If You Love the Sun. . . .

Posted by lima5ive

· August 6, 2018

What is sooo special about this sun of ours? Oh, let me count the ways it loves us.

Sun Run Down:

Necessary to grow everything.
Creates warmth, sometimes a little too much
For many, it is their wake-up call
Vitamin D
Sun gazing at sunrises and sunsets (healing and revealing)
Heals us.

Endless other things. Please name your top 5 Sun Gifts

We know that as the climate warms, we are getting more intense sunlight. As the ozone layer thins, the Sun’s influence gets stronger and you burn more easily.

I got to see this on my last trip to Akumal Mexico. This was our 4th trip there and I have never burned before. I burned royally. I had to wear long (not cute) men’s swim trunks. My oceanic love trumped the burn, so the ugly trunks were the compromise with my beloved Keith. They worked and I don’t care what people think or I would have stopped wearing a turban long ago. All I’m saying is the sun was different, and, yes, I had been there in May, 6 years ago, and no burn. So, things are heating up.

We do this dance with the Sun each day, and over a period of a year, we get closer and farther away. We rotate into it and away from it each day. We need this Sun of ours. This light-being who reminds us to stay lit, to be the light, and, yes, even to compete for who is the brightest.

This poem came to me the other day.

Sometimes Sunshine Makes Me…

Happy, slow, yearning

open to your embrace

I arise, arms lifting wide and possible

to feel your kiss

Icarus did

sucking your warmth

hope

promises of

being embraced forever

held, healed

buttered, battered

fry me

make a warm offering

of me

to all who come to your altar.

If you can’t be the Sun, be the lover of the Sun. Otherwise, how will you ever be able to stand up and be the light in your life and the life of those around you?

I salute your courage to say, yes, to building habits that serve you—not the ones that suck your life force out of you.

How are you feeding your light—not your anxiety?

Go out and stand in the sunlight during your lunch hour and soak it in. 12-1 in the afternoon is the best time to get the vitamin D and feel the healing light of the sun. Come on for 15 minutes.

Take your lunch and eat it in the sunlight. Soak in this gift of light and healing that is necessary for all to grow, and, yes, that means us too.

Store it up for the Winter time.

What is love really about?

Posted by lima5ive

· March 6, 2018

What is love really about? This wonderful Hallmark love day is a great impetus to explore the vastness and day-to-day gifts and challenges of, yes, LOVE.

We use this four-letter word almost as a bargaining tool. Let’s look at love in a much bigger, deeper, more profound level. I want to make a list with you. Please make your list first then look at mine. Don’t get distracted.

True meanings of love Fake hostage-taking uses of the word

For me, the true meaning is…

Selfless

Connected

Seeing beyond the obvious

Putting yourself in the other’s skin

Willing to listen, really hear

Giving the other the benefit of the, not doubt, but belief.

Seeing the person for who they are, not who you want them to be

Willing to invest time, space, and grace

Another chance and another

Boundless

Vast

Love increases your vastness

You never lose by loving, despite the outcome

Love is, it has nothing to do with deserving (i.e., They don’t deserve my love)

Love sees into the other

Love fuels possibilities

Surrender

Trust

So much more want to see yours.

Fake love…

Bargaining if you… then I will

Because of (they are rich, can give you opportunities large or small)

You make me feel good about myself

You complete me (meaning I’m not whole on my own)

You are my last hope

Deception for gain in the name of love

Lack of trust, but what the heck

So many more

I am not telling you… You need to like or trust everyone. I’m saying, “See and trust them to be who and what they are.” For that you need the clarity to see into who they really are.

Intuition + Acceptance = Caring

Caring + Trust = Hope

Hope + Surrender + Trust = Love

You get to become stronger and more juicy so you can increase your love quotient.

Love is all there is Wahe Guru.

Love Guidelines

Posted by lima5ive

· March 6, 2018

Guidelines mean lines to be guided by and I hope this will inspire you to create your own guidelines my love.

Here are my guidelines:

Guidelines for a healthy, juicy relationship

1. Sunia/She’ma. Listen. If you can’t listen to yourself, you can’t listen to others. Listening is the kingpin of communication. You don’t have to believe it, just listen.

2. Respect and Honor are the glue of all relationships. It allows you to be your true self and to embrace others for who they are.

3. Trust: is destroyed or built moment by moment.

4. Perspective. Be willing to see things from a different perspective. If you only hold on to yours, the relationship will perish. Be connected, give up being right.

5. Love or Compassion transcends time and space. Love means you open to the other. Compassion is the power to get curious and allow the differences to exist with grace.

6. Have good tools. Collect great tools. Have tools to break up fights, to let go, to rejuvenate yourself. to breathe, to see from their side and shift the situation. Know what helps the other to relax, let go, then do it.

7. Humor. Laugh often and find things to laugh about daily. If you can’t laugh at yourself and situations, then life will be hard.

8. Forgiveness. This will release you from the past pain and open you to experiencing new joy.

Please share your guidelines with me. What are the most important gifts you bring to a relationship? What do you look for in a loving relationship? This goes for you, to you, as well as you to the other.

Love, love, love to you and Wahe Guru.

Ah, Breathe In New Beginnings

Posted by lima5ive

· February 5, 2018

Blessed, joyous, New Year. We can always walk through a door or not. A New Year is like that. We have a chance to change something—one thing you don’t want to draw into this year.

This year is the Subtle Body year. If you are not connected to that body and are able to see beyond what seems to be happening, it will not be a challenge year, it will be full-on crazy year.

Developing your meditative mind gets to be top of the list this year.

So, what can you do that will help you develop your meditative, clear, bast mind? Choose the one thing you will do.

Don’t try to do more than one. It’s the best recipe for mid-January.

Defeat.

Love to have blinking lights around this. No, not to extend the holidays (though truth be told, I love, love all the lights) but to wake you up to what is effective. One thing. Choose one thing.

Then get the support you need. Yes, 99% of people can’t just push through it. Your habit, you want to erase it from you like a selfie exorcism needs support. So, get some support at whatever level you can.

Now, I want to identify what you want to move towards. Yes, right now. You probably already know it, but just write it down—not what you want to release but what you want to move towards.

#1.

That is the most important thing.

If you choose something you want and think you will just plow through and MAKE it happen, it will release a… powerful fire storm of resistance within you. Everything will arise from your subconscious and try and block you. You will justify saying that you are too busy or can’t start your diet, etc. till… sometime in the future, usually the near future, but that will get pushed as well.

This year is the year of meditation for understanding the world from the inside out. The depth of subtlety and connected consciousness—the Guru—is the driving force. It’s not the year to push. Tis the year to be with, to listen, to receive support, and to accomplish with others.

Wahe Guru love and blessed new beginnings to you,

What does Awaken mean to you?

Posted by lima5ive

· February 5, 2018

Sat Nam. I’m serious about this.

What does “Awaken” or “Awakened” mean to you?

What does Awaken mean for you?

This is the year, if ever there was one, to do just that.

Awaken to you…

to your longings

to your unfilled dreams and desires

to the reason you came here in the first place.

Yes, there are lots of questions here, and there is a reason. If you don’t ask these questions (oh, and answer them) in this month of new beginnings, this January 2018, when will you do so?

New beginnings have a reason. To give us new hope that we can shift, that we can embrace a more alive, connected, juicy, hopeful life… your life. If you don’t care about that, then just stop reading this. Share it with a friend who does care.

When I was in my super-challenging marriage with, a, yes narcissist, I kept reminding myself that everything I was learning was for me and for those I would serve. If just for me, I could have just run the friggin’ cave and hid away. Yes, it was that unfun. I literally remember the good times we had in hours, not days, over 15 years. I used it as a chance to gather data and see what worked for me and what I could learn to help others. I could go into all sorts of data and stories and make you realize that I truly was in a deeply dysfunctional abusive marriage. Let’s just say, when I moved to LA, I weighed 112 lbs and I’m 5’9”. Need I say more? This is what sustained me. Meditation, Kirtan, Yoga, Sewa, and outreach programs in the city for women, saved me. And, yes, my children, when I got to spend time with them. But that is another story for another time.

All challenges can crush us or give us a spark to ignite the world and beyond with our light. What is your choice?

Wahe Guru love to you.

Leaving Love?

Posted by Gurutej

· February 26, 2014

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.

Olympic Love: Ra Ma Aum Meditation

Posted by Gurutej

· February 18, 2014

Olympic Love –

Are you ready for an Olympian love potion? There are soooo many things that are sold as love potions. They can be aphrodisiacs that make us feel very sexy for a period of time—like chocolate—yummy things that activate our endorphins, exercise, and so many other things. I am going to share something that can be applied to your heart anytime and anywhere. It works to make you an Olympian of love. It opens your beloved heart so you can truly experience the grace and power of this moment and claim the gifts that have your name written on them.

I want to tell you something. It’s about this meditation. You can walk around chanting this silently and no one but your essence will know, yet everyone around gets to share the gifts of you being more loving, more connected, more compassionate. You can do this meditation aloud to get the internal and external experience of the real surround sound. Best thing is it is super simple.

It is the meditation that…

you will want to carry around in your pocket and pull out and inhale when you need that burst of love insight.
is the rescue remedy of closed heart.
is the internal love lick that will calm you down and give you back the essence of you.
is just plain yummy

You will never know if this is true or not unless you take the pledge to be an Olympian of Love. Raise your left hand and put it over your heart and say after me, “I want to be an Olympian of Love.” If you have taken this pledge, then follow it up with this very simple and profound meditation.

Ra Ma Aum Meditation

Sit anywhere calmly or walk if you can’t sit. If you can be with and by yourself then bring your hands with only the fingertips touching their partner fingertip. Do this in front of your heart but not touching the heart. Then chant this wonderful chant:

Ra Ma Aum

This is the cotton candy of meditations. On 1st breath, chant…

Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Maaaaaaaaaaaa, then on the Aum, act like you are both savoring and swallowing your favorite dessert.

Inhale and continue for 22 repetitions.

Eyes should be at your 3rd eye, from where you will see the pearls of this mantra dropping down into your heart.

The last part is to please let me know how this is working for you. Do it for at least 21 days. But for real Olympian stature, do it for 1000 days. This brings mastery inside the mystery.

Please use this, and if you want a more permanent transformation into your Divine self, please accept my offer for a free 20 min. Strategy Session http://gurutejsessions.com and get your free session. I am only offering 3 this week, so please take advantage to shift your life into its most deliciously sacred place.

May the grace of endurance bless you with the determination to say yes to your sweet, yummy, vast heart by doing it each day. Just let the joy build. For love and joy are often harder for you to accept than hardship and pain. This is a snow board leap into the unknown. Are you ready to truly embrace and share true love—the kind that is not about owning anyone? Then step up to the brink and leap into Ra Ma Aum. It is the new fallen snow of heart meditations. Revel in it.

Remember, you can have this free strategy session with me. http://gurutejsessions.com

Wahe Guru love, love, love to you,

The Ahhh of Intimacy

Posted by Gurutej

· February 11, 2014

The Ahhh of Intimacy – What do sustained intimacy, deep yummy abiding patience, and the flow of relationships have to do with each other?

Do you find that you look at intimacy and think sensual and sexual partner, before making love and other such descriptions?
Do you find when you think of intimacy you have no idea what it really is?
Are you curious about intimacy but don’t know how it applies to you?
Do you find that you feel you know and want intimacy but you don’t seem to attract it into your life?

What if… just what if intimacy was an innate part of everything?

What if it is the longing to connect that is encoded in your every cell?

What if every living thing has this craving for connection on this deep intimate level?

What if intimacy is simple?

If intimacy was simple, would you run to embrace it? It is. You know why? Because truth is very simple and intimacy is truth made finite. Intimacy means you trust and can therefore reveal. Reveal your splendor; reveal your caring; reveal your gifts without the fear that they would or could be rejected or smashed. Would you want to embrace this sweet gift?

I am offering an intimacy support gift right now. http://darkhibernation.com

Take advantage of my delicious Valentine love offer.

Intimacy is the ground swelling up underneath you

pulling you down into its cozy nest

whispering sweet somethings to you

filling your ears, your eyes, your heart with this

elusive thing called

hope

Hop on hope

for its sweet warm fur is

ready for you to curl up in

The longing for certainty is what scares the

fluffy, love clouds away

The calling to be loved without

carrying that heavy bag of worry

that you will not be loved back,

the peaking ears of the unknown

listening to your longings,

the soft, luscious, rowdy lips that part to

blow your fears away

are all invitations to embrace the intimacy

This big ole hunk of now is offering in all

its overgrown, lightning speed, jumbled emotions

chaotic, unregulated, gaudy, lovely, and freakish

invitations to run towards and run towards

Run towards

that which is in front of you

beckoning with a crooked finger

Awaken to the intimacy

that is here

calling your name

pulling at the coattails of your fears

to uncover them

to unleash them

to offer you

what lies under them

the most juicy connection of intimacy with this hard

and soft moment.

I love your willingness to say, maybe or “yes, yes, yes.” Have an orgasm with your life for the Divine is calling you. This breath is that chance to say yes. This breath can change your mind, your life. This breath can call your attention to something so simple, so little, something so deep you can fall forever in love.

Say yes to you and book a strategy session with me while I am still offering them. http://gurutejsessions.com

20 minutes could change your life, your intimacy, and your Divine nature.

Wahe Guru love to you,

Gurutej Khalsa

Waking Up and Claiming Your True Power

Posted by Gurutej

· October 22, 2013

Waking Up and Claiming Your True Power

We are waking up to the facts that children need love and affection but they also need guidelines and discipline. They need to be heard and they also need to hear. We can’t understand child labor, but there was a time when we had that in our society. Work for children is not bad, it is necessary. Having your child to participate in the running of the home and school is a very good idea. Having them run it is not.

We are waking up to the fact that we don’t know how to have relationships. We don’t know how to play with life no matter what is dealt. We don’t know how to truly love and act from that state of innocence, for it makes us feel too vulnerable.

What we can know is how to connect with and feed the deepest part of ourselves. This is the part that will make us fearless enough to look past our own lives and see the global life; to see how we can be part of the creation of the next phase of life on earth and beyond. You are creative. Who knows what you can come up with? You might find the solution to one of the biggest problems facing “huemankind.”

I saw something about this man who was headed to medical school but his kid sister died of a heart problem. This prompted him to quit school and he invented a new heart valve so no one else would die of this disease unnecessarily. He then invented other things and opened businesses and became a billionaire. I’m saying that you are truly important in the scope of all that is shifting. Do what it takes to be connected to the vastness of you.

When you want to whine, do it for one minute; not an hour, or a day, or your lifetime. Look at what you got from that situation or realization. How can you turn that into gold? How can you use that as fodder for amazing things? You can do none of these great things without a neutral mind. Here are two things I love that can bring you back to the far-reaching vision of your neutral mind.

Meditation to Bring You Back to Neutrality

Bring the tips of your fingers together barely touching and right in front of your heart. Inhale (whispering Wahe Guru) and exhale (also whispering Wahe Guru). Do this as slowly as you possibly can (with both eyes focused on the 3rd eye). Do this for 3-11 minutes. You will have such a calm and clarity when you finish. This is what allows you to see from the mountaintop of your heart miles and miles in all directions.

To become empowered…

Another easy exercise tool is to take the tip of your tongue between your teeth (not biting, just resting the teeth on the tongue) and breath through the sides of the mouth. You can do this almost anywhere to regain your calm, your deep power.

At times, it may seem like you need to be doing these all day long. So do it. Get my Kundalini Yoga Flipcharts and use them. They can help you regain your neutral mind in record time.

Let me know your biggest challenge. I will connect back with you with tools and tips.

Love to you. Wahe Guru.

Life: What Rocks Your Boat?

Posted by Gurutej

· October 10, 2013

Life: What Rocks Your Boat?

I was walking down my stairs and that sentence came to me. I thought music, kirtan, dancing, teaching, connecting with friends, my grandchildren, son and daughter, being in love, being with my beloved doing anything, painting, writing, rollerblading, doing yoga, the ocean, swimming or snorkeling in the ocean, learning new things, seeing what I consider good art, travel, talking with little children (they tell you the most amazing things), teaching in other countries, connecting with people I don’t know or seem that I don’t know… and so much more—things that draw me in and make me feel part of the community aspect of life—the joyous community where we are encouraged to sing and dance, and see, and be.

What rocks your boat?

What gives you the juice?

How often do you do the things that rock your boat?

If we love something and yet withhold it from ourselves, then we are living a punishing life. I understand that some of the things you may love may not be good for you on many levels. I also know that when you keep asking the question more and more deeply, you will find that what you love and what feeds you (rocks your boat) really are good for you. Sometimes, we have to get past the punishing things we think we love but really they are to express our hatred of some aspect of our self. They are there to punish us much eeper than that lies what you really crave.

What you crave at 20 is not the same thing that you crave at 30, 40, 50, 60 or beyond. Look at what you love now, then look around and see what others older than you seem to be craving. Look with excitement. Look with eyes of peace. Look with adventure. Look with depth of heart. Look fearlessly to reveal truthfully what rocks your boat. Then please share it with me. I too want to know what rocks your boat.

Deep Love and Blessings,

Gurutej Khalsa
