Being the Lighthouse in a Dark Season

2/22/2017

“In all darkness, there is a light and in all light there is a darkness.” -Yogi Bhajan
Picture
Part of the unique beauty of the tradition of Kundalini Yoga is that it acknowledges the imperfections in us as human beings. That there are shadowy parts of ourselves, yet we can be a beacon to others by shining our light. No matter what our mistakes may be, our birthright is happiness!

Often the winter is a time of gentle self-reflection and hibernation. It can be a time of realization of some shedding or releasing aspects of our lives, mental habits, and past trauma. The feeling over overwhelm can quickly overtake us, whether from our own mind or from challenging situations or relationships. A mantra that I love for these times is:
Ang Sang Wahe Guru
This powerful mantra can be translated as “Within every cell of my being, dwells the Infinite Source of All.” This is my go-to mantra that seems to come to me anytime I need to steady myself. Its power lies in reconnecting us to our greater limitless self. I have chanted Ang Sang Wahe Guru while driving in my car to job interviews, while walking home on shaky legs post-presidential election, and while kneeling on the floor as my child had a huge meltdown.

Below are instructions to meditate on your own with the mantra Ang Sang Wahe Guru. May you continue to Shine Your Light wherever you can.

Blessings and Sat Nam,
Laurel Clohessy (Deshpal Kaur)
To really connect with this mantra, sit in easy pose with a straight spine and place your hands in Gian Mudra (thumb and forefinger touching). Take as much time as you need...try 11 minutes or 31 minutes. Feel your inner guidance, the Source Energy within each cell (the Ang Sang Wahe Guru), and you will know the appropriate amount of time for YOU to chant.
