Fall 2011
Back in 1970, my parents sent me to the stage production of “Hair” for my high school graduation present. That glorious melody and those hopeful words of the Age of Aquarius song are forever etched in my musical databank. At the time, I did not realize that this phenomenon was a real-life happening.
Last year, while teaching a seven-month Project-Prosperity course, it “dawned” on me that I had been teaching the class from a Piscean perspective. We were studying The Law of Projection (“One must ask, and have clarity and vision of goal, to receive.”)
My plan was to repeat the exercise we had done in our first class and re-create our Living Vision Boards. Then, through a dream, it dawned on me that none of us could produce an accurate vision board for ourselves, all by ourselves – crystal clear vision and our true integrity depended upon a developed and functional group consciousness.
Having guided and witnessed nine different student’s processing throughout the course, I could see and feel how we needed the mirror of each other to be in the truth of who we truly are. Those Aquarian principles I had heard about had to apply now, or we were “lost in a jungle of our own” as Yogiji said. He taught us that “Piscean values work from the ego, concepts, control and penetration – spheres that create boundaries. Aquarian values have no boundaries – except Infinity.”
So now, it all made perfect sense, that we are energy bodies, linked to each other, and to the universe – we are co-creators with God! What matters is community, and the goal is that everybody gets elevated! We need each other to identify and support our unique gifts, as mine were shown to me by fellow yoga teachers and students who stepped up and helped me initiate and launch my yogic-tools business, which now serves students in 18 countries!
The Blink of an Eye
In retrospect, it feels like it all happened in a blink of the eye. With the support of my impromptu and gifted team, we developed a process that created a force and a momentum which now has a global effect. That Aquarian, co-operative energy grabbed me right up and swept me to the stars!
I learned that the Generating, Organizational and Delivery forces within the constellation of us, takes care of us. All I had to do was relax, “keep up” and just be me. How cool is that?
I feel so blessed to be here now, going, flowing in synchronicity with this shift, pivoting and adjusting my psyche to wrap around my highest destiny. It feels like a huge privilege, being in the light and awareness of it, and I’m having the time of my life!
By God’s grace, my service to the global community is based on sharing all the yogic tools which I acquired along the way. Here are a few of the extraordinary tools I use to maintain my consciousness and neutrality in serving through my ministry:
Shabd/Mantra: Naanak too, Lehnaa too hai, Guru Amar too veecharia. Gur dithaa taa man saadharia. Dhan dhan Raam Daas Guru, jin siriaa tinai savaaria. This shabd is helping me to maintain consistency in remembrance of my death, always asking myself what decision I will make in the three-second review of my life-video, after my pranic body collapses – did I fulfill the purpose for which I came to earth?
Guru is the “default setting” on the computer of my life. Every day, I bring my love and loyalty, and offer my head, placing my 3rd eye and arc line at
Guru’s feet, downloading and activating the Master’s subtle-body embrace upon me – calling home to the One, not bound by time and space, doing my part in keeping our connection alive and vibrant.
Connecting with Mission
SSEk Ong Kaar Kaur’s translation of Anand Sahib, Song of Bliss is a perfect tool for connecting to the life-force of Guru Amar Das’ mission – to be the home of the homeless, strength of the weak, shelter of the poor. I welcome everybody and keep my antenna open for reception from those in need of a boost – “Go into the dirt and forklift people,” as Yogiji taught us.
Recognize the other person is you is my constant focus; judgment drops when I “go there” – life is mutual.
I hold deep respect for Newton’s Law of Force/Movement – for every sequence initiated, there is an equal and opposite reaction – this tool has a life of its own.
Exercising an Attitude of Gratitude is crucial!
I tweak a Living Intention Board, keeping it alive – I AM NOT THE DOER, I AM THE SEE-ER. IF I CAN SEE IT, THE GOD IN ME WILL DO IT.
I teach, teach, teach – celebrating and holding the reins of Yogi Bhajan’s mission, spreading these marvelous and powerful technologies. I am fuel-injected by a passionate and joyous impulse as an Aquarian teacher.
Surely, you can feel the joy of my soul coming into alignment with WAHE GURU, having chosen the honor and absolute grace of being a minister of Sikh Dharma in this time and age. THE AQUARIAN AGE ROCKS and I am in my glory!
