New Moon with Partial Solar Eclipse
(Visible from much of Europe, North Africa and central Asia) |
If you have not already done so, this would be the time to write your intentions for the New Year and to re-set your priorities. Make a promise to yourself that you will not leave anything for tomorrow that can be done today.
"Do it now" should be your mantra during this timeframe. Things are moving so quickly these days that anything procrastinated will be just that much harder to catch up with later. If it doesn't get done, ask yourself if it is really all that important. If it is, then do it now. If not, let it go. Overall, this is a good day to re-set. The new moon is always a still point and a good time to indicate change. Just make sure it is something you are fully 100% behind as this New Moon comes with the force of the eclipse and the surge of energy associated with planets going direct. Anything you decide will be supported, so, choose wisely!

Guru Gobind Singh’s Birthday
|
Celebrate Guru Gobind Singh’s Birthday at KYL
Wednesday, January 5
- 4:30 am |
Come to KYL early Wednesday
(January 5) morning to celebrate the birthday of the Sikh saint and warrior, Guru Gobind Singh. Guru Gobind Singh was born in 1666 as Gobind Rai. He exhibited great fearlessness and an elevated consciousness at a very young age.
Jaap Sahib is a prayer written by Guru Gobind Singh when he was just 19 years old. It describes all of the aspects of the Creator. The yoga set/kriya Wednesday morning is the practice of bowing rhythmically to the verses of Jaap Sahib (i.e., ‘Bowing Jaap Sahib’). The sound of Jaap Sahib rouses the soul and the higher self of the human being. It is good to recite--or even to simply listen to--when your position is endangered or when you feel weak. It brings grace, greatness and royal courage.
Delicious Yogi Tea will be served. You might bring some light breakfast snacks to share afterwards. There is no charge for this special early morning practice, however, donations are accepted.
Schedule
4:30 am – Japji Sahib (meditative prayer)
4:55 am – Warm-Ups
5:10 am – Bowing Jaap Sahib (yoga set)
5:45 am – Aquarian Sadhana mantras
6:55 am – End (approximately)
Please arrive between 4:00 am and 4:30 am because the building doors are open
only during that time.

Healing Power of ‘Prosperity’ Gong &
Mantra
|
with Shakta Kaur & Hari Dev Singh
Friday, January 14
6:30 pm to 7:45 pm
($15 in advance)
|
End Your Karma and Connect with the Endless Circle of Infinite Prosperity!
Bring a friend and join us Friday night for one of our most popular monthly sessions of
Gong and Mantra—for
prosperity! This month we’ve chosen a mantra especially designed to jumpstart your New Year with all the abundance that you deserve.
As always, we begin every ‘Healing Power of Gong & Mantra’ session with light Kundalini Yoga to prepare the body for what’s to come (the yoga is appropriate for all levels). Then we move into deep relaxation with not one,
but two beautiful Paiste symphonic gongs. Your mind will have no defense to the gong after 90 seconds!
After the gong we use sound (mantra) to remind us that the entire universe was built on sound, on vibration. And, as we vibrate a particular combination of sounds, we are able to tune into a different level of intelligence, or, consciousness.
The mantra for January, ‘Hari Hari Hari Hari Hari Hari Har,’ has the capacity to open you to attracting and receiving exactly what you need. Sometimes it is more than you might expect or even want and sometimes it is totally different from what you desire. The more you are able to relax into this meditation the more you will allow the manifestation of what the Creator has in mind for you.
So,

gong and mantra on Friday.

Many spiritual traditions use walking as a meditation to calm the mind, connect to nature and for healing. Breathwalk is a simple, yet profoundly effective mental and physical fitness program. Breathwalk uses a variety of different breath patterns, timed with your footsteps, to effect a change in your mood and energy level.
You could use Breathwalk to promote ‘Energy and Vitality’ or ‘Weight Control and Overall Fitness.’ If you’ve been a prisoner of your mind lately you could choose a Breathwalk that shifts you from ‘Anxious to Calm’ or from ‘Scattered to Focused.’ There are even Breathwalks to increase ‘Emotional Presence,’ ‘Intuition’ and ‘Spiritual Abundance.’ The choices are unique, varied and always effective!
Join Shakta for a rejuvenating, refreshing and simply remarkable weekend learning to use and teach Breathwalk—not only for your health and well-being but also to uplift the lives of many others.
Two levels of Breathwalk training are offered:
Weekend One – Personal Intensive - $250.
This one-weekend training is mainly experiential, moving through several different programs which provide stress relief, mental clarity, mood control and anxiety reduction.
Weekend Two – Instructor Training - $750.
Breathwalk Instructors take both weekends. The second weekend
builds upon the first focusing on understanding the application
of Breathwalk programs, working with diverse groups of
Breathwalkers and mastering the skills of teaching Breathwalk to
others.

FOR ALL SPIRITUAL SEEKERS, TRAVEL TO INDIA HAS A SPECIAL APPEAL. The very land is steeped in spirituality, where many ancient practices were developed and perfected over 5,000 years ago. Simply walking the land can leave a profound and lasting imprint on your soul. To transform your life sometimes requires a journey which will change the way you view yourself and the world.
This is the third tour to India that Shakta and Hari Dev have led with the guidance of tour operator Deepak Singh of Spiritual Journeys.
While maintaining all the comforts of home you will have the profound experience of India;
absorbing the rich spiritual traditions while enjoying safe food, excellent lodging and the guidance of experienced staff.
Highlights of our tour include:
• Participating in the 5-day Punarnava conference “Ayurveda and Yoga: Where Science Meets Consciousness” held in Rishikesh (the yoga capital of the world);
• Visiting the sacred Golden Temple in Amritsar;
• Seeing the Taj Mahal in Agra on a beautiful sunrise tour;
• Washing away your karmas in the Mother River Ganges;
• Visiting Old and New Delhi;
• Walking the holy ground where Lord Buddha spoke his first sermon after 'awakening'
(optional extension tour to Sarnath/Varanasi).
The BBC has listed the Golden
Temple and Taj Mahal as two of the top ten sites to visit in the
world. The basic tour fee of $1,935 (until
January 15) includes
the conference, comfortable lodging, sacred ceremonies,
breakfast daily and English-speaking guides throughout the trip
(land only – airfare to and from India is approximately $1,300
additional). Besides visiting the great religious and cultural
sites, and walking in the footsteps of the Masters, our tour
also provides time to “shop with Shakta” in the bazaars (an
experience in and of itself!) and partake in local customs and
ceremonies. The optional extension tour is $400
additional. For more information

Moon Watch

New Moon -
January 4
11 Days After - January 15
Full Moon - January 19
(Above Dates Adjusted for Central Time Zone)
|
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
"
Drive your life like a car, and you will be fine. Use a signal to change lanes. Drive carefully and shift the gears as you face the day. Gas up the car and check the oil before you go, that is called sadhana (daily spiritual discipline). It is a mental cleansing process, a tune-up to the point of elevation every day.
