Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 hello- so, i have been on this group for a while- havent posted in a long time- however- i finally connected with a teacher and started to build my life with my practice as a priority and i am looking for some specific ideas or links on a detox diet- i know many detox ideas are here- i eat pretty healthy already- I do eat meat- have no problem going without it either- can someone give me some ideas to set the space for a deepening and strengthening my committment to practice. my relationship with alcohol is not serving my life at all- yet i feel addicted just enough to have to be very focused in order to completely let go of it..i am going to research more on the meditations- this is relevant though for finding the right approach to a detox plan- thank you in advance- Blessings, Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Dearest Rachel If you commit to a daily sadhana for a period of at least forty days you may find that your need for alcohol just falls away naturally as you begin to realize that the high that you have been seeking is available with no side effects every morning. Many people who crave alcohol and drugs are just looking for elevation. Kundalini yoga provides the ultimate elevation. If Sadhana alone does not work join AA and combine both modalties.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Dear Jane and anyone else who would like to reply I have had some great feedback already this mornign waking up to emails- I wanted to respond to this posting from Jane online to open myself to any more suggestions that may help shine some light on my endeavor---If I think about Sadhana, it seems a a very personal choice- yet, I am thinking it may help to get a framework of peoples experiences of what that means- I am a mother of 3 and it is a complex day constantly taking care of these other human beings- i have always let my intentions to practice come last- I am wise enough now to understand that i need to build my house from the inside out if i am to be strong enough and clear enough to make good choices and be the best mom i can be- Kundalini has always seemed a bit overwhelming in that i cant always clear the " time " to do all the proposed meditations- i think i made it way too complicated- anyway- i am taking some advice and listening-ive been doing yoga on my own mostly for many years- taking my yoga class with a great teacher trained in Kundalini was the best thing i did so far-it struck the cord i was needing- when you say Sadhana- is it simply setting an intention to a personal committment toward spiritual practice? - blessings, Rachele In Kundaliniyoga , Jane Bentley <janebentley8 wrote: > > Dearest Rachel > If you commit to a daily sadhana for a period of at least forty days you may find that your need for alcohol just falls away naturally as you begin to realize that the high that you have been seeking is available with no side effects every morning.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi Again Rachel, I don't know how old your kids are so it is hard to respond in a helpful manner. When I started my practice I just found a CD with a meditation that I loved (Ad Guray Nameh by Snatam Kaur) and took it with me wherever I went, That way if I had to drop my daughter off to a sports practice and my baby boy fell asleep, I would meditate in the car. Later on I began to wake up early in order to get a longer time in. Its kind of like the Nike slogan " Just Do It " and the light of your soul leads the way from there. This stuff works!
