TO EXPERIENCE INFINITY

What are we up to tonight? First we'll open up and supercharge the pranic channels and then we'll balance the glandular system so the physical body is in perfect equilibrium. When our radiant and physical bodies are working together in harmony, we'll have the magnetic power to pull in what we need and the physical strength to sustain and maintain it.

The meditation we'll be doing is the Yoni Kriya of which Yogi Bhajan said, " Do it normally and within ten to eleven minutes it can change the total glandular system. It is an unbelievably effective meditation and exercise". It's very relaxing and will make you feel GREAT.

Bring a mat, blanket or cushion to sit on, and a donation ($15 recommended). Bring a friend, too! Tea is served afterwards and you are welcome to stay and chat.

Elevation

I have been so busy that I haven't had the time to blog here...but I thought I'd at least drop you all a line and tell you what is up for TONIGHT at 7pm.  

To paraphrase Yogi Bhajan, we are spiritual beings here to have a human experience, not human beings here to have a spiritual experience.  So since we are blessed to be in the physical human form...and after all it takes at least 8.4 million incarnations to get to this point...and 100,000 times that to be capable of achieving self-realization...we've got to work with it so it performs for us.

There are many ways to do that, but one way is to adjust, align and balance the physical form so that we can better serve our spiritual natures.  When we do this, we are creating a healthy and obstruction-free pathway through which the kundalini energy can flow.

Tonight we are going to do just that....and practice a meditation for prosperity.  What could be better than that????

Bring a mat, blanket, a donation (15 recommended), and a friend...

and enjoy the company of like minded souls.  for more info www.eaglerockkundalinicenter.com

LET'S GET PHYSICAL

THE FIFTH BODY - TONIGHT AT 7 - PHYSICAL BODY

It is such a blessing that we are in a physical body. Many of us take it for granted, but it is a real gift on so many different levels. Each of our physical bodies is different and teaches us the lessons we have to learn. It's a vehicle for our spiritual growth and it enables us to do good deeds to uplift humanity. That being said, why do so many of us abuse our physical bodies and ignore them as if they didn't matter?

Just ask anyone who has had a grave illness and has survived, how precious is the human body. Many individuals who have endured physical hardship and pain know the true gift of the human spirit and even more so, the blessing of the physical body.

According to Yogi Bhajan, (the yogic point of view) to get here in this physical form, you have had to have had at least 8.4 million incarnations. Imagine....8.4 million incarnations equals one light year and in order to be a physical body capable of self-realization, you would have had to travel 100,000 light years. That's a long, long time.

So from a purely practical point of view, its a big deal to be here in the physical body. The physical body is the TEMPLE where all the other bodies play out their parts. One of the big jobs of the physical body is the POWER TO SACRIFICE. Another big job is that it give you the POWER TO TEACH, to uplift. It enables you to take esoteric abstract concepts and break them down for others so that they are understood. Having the POWER TO SACRIFICE means that you use this body in this lifetime to work out your incarnation as well as serving those around you. To sacrifice is also to teach because when you sacrifice, you are going outside of yourself to assist others.

Work out this incarnation....what does this mean? Well, here we have to discuss Karma and Dharma...because with the Fifth Body, you have the strength and discipline to choose Dharma over Karma.

"In Kundalini Yoga we don't worry about the effect, we worry about the cause, because cause has an effect. Effect can never happen without cause; consequences shall never happen without sequence. If a person can be aware enough to know the trend of the sequences, he can control the consequences".- Yogi Bhajan

Karma is almost a household word yet not everybody knows what it means. The Law of Karma means that every action has a reaction and this is an absolute rule of nature. (It is Newton's third law of motion "Every action has a reaction, equal and opposite"). It does not mean "fate".

The idea is not to perform tasks that have a negative effect or backlash. Everything we do or say is a seed planted for the future. Sometimes we inherit the karmic energy of the past and we have to work it out in our incarnation so we can be liberated. If we are slaves to the ego attachments to objects, feelings, and thoughts, then we are biased toward certain behavior. We aim to balance these tendencies through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and the karmas are the conditions required in order to complete these tendencies.

Dharma is the path of life ABOVE the wheel of karma. It is a life aligned with our souls and destiny. It is a life of action without reaction because all actions are aimed toward the Infinate. If Karma is having a balance that you owe, Dharma is having the account cleared. WHEN YOU LIVE A DHARMIC LIFE, YOU ARE POSITIVE AND GRACEFUL AND YOU UPLIFT ALL THOSE AROUND YOU.

Your physical body can teach you a lot. If you experience an emotional stress, maybe you're the kind of person who tightens up your neck. And every time you have a similar emotional stress, even if its just a "hint" of the issue, your neck does the same thing. Your body is signaling you to pay attention to the source of the emotional pain so that you can resolve those issues. Your body is what it is today because it's a representation of all that you are; all your experiences and everything stored in your muscles and nervous system. What you did in the past not only has shaped who you are now but it informs where you are going in the future.

If you find that you are greedy, angry, jealous, competitive, or ungrateful or that you have trouble expressing yourself verbally, then balancing the physical body is your key to happiness and free expression. If you want to create a healthy environment in which your spirit can dwell, then working on the physical body can give you an advantage. If you want to serve humanity, teach and uplift others, then developing the FIFTH BODY will give you the strength and endurance to SACRIFICE and to mentor others.

Tonight's 7:00 pm class will be all about this PHYSICAL BODY. Please bring a mat, a cushion, a blanket or anything else you need to do yoga and relax deeply. If you eat, please eat something light before class as we will be doing a fairly physical set. A powerful PROSPERITY meditation will follow the yoga set as will a deep relaxation with the Gong. Tea served after class and you are all welcome to stay and enjoy the company of like souls. For more information, visit the website. Class by donation only ($15 recommended).

See you later!

SELF-DISCIPLINE AND THE ART OF BEING HAPPY

What are we up to tonight Thursday February 16?

"Drive your life like a car, and you will be fine. Use a signal to change lanes. Drive carefully and shift the gears as you face the day. Gas up the car and check the oil before you go, that is called Sadhana (daily spiritual discipline). It is a mental cleansing process, a tune-up to the point of elevation every day." - Yogi Bhajan

If you think that driving on auto pilot will get you where you want to go in life, then you have another thing coming! The very thing that gives you character, mental richness, and spiritual strength is the thing that will transform your life from ORDINARY to EXTRA-ORDINARY. It's called self-discipline and it can make all the difference in the world if you are aiming to be happy.

Everyone knows the old joke "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice, practice, practice". Practice is discipline and it's something that we try to teach our children from a very early age through music or dance lessons, athletic practice, and learning how to study. Through the development of these early habits we learn that "practice makes perfect" and that improvement, advancement, and excellence are always achieved through self-discipline. Whether you received lessons in your childhood or not, these habits are valuable in your life at any stage and can contribute to a life of joy.

"The greatest reward of doing sadhana is that the person becomes incapable of being defeated. Sadhana is a self-victory, and it is a victory over time and space. Getting up in the morning is a victory over time, and doing it (sadhana) is a victory over space." -Yogi Bhajan

Self-discipline is about making choices for yourself that serve the greatest good. That means overlaying a template for living that exercises your best self and enables you to interact with your friends, family, and professional life with grace and balance. At first, it may look like giving things up (like addictions or bad habits) but after a while, your body and mind crave to make better and better choices and so many of these "bad habits" drop away as your happiness increases. You are more apt to ACT than to REACT and you see things from a higher perspective.

"Service creates a permanent love and friendship. Self-discipline creates grace. And a neutral mind creates wisdom. These are the rules of life."- Yogi Bhajan

For some of us, self-displine means waking up in the *amrit vela before the sun rises and meditating...for others it may be saying "no" to recreational drugs, exercising more, drinking more water, or eating a vegetarian diet. For others, it may be practicing consciousness in ones actions or not saying anything negative for one day at a time. Whatever it is, it's a perfect choice for YOU and it helps you to grow in scope and magnitude and brings you to a state of self achievement, personal satisfaction, and happiness.

Tonight we will be doing a yoga set and meditation to activate that aspect in ourselves that makes the impossible, possible. This is an aspect in ourselves that enables us to transcend emotions and commotions of daily life and rise above it. It's our spiritual strength and mental richness that gives us this extra edge.

Come at 7:00 pm. Bring a blanket, mat, cushion and anything else you may need for your yoga practice. Yogi tea is always served. By donation ($15 recommended) Bring a friend and a desire to transform. Gong meditation always included. For more information visit the website. See you later alligator.

*In this period of calm and peace, before the 'hassle and bassle' of life, one can easily meditate on God and receive the Lord's divine blessing. In the Japji, Guru Nanak emphasises, the need of rising early for prayer. Due to the change of season and geographical location, AMRIT VELAA is likely to differ in various countries.

Early morning is called Amrit-Velaa, which means that it is the time to worship God. The most generous definition of Amrit-Velaa must be that it starts after midnight and ends around six in the morning, According to Yogi Bhajan, it is thought of as the 2.5 hours before sunrise.
