Sending Love, Light, and Healing Across Time & Space

It is possible to touch humanity everyday even if you see no one or talk to no one. It is called sadhana - praying and vibrating the Universe.
For the past 9 weeks, we have been studying the Yamas and Niyamas in yoga class, along with our yogic stretching; we discuss how best to incorporate these practices (restraints and disciplines) on the mat and off the mat.
Sending love and light and healing through non-violence, being truthful, letting go of the need for what others have that you don’t, sustaining our energy and being detached from outcomes are the Yamas in a practical sense. Yogi Bhajan taught that these and the niyamas master the negative mind.
And what is the negative mind?
Well in the most literal meaning – it is being depressed or pessimistic which does not bring out in a person light and joy or project that to the world.
In a yogic meaning, it is our protective or discerning mind. It can tell us the difference between what is good for us or not. If the negative mind is out of balance, we are out of balance, which may include anxiety and worry.
In come the Niyamas…
The Niyamas include: watching your thoughts and speech, acceptance of who you are, being present in your practice, reflection on the soul and finally faith or dedication to your Ishta (the one you call divine).
These are not easy to do or maintain but if you “keep up” and do your sadhana, attune to your thoughts and always project love and light, that’s Huge!

Watch your thoughts, they become words;
watch your words, they become actions;
watch your actions, they become habits;
watch your habits, they become character;
watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.
Lao Tzu

If you observe yourself and observe the way you speak to friends and family, the way you react when plans change, the way you hold yourself when walking or sitting, or even just the way in which you get dressed each morning… and then comply with the yamas and niyamas – you will indeed not only find peace within but reflect that peace to all.
 You can vibrate peace; you can project peace.
