Taking Orders Can Make You Sick. How to Thrive by Leading Yourself.

Dear Friend,

Having to take orders all the time is not good for your health. This is especially true in a work environment.

The reason why is because “ low control at work raises stress hormones like cortisol. Chronic stress increases the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease”[1].

In addition to that, “Feeling powerless leads to emotional exhaustion and low motivation”. Plus, “not making your own choices harms your mental well-being”[1].

In the circumstances, what can you do?

The recommended advice is to: 1. set boundaries 2. seek autonomy 3. talk about it 4. plan an exit.[1]

This may work for some people, but not for everybody. Here’s why your yoga has you covered.

When your kundalini rises up from her seat in the Muladhar (sacrum bone), she enters your abdominal viscera, referred to in yoga as the ‘Void’ or ‘Bhavasagara’ (meaning ‘ocean of illusion’).

As she spreads out in your Void, she begins to enlighten your ‘guru tattwa’, the essence of self-guidance that everyone has within them.

This inner light brings the beginning of self-knowledge (‘atma-bodha’) through direct experience of your ‘subtle body’ (‘sukshma sharira’) when you can feel your own vibes.

By establishing yourself in your self (atma / spirit) with your daily meditation, your Sahasrara chakra (crown) blossoms and manifests as ‘Nirishwara’, meaning ‘no overlord’ or ‘no master’.

You have a subtle crown on your head, which is symbolic of ‘self-rule’ (‘Swaraj’).

Though in the mundane setting of a work environment, you may seem bound by the need to comply, it doesn’t really touch you. It all runs off you, like water off a ducks back.

The result is that not only are you able to protect your physical, mental and emotional well-being, you can actually thrive as well. More below.

Best wishes

Well-Oiled - Clearing Your Head with Ghee in Your Nostrils (Ayurvedic Treatment).

The downside of spending time, as most of us do, in air-conditioned spaces is that the cool air can dry out the nasal passages, reducing it’s ability to filter out atmospheric pollutants. This can lead to low mood, fatigue and headaches. A few drops of ghee in the nose regularly, can help protect you. The added bonus is that doing this also improves your hamsa chakra, helping you to make better decisions …Lean Back .

Balancing Brilliantly - Achieving Your Mastery (a Meditation).

If you find yourself constantly juggling your priorities to keep other people happy, while neglecting your own needs, then you may have to go back to surfing school to learn how to balance better and be a better negotiator.

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Call No Man, Master.

The highest thing within you is your spirit (atma). Since your spirit is a reflection of the ‘Supreme’ (para-atma), it cannot be subordinated to anything or anyone. It’s only your kundalini that helps you to realise this through meditative experience. Kick the false gurus to the kerb…Stay Zen .

Quote of the Week

“Now, you must know that your spirit is your guide; that you are your own guru; you are your own master.

For this you just have to put your right hand on the left side of your stomach, to nourish your guru principle.

At this point, you have to say with full confidence : ‘Mother, I am my own master; Mother, I am my own guru; Mother, I am my own guide. Say it ten times. With full confidence.

Now don’t think of any other gurus. Forget them. You are your own guru. You don’t need a guru. Your spirit is going to guide you. Your vibratory awareness is going to guide you.”

My kundalini was up all day today, even when I wasn’t meditating. It was really nice, and my day went so smoothly. I don’t always get this experience. Why does it happen some days and not others?

Reply:

A simple analogy might explain why on some days you’re able to feel your kundalini on top of your head more strongly than other days.

Imagine your kundalini as a gently flowing river. Anything that falls into the river can act like a dam that impedes the flow.

Within your subtle body, ‘catches’ (blocks) on chakras can act like a dam to the free flowing kundalini. the clearer you are, the better and stronger the flow.

This is why, apart from the obvious benefits to your health and well-being, it’s useful to pay attention to the state of your chakras using the chakra-care guide.
