integration of results/kriya or meditation for being present

December 8, 2009

This week has been huge for me, and it has caused me to become tired of the

resistance in my mind to change. My mind is constantly moving from one plan to

the next, analyzing things I've read, thinking of conversations, analyzing what

I am doing well or not. It doesn't stop. I am fortunate if I can get through

one round of chanting ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO and be fully present during it. I

am working on it so very hard. Yet, I know that the mind is energy and I need

to " cease striving and know that I am God " Psalm 46:10.

I have moments where I can touch what KY is doing for me, but those moments of

being fully present in it are few (though I'm getting better). I am frustrated

by my unsettled mind. I don't know if I am trying to feel emptiness (isolation)

with thoughts. I also feel very up in the air about what I should be doing with

my life. This week I thought that God had given me an answer in a very hard and

unexpected way, but instead I think it is only health problems (though I suppose

that is plan too). As the week went on, I felt myself being led to something I

had considered as a path for me, but not now... I have always thought that my

place was being a writer. Now, I'm thinking a childbirth educator and yoga

instructor (I have thought along these lines since my traumatic birth experience

with my first daughter).

So, that said... sorry to spill some of my guts here... I'd love to hear

thoughts on integrating the results of my practice into my body and into my

being. Also, a kriya/meditation that might help my racing mind.

Sat Nam! and thank you.

But, Kelli, " spilling your guts " is what happens to finish clearing the debris.

It is utter honesty, and I find it beautiful.

For a lot of meditations and mudras to still the racing mind, I recommend David

Shannahoff Khalsa's book " Kundalini Yoga Meditation: Techniques for Couples

Therapy (and the book is at home and I forget the rest of the sub title).

It's available on Amazon for about $23. I use it often in teaching my classes

and for powerful mantras for my own personal practice.

It's a lot of food for thought but if you're willing to give it the time, you'll

discover riches there. There are many clinical trials run with doctors and

documenting results if your mind finds analytical proof useful.

Tershula Kriya is great for healing at a distance and useful to increase strenth

of projection if you ever take up Sat Nam Rasayan healing method taught by Guru

Dev Singh. There's another mantra to turn negative thoughts to positive -

around page 173 or 73, as I recall. It left me on a great " high " after teaching

last night's yoga class. I'll check details if you're interested.

Blessings,
