What is spiritual? This seems the perfect question for Yogi Bhajan's Birthday week. Is it indefinable like grace and radiance? Yet you know it when you see it. Or is it something we can nail down in description. Some of both. Spiritual means your spirit rules. That you can hear the sounds and messages of your soul and you know the sounds. It does not have a special look like you are skinny and have very little clothes on nor do you need to be large and fierce yet you can be either of these and much more.

Story: A dear friend of mine is going through a very challenging time right now and not quite in her body. As she was going into a parking lot with me on the phone it all started to fall apart. Her car jumped the curb taking out part of her bumper I heard the sound it was stomaching wrenching. She said, "I gotta go I just did something horrid to my car." she told me the next day that the parking attendant followed her to the next structure. My friend commented on the beauty of this attendant but what the attendant did was more beautiful. She said, " I feel you are under a lot of stress and God is telling you to slow down and trust." Then she gave my friend a big hug. She has become her angel. This is spiritual. Uplifting another. As Yogi Bhajan would say being the fork lift. Spiritual is evoking the spirit of another or the self to come to the forefront.

Sadhana: This is the platform that we have been given to create the basis of our hue man flow. It is a place to gather energy to feed the soul so the soul can be the conscious foundation of your being. Soul food gives you the capacity to have to give instead of trying to give from an energy void. Sleep is good. Getting the right ratio of sleep and meditation is tricky. So is a spiritual path. That is why monks would sleep on wooden planks with very thin foam or feathers depending on the time. After a few hours it would be so uncomfortable that you would greatfully get up. I am not suggesting this. I am suggesting to arise at least with the sun if not well before it. Be with you and the vastness of all your infinity. To release the past and allow the grace of the now to give you solace and vastness.

Now: Spirituality is bringing the grace of Sadhana into the moment. Into your every day life and make meeting you a special
moment in the lives of all who come into contact with you. Bring the vastness of your spirit into the playing field of life. That is spiritual.

Awareness: Living with products that support your intentions. That means being conscious with all that you buy including your yoga products, your water bottles, not just your light bulbs and your shopping bags. I have both now get ones that serve you and this planet we live on so awareness goes in all aspects of life. They are really fun colors and the plastic bottles are non -leachable. Wahe Guru! Water filters enable you to save lots of money not buying bottles water.

"There is no liberation without labor." YB Honor the laborers and honor your own labor to light up the world.

No problem can be from the same level of consciousness that created it. Einstein thus a great reason to meditate, do yoga, live consciously, move consciously, breath into you daily routines and ones that are not routine.

This is supposed to be a year of new beginnings. For that to happen other things must end. We do not always get to choose who walks into or out of our lives. Sometimes we need to be courageous and walk away and sometimes we need to be courageous and stay. Who we take council from counts. Take council from those that direct you back unto your own soul and intuition.

What is on the horizon for you? We have our plans, dreams, hopes (as Emily Dickens said of hope "It is that feathery thing that alights on the soul and sings a song without words that fills our hearts.") then there are the things that come out of the cold and grab us. The things that take our breath away. What do you do then? Who do you call out to? There are things that come and look all good and shiny and turn out rusted. Things that seem okay that turn out to be such gorgeous gifts. How greatful can we be for each. They are all aspects of the infinite. Some we like, some love and some we can't even look at.

Yesterday: Someone asked me if I was okay. I said I was great. He asked. "So no one is shooting at you and you have enough food? It took me by surprise until I thought a huge percentage of the world could not answer Yes to both or maybe even one of these. Gratitude.

Please feel free to come visit me on facebook. I have Theenergygurus and gurutej both. How often do I check a couple time/week.

Remember all the wonderful courses coming up and check the website for events and sign up in class or by connecting with me.
The Facereading class will help you in all aspect of your life to know more about who the people in your life are. Come get a private from Lynn. She is good she did mine last week and she does not hold back. Couples Class if you are lucky enough to be one of those come it is juicy. Costa Rica come join Gurumeher and I October.17th-26th stay after and relax more.

"If you want to make an impact and be remembered, stand out." J T Foxx This could have been something Yogi Bhajan would have said because he did dress us to stand out.J T actually called me out at this conference and said, "You in the back left I want you to come talk to me. I want to meet you." Why? Because I stood out. Yogi Bhajan had another reason: So people would know we were available to help. That is why he told us to meditate 2 1/2 hrs/day and much, much more so we would have the core soul strength to radiate out and touch others. He did say "If your presence does not work then nothing else will."

Our Road: Everyone's journey is different and yet there are guide posts that make things more effective. It's like having a website that has great ad words, great blog connections and social networking sites with your 100000 true fans or just a web site that sites there looking good. Who is responsible for your site? Ultimately you are. Having the right support team is the most important part otherwise you are paying lots of money for someone else to be doing well.....not you.

Spiritual road: no different. It is not about reading the right stuff, but doing what feeds your soul. Hanging out with people who support your soul first. Being willing to hang out with your soul and go to soul feeding places. Know what sucks you dry oh and who.
Place them at a distance. Take the steps you need to be a warrior if necessary. Fight for soul space. Thank and bless those who come into your life and those who leave as well as those you need to escort out the door.

Be empowered: Do the things you know you need to do with fierce grace. My daughter is such a great warrioress. She was out of high school at 16 against my will. Out of college at 20 off to teach in India. She majored in premed and dance. Then took a uturn or so it seemed and went off to teach in India, came back worked in LA put herself through massage school so she could get her masters in business and psychology. Took all that and dedicated 2 1/2 years to work in Honduras in the Peace Corps.Back she came and acted like she was doing doctorate work when searching for her job. She landed at Booze Allen because she wanted to be in a city where she could walk, take public transportation and close to the hub of Universe so DC called her. She now has a full time job a good one that honors her with a 20% pay raise each year but... she did not want a job she wanted her passion. She found that in Osteopathy. So now she is taking her MCATS on Yogi Bhajans birthday while working a 50 hr week.. We can do anything we want. What is your God? How are you worshipping every day? In each moment. Are you serving your true mission, passion, destiny.

We are siblings of destiny: How can we support each other in fulfilling ours, yours?

Use me as part of your support system. Come take classes honor each other and meet all the new people coming to classes. I have new CD's, Eco Bottles, Flip charts so you get you back all day long.

I welcome you to be blessed to feel blessed to act as if you are blessed.

Signs; "How will you be remembered when you go?" A billboard on Westwood Blvd asked this profound question. I wanted to see what company or person was thinking like that, loved it. Then I saw it was a Mortuary. I could not tell you which one which means the most effective part of their message was not them but the thought. Sure they would not like to know that. Great for me because it made me laugh then consider the statement. This is looking past the how you will look in your ashen state gray and dusty with little parts of whitish bone or in your coffin after some embalming fluid and makeup artist have had their way with you but how is your star trail? What are you leaving in your wake? What did you do when awake?

Bald Spots: We all have them. Do you know what your current one is? The thing we bitch about to God and mankind. The if only thing or things that keep us from having a great life. I love when I get a good dose of myself. The other nite I had a day that is the stuff of stand up comedy routines or outbreaks of great violence depending on your consciousness. This was topped off my a 1/1/2 hour wonderful conference call learning about web 2.0 which had been most of the source of my total wildness. In my teaching space there was a workshop going on that I incorrectly assumed would be about 2 hours and not very loud, wrong on both accounts.
I was either stranded down stairs or could hurry up to a bath and then come down when it finished. No such luck it was long, almost 4 hrs and LOUD. My head has been so bad I have been resting and sleeping with it packed in ice. I am upstairs no ice packs and at a 100 on the pain scale. Worst pain being NOISE. After it is all over I slink down to get my ice packs and meet some people I know. I was not wanting to see nor speak to anyone. I got caught in the kitchen and when asked how my head was doing started complaining but get this to a woman who is almost totally blind and has gradually lost her sight to a disease called RP I believe. She is amazing. A joy and I who only have a temporary situation am bitching. I did catch myself but not enough to make a joke of it. Bald Spot my pain is bigger than your pain therefore >>>>>>>>>

Catching Ourselves: The only way for us to loose them is for the absurdity to become so clear over and over again or enough people to leave our lives because we can't control or loose it. The grace of chanting, I cannot emphasizes it enough. It gets to the core of the pain. The delight of speaking with someone who will elevate you and give you ways you can do that to others and thus yourself.
We will have pain. Every level of pain. The more spiritual you get the more you feel. What you do with that pain is the only thing that separates out the addicts from the conscious connectors.

Great News: We always get another chance to remember. To act as if this thing, this word, this look, this want to do a tantrum but won't is remembered, is felt, does become part of the fiber of this Universe. Pay attention to your weaving. I want yours to be much better than mine or I have failed both you and my mission. Don't make me fail.HA! HAR HAR HAR it is the laughter of the Universe.

New support products: To become more Eco Conscious. Both new Eco Mats and Eco bottles in non leachable reusable plastic and Stainless steel. essential oils to allow you to breath more deeply and enjoy it more.
