Learning to Be!
So I’ve been thinking…
We toss around classical phrases on a daily basis. Usually, when a common phrase is thrown in my face I mentally pause to wonder where the saying originated. Well, after it’s stuck in my head, I’m quiet for a good chunk of time because I’d caught a train of thought headed toward a reasonable theory regarding the origin of said phrase.

Introduction
This is the online adjunct to our international, nonprofit Kundalini support newsletter, SHARED TRANSFORMATION. This bimonthly newsletter offers Kundalini information and provides a forum where individuals involved in the tremendous journey of awakening can exchange insights, explore the many dimensions of transformation, and share their personal Kundalini experiences.
Kundalini is the Hindu word for the sacred transformative element that awakens consciousness. When it becomes active, it is usually felt as a high vibrational, electromagnetic energy or powerful force in the body, and/or a strong sense of the inner presence of the Spirit.
1) What do you think triggered your awakening at the very moment it occurred?
2) On a separate piece of paper, or with copies of your own previous writings, explain what you are doing with those energies/abilities you acquired after the awakening.
Include information about (but not limited to):
Creativity
Mental Genius
Interest/Disinterest in the Occult/Spiritual
New fears, phobias
Confusion
Aches and pains
Manic/Depressive
Sleep patterns
ANYTHING that describes how you were affected, whether negative or positive

Most people think they are bad at meditating.
Can’t sit still and turn your thoughts off for at least 20 minutes?
You’re not bad at meditating, you’re just a human with a brain.
Actually, most of us already meditate—we just do it accidentally. You know that feeling when you are taking a shower, and the warm water pours over your body, and you forget what you were rushing to get ready for? Time disappears for a moment, and when you step out of the shower you snap out of it.
By visualizing your heart as a lotus flower, you can begin to create a safe, comfortable place for your mind to settle.
By Shiva Rea
In yoga and meditation, the heart can be visualized as a lotus flower unfolding at the center of the chest. Like a lotus that contracts and opens according to the light, our spiritual heart can be awakened through various yoga practices from asana practice to pranayama, chanting, and meditation.
The following meditation focuses the awareness on the seat of one”s lotus heart.
