“You know each other, because you were all born in the same time and space as a batch of the third millennium. No matter where we live—we have all come to the planet Earth. You know that you are here. Do you accept that everyone knows everyone? Do you ever go up to someone and say “Hi, you are here, I am here!” without knowing the person’s name? Whenever dealing with people, remember you are here along with everyone else all of the time.” – Yogi Bhajan
Balancing projection with intention
Yogic scriptures tell us of the four stages of the mind: normal awareness, the dream state, total mental rest, and total awareness. Mastery of this meditation enables the practitioner to master these four levels of the mind. It can create a mental equilibrium so that our expression will be consistent with our intention.
Contemplating our intention will align our intention with our identity.
Living above denial and the faculty of self engagement
When we feel badly about what is going on around us, and feel helpless to do anything about it, we are denying who we are and separating ourselves from it. Rather, we should know the self that is equal to the challenge and engage it rather than separate or shrink from it.
Increase the flow of spirit in you
When everything is upside down and stagnation and chaos prevail, it is time to be and not do. There is nothing to do personally but peacefully participate in the divine flow. That flow is present even in chaos and will emerge as the way everything will eventually right itself. The situation is too complex to force any single remedy successfully. Relying on your inner worth with perseverance and being in the flow will allow divine wisdom to take its course.
From “It is time to be and not do”.
Develop patience and intuition
You must consciously breathe the breath of life. Give yourself a chance to wait, and the patience to understand. When you meet and talk with somebody, or think about somebody, you cannot even think of that person’s condition if you do not use patience and intuition. If you do not use patience and intuition you will do a lot of wrong. Patience and intuition are essential in order to meditatively assess what is going on.
About this page
After the women’s march, it is useful to contemplate what comes next. As individuals, a community and a nation, men and women, we can look first within ourselves to know our light, find our strengths, and gather the means for making an effective impact that will heal our communities and bring them together, local and global. Then we can reach out and join with others communicating our ideas and plans.
I have begun this page as a means of reminding us of the motivations that brought everyone together and as a means of sustaining the internal space that it opened in us through that experience. It is a collection of meditations that I feel will contribute to that intention. All the meditations were given to us by my teacher, Yogi Bhajan. They come from the tradition of Kundalini Yoga, which is simply a technology that gives us tools for living a happy life.

When limitations meet you at every turn, be still. When the obstacles are removed, do not hesitate to move forward, lest opportunity be wasted. Act, then wait to see the product of your efforts before moving on.

Do not dally with the dark elements among the light. Do not engage with the seductive wiles of those who would bring you under their influence, harmless as they may seem. Hold to your light. You don’t need to surrender your power to others who would usurp it.

Meet with opposition not as an adversary but as a polarity within a whole. Even as you are checked and hindered, insulted and dishonored, do not be misled into believing it. Whatever you are doing, see it through. In the end you will bring unity to the community, fellowship.

Yogi Bhajan – NM091 – November 10, 1992
And put this straight and look at the tip of your nose please and then you will find a Blue Lagoon underneath, hold that please, very dearly.
Left Jupiter (index) finger touches forehead. Right Jupiter,Saturn fingers up at sides. Tongue at upper palate. Molars tight. Eyes 9/10 closed, looking at the tip of the nose. Pump the navel.

Bring people together and lead them. You will gain their confidence through your steadfastness and intensified, unswerving devotion to duty. Proceed with responsive devotion, receptive influence. Deal with reality as it is, not as you would have it be.
If you realize that you are the receptor, not the transmitter of the stimulus, you will find yourself reaching goals that seemed unattainable under your own steam. Engage in quiet perseverance. Continue reading “Today: Bring people together and lead them – from the I Ching”
Evil must be openly discredited. Not through force, but through awareness, leadership and the firmness of resolution. We must choose with whom we have relationships, personally, and collectively, and cast off those that do not serve.
