“Itarashtam tithar Kashtam – empty handed you come, empty handed you go. It’s a law which should never be broken. And you should (as a teacher) share freely, but never receive a student who comes empty handed – that’s the law. If a person shall come empty handed, that person may sit here for six hours and do all kinds of yoga, but the moment he goes out of that door, he’ll go empty handed. That’s the only condition, and it’s not up to you or me.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
Wow! – this yoga’s session is quite a bit different than the usual….a Q&A session ~ a wonderful change indeed! ~ a chance to ask Seva Yogi! 🙂
~ I’ve been listening in to today’s insightful and interesting discourses and questions and answers and it is quite nice! – im learning a little bit more day after day ~ As we alll are….each day is a brand new beginning, a new chance to explore, discover…and experience ~
HAHAA!! – laughed at the “heavy metal” bit there…..HEY! – i also used to play as well…(i think we guitarrista go thru that phase) — but i still like to shred every once in a while for fun! 😉
~ I also loved how you were talking about the effect of our consciousness in the world…..how our own resonance affects those around us…..and the cosmos ~ I’ve always known this on a deeply spirit level…..I remember when i used to gaze into the stars above at night…..in deep meditation…..i would feel at a deep level….as if almost my consciousness connected w/ the consciousness of the universe…..i felt someone so ineffable to human comprehension…….pure love ~
I also heard….in an article….how powerful emotions have an effect on the earth’s magnetic field….even by a slight bit – can be detected scientifically ~ in moments of global turmoil and significant world events that affect millions…..what we are feeling at that moment radiates outward ~ (our collective consciousness radiating….our aura….electromagnetic field) — amazing strufff!!!!
I do have a question……about qi……As i’ve experienced for months while receiving medical qi gong…and practicing qi gong myself as taught by acupuncturist — at times i could feel the sublte changes of qi manifesting in my neurochemistry…..and the relief i feel in my overall well being — even from a distance (my acupuncturist channeling the qi) ~ and sometimes just by a single touch….it’s truly extraordinary ~
I can also feel things shifting around inside me afterwards…sometimes would take longer…..also those changes can be felt in my mind…moodwise and cognitive-wise…..
How is Qi, emotions, neurochemistry & mind are related exactly? — I still have a hard time explaining what i experience at time….I’ve heard that im just more receptive to it than the average person ~
I’ve also noticed, my intuitive abilities are there — as i sense some “red flags” — something teeling me that it’s not right or good — and i would feel it as inner tension, stress….(i remember this happening to me a few weeks ago meeting up w/ someone i was goign to work together with…..i sensed a “red flag” prior to making plans…..i found out afterwards my hunches were right) — weird stuff!
Also – one quikie i thought id mention after experiencing them….what is your view on “false awakenings”? — when u wake up in your dreams but are still dreaming……I’ve had this happen a few nights ago when i felt i was levitating and was moving around my room and opening my door…went back to bed and then i really woke up ~
My pops had a similar experience…he felt like he fell out of bed when he really didnt? — hmmm……
What a pleasure! Thank you Seva for the elevating moments – nourishing the soul ! ~
Also, I did reflect upon your message on The authentic self ~ I have found in many ways my life journey has been in part to find and know my authentic self ~ In our world that runs, to a large extent, on labels, falsehoods, misconceptions .. seeking one’s authentic self can be a great challenge ~
My question is – is it best to “silence” my opinions when I find myself confronted with someone who I feel has false views and values based on outside influences?? ~ I find there are times I have a tendency to say nothing in those types of situations in order to avoid conflict … but on the other hand there are times I voice my opinion in a delicate way ~ (In the times I speak up .. I have lost friends but I have gained other friends.. feeling it is more important to be true to myself and who I am than to try and please everyone ~)
Thank you, Seva, for your light on this beautiful Sunday morning ~
Blissfully! ~ Coralina ~
AWW SHOOT!!!!! – no record…..
silly Seva….:P
An afterthought to share ~ This morning there is a lovely song-bird outside my window and it made me think of yoga class ~ The sweet song-bird is greeting the morning with the sweetest song .. that sounds just like one of the instruments Seva shared in Sunday’s yoga class! The instrument described as the most difficult to play! ~
Beautiful day ~
