3rd Day Sadhana
The celebration of Yogi Bhajans Birthday was different than Day 1 and 2 of Sadhana. For one there were more people, it started earlier and there were mor participants. AND...I slept. 3Ho saying for the day :"Woman's place is in her grace" Yogi Bhajan
Date: 8/26/2005 10:37:01 AM ( 19 y ) ... viewed 1499 times Today the celebration began an hour earlier 3am PST rather than 4am...I arrived in the dead of night, still asleep with a cold water splash on the face and barely brushed teeth.
The prayers were already in progess and it was a full house. Fourmen, 5 women and a child all sitting i easy pose on the floor. Today the lights were on! It's Yoga Bhajan's birthday...We are all praising and worshipping by observing the Sadhana internationally~ all 3HO members and KY practitioners are praying together, all at once.
But I am exhausted from my schedule of work, play, and the lesser hours of sleep! And as as prayers were up and chanting began, amny of the younger, and less healthy began to wrap themselves in blankets and let the men's chanting Long Ek Ong Kar carry them. I have always know that it is acceptable in Sadhana to show up and sleep, or lie down while others carried the resonance of the connector vibrations/words. But I like to exercise my ancient muscles and challenge myself to carry my portion of participation. It is empowering.
Today, I did the first round of chants that "Doc" lead. The second round of chants was lead by M, a woman...when I heard her voice I layed back on the pillow, and began to hear "You are cradled, you may sleep, the community is holding you up, and youeed do nothing, not puch yourself, not stay awake, nothing. You are here, relax and receive the enjoyment of the community. And out I went.
I awoke an hour later, with a blanket wrapped and tucked in on me, the woman to my right also covered, and spooning my back. ...and I was held safe in the Kundalini yoga community. The man to my left was wrapped in his blanket and facing away from me. A KY slumber party?
The men who had, for the most part carried the chant, all were up from their spots and and were no where in evidence.
I tried to unwrap myself and leave quietly.
For the first ime in a log time, I felt nothing was required of me and that I could lean on others to take care of things...I was not required to do anything.
