version of "Gobinda Hari" (which translates to God my Sustainer).
Well, I never figured it out, but as I tried, something new emerged. In that
moment, the first song that I ever wrote came pouring out of me....I sang what
seemed like forever "Gobinda Gobinda Hari Hari..." Over and over
again...feeling God as the force that sustains me, rather than food etc.
Lifting me up and lifting me up!! And then english verse beagn to come to me as
well...and it turned out to be an 8 minute song in the end! Ha Ha! And I am
happy to report 4 years after the fact, I have just finished my first recording
experience and "Gobinda" was one of the songs that I recorded! So it's all come
full circle!
My other "all time favorite" 911 call is...
"Guru Guru Wahe Guru Guru Ram Das Guru"....I learnt my love of Guru Ram Das from
Guru Ganesha Singh...at my first summer solstice event, I had the privilege of
having my heart opened, while he sang a love song he had written about Guru Ram
Das to me in the "Ancient healing ways" trailer of all things! Ha Ha! And from
there, I have always found his love of Guru Ram Das contagious!
There is nothing that I'd rather do more than sing devotionally!
All Light,
Sat Sangeet Kaur

Re: Re: Addiction... learning about self-love
Sat Nam,
Thank you Sat Sangeet for sharing about how you connected with your deepest
urges to eat and how you used your will to break the cycle. It is very
important for everyone to know that we have to connect to yourselves and ALL
our feelings and instincts to shift patterns and rechannel our energy to
serve us, instead of sabotage us.
Often we think that if we just do yoga everything will be different. Well,
a daily KY practice certainly helps align our energies, but the inner work
of staying focused on ourselves to create shifts has to be part of our
regime.
Including baby pose in our daily practice offers a chance to physically be
cozy with ourselves. If this position is comfortable for you, then include
it and stay very present to your feelings and instincts at this time. This
can be a good position to "process" our emotions. (Not think about but to
actually feel the energies that move through our bodies.)
Sat Nam,
Gururattana
