Sat Nam

Message from the 3HO Chief Executive Officer

Sat Nam,

I am writing this on Monday as I am making my way to Yoga Borgo in Umbria, Italy, for two weeks. Although Mercury is now out of retrograde, so far two out of two flights have been delayed between two and three hours each. I have been traveling since 7 a.m. this morning, it is now 5 p.m., and I am still in the U.S., currently in Dallas, TX. I still have ahead of me over 20 hours of air time, layovers, buses and trains – oh my!

This period of Mercury in retrograde was a challenging one for me (and for some others that I know, too). The best thing that we can do in challenging times is to do our best and keep up and know that this, too, shall pass.

One of the things I enjoy the most about traveling, besides getting to experience new cultures and see the world, is the fresh perspective gained on your own life as a result of being removed from the day-to-day activities of your normal routine. This is a good thing. Don’t misunderstand, I enjoy my life, I also appreciate learning something new about it (and myself) while traveling afar.

Nearly 48 hours later and now in Italy:

We made it. I am traveling with two others and we survived the 30 hour journey here and slept for nearly 14 hours afterwards. I am grateful to be here in this beautiful retreat and with people I love.

A time of great change is upon us. As individuals, as students, as teachers, as communities, as spiritual beings, as leaders of the Aquarian Age or whatever title/s you choose – now is the time to honor your intuition, listen to your soul, share what is within your heart, and communicate the language of love more than ever.

“Often care of the soul means not taking sides when there is a conflict at a deep level. It may be necessary to stretch the heart wide enough to embrace contradiction and paradox.” ~ Thomas Moore


Love and light,

From Aquarian Times

Call for Contributions
The February 2010 issue about “Women as Leaders in the Aquarian Age.”

Yogi Bhajan said that women are sixteen times more intelligent and intuitive than men, and that when a woman falls, a generation falls. He taught that women are not 'chicks,' they are eagles. It was his desire to see women of consciousness and grace become leaders in the Aquarian Age.

• How have Yogi Bhajan's teachings on Women helped you to become a strong, secure, confident woman?
• Tell us of your journey from 'chick' to 'eagle.'
• How do you see the world changing as more and more Aquarian Age women emerge in their communities as leaders?
• How are you sharing the Women's Teachings in your community?

Last call for your stories. Send to GuruTeraK@AquarianTimes.com by October 7.

Unshackling the Infinite Mind
A Ten Day Meditation

There are 72,000 thousand channels in the body through which pranic energy travels. Of these the most important are the Sushumana, the Ida, and the Pingala. All three of these channels meet and synchronize at the base of the spine.

The following meditation is a secret from the realms of the most sacred knowledge that exists to serve humanity. It prepares the spiritual nerve channels and allows the Kundalaini to rise. To experience the effects of this ten-day meditation series taught by Yogi Bhajan, proceed as follows:
