Sat Nam,

How is everyone doing?

I’ve been offline as I was away in the Blue Mountains last weekend for my birthday with some of my longest friends.  There’s something really special about being with the familiarity of 30+ years of friendship and the energy of the mountains was so rejuvenating especially with what’s going on.

These times were in at the moment are unprecedented.  I remember watching a video in Teacher training that was 20 years old where they talked about the Aquarian Age and how it would bring a period of great change and unrest.  They spoke about how important it was to keep up the practice of Kundalini Yoga as this yoga will keep you balanced throughout the turmoil.

I remember thinking that was good to know but not really understanding what it meant.  Now that we are going through this world crisis I’m so grateful for my practice.  It’s what keeps me grounded when I want to fly of the handle, it’s what brings me back to myself when I feel lost, it’s what keeps my body strong to hold me up and it’s what keeps me mentally healthy when I feel like I’m drowning in fear.

Yoga is called a practice because you are practicing for dealing with what life throws at you.

Yoga provides challenging postures to bring up your crap.  The stuff that comes up on the mat, the emotions, the self talk, the resistance, is the same stuff that will come up in your life when you’re met with a challenge.

If what comes up isn’t working for you, your mat is your opportunity to practice changing that so you can integrate it as your norm.

It’s like rehearsing for a play, you rehearse so if something doesn’t go to plan on opening night you are ready to respond in the best possible way as you’ve practiced and practiced.

Yoga is your practice for life so when the shit hits the fan you’re in good stead to deal with it.

Now more than ever it is so important that you keep up with your practice so you’re kept up in life.
