me but shining a light into different facets, different

ways of approaching the problem.

 

So, one thing you might consider is asking to talk to with a KY

teacher about this.

 

The upshot for me was a growing appreciation of the problem that

faced me, my relationship with it shifted from 'problem' to 'puzzle'.

 

Sometimes our minds kick up a lot of noise, positive mind and

negative mind chattering and we just get confused. Part of what I

have learned while I have been practicing KY over the last couple of

years are ways to either still the chatter or kind of sidestep it.

 

What follows are a few things that have worked for me. If you feel

inclined, you might like to try one or more of them. If not then

bless you for prompting me to write them down anyway ... I trust that

someone reading them will find some use (or maybe it's just to prompt

me to crystallise my thoughts ...)

 

One technique to sidestep analytical mind chatter is to use an

intuitive/divination tool - but I use these things rather differently

than I did when I was younger. (I'll describe how later) There are

many 'divination' tools which have been used ... astrology,

cartomancy, tarot, geomancy, numerology etc. In KY we tend to look at

numerology as a tool. In KY teacher training refer to Osho (we're

asked to read his book 'The True Name') as well as Yogi Bhajan. If

you look around on the web you'll come across Osho's 'Zen Tarot'

which is useful for exploring problems ... there's even a free online

system that provides Osho tarot layouts.

 

Whatever method of diviniation/intuition you use, my appproach these

days is to not focus so heavily/slavishly on 'what the cards say'

(for instance), but rather, focus on my reaction to what they appear

to say.

 

For example, the cards (or your 'numbers') might suggest that now is

a time to be determined rather than going with the flow. As you read

it ... just be watchful of your feelings and your heart will deliver

a message. It might embrace the statement as a friend 'Yes ... that's

SO right!' or it might be less positive ... " Nonsense ... that

doesn't sound right at all... " your answer may be calling out to you

from inside you if you listen.

 

Your partner sounds wonderfully supportive, you might invite them to

take the place of the divination tool (which is sort of what my KY

teacher did with me). Ask them to role play a very assertive

position, e.g. 'Don't you DARE give up your training course ... of

COURSE you must see it through to the end' sit facing them when they

do this and just eact as if the roleplay was real ... argue or smile,

but notice what you are doing, what you are feeling.

 

Next day (or at least after a break and maybe a cup of yogi tea) do

the same thing but have your partner present the opposite position

equally strongly e.g. 'That training course was a mistake ... you've

got to give it up ... it's WAY too expensive and it will take too

long to complete ...' discuss ... and note your feelings.

 

Then sit and talk through the feelings you had in both cases with

your partner ... probably it will already be clear what your divine

path is ... your heart will know and your partner will see the shine

in your eyes when you talk about the thing that is right for you -

when you are touching the truth.

 

You might want to meditate or reflect quietly to catch any subtleties

in your intuition, but I feel we have the right, responsibility and

ability to touch the divine wisdom inside us that connects us to the

infinite - the answers are there. Trust , breathe slowly and connect

to the answer-light within you ...

 

This process echoes the model of positive mind/negative mind/neutral

mind from the 10 spiritual bodies described ny Yogi Bhajan.

 

With experience, you might find that you no longer need to use the

tool hear what your heart is saying.

 

My personal belief system is that we are here to learn, have fun, and

be happy. Problems, for me, have shifted into being gifts from the

cosmos to help me learn. Sometimes we might think we have failed to

learn if we don't 'solve' a problem - but even then there is the

chance to learn about humility and acceptance. I find Kundalini Yoga

technology fits wonderfully for me.

 

Maybe your current situation is to present you with the opportunity

to exercise discernment (by choosing), or acceptance (by letting go

and taking what comes your way), to become more sensitive and

cherishing of your own connection with divine truth, to experiment

with intuition tools or simply appreciate the support of your partner.

 

With thanks, blessings and best wishes for your receipt and

recognition of prosperity in its many guises.
