Your handicaps travel ahead of you, and your reputation is known before you even reach a place. So it is very beautiful for humans to drop their past, change their attitude, have an altitude, and make sense to themselves.

A Message from the General Manager of 3HO
Sat Nam. The Solstice Sadhana season is here and I am already feeling its powerful transformational effects. This time of the year is one of my favorites as we prepare for our largest annual event, Summer Solstice Sadhana. This celebration brings together more than a thousand spiritual beings from around the world, all of whom share the mutual intention of personal transformation, finding inspiration within community and seva, and offering peace to everyone throughout the world. I am going to be working in the Customer Service trailer at Summer Solstice Sadhana, and I look forward to meeting you, so please stop by and say hello. Blessings to all, Bhajan Kaur

Rock Pose or Easy Pose?
Question: Many Students feel Rock pose is more comfortable than Easy Pose during yoga class or meditation. Is it acceptable to use them interchangeably, especially if one has back problems?
Answer: For many Westerners people who are not trained to squat or sit on the ground, it is uncomfortable to sit cross-legged in Easy Pose. It is in fact not “easy” at all. The central need is to have a straight spine, all locks applied appropriately, and an alert mind.
Sitting on the heels in Rock Pose, using a small bench, sitting on firm meditation pillows, or sitting straight in a stable, firm chair can be close substitutes for Easy Pose.
Full Lotus provides the best meditative advantage since it automatically locks the projection from the Navel Point, applies a light mulbandh, and balances the energy of the Earth and the Ether through the upturned soles of the feet.
Easy Pose does not lock the Navel Point and sacral motion as tightly, so it requires a gently applied mulbhand. Rock Pose requires the mulbhand and additional focus on the spine to keep it straight and aligned. It lessens the lock on the sexual area, so it needs a slightly more conscious application of the Root Lock. Rock Pose does have the benefit of stimulating the digestive functions from the pressures in the buttocks and quadriceps.

Sat Nam,
Although I have been in Italy for over two weeks now, this is my first update where I actually am going to talk about being here.
In an overall assessment, Italy is great! People here seem to be very friendly and very animated. The food is always delicious and it's easy to overeat. Also the architecture and the many historical monuments are beautiful to gaze upon.
While I stayed in Milan for the first two weeks, I was very fortunate to attend a great Kundalini Yoga class and then a three hour workshop. They were both with Sangeet Kaur at her yoga center. Wow! I hadn't done Sat Kriya in a while. Unfortunately I just missed Sat Nam Rasayan healer Guru Dev Singh Khalsa, who gave a workshop the weekend after I left. I am sure I will get to learn with him this summer.
