One cannot successfully seek justice alone. It requires a collective, organized effort by people aligned in their needs and goals in order to oppose oppression, injustice and any threat to their wellbeing. Recruiting allies in such an endeavor is like building an army. Continue reading “Today: Recruiting allies – from the I Ching”
Yogi Bhajan – Espanola January 28, 2000
1. Sit straight in a cross-legged position. Hold your hands in Sarab Gyan Mudra in front of the heart—fingers interlocked with the index fingers extended pointing up and thumbs crossed. Eyes are closed. Chant along with Nirinjan Kaur’s Ong Namo Guroo Dayv Namo mantra. Continue for 11 minutes

“If you give your Self a chance, your Self will give you all the chances.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Enduring union is characterized by a constant movement and renewal that is not worn down by hindrances, but rather relies on the immutable laws of nature upon which the union is based. Marriage is such a union, with vows that last to the death. The United States is such a union, based on unalienable rights. Continue reading “Today: Enduring union – from the I Ching”
“Prayer is the only power we have. It is my personal individual belief that prayer can change the Universe. Politics and power cannot.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Let it happen. Yesterday’s reading indicated that a breakthrough is near. It has not happened yet. Until then, oppressive powers are on the march and are nearing their zenith. Misfortune has reached its peak. Once complete the occupants of seats of power will begin to break the structures of power and themselves. It cannot be avoided. Let it happen. It is wise to submit and avoid action. Continue reading “Today: Let it happen – from the I Ching”
A breakthrough is in the works. Even though outwardly we appear to be in a time of grave danger, have no fear. You can ride it out. It is a time when inferior people gradually begin to disappear. Their influence is on the wane; as a result of resolute action, a change in conditions occurs, a break-through. Continue reading “Today: on the cusp; fearlessly use your natural attraction and influence – from the I Ching”
“We chant mantras so that our souls may be ignited like candles. We walk in the light of this beauty.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Hold index (Jupiter) fingers straight up at the sides, near the ears. Hold the other fingers with the thumbs. Jupiter fingers are straight and stiff. Sit straight, chin in, chest out. Eyes are closed, looking at the chin from the inside. Breathe long and deep. 27 min.
Raise arms up straight, holding mudra with Jupiter fingers. Stretch arms straight, stretch the whole body. Hold 1 1/2 min.
Cross arms, above head, keeping straight. Arms do not touch. 1 min. Switch arms, crossing for 1 min.
“To conquer the unknown you must trust.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Lie low, do not fly too high. Be patient, good things will come.
“You don’t have to learn to be wise. If you just flow you can be successful. Mother Nature will carry you.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
You didn’t cause it, but you can help to sweep away corruption and stagnation that has been allowed to develop by those who have gone before you. In doing so, you will need the help of others. Through your own radiance and strength of spirit, inspire others to take up the cause to right the wrongs and together purify the consciousness of your community. Speak gently and subtly and allow your intentions to be carried on the wind.
“The strength of the man does not lie in what he has, but what he can give. Only those can give who have the capacity to tap into the Universe. If the Universe is not in your mind, your heart cannot give.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
Differences seem irreconcilable. What should be understood is that differences of individuality are internal and need not preclude coming together over external matters that affect both parties. Through minimal discourse small things may be resolved even if great undertakings may not succeed given the climate of divergent views. What precludes any progress toward reaching agreement is the notion of each party that the other is the enemy. Continue reading “Today: Reconciling differences – from the I Ching”
“Every disability is imagined. Every achievement an experience. Develop your courage to overcome your imagined disability.” Yogi Bhajan
(via Ram Anand)
