I See. I Believe. I Know. I Am

I See. I Believe. I Know. I Am

As I was walking in the mountains of Patagonia, I was rather lost in thought when an SUV passed and the man inside yelled, “Walk in the middle of the road, I just ran over a big Rattler.” That snapped me to attention and made my walk much more observant.

What do you see? Do you look mostly through your two eyes of through your third eye?

I got to see this amazing, brightly-painted yellow bird which swooped me. The hummingbird that followed me up the hill and the biggest raven ever with a wing span angels would have been jealous of. The wind talked to me sometimes, sweetly brushing by and sometimes worked itself into a howl. I want to just be with all of this and not try to make it into anything. Just experience the gift of it.

What have you allowed yourself to be immersed in recently that took you out of what you believe to be true? That state of belief never allows you to be in what is being given.

I have had so much removed from my life, so many dreams, so many people, so many opportunities or things I thought should be or turn out a certain way that I am very liquid.

I am laying aside my beliefs of all that I am and all that I thought I should be or do. I will not tell you it is a comfortable place but I will tell you that it is profound in that there is only trust; there is only allowing; there is only “how can I serve?”

So what do you know that you know you need to unknow? Let me know if I can help you with that. If you would like a Strategy Session, please be my guest. There are limited but welcoming spots. Please sign up here http://gurutejsessions.com/ and we will have time together.

All love in the Divine,

Leaving Love?

Posted by Gurutej

Leaving Love? As we leave this month of love, will you be leaving love behind? We have these wake up calls all the time that ask us to love more. When we see the delicacy and fragility of life, when we see the difference in performance of a child who was loved and one that didn’t get much of that gift, when we see how changing our perceptions of and about someone can shift an entire relationship, when someone reveals a deeper part of themselves and you get to really “see” them, we experience so many ways the Divine dances through our everyday lives and open us to the magical healing of love—loving and accepting love.

I am so greatful for my Beloved, Keith. We had a wonderful revelation a few weeks back about allowing the other to be wrong without feeling the need to point it out. Love can often reflect back to the person what is true rather than having it explained about how wrong they are. We all love to be told how wrong we are right?

With that feeling in mind, picture one time when someone showed you how wrong you were and what your reaction was. Take a moment… or ten… then remember a time when someone didn’t correct you but allowed you to see your error and be self-corrected. Be with that feeling and what you learned…

Being right isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It often separates you from each other. Love is the great connecter. To love, you must trust. Trust yourself, trust the other to be who and what and where they are and not feel compelled to save or correct or be right.

Being out of sync, which you call wrong, just means you aren’t tuned in for whatever reason (usually fear) which makes you go to fast, makes you not feel connected, being too exhausted, or under the influence of…. Fear makes you do things that create a disconnect. The disconnect often makes you defensive, the defense makes you justify yourself, the justification creates a feeling of not being loved or understood and you loop and loop. If you just step back, take that wonderful Sipping breath and allow the other to be adjusted by the Divine, then that is trust. I ask you to take stock of your trust.

Do you trust that if you don’t do something it will be covered?

Do you trust that what is needed will come and not always through you?

Do you trust that if you step back and send a prayer instead of a need to fix, it will be adjusted in a better way then you could ever imagine?

What is your biggest trust buster? What makes you lose trust? What makes you trust?

Are you ready to jump into a new reality? Try loving more and correcting less, try more compassion and less fixing, try looking at situations with the eyes of innocence and be excited to discover what makes the other tick.

Rock on in Trust. Tis true the Beloved is awaiting you. Behind every tree and stone, when with others and when alone, when it is easy and when it’s not, the Beloved is there. You just block him/her/it a lot. Relax in the truth that you are amazing, and so am I—the one across from you who is also afraid to fly.

If you want some wings, accept help. It awaits you. Reach out as I reach into you.

On Appreciation: Pick Up Your…

On Appreciation: Pick Up Your…

God, that could mean so many things right? Pick up your sweet ___ and move along. Pick up your problems in an old green bag and throw them away. Pick up your life and embrace it. Pick up the trash, your room, your pieces. I want you to pick up the pieces of your life and look at them with appreciation. Can you just stop reading this and do that? Appreciate your life just as it is with all its flaws and glory. Radiance will stream from you if you do this one simple thing.

I want to explain appreciation as I embrace it at this moment. Gratitude means you are “greatful” when you get something you want. Appreciation is built on building blocks of wonder, curiosity, adventure, willingness, seeing things in a different light, and so much more. These aspects are the magic cake of your life and appreciation is the icing. When we look at things as good and bad, ask why something should have happened or why this happened, gossip, and judge others’ lives, we create great internal and external strife.

When we look at things through the rose-colored lens of appreciation there is no “supposed to” or “should” or “regret.” It simply means we are not at war with all that is. We aren’t trying to manipulate our lives. Instead we are unwrapping them as if they were a priceless jewel. This is regardless. Regardless, if your life is that of a celebrity – queen or pauper – without what you want or anything in between, will you make a vow to look at and into your life as if it was the most priceless possession you own? Once you do this, you will glimpse the truth of this. Your pricelessness.

This life can be about anything you want. If you want happiness, embrace appreciation; it turns moodiness into amazement. If you want lots of friends, befriend appreciation for everyone flocks to it. If you want your life to be about success, embrace appreciation for it will make you aware of the talents of others and how to incorporate them into your team. If you want total success (which is liberation by any name you choose), then embrace appreciation for even the Divine One is on 100,000,000% call for appreciation. What is chanting if not appreciating the Divine essence? What is meditation if not getting lost in the appreciation of the Divine till you merge into it? Appreciation makes everything grow. It is the HB-101 of life.

I want to know how far your appreciation goes. How does your appreciation invade every aspect of your life? How does your appreciation uplift you and others? Please talk to me about this for this is the only conversation worth having. Everything else is about “woe is me,” or “yeah is me.” Appreciation is “it is all me.” Appreciate you. Appreciate this moment. Appreciate everything simply appearing fabulous and horrid to you. For it is truly All Wahe Guru. Appreciation is the lens to see through.

Wahe Guru all Love and Appreciation to you,

Gurutej Khalsa

The Divine: Are You Willing?

The Divine: Are You Willing?

Are you willing to give up something very precious to us as a race? We are so interesting we carry our anxiety, our depression, our fears so close to our hearts that we think this is truly “how everyone lives.” Sadly, it is true, but you don’t have to be everyone. You can choose to truly live this life differently. Oh, God, we all know it is not as easy as making the choice once and, presto, the good fairy comes down and grants you that wish. And how come no one ever wishes for that when they meet the genie or fairy and wish, “I want to be rid of my pain and all that it brings with it and replace wit with love”?

If each day, as we greet the Divine and say, “Let’s spend this day together, God,” or whatever you choose to call that Divine Essence, you are choosing connection—all our resistance to what we fear, or think will change our life, or us, is really about embracing our separateness. I have to defend myself; I have to protect myself. What if that is a lie we have been told? What if your best tool is awareness? What if your best tool is having the right tools? What if your best tool is trust? What if trust clears the path for expanded awareness? What then? would you lay your anxiety and depression and separation at the feet of the Divine each day, each moment you feel it? How would you make that offering?

We love steps, so here are some.

When you feel anxious/depressed get up; move and offer your anxiety or depression or… to your beloved, while you are moving your body. Dancing is great, but dance in your way
Speak to yourself and those around you as if this life mattered and this moment mattered. Even if it doesn’t at that moment.
Listen to your own wisdom and take it to heart.
Call someone who needs some love and shower love on them. There is always someone in need of that.
It’s not about you. When this is seems true, there really is only Us and We. Weeeee.

What will give you the power to do these things when you need them—to have a practice, a daily practice 30-60 min that you do no matter what? Then practice the only thing worth practicing each and every moment. Love. Love fiercely, love kindly, love innocently, love vastly. Love, for it will expand you until it delivers you to the feet of your beloved. Do the prayer of love for yourself or another.

Love before you. Love behind you. Love at your left. Love at your right. Love above you. Love below you. Love unto you. Love in your surroundings. Love to all Love to the universe.

You can do this same prayer with Peace, with Light, with Hope, with… then sing some song/chant you love that uplifts you.

Truly, it is just this challenging and this simple. You have to have the willpower to create a practice that will sustain you. That takes work. Make it the work of love.

All Love in the Divine,

Gurutej Khalsa

Today Is the Last Day

Posted by Gurutej

I met someone in The 99 Cent store today that I know only slightly. He is the husband of one of my students. He is in finances and wanted to share with me the end of the world.

Ok, so the world as we know it is going to end. What does that mean? It means we have to see things in a different way. We need different eyes and perceptions to shift the problems of today. Robert Reich, who is a very famous economist at Berkley, was saying that neither the Republican nor the Democratic platform will work. Each one is very one-sided. Each one will only serve half the problem at best. We need new ways to have things work because the middle class has lost it’s buying power. Our economy was based on this premise working. This can depress us or excite us. What new ideas, ways, businesses will emerge out of this? What new thinkers will come up with something unexpected? Will it be you? Or do you just go into your hole and not become whole?

What we expected will not happen. It never does. So why now? No matter how predictable we try to make life, it always has a habit of throwing in curve balls, usually many of them. Will you learn to play the new game? Will you create a new game? We know that this is a time of change and things must always die in times of change. Is there ever a time that is not about change? There is G. O. D. which starts with “G” for “generating,” then comes the “O” for “organized” (we love this part) before it gets the “D” for “destroyed or deepened.” This is the cycle of life on planet Earth. What will you do inside of this cycle? Live in fear? Act like nothing is happening?

Learn about what could be and then work with the only thing that matters – kissing the hairy belly of the divine in each moment.

Love and Blessings

When things are scary!

Posted by Gurutej

· March 9, 2012

What do we do? No, not what do you want to do but what are you willing to do? Let’s face it these are scary, unknown times and I am not sure there ever were times that weren’t. The capacity to see, feel, know the unknown inside of the known is what takes the scary away.

Trust me I have had lots of practice with this. I will tell you that what will serve you, not only get you through scary but get into and under it, is a very meditative mind. For some reason God requires a stillness from us amidst all the attractions and distractions. This is not something that can be purchased at the 99cent Store nor Barney’s. A still, calm mind means you trust the divine plan and you want to see the vastness of it at all times.

I want to share an amazingly simple thing you can do to get your Essence back when it has been lost. Chant Maaaaaaaa. Really you can even do it in a whisper. You can do it very fast to give you energy, You can do it slowly and long to give you a calm heart. Our lives are not meant to be hard but to awaken us.

These times are so pressurized because the wake up factor is paramount. We have help to do so, so use the help you have access to. Use the Yoga, use the meditation, use the chant going through your head each moment or chant enough to have it there. Speak of trust. Hang out with people who encourage Divine Trust. Allow the situations that rob you of trust to come and refuse to relinquish your trust.

I have support tools for you, my dear ones. Get your essence back is now at a price everyone can make the most of it. Go here and listen to a free audio and then sign up for the support you need. http://tinyurl.com/7zwzks7

Deep Love and blessings

I just returned from a sublime vacation. I really want to call it a presentation because it was very present. We were very present. There was little to no vacating other than L.A. I love L.A. and am blessed to live here yet there was little doubt that I required a deep unplugging. It is like coming back from outer space you are required to be cleared on many levels before you can resume your “regular ” life. I am now cleared for business, for serving. for healing.

It had been a VERY long time since I had taken a “real” vacation. Even when I go to Hawaii for weddings or some ocean time I always teach at least twice. Great to mix them both I have loved it. This was different for many reasons. This was a request that was heard and acted on. This was a prayer answered.

Trust me I want to give Keith all the credit for hearing my request for some down time at a warm beach when we first met in January. Yet it was a gift of the divine for us both. He got to be the Divine masculine and I got to be the Goddess. He heard me, he heard my request on our first meeting which was said in passing that I needed some down time at a warm beach. The fact that he heard this is nothing short of a miracle he really heard me. He then took action. He did the research, ran it by me ( must admit all I saw was the color of the water and I was sold), and took care of everything from there. This is grace of the masculine provider element at it’s best. It enabled me to be the feminine and allow, receive. Those of you out there who have been single, powerful, working, serving being the masculine with a touch of the feminine know how wonderful and challenging it is to let go and accept. I got to surrender to the ocean, to the ocean of the feminine intuition, trust me I did not turn into a wet noodle I turned into the receptive feminine which is the best of the best.

I looked at my tea bag this morning and read the quote. It was Intuition gives you innocence or Innocence gives your intuition. It works both ways. Innocence not naivete allows us to see more, to be more to know really more. So what are you doing to open to your intuition? To reclaim your innocence?

I love this meditation because it gives you just that. It is simple. It is deep. It is juicy. Inhale Sitali Breath (rolled tongue extended through your lips) and on the exhale chant your favorite chant, Ma, Hum, my favorite is WAHE GURU. You can do this in a whisper or outloud. Outloud clears the arena of your life and makes this sound the focal point and whisper is the lauguage of lovers and it gets you intimately connected to you. DO IT! Let it Do you.

Blessings
