Energetic Update

Krishan — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:37:06 +0000

You may have noted that it has been a while since my last post about Teacher Training. I’ve been meaning to post, but have been busy with life transition as a result of the training. This shift implies putting my energy into the new patterns of my life and the updates here was one place I waited on until other items were in order.

I am coming into adaptation of the new energy of my life.

I’ve completed my 40 day Meditation to Conquer Self Anomosity. It was a powerful experience to complete this. One thing I learned about myself was that there was a part of me that truly felt, and sometimes still feels, as if I am unable to do “good enough.” This is the self anomosity part, the meditation brought this piece of me to my waking consciousness, and in doing so I am able to move through this perspective. I am way good enough, in fact I excel at most everything I do.

I did have an irony associated with completing this practice. The day after the last day of the 40 day meditation I had a teacher training class. However, the roads from here to Chicago were terrible and I was unable to make it for safety reasons. I was really upset about not being able to be there. I felt like I some what let the class and my teachers down, even though I knew it was for my own safety. I became angry, you guessed it, with myself. It was really challenging for me because the group energy provides a sense of security to assist through the transformation process we are all taking on together yet individually. It was with some kind discussions with my wife Jamie that I was able to overcome the feelings I felt that day of disappointment with myself for not going. At the end of the day God placed a dangerous road in front of my to get to Chicago, so that I wouldn’t go, He has His reasons for this, and mySelf must simply roll with it and accept them.

You know this group energy is interesting, just prior to Christmas was the Solstice celebration in Florida. Severa of my fellow class mates attended along with our instructors. I wanted to go, but it simply was not in the cards this year. I am hopeful for next Summer Solstice. The interesting thing is that in the days leading up to Christmas, one day I felt an enormous amount of energy running through me, as if I were doing a bunch of Kundalini Yoga, and the next I became really tired. It seemed to me as if since a part of my group consciousness (our class) was experiencing Solstice, that in fact a part of me was experiencing it as well. Which was very cool. If we take this perspective and extend it to Humanity as a whole, just imagine the good we can do for one another!

I am very excited to get back to class this coming weekend!

There is lots of great work ahead, I’ll be sure to keep ya posted

Spirits Awaken Morning Kundalini Yoga Class

Krishan — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 21:52:04 +0000

Beginning in the new year I’ll be teaching a Spirits Awaken Morning Kundalini Yoga Class, as taught by Yogi Bhajan at the Perfect Knot Yoga Center on the near east side of Madison WI.

A morning practice is a cornerstone to growth and development.

Class canceled due to low enrollment.

Kundalini Yoga helps:

Strengthen the nervous system
Improve mental balance and reduce stress
Increase flexibility and improve the circulatory system
Expand lung capacity and strengthen the glandular system
Eradicate emotional blocks that manifest as muscle tension
Deepen the mind, body, spirit connection

All this before the demands of your daily life are upon you.

Beginners are most welcome to attend as well as intermediate. And if there are some advanced students out there who would like a group to practice with in the morning, then this course is for you.

It was challenging getting enough people to sign up in the morning class at this time. Check back later and I will be sure to release a new teaching schedule.

Lower Back Pain Exercises in Yoga

Basic Spinal Energy Series

Begins: Thu, 06 Sep 2007 at 11:30 AM

Ends: Wed, 05 Sep 2007 at 12:30 PM

Location:

2820 Walton Commons

Madison, WI 53703

Okay, I admit the class will focus on more than just lower back pain exercises. In fact the entire spinal column will get a good workout through this yoga set (kriya.)

Lower back pain tends to be an item that many people deal with, from office workers to construction workers, we could all use some exercises to work with our lower back pain.

I realize that this is called a basic spinal series, but there is nothing basic about this class. It provides a scientific exercise approach to the lower back and more. The yogis say that age can be measured based on the flexibility of ones spine. At first this may come off as rather off the wall. But let’s think deeper on this. Our spinal column is the encasement for our central nerve channel. This means that the balance of the bodies messages, in the nervous system, are carried throughout this channel. What is age, other than a slowing down of system processes, the nervous system being of primary importance.

So in this class we will be focusing on the lower back and working our way up our spine.

I’ve recently read that many people experience greater mental clarity after stepping through this kriya.

I do hope you can join me or find a class near you sometime!
