Guest guest Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Sat Nam Fellow yogis and yoginis I am writing you today to express the motivation behind what I am trying to do at aquarianpilgrims.ning.com. I am recovering from a life of despair and pain. I struggled for years with debilitating neurosis, mood swings, and addiction that for many spell their demise. For some reason God saw fit to spare my life and give me a chance to live and serve. When I first came to a place of recovery in my life I spent years wandering around the area near where Im from trying to find healing and peace in my soul and for years I suffered in doubt and fear and loss of hope until one day I was given a gift or a clue that has lead to my salvation. My therapist suggested I go try a yoga class and the one on the schedule that fit my schedule was a beginner Kundalini Yoga class. Ill never forget the feeling of energy that flowed through me after that first class. I began attending regularly. Its been over two and a half years since then. Ive been doing Sadhana just about every day for over two years now and I had no idea when I began that I was capable of healing on this level. Of all the things Ive tried and done in my life nothing has brought me peace of mind and clarity and health and healing and love for my life and love of my soul the way Kundalini Yoga has. I feel compelled to share this gift with anyone that I can. I remember sitting in Juvenile hall when I was fifteen years old looking at a white brick wall with a cage over the window in tears asking God why, why did I have to be here? Ill never forget the reply that assured me that what I was going through then was going enable me to help people one day, so I carried on in quiet desparation for many years. Im at a point now where I am turning to you to help me on this path. I alone am limited in my experience and wisdom and ability to resonate with all people. But with Gods grace and Gods people working beside me we can reach many people. I ask you to come and participate in what we are doing. Or figure out something better and let me help you with it. Be involved, be present. Share what God has given you because if what you have touches one soul the way my soul has been touched then maybe you have done your part in serving the higher purpose of uplifting our brothers and sisters from the anguish of a life separated from God. What if it is your brother or your sister or your mother that you reach out and touch and save them that pain. It is some ones brother or sister or mother or son or daughter.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Sat Nam and thank you for your powerful message. My experience with Kundalini Yoga and recovery are remarkable in their similarity. A psychologist suggested yoga as a tool to help me through a particularly difficult period on all levels of my being. The first couple of classes were Hatha. Within a couple of weeks, the schedule changed and I was introduced to Kundalini yoga. The healing was profound and immediate and I knew right away that teaching would be part of my life's path and of my continued recovery. I have been pondering a series of classes targeted to those in need (and who isn't) of recovery from all types of addiction and linking the Ten Bodies of Consciousness to the Twelve Steps pioneered by Alcoholic Anonymous. I feel a direct correlation. Blessings to you on your journey and your service to others. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
