So it’s December, and it’s… sort of cold… at least, for those who indulge in a cold shower in the early morning, the water is getting really good!
But we didn’t let the cold get to us last night – we hit the mat Jiva Mukti style, with some phat Michael Franti tunes, and kicked up some kundalini cardio. And it was good to sweat, let me tell you.
We dove deep into the heart center because there’s a chaotic, holiday season, winter solstice energy coming, and we need to go inside so that we don’t go crazy. People are going crazy now by trying their best to be normal. They’re killing each other for consumerism and clogging their bodies with sugar and butter and desperately doing everything that people are supposed to do for the holidays. But it’s not working.
It’s not working because being normal is the wrong way to stay steady in changing times. Instead of being normal, yogis just be themselves. We stay steady when everything around us is transforming. And, unlike the common call for “transformation” you hear around the corner of every yoga studio these days, kundalini yogis don’t transform anything about themselves. We’d rather just dump our garbage.
When the garbage is taken out, the house is clean. Your house, your body, mind, spirit, is perfect; but sometimes it gets messy. It gets clogged with television and political promises and opinionated bla bla bla. The subconscious is so full we can’t sleep at night. So we do what normal people do, take pills, so that we can defeat some made up disease called insomnia. But all we’re doing is keeping the garbage inside, and medicating ourselves into being bigger and bigger garbage cans.
The times we are going through call us to dump our bad habits, bad thoughts, bad speech, bad actions. Even Fox News is getting hip to it:
Time is now, now is the time. Whatever you give this holiday, remember to give your self to yourself. Remember that you are god, and feel free to drop all the guilt and depression that make an object out of god. Do your sadhana, clean yourself. Meditate on SA TA NA MA mantra, connecting at the fingertips, for 11 minutes, and just see what happens. Don’t transform anything – just discover how beautiful you already are!
And remember, the water is nice and cold this time of year
