Happy and scared and happy

I am in a lovely mood, feeling scared. It's loking more and more likely that I will visit the European yoga festival this summer and somehow this is a bit scary for me.

MrSikhnet linked to a musician called Hargo, he is a really talented musician(I am a rockchic at heart) but I got totally hooked on his TurbanCam of an India visit. Check it out!

Have a nice weekend, sweet cybersangat!

Love & light as always,

Powerful

I've joined Spirit Voyage 40 day sadhana, and wow! what a powerful combination of meditations. This is the first day, and this is going to some powerful 39 days ahead.

After the Burn Inner Anger meditation my whole body vibrated, wonderful. And the beautiful Guru Ram Das chant just lifted the soul. I love it, it's true humbling that I get to receive these experiences. I am so grateful for living this life.

These meditations were chosen Snatam Kaur and her husband Sopurkh Singh for Spirit Voyage 4th global 40 day sadhana.



Have you joined this sadhana? What are your experiences?

Live in light & love,

Physical pain

Yesterday evening I fell, from the middle of the stairs and a few steps down. I mostly OK but my right foot hit the banister splints. It hurt, and still hurts. I cried like a baby, of fear of what could have happened. I got scared. Yesterday and today my lovely husband has given me lot of attention.

Here is a wonderful video with Guruka Singh talking about judgement of other, he is so wise and I get really inspired by him. I have stumble upon quite a lot of video clips where he talks about different topics, I know where to find them if I wanted to see them but they have come to me with me seeking them so I guess I needed them.


If you can't see God in all, you can't see God at all! as Guruka says in this video, I think it comes from Yogi Bhajan.

Guruka also says you are a sikh is you belong to the guru... if he has touched your forehead.

Love & Light,

Inspiration

Stumble over this video by Gurujot today, it is about the sikh lifestyle. Inspiration when I needed it the most. Thank you!

Bird, cats, politics, kara, satisfaction, dreams

Bird
I had to kill a bird. And I cried like a baby, the loss of just one little birds life was so awful. On of my cats had taken it and it was still alive but very hurt, so I had too but I wonder, could it have recovered? Now the tears come again. But what are you to do, I do not want to see any animals suffer. Did I do wrong? What do you think?

Cats
My cats have been cuddling like, well, I don't know what after the bird killing incident. Perhaps they know that I'm not so happy with them. But it is their nature to kill birds, so what can you do? They are what they are, and they are beautiful. I very happy that we have them in our home.

Politics
Elections are coming up here in Sweden and I have been very ambivalent on how much time and effort should put into this. Now I have decided, started and it feels great. I asked for guidance and I got it, in one way or another. :-)

Kara
I been thinking about wearing a kara for the last few days, again. I always think, think, think about the kara. I am almost ready, I want to be reminded every day, every moment. But do you sleep with the kara on? I don't know, do you?

Satisfaction
I am happy, I feel the love. I wanna give love.

Dreams
I dream of meeting my dear blogging friends someday, and by the guru's grace will. If it was meant to be that why. I have faith. It is wonderful.

Love & bliss,

I can't resist music

I can't resist it any more, I want to play and I want to sing. And since me and my sister both want to play the guitar, and I do not want to fight her to get hold of the guitar, I have come up with an alternative plan: I have collected my sisters old keyboard(with her consent) from our parents house. And now I am playing my chords on the keyboard instead. Singing and playing along with Snatam Kaur and GuruGanesha here in my living room, they are not here for real of course, they are singing from my stereo and I sitting here with my keyboard and the computer in front of me. I have been singing my heart out in Sat Narayan and Hari Om. On the computer I am looking sites with chord on the piano so I know where on the keyboard to press my fingers, while trying to move my fingers on the actual keyboard. Here is one piano chord site I have found. This is fantastic, I can play and I can sing, I sure it would sound like crap to you, but I am in heaven. This is so fun. I have also found some learn-how-to-play-and-sing-kirtan on youtube that I will try later.

I never ever thought I had so much music wanting to get out of me, I love it, I feel surrounded.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Bliss & peace

Hard week

This has been a hard week, I was so not ready to go back to work. I have now yet an other weeks vacation infront of me and that feels great.

This week I have been tired, angry and just lacking of motivation. But now I will pull myself out of that, on Spirit Voyage vimeo I found this nice clip with Harijiwan on how mantra music can help us shift from mental space we don't like into something where we want to be.

Summer solstice video to watch

It's a dream for me to go to summer solstice in New Mexico some day and have shared a video with you for that Ek Ong Kar Kaur made. And she has done it again!!! A new wonderful piece of love, friendship and inspiration.


Summer Solstice 2010 from ETentity on Vimeo.

This video I find at, where else?, MrSikhnet. I think he is like a big inspirational cyber buddy to all of us, even though I don't know him. When I feel low on inspiration I visit this blog and always find something new and inspirational. He has been posting for so many year and there are so much material. I have found lectures from Yogi Bhajan, music which I now love, beautiful photos that made me appreciate my own surroundings and just everyday stories that just picked me up when I was down. I'm sure you all follow MrSikhnet just as I do, but I just feel that sometimes it is important to tell the world if someone is doing great work. And MrSikhnet really is doing great work. I wish he would get an award, and why not?

This summer's Gratitude award goes to MrSikhnet! Yay!

O, o, o, this post did not go in that direction which it started in but that is life! Blessings and love!

Gurdwara in Espanola

Enjoying music from the live broadcast from the Gurdwara from Espanola, beautiful and really touching. Watch here!

Love from solstice

Here, on vimeo, you can watch all of Spirit Voyage video clips from Summer Solstice 2010 in New Mexico. I like watching little clips from this event because I would really like to have been there and now I can be, in spirit.

My hukam today told me

That Gurmukh, whom You have blessed with greatness - that humble being is known in Your True Court.

The whole shabad is written by Guru Amar Daas and goes

He Himself is the school, He Himself is the teacher, and He Himself brings the students to be taught.
He Himself is the father, He Himself is the mother, and He Himself makes the children wise.
In one place, He teaches them to read and understand everything, while in another place, He Himself makes them ignorant.
Some, You summon to the Mansion of Your Presence within, when they are pleasing to Your Mind, O True Lord.
That Gurmukh, whom You have blessed with greatness - that humble being is known in Your True Court.

Thats nice, I think.

Thinking

I got an email today that has got me thinking about a lot of spiritual beliefs, practices and rituals. I'll probably write a bit about that soon but right now I have to think about some more. So while you wait for that, here are some other things I'm thinking about right now:

Kindness knows no defeat, caring has no end and touching peoples heart is the only language God knows.

Yogi Bhajan

This is a really beautiful quote taken from a youtube-clip of Yogi Bhajan. I like it, it's true I think.

An other thing he said in the same video was:

Do you serve others or do you serve yourself? If you serve others, you will prosper.

Yogi Bhajan

That's worth some thought, isn't it?
