Sat Nam and Greetings! 

 

Spring is finally here, a time full of promises, what a great time for growth and renewal. A time for renewing our commitment to a higher purpose.

 

We welcomed the spring this year with a beautiful event at YogaSpace in Brookfield, Connecticut. We celebrated the equinox and the Full Moon in a lovely Kundalini Yoga Immersion which included lots of yoga, meditation, gong, live music and kirtan with special guest Harnam Singh, a talented musician and KY teacher.

It is always such a joy to witness the happy faces and the higher vibrations people create in these gatherings. The bond we create through the power of intention, raised awareness, yoga, chanting, singing, meditating and the worshiping of love and truth is so uplifting, healing and transformative that it really seems like magic...yet it is just the enchanting power of the spirit.

 

We are all awakening. Most of you have already awakened. You are conscious of having a consciousness and are consciously evolving your consciousness. Less than one percent of the population has entered this state, you are on the forefront...you are at the lead of this evolutionary leap in human consciousness that is sweeping the planet.

 

Everything you experience is teaching you something about your Self, and is guiding you to fulfill your life purpose. Here are some tips to keep this evolution process going...

 

10 Tops Tips for a Healthy, Happy and Holy lifestyle 

  1. Practice lots of Kundalini Yoga
  2. Attend a workshop or Immersion once a month if possible
  3. Develop a personal sadhana
  4. Participate in group sadhana
  5. Follow a healthy diet, ideally vegetarian and balanced
  6. Make sure you smile, laugh and play everyday
  7. Engage in selfless service activities in your community
  8. Use your words ONLY to praise, bless and uplift others
  9. Spend some time in silence every day and in nature
  10. Love yourself with all your heart, mind and soul

Sincerely and warmly,

Akalsukh Singh~

 

 

Guru Nanak and the prostitute... 

 

Guru Nanak is the founder teacher of the Sikh Dharma.

In this story two men who are neighbors and good friends hear that Guru Nanak is in town. They decide to avail themselves of this opportunity and set out to see him. As they are walking, they notice a very attractive prostitute. One of the men decides that she is much more interesting than the Guru is going to be, so he goes off with her.

 

The other man proceeds to visit Guru Nanak. Each day the men follow this pattern: the one goes off with the prostitute and the other proceeds to see Guru Nanak. One day, the man who has been visiting the prostitute receives a valuable gold coin. That same day, the man who has been visiting Guru Nanak has his hand pricked with a large, painful thorn.

 

 The man who has just had his hand hurt goes to Guru Nanak and asks why he has just been punished and his friend has just been rewarded. Guru Nanak laughs and says, "Your friend was supposed to have received a large fortune, but because of the way of he has been behaving, that fortune has been reduced to a single coin. You were supposed to have been impaled, but because of your devotion, that has been reduced to the mere prick of the hand."

 

Remembering we are spirits having a human experience, meditating and living with devotion are ways to lighten our lives, release the burdens and achieve joyful prosperity. But these things  do not prevent the experience of pain....pain is part of the deal that goes with human embodiment.

 

Use the techniques of Kundalini Yoga to allow the Universe to bless you in unexpected ways. Allow miracles to happen. Allow yourself to prosper. Know that you are worthy...but do not judge how well you are doing by comparing yourself with others. Results DO vary with individuals. Be you. You are valuable, and your experience is valuable too...all of it.

 

 

Excerpted from Yoga for Prosperity by Siri Kirpal Khalsa 

 

April with the Spring blooming brings a variety of opportunities to expand your spiritual family and meet new like minded people that share a common goal of becoming healthy, happy and holy.

 

Yogi Bhajan used every conceivable technology to penetrate the psyche and awaken the consciousness - breath, posture, gong, music, dance, mantra, meditation, humor and profound wisdom. He truly was a Master.

 

Come try for yourself some of these profound and transformative techniques, give yourself a chance, and experience the challenges and ecstasy of Kundalini Yoga to the fullest.

 

I look forward to seeing you soon!

The Moon rules the pituitary gland, master of the glandular system, which in turn is linked to the akashic record- the part of the collective psyche where everything that has ever been is recorded. Actually the Moon center, or pituitary gland controls the whole reproductive process. Our sexual force constitutes ninety percent of our immune system energy, and that force is ruled by the Moon. The mastery of that force can contribute to spiritual growth...


Anyone who takes the phase of the Moon under consideration in any spiritual operation will have nothing but success...read more

  Clearing Past Relationships 

Come focus on the yogic teachings for women and men about "falling in love" and auric imprints. The imprint in the woman can last for years or even her entire lifetime; in males it is about one cycle of the moon.

 

Using the science of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, we will share techniques that help remove auric imprints from the past and strengthen the heart, allowing us to energize our current relationships while setting the stage for new, good feeling relationships in the future. read more

"Adding Sadhana to my practice has helped me make breakthroughs in my yoga and in my life.  During the forty days, I noticed less distracting thoughts and reactions and a completely neutral mind opening up the channels to manifest my ideas and goals without any mental obstructions. Sadhana allows you to observe yourself and create the space between thoughts, words, and actions. It's a big commitment to yourself that will bring you to self realization.  Keeping that discipline mentally and physically gave me so much personal power , positivity and energy .After  40 days of Akalsukh's supportive encouragement and your own hard work, you won't want to give up the benefits of this personal experience.
"Heidi Camutti-Verona NJ

  "I love Kundalini Yoga. I was looking for the connection between my body, mind and soul and I got it! Kundalini Yoga group practice, and the 40-day coaching experience with Akalsukh, gave me much needed self-discipline and now I spend most of my time in the state of positive thinking. My life is full of energy (without drinking 5-7 cups a coffee a day - Yogi Tea is a great substitute!). 
Sometimes I laugh because I feel like my mind is as old as I am but my body feels 20 years younger. My 8 pound weight loss in 40 days is an extra bonus. I am now committed to continue daily practice..."

No matter what your reasons for scheduling a personalized Kundalini Yoga session, Akalsukh will begin with an assessment of how you are feeling at that moment, both physically and mentally.

This interview is also an opportunity for you to express your goals and desires. Based on his assessment, Akalsukh determines which Kriyas, breathing exercises (pranayam) and meditation techniques are best  to lead you through.

A good personalized Yoga session depends on uninhibited communication between the student and teacher. Kundalini Yoga can be hard work both physically and mentally. Therefore, patience and sensitivity set the pace for progress.
Often Akalsukh uses his knowledge in Tantric Numerology to customize even more the classes and match on a deeper level your needs. Find out more here
