CONDITIONING OR CREATIVITY? BALANCING THE WATER TATTWA


"SAINTS AND SAGES HAVE TAUGHT MANKIND THAT whatever elements are found in the constitution of the Infinite Universe will also be found in the human body. The Universe is the entire Cosmos; and we are a microcosm of the entire Cosmos. If we were to take a thimbleful of sea water and examine it closely, we would find by chemical qualitative analysis that the constituents of the sea water in the thimble are identical to those of the vast ocean. Similarly, the constituents of our individual bodies are iden­tical to those of the Universe. It would be a strange finding if some element were found inside the human body which differed from the elements of the Universe. For there is One Creator who has created this Creation; and all manifested things are born from the One Source of all. "- Yogi Bhajan

When we talk about the five tattwas, we are talking about the building blocks of our physical existence.  These five elements maintain health and balance of our physical bodies.  Each tattwa (element) controls a body system. Last week, we discussed the EARTH TATTWA which is responsible for the bones, teeth, marrow and the flesh;  the physical structure of our body. People with a predominance of this tattwa usually have a body heavy with an excess of blood, flesh, and fat. They are often lazy, but also patient, and they keep away from all conflicts and anxiety-producing concerns.   

This week we will work with the WATER TATTWA. The kidneys, sex glands, and the lymphatic system are physi­cal manifestations of this tattwa. People with a predominance of this element are very amiable and have a very sweet disposition when dealing with others.  It is closely related to the second chakra which is located in the area of the sex organs and commands those energies dealing with creation, passion,  and flexibility.  The Water Tattwa is all about emotions....subconscious or otherwise... and Thursday night we'll be practicing a meditation to put those emotions in check. 

COMPULSION OR CHOICE?  CONDITIONING OR CREATIVITY? How do YOU want to use your energy?  Creativity begins at the second chakra, the center of our passions.  When we process our emotions in a healthy way, we have control of these passions and can use them for our betterment.  Just like a water filtration system, we can remove the toxins and debris from our bodies and minds in order to live a pure and healthy life.  Getting rid of non useful and destructive emotional patterns is essential if we want to have authentic relationships with ourselves and others.

With the help of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, we can activate this filtration system so we can ENJOY more productive, positive and healthy lives.  7:00 on Thursday night.  Bring a mat, blanket, cushion or whatever else you may need for yoga and meditation.  Classes are donation basis $15 recommended.  Bring a friend. Bring a desire to make powerful and lasting change in your life.  For more information visit the website.

PLEASE NOTE THAT BECAUSE OF THE SUMMER SOLSTICE CELEBRATION IN NEW MEXICO, CLASS WILL NOT BE HELD ON THURSDAY JUNE 14 OR JUNE 20.  CLASSES WILL RESUME JUNE 27.
