Kundalini Yoga and relationships

[Guest guest]

I am curious as to how many of you who practice Kundalini Yoga have found and

married your soul mate? I am also definitely experiencing a longing for this. In

my case, I started working in my practice on the heart chakra. I had a burst of

grief come forth. Ironically, I found a soul mate from 20 years ago in Vienna on

line, and seeing photos of him married and with a beautiful child brought up a

feeling of loss and failure. It was a " right love, wrong timing " situation that

we had. Again, the truth came out, as it always does with Kundalini Yoga. In the

above post, geographical location was also mentioned. That resonates with me.

Following Suze Orman, I've done a lot of financial work to prepare for my

future, but my soul tells me I don't believe that I can meet a soulmate in this

local environment. I also appreciate the comment above that the desire for a

soul mate is primal. That makes sense.

Dear Satpal Kaur, Sat Nam -

If you will read a document that is transcribed and posted on the " Files "

section of this website, it's called " Yogi Bhajan: What the Coming Age Owes to

Ancient Mayan Culture " - you may discover how to get to the bottom of this whole

allure of " soul mate. " In that lecture/teaching from August 1987, he says -

" There will be a powerful 'urge to merge'- and those who merge together without

merging first within themselves, will destroy each other. "

 

Like apana merging with prana, or a free radical merging with an electron, they

will cancel each other out and disappear.

 

So, " How do we merge first within ourselves. " See my post of a few days ago

( " who is a soul bride? " ). You take Wahe Guru as your spouse (soul mate), merge

with Wahe Guru and your spouse will take to to, or bring to you, your " human

mate " who is also similarly " hooked up " with Wahe Guru. It will become a cosmic

pyramid of a relationship, a Divine Menage a'Trois, the whole enchilada, the big

" shebang, " a wonder of wonders. And it will be " great work if we can get, and

we can get it if do " get it " and we try. "

 

Best wishes for your journey in cosmic, sustainable intimacy and loving soulful

relationship. It's the only way it really does work, that why it can be called

" enlightenment " in love. It's Guru Nanak's gift, as when he said, " Call them

not married who simply live together side by side, but those who live as 'one

light' in two bodies. " That 'one light' of which he was speaking is " Wahe

Guru. " Merging there is step number one. And then, as Wahe Guru may lead you,

on to that human partner who is qualified to merge into because also merged with

Wahe Guru. The other discussions of " soul mates " are fantasies - that's

basically what my teacher, your teacher, Yogi Bhajan had to say about it. He

thought the current " social convention " of finding a " soul mate " was a joke.

The approach through experience of Wahe Guru becomes a " carriage to Infinity. "

The others are sitting beside the road, waiting for a ride, or for an

opportunity to wake up. But the superior option is always available, always

there, inside us as Wahe Guru has already been our essence forever. Turn your

head the other way, and see whose head is already on the pillow next to you. It

will be breathtakingly beautiful. We can when we exhaust all the other

possibilities, or give up sooner in favor of reality (more beautiful than a

movie in our brain).

 

Love and Blessings,

Krishna Singh

Sat nam,

I met my husband through Kundalini yoga, at Winter and Summer Solstices. When

you speak of " Did I find my soulmate? " , I have to say I found one of them. I

have met a few in this lifetime. Maybe five. It is a great relief once you

find out that first one that got away and is now happily married to someone else

is not the only one.

It's a pretty basic human drive but it's not everything. The drive to find the

deeper self isn't a basic human drive (for most people their instinct is to

avoid it!) but is maybe much more rewarding for many people.

Maybe those with a very powerful need to find a mate are putting too much hope

into it - hope that this mate will be the answer to all their problems....

The soulmate thing is overrated. It's not like they are this magic peaceful

mate necessarily. A lot of time they are here to cause you to grow. It is a

gift this soul who you've probably known for lifetimes is bringing for you. My

ex-finace, for instance, was a huge catalyst for change for me. What a dear

sweet soul friendship we must have (beyond time and space) for our human forms

to have come together to push me through the eye of the needle, so to speak. I

went from not being able to sustain relationships for more than months or maybe

a year tops, to now being married happily for over eight years. This all

happened during my time at the ashram, and also I began taking courses with

Landmark Education Corporation in self-development and communication and such.

The synergistic combo of KY and LEC catapulted my spiritual growth. I worked

very hard, honestly, and earnestly on myself, and I have integrity and

empowerment that will always stay with me. If I falter into mediocrity, I

always have the ability to pull myself out of it again, and i can never be

ignorantly blissful, only empoweredly blissful. When my husband and I got

together, I still had learning and growing to do, and it still took some work

for me to learn to be vulnerable and open in the first year or two. These days,

things are pretty smooth sailing. It is hard work. It is not like fairy tales

and movies. Any time I am disgruntled momentarily with my relationship, I take

empowered action to make it what i want, by being the change i want to see in

the world or relationship as the case may be.

Single people, I remember the first few years at the ashram I was single,

working hard on myself, and I understood that connecting to God was the first

and most important step. But I am human, and I felt lonely. God is great, but

who will hold me at night, I would ask. So I know all this " develop your

relationship with God or Self " stuff may seem like a frustrating answer at

times, but keep up, keep on burning away all that is not you, and find the real

divine you. You can do it. You are almost there. Keep growing! You are

beautiful! and there is nothing wrong with you, you are not lacking in

deservingness for this relationship of your future, by the way. You are

perfect. You just need to burn or scrape away the layers of dust or goo or ego

obscuring the Real You. Maybe you are all set, now, then sustain what you have,

until the ideal partner finishes getting his/her act together.

Dear Guru Beant Kaur,

 

Thank you for your response. Yes, I feel that I have met and loved other men who

were also soul mates. I just find it interesting because I did not have a strong

desire for marriage and union until now, at age 45. I am 25 years into my

practice, 42 years into a serious study and career in dance, now teaching. Many

artists don't marry. I feel a big shift now like this is part of my path. It

feels like it's a result of all the hours of Kundalini Yoga and spiritual work.

It's not by any means a replacement for a connection to God. It's a physical,

primal need, on this plane.

 

Another strange detail, the four other men I felt this connection with have

died, (well the 4th has HIV.) Most died very young.

 

I definitely feel we have members of our soul group: friends, pets, teachers,

etc...part of our spiritual family. I love to connect with these souls.

 

I also have been practicing tantra and that probably has a lot to do with it. In

my case, i think at times in my life I used my spiritual practices to replace a

relationship. I was performing on tour for 15 years.

Dear Bridget,

Thank you for your post. I am continuing with the heart chakra set. It is short,

but powerful! I find the " soul mate " feeling to also be connected to master

energy in my life. I have felt this with teachers, students, friends, this lover

I wrote about, and animals. It's just a recognition of connection and powerful

love over many lifetimes. The KY has given me the strength not to be so

emotional, which has led to this man and I to discussing by email how our lives

are now. It's a huge relief and healing. I feel like I've gotten a piece of my

soul back. We will not be together as man and wife, but the love (now in

friendship) is very deep. Your story is inspiring. Thank you,

Satpal Kaur
