| RESISTANCE IS USELESS = EXCUSES ARE ABUSES That is my favourite quote from the film The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. When I watched it my resistance was high in a number of areas in my life – resistance comes from our fears – excuses also represent our resistances & fears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U42wsVF82J4 The definition of resistance is the refusal to accept or comply with something – it’s a feeling that comes on strong – where you start making a gazillion excuses – you can feel your inner walls go up – it’s most likely old & the way to release it is to grow through it. If you don’t you end up weakening the nervous system & abusing it This ties in with this months theme of building the nervous system so we are strong, willing & able enough to accept the SHOCKS of life – adapting to whatever LIFE may throw at us without reacting in a negative way – the stronger our nervous system is – the easier this practice becomes. Here’s a kriya that opens up the bladder meridian and strengthens the kidneys which store our fears. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk_j9IroxJk Feel free to reach out with any comments and/or concerns. If you can do this for the full 3 minutes and would like to do it for 40 days straight with some mentoring – i’m here!

Speaking of resistance..here’s my one and only full online FREE class as I’m still working on creating the subscription channel folks..hahha https://vimeo.com/274382398 Thanks for subscribing, for taking the time to read through this & THANK YOU FOR BEING SatNamNamaste xThe idea is for people to be strong and to let them control their weaknesses. When you want to stop water from flowing in one direction, you put up a dike to stop the flow and then open up a channel for it to flow in another direction. Human energy works in exactly the same way. You stop it from flowing to the negative or destructive side and you will have an equal amount of energy to flow in a positive direction. Just remember: there is X amount of energy in you and you are its master. You can use it the way you want and direct it in the way you want it go. Yogi Bhajan |
