With Christmas approaching and Thanksgiving just passed, it’s a time for gratitude, to reflect on life's bounty. But counting blessings shouldn't be allocated to one day or during a period of time, it should be a daily practice.
There is a feeling of doom and gloom going around. Given the current state of the world, it's understandable. Part of the beauty of Kundalini is that it gives you the tools to lift yourself out of it.
Each day – even each breath - is an opportunity to start again. As a new month begins, there is a collective sense of renewal. We’re clearing the slate and starting again. Whatever problems you had in August, will still be there in September.
Trying to control everything can create friction. For all involved, the experience can spiral into disappointment and frustration. When you stop trying to wrestle with everything, you can relax and enjoy a state of ease.
Have you contemplated the concept of letting go?
Our biggest experience of letting go is when we let go of the breath on an exhale to make way for an inhale. In yoga, when you let go of tension, you go deeper into a posture and can hold it longer. But the art of letting go can also apply to people, places, and things as well as points of view and emotions.

The most certain thing in life is uncertainty. Most things that happen are beyond your control. The thought of not being in control can seem disempowering. However, learning to let go can be liberating.
The breath is the most vital force of the body as it affects the activities of every cell in the body and is closely linked to the performance of the brain. A great way to balance ourselves out is by practicing a simple yet powerful breathing technique called Alternate Nostril Breathing - one of many types of pranayam.
Recently, a couple issues set me on the defensive and, as it was sadhana time, I grabbed my Waves of Healing manual and flipped through. The thought that my subconscious spit out was: “where’s the I’m-gonna-kick-your-ass kriya?” Whoaah! What? Did my subconscious just say that? Yes, it did.
Have you fallen in love with your soul? Do you treat yourself kindly? Or maybe the relationship you have with yourself is complicated.
You may be able to ramble on about all the things you *think* are wrong with you. But instead, consider what’s right.
