Sat Nam,

Today is my birthday and I turn 50. Wow! Half a century of trips round the sun! Wahe Guru! And I feel it’s quite auspicious that on my birthday we have a new moon in Leo and we embark on the final virtue in our series love and connection which happens to be my favourite!

All the Virtues we have been exploring over these past few weeks have led up to this one. This is what it’s all about, love and connection. It’s why we are here on this planet, it’s why we are given life, to connect with everything and to love.

Many human beings live in their ego and spend their whole lives trying to find connection and love through outside places such work, possessions, looks, power, fame, drugs, alcohol, money and now in this day and age social media and the irony is the source of connection and love is right there within our hearts and souls. As soon as we connect to the love in our hearts we connect to everything, we see the world through the eyes of compassion, beauty and love and we connect with other human beings on a divine level.

My practice of Kundalini yoga opened my heart. I remember when I first started practicing I felt a plethora of emotions pouring out of me. I would cry on my mat, get angry, feel such joy, peace and most of all love. My heart opened a little more each time I worked my way through a Kriya, meditated, chanted a mantra and this openness started to work its way into my everyday life. After a few months people I’d known for years noticed how much I was changing. They would say you’re softer, kinder, more open and at peace. After nearly six years of practice I barely recognise the person I once was and I couldn’t be more grateful on my 50th birthday for my practice, for all the incredible people I have met along the way, my teachers, my friends, my family and the person I now am.

So on this special day I’m sending out so much love to you all. May your lives be heart felt, full of joy, love and connection. ?
