Sosieji's Weblog

Sometimes I will share a note from Guru Singh’s e-mails.  They are all wonderful, but, what he is saying here is all that I experience and wondering if you do to?   I love a good, lively discussion and debate, but more and more  I prefer to life through my experiences, of which I can choose.  I Hope you have an experience today that ignites you towards your destiny, your true happiness!

Much love,
Sosie

Where you are actually located right now in this life is what is referred to as your fate. . . the actual conditions and consciousness and emotions and thoughts of this very accurate — yet un-progressed and un-regressed — moment.

Your destination in this life . . . the reality of who you ultimately are— who you can become through all your activated options — is referred to as your destiny.
The journey of a human life is to travel from where you are— your fate — to who you are — your destiny.

Most people consciously or unconsciously distract themselves from living in either of these locations. They are neither where they are, or who they are, but a chaotic mixture of being distracted from the actualities of fate and doubting the possibilities of destiny. All this while life — patiently and dutifully — waits on some parallel track . . . waiting for consciousness to awaken to at least one of these opportunities.

The process of destiny has forever . . . the awakening however, will take place in a single given moment . . . welcome its arrival with all your heart and with every breath. Your destination in this life . .  the reality of who you ultimately are,  who you can become through all your activated options is referred to as your destiny. The journey of a human life is to travel from where you are, your fate, to who you are — your destiny.

Emotions can completely altar our perspective.   Yogi Bhajan would tell us “emotion causes commotion”.   I can very much appreciate what a neutral mind is capable of. We can see it in the clarity it brings Dr. Spock! But it’s the highs and lows that interest me. The lack of balance. 

I think the most powerful emotion is fear.  When it comes to a prosperous, successful and beautiful life, fear itself is the deal breaker.  I’ll fess up.  Right now, my place of fear is with my kids.  They are doing fine, but on occasion I worry. I can notice when fear grips me and I back away from it before I become a total lunatic.  But even being  conscious of that emotion, my fear affects my kids: ”Does she think I can’t be productive, successful or happy”?  “Does she think something is wrong with me?”  “Is something wrong with me?”  It’s not good.  For myself, I just try to breath into it and let it go on the exhale.  Get my head out of it and just connect with my breath and trust everyone will be fine.  (That trust is another subject!)

So for today, let go of fear and replace it with a more inspiring emotion!  And practice it again tomorrow…

Many blessings,
Sosie

Monday evening I taught a class to help us build a Foundation to Infinity. It was a great set of exercises. To able to have an experience of boundlessness and infinity is not a bad prospect. I will continue teaching this set at my other classes this week and invite you to have your own experience. The set of exercises is very doable. The meditation at the end of the set is powerful. We will chant with the mantra Har Har Mukanday. Har is the creative aspect of the creator and Mukunday is the liberating aspect of the self. Together Har Har Mukunday helps to turn challenges into gifts. The power of the mantra will help to remove fears. When we remove those fears with the protective mind still very much alive we can begin to build that Foundation to Infinity. We often talk about challenges and how they can be looked at as gifts and that our fears will only limit our potential. That’s all talk and our intellect understand that. But how do we actually practice that?? How do we experience challenges as gifts? Here we have an actual set of exercises that was given to us to help us, from a physical standpoint to release and expand! No talking involved! We will work up a nice sweat, chant a bit and become boundless.

There are times in life when it’s going pretty well. It’s all good, right? But we know it doesn’t stay that way and there will be another shift accompanied with it’s challenge(s). When that happens, don’t freak about but don’t’ ignore it either. This is our opportunity to demonstrate what we have learned in this life and to bring the strength of your practice into everyday life. Sat Nam~Your Truth. And remind yourself that’s it’s not all about you. Your growth will impact more people than you know!

The challenge could be related to health, job, relationships, family, fiances, you name it. It doesn’t really matter, it’s just a vehicle by which we move forward. Within all of us there is a great strength that we can access to keep up with life, not to hide from it. Life is tough for a lot of people right now. Let’s all keep up and ride it out. If things are really good, great. If things are challenging right now, great. And if you are somewhere in between that delicate but very comfortable balance, GREAT! Much love, Sosie ~ Hari Kirin Kaur This week in class we will work on achieving equilibrium: Balancing the energies in our bodies. This kriya will bring equilibrium to the entire glandular system.

Two very important things you need to have to reach your goals. 1. Set your intention. Call out clearly what your goal/desire is. 2. Be consistent and show the greatest of discipline in reaching them. We practice this in every class. Holding your arms up, stretch pose, breath of fire, 56 Frogs. You go for it in class and you show a lot of grit, strength and courage. Bring it into you daily life experience. Every single day.

It’s time for some Green Energy Prosperity! Begin to acknowledge Flow within your life. Have a gracious openness and acceptance of your own personal truth. Allow yourself to let go of the things that no longer serve you and make room for all those wonderful opportunities that are waiting for you. Please join me tomorrow (Friday) at Village Green Yoga for one of my very favorite Kriya’s. Green Energy Prosperity! We’ll breath powerfully, sweat, chant, and deeply relax. If life has gotten too crazy and you’ve been away from class, now is the time to come back and connect with that flow that exisits in us all! I am not defining prosperity in terms of money. Though that is a component of it. I see prosperity as a shower of all the brilliant and exciting opportunities that come to us. That can certainly be in the form of currency (current~flow…) but it can also be the wealth of your relationships and the richness of your own life journey. Yogi Bhajan would say to us you can chase it, run all out to catch it. Completely exhaust yourself (which we all do!) or….you can be a beautiful, graceful and intuitive being and let it come to you. Prctice that Flow. This is not really a passive attitude. It’s actually quite active, but not exhausting! You still need to work hard but you also need to develope the intuition to see what is right before you and seize it!
