IT'S A KUNDALINK SALE!

Did you know that now until May 17, if you put EAGLEROCK in the discount box, you'll get a 10% discount of just about ALL KUNDALINK products?  Well, that's the truth Ruth!  We're gearing up for Summer Solstice and you're probably gearing up too.  You'll need lots of things for camping and living on the land of Ram Das Puri, but you're going to also need some white cotton clothing that not only is easy to clean and breathes, but increases your aura by 1 1/2 feet!   That's right. White natural fiber clothing gives you an auric advantage.

This is the explanation that Yogi Bhajan gave as an answer to a question about the wearing of white natural fiber clothing taken from The Beads of Truth from Spring 1981:

  "We wear white because it's a simple scientific fact that every piece of matter or material has a foot and a half aura. Every animal has a three and a half foot aura. Every human has a nine foot aura. And if we wear the cotton and we wear the white, this color therapy gives us one extra foot of aura. So, I trust my students will behave right, but in case they behave like animals, they will still have a margin, an edge. And that is what it's all about. You have to wear a natural fiber and you have to wear white. It's a pure color therapy and it's called auric color therapy"
  
If you haven't tried wearing white, you should try it.  It makes you feel good. 

And you'll get that extra edge to "cover" you....just in case.  When I started to wear white, I noticed a vast improvement in how I felt, how much energy I had, and the way people reacted to my presence.  Of course I wear it when I teach, but out and about I noticed a significant change in how I felt.  

Our 100% cotton clothing is made of the finest cotton jersey that has been knit especially for us in Los Angeles and we fabricate here in Pasadena.  Everything is inspected and packaged here in Eagle Rock so that you get exactly what you ask for.  When we dye our clothes, each batch is hand done which is why we charge a little extra for our colors.  

EVERYONE loves our head covers because they are comfortable and easy to wear.  They are cut and sewn to the right length and width to cover most heads and they are made from cotton jersey so that little stretch makes them stay on your head....even in the most rigorous yoga exercise.  They are reasonably priced and we have three styles to choose from....Kundawrap, EZ wrap (less fabric with cap in the middle) and the Kundabini.  

So if you are starting to plan for solstice,  consider Kundalink.com. Of course, we'll have a table at the bazaar as always,  but why don't you start to wear your Kundalink clothes NOW?  We also have choice CDs and DVDs, books and manuals, Yoga Art, Tantric necklaces, and a handful of hand-picked personal and body products.  Each and every product we sell gets my personal stamp of approval!!!!

Have fun and be healthy! And stay tuned for our RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SOLSTICE BLOG which I send out every year in May. 

Sat Nam,

Ek Ong Kar Announces the Launch of her Kickstarter Campaign, WA HE GU RU

Sat Nam Everyone,

You are probably all familiar with my dear friend, Ek Ong Kar's (Elena Tchoujtchenko's) dynamic and heartfelt Solstice videos which have won Sikhnet awards and the attention of everyone in our community. Her beautiful Teacher Training videos are instructional as they are inspirational. All of her films invite so many beautiful souls to study the teachings of Yogi Bhajan and to pursue a path in Kundalini Yoga.

A Kickstarter campaign is for creative individuals who have specific projects they would like to see to fruition. Through Ek Ong Kar's devotion to the teachings, she has been able to document the lifestyles of many students and teachers of Kundalini Yoga. Over time she has witnessed tremendous growth, change and a blossoming which she is intending to depict in this film. Many of her films were created as a labor of love and also with the generous support of the 3HO's Summer Solstice Work-Study program.

You can read all about Ek Ong Kar (Elena) and her project, "WA-HE-GU-RU"(in the attached link) which needs to be fully funded within a certainamount of time. If the campaign funds ($16,000) are not collected in full by the deadline, not only will the project not get off the ground,but the donations toward the project will not be charged to your credit card.

Please consider being a supporter of my dear friend's amazing project...and please understand that any amount will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your generous support.

Peace and love always,

What are YOU doing on January 27th at 7:00pm?

Sat Nam Everyone,

I am writing today to tell you about the upcoming Teachers Training in Santa Monica with Harijiwan, Erin, and Tej. My teacher, Harijiwan, holds what I feel is the most powerful, instructive, and transformative Kundalini Yoga Teachers Training around. It starts January 27 and is being held in the Marina International Hotel; a very intimate and comfortable space to spend these eight intense yet enjoyable weekends together. I'm going to be there for the fifth time around...because I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world.

When I took the training for the first time, I had no intention of becoming a teacher of Kundalini Yoga. I thought it would be great way to deepen my practice and to hang out with other like-minded individuals. I was going through some difficult things in my life and I felt that taking the course would help me cope... and give me the tools to improve my life. WOW! I was not expecting the tremendous shift and expansion that ensued! In one of our last weekends, when we actually had to teach a yoga class for ourselves, I felt as if I was Cinderella slipping on that crazy glass slipper! As you all know, I have been teaching ever since that day. Many other people take the course and don't end up teaching...but they just improve their lives, like themselves better, have more energy, and enhance their relationships at home, at work, and in the world at large!

When you start the course, maybe you have no energy and you want to get some or maybe you have too much energy and and you're not good at managing it. You'll emerge from the course with a clear understanding of how to get it when you want it and how to use it so that it works for you. After just a few weekends, you'll begin dropping the emotional garbage that you've been carrying around with you for what seems like forever. A by-product of this is that start living your life without the burden of this subconscious chatter. It's BLISS, plain and simple. That's why I like to think of this training as the best Energy Management and Bullshit Reduction course out there!

If you would like to know more about it, please feel free to write to me at raghubirkk@gmail.com , call Erin directly at 310-392-3638, and/or visit the website www.harijiwan.com

I really hope you'll consider taking this on. It changed my life in ways I cannot even begin to explain here, but suffice it to say that I have never been happier in my 57 years and I owe it to the Teachers Training. It got the ball rolling in the RIGHT DIRECTION.

I'm going to take it again this year because it's just that good.....and it keeps getting better and better.

See you there!

Raghubir Kaur

Eagle Rock Kundalini Center 12/15

VIBRATE THE COSMOS; THE COSMOS WILL CLEAR THE PATH or I'M DIGGING THOSE GOOD VIBRATIONS

This Thursday 12/15, riding the wave of the powerful full moon/lunar eclipse combination last weekend and coming up to the Winter Solstice next week on December 22 (when we will be holding a special WINTER SOLSTICE MEDITATION CELEBRATION) we will delve into the Aquarian Sutra, "Vibrate the Cosmos; the Cosmos will Clear the Path".

What does this 5th sutra mean? Funny enough, it's about the 5th chakra. The power of the 5th chakra can clear the path to a direct relationship with our true self through the sound of our own vibration. Using the shabd guru on a daily basis, aka the universal vibration, assists us in reaching our highest potential.

How do we do this? One way is by chanting; out loud, in a whisper, or silently. When we chant, we change our mental frequency and that changes our emotional response to situations and our environment. When we vibrate with the cosmos, we change the circuitry in our brains as well as stimulate the glandular system to facilitate healing. Yogi Bhajan said that chanting out loud is the voice of humans, chanting in a whisper is the language of lovers, and silently vibrating the sounds is the language of the divine.

Any way you look at it, "vibrating the Cosmos" bring a consciousness to our words and our tone of voice. By choosing what we say and how we say it, we can create a free-flowing enjoyable existence.

The Gong is another tool to vibrate the cosmos. My teacher Harijiwan, who is a master of the Gong, describes this phenomenon:

"Nothing compares to the gong’s ability to create in the human the Divine sound, which allows entry into the state of Anahat, and causes the sound to resound within. Only the gong can produce this combination of space vibrations. It is this productive sound that changes the pattern of the brain neurons for positive purposes. No effort or practice is required to participate. We can not avoid interlocking with the sound of the gong, because we are a byproduct of the wave and the strength of the wave that is called light and sound. It is the sound of Creativity itself. The gong takes us directly into the original sound current, into perpetual sound—out into space, into space, into space. This unlimited sound vibrates and creates light, creates life. The sound of the gong becomes the sound of the Universe."

Please visit Harijiwan's website page for a more in depth discussion about the power of the Gong and how its vibrations cause joy and bliss.

So back to this Thursday night at 7:00...we will experience this bliss through the activation of the 5th chakra, through chanting, and with a long gong meditation. Please come with a blanket, mat, or pillow and bring a friend! All are welcome.

Yogi Tea is served at the end and its a cozy environment for deep connection with our true selves and other like souls. Suggested donation is $15

Sat Nam,

Raghubir Kaur

ADDENDUM to Self-Worth and the Art of Prosperity

Last Saturday, I taught the workshop entitled "Self-Worth and the Art of Prosperity" at Golden Bridge. In the 3 hours we had together, we did self-empowering navel centered exercises and a series of 6 meditations that did everything from allowing us to spit out all unwanted thoughts and negativity to bringing us into a deeper connection with our purity and grace.

"MAKE NO EXCUSES FOR YOUR DESIRE TO BE PROSPEROUS. IT IS A DIVINE DESIRE THAT SHOULD BE GIVEN DIVINE EXPRESSION." - Yogi Bhajan

Through the practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation, we can all affect the way we move through life and how the energy of the cosmos moves through us. When everything is flowing and we are open to receive God's grace, WE EXPERIENCE PROSPERITY IN ALL IT'S FORMS.

In the workshop, we specifically dealt with removing feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness and the anger that covers it up and pushes it deeper and deeper into our body and soul. We also meditated on the idea that we are afraid of shining our beauty, power and magnificence for fear that it would infringe on others....thereby making us guilty of a sort of false humility. I read a quote from Marianne Williamson's book "A Return to Love" (which I include here) and I promised those interested (and you know who you are!) print-outs of two of the meditations that closed out our workshop.

MEDITATION FOR SELF AFFIRMATION - powerfully affirms our purity, grace and mastery and our worthiness to receive. We can use this affirmation as a guideline for our lives.

Sit in Easy Pose with straight spine interlace the hands in Venus Lock in front of the Heart Center with elbows down and relaxed. Close the eyes and chant in a monotone: Me Within Me is the Purity. Me Within Me is the Reality. Me Within Me is the Grace. I am the Master of the Space. Listen carefully to yourself as you chant. Continue for 11 minutes. Then, inhale deeply...hold the breath and tighten every fibre of the body in alignment with that purity. Exhale. Repeat once more. Then inhale deeply...exhale...and relax.

THREE MINUTE MEDITATION FOR PROSPERITY AND SELF-ESTEEM - A short and sweet meditation that you can do several times a day.

Sit in Easy Pose with straight spine, look down towards the center of the chin with closed eyes, OR focus on the tip of the nose with eyes one-tenth open. No mudra specified. Inhale deeply, hold the breath and mentally recite: I am bountiful. I am blissful. I am beautiful.Then exhale completely and hold the breath out and mentally recite: Excel, excel, fearless.Continue for 3 minutes.

Marianne Williamson's quote is:

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others".

Here are some of Yogi Bhajan's affirmations. It is effective to use silent inner mantras like these throughout your day.

I am the light of my soul. I am beautiful. I am bountiful. I am bliss. I am. I am.

Healthy am I. Happy am I. Holy am I.

I am success with my divine.

And lastly, try these four tips for stepping out of lack and into prosperity:

1. say "NO" to self-destructive behavior. BE POSITIVE. Listen to what you say to yourself and to others...and replace the negative with positive!

2. Set a win-win tone for your life. Letting go of negative patterns allows you to see more positive things in yourself and others.

3. RELAX. Negative tension keeps the blessings and opportunities at bay.

4. STOP WORRYING - what a waste of energy...and it just creates more negativity!

"Negative thoughts are the base of your misfortune and poverty - when you allow them, the loss is yours. Positive thoughts are the base of prosperity and contentment - when you allow them, the gain is yours" - Yogi Bhajan

Sat Nam,
