Prosperity Workshop at Terra Sky

Firstly I want to thank all who came to the Benefit for Haiti last weekend at Terra Sky, we raised $1800 and had a wonderful uplifting and healing Kundalini Yoga and Meditation class with a full room. It was magical. Reina and I enjoyed co teaching so much we're planning on doing it again.

This Sunday, Feb 7th, from 1:30pm to 3:30pm I'm teaching the powerful Subagh Kriya, a prosperity kriya to turn misfortune into fortune. This really is the Kriya to manifest whatever it is you need with grace and commitment. To register call Terra Sky at 908-277-0122.

Everything happens for us not to us

I fell on the ice in Vermont and broke my elbow. Not a very exciting story and one quickly forgotten except for the minor inconveniences of being temporarily one armed. However I've been trying to be the observer of my existence lately and so I didn't get too involved with the story of having a broken arm and all I could not do and instead set my intention to heal fully at the pace my body needed. I went on with my life and watched. My yoga classes were blessedly full the week after my accident and I found myself teaching instead of doing yoga and I learned the value of not doing. I found my students were able to fully own the practice when they did not have me to watch and by watching take them out of their own bodies and experience. It is by keeping our eyes closed and truly taking all attention deep within one's being that Kundalini helps us grow in awarenss and grace. We learn to understand through compassion our own human condition and forgive ourselves. I know that everything that happens happens for us and now to us, it is a benevolent universe. Dwell in God and befriend your soul. If you live in a world you preceive to be lacking in peace, be peaceful. If your world is devoid of love, act lovingly.
Love, light and peace to all,
Sat Nam,
Trish

New Year New Beginning


What a great opportunity the new year gives us to break free of the restrictive patterns of thought and behaviour that so many of us fall into. New Years gives us the opportunity and in some cases the excuse to pause for some much needed contemplation allowing us to question our thoughts and our behaviour, especially those negative thoughts that make us so unhappy and lead us to self destruct or self sabotage or just plain misery. It is at times like this that we have the opportunity to grow, to learn the life lessons uniquely our own or we can smother or avoid our true selves with more food/alcohol/sex/drugs/exercise/work, you choose. Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and to make the changes in our lives we need to be happy, to come home to ourselves, we must embrace and acknowledge all that we are right now. We do this with love, kindness and compassion for the human beings we are, showering our human selves with quantum forgiveness. As Yogi Bhajan said we are spiritual beings having a human experience and to use another famous quote "to err is human, to forgive divine".
I am eternally grateful to Yogi Bhajan for teaching us this ancient science, this coping mechanism of self realisation and it is with great joy that I continue to share these teachings. If you haven't yet taken a Kundalini class I invite you to not believe a word I say but to come have an experience that will lead you to your birthright.
"Happiness is your birthright" YB
Much love, light and prosperity,Sat nam,
Trish

International Day of Peace

I think I'm the most inconsistent blogger in the whole wide world of web writers. However I'm here now to tell you about September 21st, International Day of Peace. So designated by the UN with Yogi Bhajan as one of the founders of this great day. It is a time to think about peace and how to go about living in peace and affecting peaceful change wherever you are.
True, deep and lasting peace can only come from within. It is there in all of us we just don't always see it or feel it and as we live in a world that brings us plenty of news of war and hardship and doom and gloom and all things not peaceful it requires effort on our part to shift our focus and intention onto peace but we must do this and focus on what we want, not on what we don't want.
Why not have a little experiment of your own? Try not to create a peaceful home/workplace etc by urging others to change or by forcing yourself to hold your tongue but instead by recognizing the peace that is within by just being.
Yogi Bhajan gave us so many wonderful meditations to help us deal with the stresses of modern living and to help us evolve into conscious beings and I think this is one of his most beautiful.
As with any meditation is helps to find a quiet spot and a comfortable position to sit in. Your hands can be in Gyan Mudra or resting on your lap. Your eyes are closed and looking at your third eye.

Did you know?

Sat Nam all you Kundalinis,
Did you know that the web has a host of information for you to deepen your understanding and strengthen your commitment to your practice?
The ikyta.com website can help you find classes anywhere in the world so when you go on vacation you can check out a class in french or greek or japanese and yes, it's still Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo.
The Aquarian Times magazine has tons of info on yogic lifestyles, it includes kundalini kriyas with explanations, meditations and it always has a section from Prosperity Paths. Good to know these days.
All the music, manuals, yogi Tea and even the white yoga attire is available at spiritvoyage.com
Last but by no means least is the main website for Kundalini and that is the 3HO.com site, well worth browsing.

Much love and light,
Trish

Womens Camp Time

Women as a group are most sharp individuals. God has given them a second faculty in the brain to protect the child. A woman can be super obnoxious or super sweet and she can change in a moment. Man doesn't have the faculty. By nature he either lives in his testicles or in his head. He does not have the natural tendency to live in the center of his being. But woman always lives in the center and works both up and down. - Yogi Bhajan
