How fast is time really going?

Remember when you were a kid (anytime before the 90′s) when time would seem to go on forever? Slowly the hours and days would pass. Almost in a painful way. Long summer days just hanging out forever with you best friend, under a shady tree, talking a laughing and doing it all over again the next day. Maybe a pick up a game of baseball, kick ball? The other day my 16 year old son told me he can’t believe that the school year is almost over. (Trust me, he’s happy about it) ”Mom, it went by so fast! We need to start thinking about colleges, SAT’s, essays……” He wasn’t quite panicked but was trying to wrap his hed around the fact that the school year is gone. What a bummer, that these kids are not able to slow things down. I thought to myself, it’s not just the adults effected by the pace in which time is speeding by. It’s everyone one of us.
We all need the tools to figure out how to put the brakes on before we crash. And believe me, there is plenty of crashes going on. Let’s be more conscious. Breath, meditate, yoga. Something. 5 or 10 minutes a day to start. Put some “tools” in that tool box, so when you do crash, you can fix it up.
Pain-Body

How many have been reading Eckhart TolleNew Earth? I just finished the chapter on the Pain-Body and I keep thinking about it. It’s too much to go into here. But what I did take from it that I can simply share is pay attention to the drama in your life. Are you drawn to it? Are youseeking it? Eckhart says our egos feed on it. I get this. If you haven’t pick this book up, get it. Keep doing our Ego eradicator exercise. Arms up at 60 degrees, fingers on the pads of you hand and thumbs are straight up…breath of fire.
Keep up, so you can be kept up!

Hey guys, don’t worry about perfection with the Grace of God meditation. You are going to get it.
I fell asleep last night before doing the second round..ugh! A bit upset about that but I let it go and started again today. I’ve been doing this meditation for a couple weeks now, it gets easier. Yes, yor mind will wander, just bring it back, focus on the mantra and the breath…bring it back again and again and again. That’s the way it goes sometimes. Other days you will be right there with it.
Let’s keep up and share you experieces here with your comments!
Many Teachers
04 May 2008 Leave a Comment
I’ve had many teachers in the 12 years I’ve been practicing Kundalini Yoga and they have all taught me something different which I am grateful to them all. My first teacher Leila Joseph introduced my to Kundalini Yoga. I had no clue but quickly caught on that this was special. She taught one class a week in the evening and my now 16 year old son Sam, then 1 years old, insisted on nursing just as I was about to leave to the class which was just down the street. It wasn’t working out and I stopping going to class.
It was three years later, I had move from the city to the burbs that I found Mary Roberts class. Armen my now 13 year old was 1year old at the time and nursed quickly and was happy. Again, this class was just down the street and I would run to make the class by 7 PM. Mary had us chant one day in class “God and me, me and God, all are One” . Changed me forever. This was all so new to me but I was beginning to get it!
Mary moved to Colorado and Guruatma Singh Khalsa took the class over. Guruatma was my teacher for 10 beautiful years. He taught me how to how to see my grace, my radiance and the adi shakti. He taught me to see the limitless of my being. He taught me the meaning of Yoga. He taught me how to be a teacher. And I love him dearly for all he has taught me.
In between those wonderful teachers, I was fortunate to take many classes with Yogi Bhajan. The master of KundaliniYoga. Each one of his workshops and lectures I felt was directed to me. A message for me to hear. Yogi Bhajan said if you want to Master Kundalini Yoga, teach it. So hear I sit, praying that I will be the teacher I hope to be. A teacher that will elevate her students, poke them and challenge them just a bit so that they can spiritually grow. With the Grace of God, I know I will.
