WHEN THE TIME IS ON YOU, START, AND THE PRESSURE WILL BE OFF

Sat Nam!

These 5 Sutras were given byYogi Bhajan in order to help us navigate through the Aquarian Age.

1. Recognize that the other person is you

2. Understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times

3. There is a way through every block

4. When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off

5. Vibrate the Cosmos, the Cosmos shall clear the path.

We will resume our exploration of these Five Aquarian Sutras by designating the next class THIS THURSDAY January 5th to "When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off".

There's no better time than the new year to get rolling on your resolutions, turning over a new leaf, out with the old and in with the new kind of thing. Many times we make promises to ourselves and then we find that we are stuck, or more often, we just can't get started. This class on January 5th will help you clear away your self-imposed road blocks and imagined disabilities that prevent you from "starting". Getting to you goal, whatever that may be, will be so much easier once you get going!

A body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion...unless an outside force acts upon said body. The law of inertia is a powerful one and energy, no matter in what form, is affected by this "law". If you are stuck and you want to move and are not moving, you are going to stay there and feel all kinds of things like guilt, anger, repressed emotion, self-hatred, blame, and all kinds of pressure... until you do something.

I remember a time in the not so recent past when I was feeling particularly powerless and immobile about a certain issue in my life. I kept feeling like i was a truck stuck in the mud just spinning my wheels and going no where. The more I "spun my wheels", the less I went anywhere and the pressure continued to mount. I spoke with a dear friend of mine about my predicament and she said "Why don't you just get out of the truck and walk?"

This was a revelation to me. You mean...I had the power to change the location of my feelings by doing something different than the behavior I was accustomed to that wasn't working? WOW!

Spinning your wheels and going nowhere is a perfect metaphor for being stuck...and if you have something you need to do and you can't seem to make it happen, just start walking in the direction you want to go. The law of inertia will keep you moving in your chosen direction... and with your INTUITION, your own personal GPS device, the momentum you initiate by STARTING, will get you there!

See you on January 5th!

RECOGNIZE THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS YOU

These 5 Sutras were given by Yogi Bhajan in order to help us navigate through the Aquarian Age.

1. Recognize that the other person is you

2. Understand through compassion or you will misunderstand the times

3. There is a way through every block

4. When the time is on you, start, and the pressure will be off

5. Vibrate the Cosmos, the Cosmos shall clear the path.

At last week's inaugural class, we delved into "there is a way through every block" which was perfect considering we had a major power outage and conducted the class in candlelight (not a bad thing, actually) without music, heat and creature comforts. I lit a fire and sang a capella. That's definitely taking the opportunity to find a way through a block if there ever was.

THIS WEEK we're going for Number One on the list. RECOGNIZE THAT THE OTHER PERSON IS YOU! Our yoga set and meditation will help you to experience this sutra on a profound and lasting level. Be prepared to merge into the group consciousness. If the reason we have relationships with others is to have a bigger experience of ourselves, then the other person gives us the chance to see who we are....good or bad, big or small. It is the symmetry of this reflection which is so compelling to us...and why relationships are such good teachers.

Let's start the ball rolling by paying attention to each other. Why do some people drive you crazy and push your buttons? Could it be that you are recognizing yourself in them? The same is true if you absolutely adore someone. Isn't it just the adorable in yourself that you are experiencing?

A perfect example of this is when we so-called fall in love with someone. When we are "in love" we think we are in love with another person, but the reality is that we are in love with ourselves... thanks to the reflection of ourselves that we see in the other person.

In order to experience this phenomenon we have to consciously observe, deeply listen, and open our hearts. And that's what we're up to tomorrow night in class.

This thursday and every thursday evening at 7:00pm, come for yoga, deep meditation, and stay for yogi tea. Bring a blanket, cushion, mat and even a friend. Recommended donation is $15. for more info visit the website.

Sat Nam,

Raghubir
