I stand up for my truth just as much as the writers of that web site stand up for theirs. I put them out there not without consequences. Maybe someone else will stumble onto that sight as I did and enjoy my blog post.
Conversely, they are not going to change my beliefs either.Īnd, looking at the series of other “related articles,” I came across another Kundalini Yoga blog that I ended up liking and following. They have their opinions and strong beliefs and I’m not going to change their minds. I decided I didn’t want to engage them at all. You are both right from each of your perspectives. Because they are right and you are right too. So by arguing with someone if you do not agree with their perspective of you, is pointless. And that is 100% correct for us from our life’s vantage point. Remember when we express our feelings and view point, we are doing so from OUR perspective. Then I remembered this quote from Elizabeth Peru that I had just moments before read in my internet surfing (we really are given everything we need, if we are open to seeing it): I was still about to politely contact them and ask them to remove the link to my blog from the bottom of their article, as I didn’t want to be associated with them. Life is not guaranteed by years or by time and space.Recognize the Other is You (Photo credit: Gurumustuk Singh) “Life must be lived moment after moment, breath after breath. We understand that memories of the past or concern for the future do not guarantee us presence. With practice we gain mastery over this process. The observation of the respiratory process is something that can be practiced in a simple way during daily life. It gives us daily the breathing praana which is a natural solution to calm the mind. People fall into the living circle of the mind and it is difficult to break this frantic cycle and establish a connection with the body’s natural rhythm. The volume of external information and the use of technology hinder self-observation and mindfulness for breathing. Life in society demands from us a high level of experience of and response to stimuli. Throughout life acquired habits and external environment change this rhythm. “Those who are suffering in life do not suffer because they are not wise.They are suffering because they are not using the Divine Wisdom, the wisdom of the praana.” – Yogi Bhajan.īabies when born are born with a slow, deep breath. It interferes with the quality of our thoughts, in the way we speak and act. The breath determines the states of the mind.
I observe that most people breathe very poorly and superficially. For this it was necessary to recognize my own breathing as a teacher, a guide, a sage. I realized that I needed to do something to achieve a new perspective on life. Talking a lot, watching myself little, caught in my own misfortune, with a low perception of reality. My awakening to the breath was something deep, and along with it came the perception of how I was living. The prana controls thirty trillion cells in our body, and every 72 hours it is completely renewed. It is the subtle element of breath that gives us life. The prana is the most powerful and creative force in existence.
I believe that many have heard of prana, but few know what this means. How incredible was my meeting with the presence, meeting my praana! This uneasiness did not allow me to establish a good connection with the physical body and spirit. Until then, I lived in an uncomfortable, anxious way, in existential drama, with many physical pains. I believe that my greatest discovery in this life was that of my own breathing. I’ve been sleeping, sleeping a deep sleep, the sleep of not being awake to consciousness.
