“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…
“When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious. It is all you and it is all about you. When you live consciously, you make a choice. That choice has to be valid and fully from the heart; a choice without duality and with complete clarity. Then you direct your mind – your head – to act on it. You direct your mind to commit and go for the goal you choose.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““When you bring your soul and your will together you become conscious…”
Meditation: NM327-990930 Know Your Heart
Yogi Bhajan – NM327 – September 30, 1999
Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Place your right hand on your heart and extend the left arm forward at a 60 degree angle, palm facing forward, as if you are blessing the universe. Inhale through the “o” of the mouth and exhale through the nose. Eyes are 1/10 open and focused at the tip of the nose. Continue for 11 minutes.

Today: Deliverance and Enthusiasm
A thunderous cloudburst relieves the oppressive tension. Liberation comes from releasing all expectations and resentment of others. Free yourself of the endless vigil of policing the behavior of others. See them for who they are, not what they can or can’t do for you. Continue reading “Today: Deliverance and Enthusiasm”
“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…
“You produce a life full of things, but you are absent. It is a life with no juice, no essence, no heart, and no reality. It lacks confidence, penetration, and impact. The mind was given to you to relate to Infinity, and consciousness was given to you to live. If you react and project mentally, and then depend on that, you as you are just zero. Anything multiplied by zero will become zero. With this habit even your elemental personality will eventually become zero and leave no trace.” Yogi Bhajan Continue reading ““You produce a life full of things, but you are absent…”
Today: Expansion
You will progress in every endeavor. A joyful awareness of the best within you, along with your shortcomings, provides a depth and clarity that will compel you to expand your horizons. Your benevolence, sacrifice and kindness born of necessity will be recognized and have great influence.
“You and your mind must meet…
“You and your mind must meet. If you rush ahead of your time and space, if you depend on the shortcuts your mind projects, your life will be half digested, and you will carry a bad smell.” Yogi Bhajan

Yogi Bhajan’s Seven Steps to Happiness
Today: Lying low attracts success
Small things may be done, big things should not be done. Lying low with modesty will bring surprisingly good fortune. If you seek help from competent sources with proven records rather than high profile personalities then you will succeed. Continue reading “Today: Lying low attracts success”
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…
“You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it. It takes a thought and magnifies it, twists it left and right, and creates many short cuts, illusions, dreams, and temptations. It creates a mirage, and asks you to walk on it! Continue reading ““You depend on the mind, but you cannot rely on it…”
Today: Breakthrough with caution
Rain fortune upon those in need, then move on with no thought of the good you do. You may accomplish anything you set out to do.
“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact…
“Perhaps you do not understand one fundamental fact: you, as a living consciousness, are subject to time and space. It takes time to do something, and it requires space to do it in. But the mind by nature is faster than time and space. This is a split.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Attraction, influence and contagious enthusiasm
Listen to the primal rhythm of the tides deep in the unconscious. Recognizing the attraction between affinities is a general law of nature. Heaven and earth attract each other and thus all creatures come into being. From the attractions they exert we can learn the nature of all beings in heaven and on earth. Meditate and know these things without doubt as they appear first in sensations in the back of the neck.

“If you do not find that ground where you and your mind can meet…
“If you do not find that ground where you and your mind can meet, you become nothing but a suffering man.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Today: Peace and blessings
Heaven and Earth embrace, giving birth to Peace. Peace brings the promise of prosperity, although it is very fragile. When things turn, do not chase the balance that once was. Just bless, bless, bless. When you bless, you are blessed.
“If you do not depend directly on your consciousness…
“If you do not depend directly on your consciousness, you are not you at all. When you are not you in the beginning and core of each action, then there is nothing you can do which will be true, and there is nothing you can do which can make you happy.” Yogi Bhajan
