Oh my mind practice Yoga in this way:


Let Truth be your horn, sincerity your necklace, and meditation the ashes you apply on your body.


Catch your burning soul (self) and stop the flames. Let the soul (self) be the alms bowl in which you collect the sweet Naam and this will be the only support you will ever need.


The Universe plays its divine music. The sound of reality is shrill, but this is where God is.


When you listen to the reality from this place of awareness the sweet essence of Raag arises.


Waves of melodies, emotions, and passions arise and flow through you. Bind yourself with the song of God.


The Universe spins like a potter's wheel and from it fly demons and angels. The sage listens to this and instead of getting caught in either one, the sage drinks in the nectar of the heavens and is carried to the heavens in a divine chariot.


Instruct and clothe yourself with self control. Meditate unto infinity until you are meditating without meditating.


In this way, your body shall remain forever golden, and death shall never approach you.


This is the translation of Ray Man Eh Bidh Jog Kamao authored by Guru Gobind Singh. Yogi Bhajan had this to say about this beautiful shabad,

"Guru Gobind Singh's entire bani is meant to penetrate through the mental
body, right into your own spirit. The secret of this bani; it is a pure Naad
Yoga. It is in Brij Baashaa language.


The combination and permutation of sound is totally practical in his bani.
The tongue creates a certain pressure on the upper palate. This shabad has
the capacity, if man is bewitched by incurable disease, if sung properly
through the tongue and mouth, can bring total health.
Each sound must be
said exactly correctly. It can lead to perfect state of mental health and
surrounding spirit."


Perfection of this shabad can make you like a Golden Buddha. You will have
wisdom, you will have purity of a yogi, and you will have an essence. I
request everyone who believes in higher values to remember this shabad in
perfect sound. It is very perfect combination. As a shabad you can sing 11
times a day, you will feel the miraculous effect of it on your body, mind,
and soul."


Complete Mantra:

Ray man eh bidh jog kamao

Singhee saach akapat kanthala

Dhiaan bibhoot charhaao

Taatee gaho aatam bas kar kee

Bichaa naam adhaarang

Baaje param taar tat har ko

Upajay raag rasaarang

Ughatay taan tarang rang atay giaan geet bandhaanang

Chak chak rahay dayv daanav mun

Chhak chaak biyom bivaanang

Aatam upadays bhays sanjam ko

Jaap so ajapa jaapay

Sada rahay kanchan si kaya

Kaal na kabahoo byaapay

UPGRADE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM WORKSHOP 9/3

Have you ever felt like you were overwhelmed, going to short circuit, or incapacitated by indecision? Someone says something to you and you inappropriately react, or you bottle things up inside and explode at someone else later. Or maybe you have a problem in your life and you can't step back and see the big picture and so you make short-sited decisions that don't benefit your soul's purpose. Do any of these sound familiar? Well, if they do, you need a nervous sytem upgrade!

Our nervous system needs care in order to remain healthy and serve us well. We have so many outer influences pushing us on a daily basis, many of which make us feel powerless and confused. With the change in the age, everything is amplified now....including the speed in which information and energy travels. It's a good idea to take steps to increase the capabilities of your brain and nervous system so you can stay one step ahead of this shift.

A strong nervous system will help you avoid "freaking out" when everyone else seems to be. You can, with your neutral mind and strong nerves, help others to help themselves. We can be the leaders and teachers that point the way to a peaceful and stress-free existence, instead of jumping ship. We can increase the generation of new brain cells through yogic exercise and meditation and reverse the natural loss of brain cells that occurs as we age. The nervous system and the glandular system work together to re-pattern the brain chemistry through the hypothalamus, the intermediary gland that is the master of the body-mind connection.

In my own life, I am experiencing tremendous change and external pressures and I am calling upon the fortitude of my nervous system through the practice of yoga sets designed to boost my "wattage" to support me during these challenging times. I am also working on strengthening my glandular system so that external stress will not cause internal stress and dis-ease. Meditating on expanding my aura and my radiance is helping to keep me "kept up" and protects me from illness, negative influences, and feeling run down or discouraged by the obstacles, challenges, and difficulties I encounter from day to day. Radiance gives you that all or nothing attitude and a strong aura will attract the positive and repel the negative as well as keep me in a position of security and confidence.

That's why I decided to teach this workshop. Since my teacher Harijiwan has said (and I paraphrase) "teach the class you want to take", I aimed to provide such a class for others. Even though as a teacher, I have taught these sets and meditations separately in my classes, they are especially powerful and effective when put together in this workshop format.

I hope you'll join me on Saturday, September 3 at 2:00-5:00 at Golden Bridge to boost your central nervous system, glandular system, radiant body; everything you need to be ready for YOUR future with powerful pranayam, exercise, meditation, information and FUN!
