Sat Nam, 

This is the second article in a three part series that I am writing for Yogamint. This article is really about what to do when you have met someone you think might be right for you as a life partner, but how do you decide if it will really work forever? This article is inspired by my own experienced, and what worked for me. 

Here is the beginning of my article...Once you meet a potential partner, what happens next? It’s just as important to keep working on yourself when you are in a relationship as it is when you are hoping to find the “perfect match.” Especially for women, there is a tendency to focus all of your energy on your partner. However, it is of utmost importance to keep focused on yourself and all the important things in your life. This is a critical time, and you will need all of your resources to to handle the emotional ups and downs of courtship. By staying clear on your needs as well as your partner's, you will be able to use your intuition and discernment to protect yourself from anyone who is not worthy of your love. Learn to trust your instincts before becoming emotionally or physically intimate.

In your experience, what do you recommend to couples trying to make a decision about marriage, or life partnership?

Sat Nam, my celestial friends. Here is a video I'd like to share with you. My friend Hari Kaur created this Celestial Communication to a beautiful song, "Ajai Alai - Let there be peace" by Mata Mandir Singh. I have practiced this Celestial Communication many times with my friend Hari Kaur, and we have even led this one together at the Summer Solstice in New Mexico, with a thousand people moving like angels in unison. 

Practicing this mediation always brings me much joy and peace, and I hope it brings this to you as well. 
Many blessings, Adarsh Kaur

Sat Nam,

Yesterday I had a new experience - teaching at Santa Monica College. I was a guest teacher at Donna Quesada's Asian Philosophy class. I taught about Kundalini Yoga, Sikhism, and shared a little about my life's journey. And, we of course practiced Celestial Communication together!

The students were brave and jumped in with the new experience of Celestial Communication. So far in the semester, they have learned about Hinduism and Yoga. I filled them in on the practice of Kundalini Yoga as taught by Yogi Bhajan, and Sikhism, which is usually excluded from Asian Philosophy and Religion survey courses. 

At right, we are doing a Celestial Communication to the Mool Mantra from Japji Sahib by Guru Nanak. We also Celestially Communicated to "I Am What I Am" by Aykanna, which I like to think of as a modern way of saying "Sat Nam". 

The students asked brilliant questions, and I only wish that we had another hour together to thoroughly discuss them further!

At left, Professor Donna Quesada and I after class. Donna wrote a recent blog post about the benefits of mantra meditation, which I highly recommend. It is quite comprehensive. 

Many of the effects of mantra meditation, as explained in this post, also apply to Celestial Communication. There are aspects, such as the effect of correct pronunciation and the tongue hitting the roof of the mouth, which don't apply, but all of the other effects do! Plus, with Celestial Communication you get to harmonize the body, mind and spirit, and you literally embody the mantra. 



Many thanks to Donna for inviting me to share in her class, and for her enlightening article about mantra!

All blessings, Adarsh Kaur

Sat Nam!

In these tumultuous times - with natural disasters, political turmoil, environmental toxins and social change - it is important to keep your immune system, nervous system and aura strong. Most Kundalini Yoga kriyas focus on one or all three of these areas. Keeping a steady practice of healthy habits are more important than ever right now - whether you practice yoga and meditation, exercise, sitting still and listening, praying, sleeping well, sharing time and foods with friends, etc. 

Celestial Communication is an easy way to keep your aura strong - the movements of the upper body build up the aura, the energy field around you which protects you from your environments, illness, harmful people and situations. A strong aura also helps to keep your sense of self and identity when their is rapid change and uncertainty around you. And, very importantly, keeps you from becoming overwhelmed. Celestial Communication also supports a healthy immune system when you really stretch your arms and activate the lymph system with your movements. Celestial Communications using vigorous movements are especially helpful to the immune system.

In response to the events in Japan and the issues of nuclear radiation, 3HO has shared a Meditation for Atomic Radiation. Yogi Bhajan said about this meditation, "If your inside is in turmoil, this meditation will prevent you from dying. It can be done anytime, and its effects will be to calm you, to energize you, and to relax you." 

3HO has also shared nutritional information and baths to counter the effects of radiation. The truth is that most of us are affected by radiation all of the time. We are exposed to radiation with airplanes, x-rays and more. The good news is that there are simple foods to help; in addition to seaweed and miso, onions, garlic, carrots and beets help the body to handle and process radiation. Baths are another way to remove radiation and chemicals from the body. I have tried all of the baths that you can learn about in this link, and have found them very helpful to my overall health. 

If you would like to try any of the meditations from the "Survival Kit" Yogi Bhajan gave, which is currently out of print, 3HO has also provided these as a pdf file. These include the meditations to prepare for an earthquake, to rebalance after an earthquake, and several more to handle challenging times. I am so grateful for these incredible meditations, and that Yogi Bhajan shared them with us for these times!

Prayers for peace and healing light to surround our mother earth and its people. 

Many blessings to you all,
Adarsh Kaur

Sat Nam,

I have been having a wonderful time teaching Celestial Communication workshops and classes recently. During the last two months, I have taught workshops at Seventh Chakra Yoga in Huntington Beach, California and at Yoga Bindu in San Pedro, California, as well as my regular Friday class at Yoga West in Los Angeles, CA.

In these classes, I've shared two of my favorite quotations about Celestial Communication by Yogi Bhajan that I thought you might enjoy as well:  

"If we can teach Celestial Communication, we can cover all therapy in the world we need. It is highly relaxing, it is re-invigorating, and it is physical, mental and spiritual at the same time."

"This Celestial Communication is for when you cannot take care of your neurosis by any known method. Just a few minutes of doing it...There's no power more than the power of the word, and when the word is formed through the body, the entire being is purified, relaxed...Something has to be given to mankind to excel...and that is what we have done. We have transformed our songs to the strength of the celestial communication technique which is our gift to this world through us and through our children to follow. It relaxes the tense parts of the brain through the nerve connections, through the tip of the fingers which are the main active part and the meridians in this being because the fingers move with the prana to communicate - this cantaloupe becomes human brain. And the tension of the neuro-pattern is relieved into a relaxed pattern of its own originality." 

Three new workshops in the next few months have been scheduled: 

Celestial Communication Workshop at Seventh Chakra Yoga, Huntington Beach, CA 
Saturday, March 26th, 1:30-3:30 pm - $20
Saturday, April 23rd, 1:30-3:30 pm - $20

Celestial Communication Workshop at LYFE Yoga Center, Hermosa Beach, CA
Saturday, May 14th, 1:00-4:00 pm - $40

Later in March, I will also be joining my friend Donna Quesada, as a guest teacher at her Asian Philosophy class at Santa Monica College. And in June, I plan to teach a Celestial Communication workshop at the incredible Summer Solstice Sadhana Celebration in the Jemez Mountains of New Mexico. I hope to see you at one or all of these places! 

Blessings and blessings, 

Adarsh Kaur
