Our Theme for September and October
 |
Oneness of Heart |
| Come to KYL during the next eight weeks to experience something we call the ‘Oneness of Heart.’ Yoga and meditation often brings you to a feeling of completeness, of wholeness and of truth. This is the connection to ‘all that is’ that yogis have been speaking about for millennia. It is that feeling of connectedness to something larger than our ‘self’ that can provide a touchstone of peace during our busy day-to-day lives. We hope to see you often during the months of September and October to experience the larger sense of ‘Self’ available through ‘Oneness of Heart.’

Healing Power of Triple Gong and Mantra
 |
with Shakta Kaur, Sanjam Singh, and Hari Dev Singh
Friday, September 11
6:30
pm to 7:45 pm
($15 in advance)
|
Join us on Friday night, September 11 (also October 16), for our
monthly session of the ‘Healing Power of Gong and Mantra.’ This will be a very special Healing Power of Gong and Mantra on the eighth anniversary of the 9/11/01 attack on America. On this evening of remembrance we heal ourselves, the planet and, at the same time, we will send healing energy, protection and kindness to anyone who continues to react from the pain of this day eight years ago.
Each month 40+
beautiful souls gather at KYL to celebrate this once-per-month experience that
was recently described as ‘exquisite.’ We begin each ‘Healing Power of Gong and Mantra’ evening
with light Kundalini Yoga and then move into deep relaxation
with not one, not two, but three
Paiste symphonic gongs. (Your mind will have no defense to the
gong after 90 seconds!) After the gong we use primal sounds (mantra) to
remind us that the entire universe was built on sound, on vibration. We
tune into a particular combination of sounds in mantra to tune into and achieve
a different level of consciousness.
Come heal yourself and others at KYL’s ‘Healing Power of Gong and Mantra.’

Yogi Bhajan Lecture - "Attack on America"
 |
"Attack on America" |
| "You must have watched the tragedy, right? So it came true, that it is only one thought which makes an enemy. It is the thought of animosity against the openness of the United States. We do not know how many people have died, but actually the heading on TV that “America Is Under Attack” was correct. This is first time in the world that civilians have been attacked. Every rule has been broken...

Whether your concern is business, relationships
or personal mastery, tapping your own resources and clearing
limiting mental or emotional patterns is what you need. To excel
you must relate to your own mind and spirit. Each action must
come from your whole heart for there lies the power and
uniqueness of your presence, the signature of your being. An
elevated self is the only inescapable condition for happiness
and top performance.
Gurucharan Singh’s expertise in
psychology, physiology, yoga and meditation allows him to tailor
a program that leverages your uniqueness and your own pattern or
strengths and weaknesses to provoke healing, change and growth.
Meditations and exercises will increase vitality and clear
subconscious patterns that have blocked you in the past. Let
Gurucharan Singh raise your awareness and guide you to
consciously master your mental and emotional processes.

Yoga Trance Dance
 |
Friday - September 25
6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
with Maia Bielak

Yoga Trance Dance® is a yogic practice which combines yoga and
dance to call you back into your body. Starting with prana yogaasanas (breath driven movement) Yoga Trance Dance® establishes a
safe and sacred space for your creative energy to flow. Learn to
experience the practice of free-form movement while you clear your
mind and more naturally relate to your essence, the life force
within. The focus is not on your performance. The focus is on
cultivating the moment... each moment... this moment... through an
exploration of the eternal flow of natural movement.

New Moon
The New Moon is when you are at your lowest...energy-wise. It is
a good day to fast on lemon and water. Fast from sun-up until the
next morning at breakfast, when you "break" the "fast."
Waxing Moon
... is the time between the New Moon and the day before the Full
Moon. During this time the energy of the body moves into your higher
centers (chakras). This is the time to bring new things, new people
or new relationships into your life or to accelerate the progress
of your special projects.
11 Days After
New Moon
Yogi Bhajan taught that this is the day when you are in balance.
The glandular system readjusts itself on this day. Your metabolism
is changing, so if you eat very lightly (green foods) or if you
live just on water and lemon today, your health will be perfect.
Eat very lightly during the day. Eat only one meal and drink lemon
and water the rest of the day.
Full Moon
You are naturally accelerated on a full moon. You are at your highest
energy level. The secretions in your body will be at their maximum,
so you don't want your energy being used to consume food. Save your
energy to reconstruct yourself. Try to drink only liquids on this
day. If you feel you must eat, drink only milk. (But, don't drink
cold milk right out of the refrigerator. Milk should be brought
to a boil. Allow the milk to foam up and then bring the heat down
so the milk is on a slow boil for 5-10 minutes. While cooking it,
you may add a pinch of ground turmeric, a pinch of black pepper,
a cinnamon stick, or a few pinches of ginger to reduce any mucous
causing side effect.)

A Thought From Yogi Bhajan
"
Your power resides in your discipline. When you combine the elementary power of a human being with the power of discipline, you have the power of excellence. Then you cannot be swayed by anything. Then you see the highest self and the highest grace. Storms come and change the atmosphere, but those who live in a solid space are unshakable.
