Peaceful Passage

Sat Nam!

Reiki Level Two is being offered in Sterling VA this Saturday from 5-9pm.

Reiki is a Japanese healing art that enables you to channel healing energy through your hands. In level two we are learning three sacred symbols that enable you to heal through space and time, long distance and remote healing and to heal deep seated emotional issues on yourself and others.

The course will be held at the Sterling Yoga Center at 6 Export Dr. Sterling, VA.

Please feel free to contact Lisa/Devinder Kaur if you plan on attending, so that she can prepare materials for you.

Sat Nam!

On July 20th I will be teaching a workshop called Finding Your Voice.
It will consist of kundalini yoga sets and meditations for opening
and expanding the throat chakra. We will also chant together to live
musical accompaniment.

Through my experience of doing these yoga sets and meditations, I have
grown in awareness and effectiveness in communicaiton as well as
singing ability. You don't have to be a musician or even sing in key
to benefit from learning to use the sound current to heal and draw
love and prosperity into your life.

I am very blessed to have come in contact with these teachings and am
honored to share them with you!

The workshop will be held at 6 Export Dr., Sterling VA. We will start
at 3pm and go until 6pm.
Please feel free to call me with any questions you have:

Guru Dev Singh, the only person Yogi Bhajan designated as a sant or saint, will return to Virginia this weekend

He will be teaching a Sat Nam Rasayan Healing Intensive this Sunday, July 13th from 10am-5. Pre-registration ends tomorrow so we can get an accurate count for the vegetarian meal which is included. Space is very limited since it will be at Darshan's Home studio, so please register right away if you want to attend this course. Please call or email to pre-register.
Guru Dev Singh will also teach a Meditation / Yoga Class on Monday evening, July 14, from 7-9 at the Sterling Yoga Center, 6 Export Drive Sterling, VA. The class will focus on Managing Anxiety and Addictions. In this special meditation and yoga class, Guru Dev Singh teaches yogic tools to deal with anxiety and cope with our challenging and changing world. To manage and release anxiety , we need to experience Shunia, the inner silence. This experience alone allows you to observe with clarity the waves of sensations, feelings, and thoughts to recognize the moment where your are pulled into the drama of addictive tendencies and anxiety. Anxiety affects the quality of your life. Chronic anxiety affects your relations with other people as it decreases tolerance and flexibility in daily life and stifles creativity. Let the meditations taught in this class give you an experience of deep clam and non-reaction.

Participation is by pre-registration by July 13th. If you want to attend, please contact Darshan Kaur at 703-742-9642 or email back to this email address.

The Teacup

There was a couple who used to go to England to shop in the beautiful stores. This was their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups.

One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said 'May we see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful.' As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke.

'You don't understand,' it said. 'I haven't always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, let me alone,' but he only smiled and said, 'Not yet.'

'Then I was placed on a spinning wheel,' the teacup said, 'and suddenly I was spun around and around and around.'

'Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!' I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet.'

'Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled, and I knocked at the door.'

'I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as he shook his head and said, 'Not yet.'

'Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool.'

'There, that's better,' I said. 'And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag.' 'Stop it, stop it!' I cried. He only nodded and said, 'Not yet.'

'Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head, saying, 'Not yet.'

'Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, 'Look at yourself and I did.'

'That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful and I'm beautiful,' I said.

'I want you to remember, then,' came his reply, 'I know it hurt to be rolled and patted, but if I just left you, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I know it hurt and it was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened.'

'You would not have had any colour in your life, and if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are now what I had in mind when I first began with you.'

I have a faery by my side
Which says I cannot sleep,
When once in pain I loudly cried
It said, "You must not weep."

If, full of mirth, I smile and grin,
It says, "You must not laugh;",
When once I wished to drink some gin
It said "You must not quaff."

When once a meal I tried to taste
It said "You must not bite;"
When to the wars I went in haste
It said, "You must not fight."

"What may I do?" at length I cried,
Tired of the painful task.
The faery quietly replied,
And said, "You must not ask."

Moral: "You mustn't"

PART ONE:



PART TWO:



PART THREE:

What Lisa Means

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What Devinder Means

You are balanced, orderly, and organized. You like your ducks in a row. You are powerful and competent, especially in the workplace. People can see you as stubborn and headstrong. You definitely have a dominant personality. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

Ah, the Holy-Days have nearly come to an end...but we still have till New Years Eve to begin thinking about releasing any old negative patterns and prepare for a fresh start in the new year.

It's been a few days since White Tantric and I've decided to eat a cleansing diet accompanied by a meditation for 40 days to keep this wonderful clarity with me as long as possible and also to keep opening and growing.

Last year I decided to try and attend one White Tantric Yoga for each season. Of course there is Summer and Winter Solstice, and we host one here in the fall, so for the spring I was thinking of going to New York. It should be great. To find out more about it and see if there are any in your area: www.whitetantricyoga.com.

It seems that I am not the only one who is benefiting from this shift in consciousness. Everyone around me seems more friendly and happy. Maybe it's just all the junk I let go of, but I am very much enjoying the change.

I'm making a recipe from the Golden Temple Cook Book right now, it smells so yummy! Mung beans and mustard greens....yum. Oh yes, and more yogi tea. :)

The pictures are being developed and should be ready by Friday, I'm as anxious as you are to see what turns out..!

Love,

Devinder Kaur

Had a most excellent winter solstice down in Florida.

All is well.

Much love and blessings for the new year.

While some may question your philanthropic actions as being founded in religious indoctrination rather than honest generosity, they have no appreciation for the most popular religion in the history of mankind. You will never get laid which is supposedly a choice for you, but when you're that fucking ugly, it's questionable. Secretly, you find miters to be very arousing. </td> Mother Teresa 100% C.G.

But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.
