The Morning of Springtime

The best thing to do for your health is to increase the capacity of your nervous system. Nervous system needs to handle the upgrade of the sensitivity and energy on the planet right now and allows you to work the pranic force so that you choose where you want to go and what you will pay attention to.

This lecture has been recorded in front of an audience at RAMA Yoga Institute in Venice, California on March 19th, 2016.

A poem by Yogi Bhajan.

I want to read you another poem.

We had teacher training last week in,

What's that place called again?

Oh,

Boulder.

Right.

And we read a lot of poetry.

Because Yogi Bhajan said basically that the poetry that he wrote is a key to the Aquarian Age energy.

So it's an English nod.

It's a combination permutation that will align your mind stream to this new kind of pulse of creative power that's coming on the planet.

So thank you so much.

There's my chamomile tea.

So I just need to calm down.

So the kind of English nod that he put together in a couple of different,

Lots of different ways,

But they hold these kind of keys to unlocking certain secret doors of these teachings.

And so he said,

If you memorize,

If you read these poems,

If you read the teachings of Yogi Bhajan out loud,

One page a day,

One to 11 pages a day,

Or you read these poems out loud,

Which I thought because of the Naropa School,

What is it called,

Their poetry school?

The Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics.

So I thought,

What better to do but to read some poetry written by Yogi Bhajan.

So I want to read you this poem about this mantra we've been chanting since Fall Equinox.

It's called Guru Gayatri.

Gobinday,

The power of gobind.

Mukunday,

Chant it and be liberated.

Udare,

Liberation while alive right now to you and your family.

Apare,

Chant it and bring peace to the world.

Hariang,

God lives inside of you.

Karyang,

All your affairs will be successful.

Nirname,

Remembrance of the nom and knowledge of the infinite.

Akame,

The name of God lives within you.

Gobinday,

All joy and celebration.

Mukunday,

A gift from God.

Udare,

The true guru's blessing.

Apare,

Destroys the fear of death.

Hariang,

The peace of life is found.

Karyang,

Wealth and magic powers come to you.

Nirname,

Find the greatness of the nom.

Akame,

Get liberated while still alive.

The woman who sings the Guru Gayatri gains both worldly and heavenly joy.

All earthly wealth and magical powers come to her.

And through Raj Yoga,

She merges with God.

A poem by Yogi Bhajan.

So these poems are pretty wild.

OK,

So I think it's easy.

What I was telling the teacher trainers last,

Whenever,

Yesterday,

Last yesterday,

A fortnight ago,

What I was telling them is you have to find your own particular connection.

Some of us,

We all have a different,

Unique connection.

And you have to find your own connection to a stream of infinity,

Which is the Aquarian Age religion.

Yogi Bhajan said,

Religion is reality,

Which means that when you're in the way that religion has been abused and practiced in the Piscean Age has created a lot of distaste for many of us.

And so that's a non-reality.

But what truly,

What practicing the religion of the Aquarian Age,

Which is the religion of basic goodness and the religion of serving others and serving all humanity,

We'll use the word religion,

But we could use lots of words for that.

That religion is a reality.

So the reality of that,

So you're uplinked to something that's your infinite flow of this creativity and this goodness and this compassion and these states of higher consciousness that are what this age is about.

That's your unique kind of discovery.

And on a day like today,

In the spring equinox,

And we're in the middle of this eclipse cycle,

And a lot is moving very,

Very,

Very rapidly.

True?

Very rapidly.

And I was thinking about the kind of littering of the wellness kind of space,

My joke of what's happening in this age,

Which is you have Apollo-Santo stick and some sort of exfoliant and take a picture above.

And all of a sudden,

You're like a wellness coach or whatever.

And so there's all this kind of littering of the kind of subconscious.

Because social media is just an expose of everyone's subconscious minds.

We're aware of that,

Right?

No?

Yes.

Thank you so much.

There was two.

Perfect.

So it's just an expose of everyone's subconscious minds.

Everything is an expose of everyone's subconscious minds.

But social media is a great,

Exciting realm of this.

And so you're scrolling through and everybody has their self-care kind of bullet points or whatever.

And self-care has become like a big whatever.

And I was just meditating on the number one self-care that you possibly can do in this time on this planet.

The number one thing you can do is strengthen your nervous system.

So let's get that on the,

Because we have some wellness people in here.

We've got to get the number one thing.

I don't care about an exfoliant or a green juice or whatever.

If your nervous system is not strong enough to handle what's going on in this planet,

You will be uncomfortable.

That's a nice way of saying it.

If your nervous system cannot handle the upgrade of the sensitivity and the sensory experience that's happening on the planet,

And all of our suffering and all of our resentments and our miscalibrations and misalignments and our arrhythmias,

Every single one has to do with our nervous system not being strong enough to handle it.

And that's the big message that I want to deliver today is that we got to get strong.

Not strong,

The physical body carries that nervous system.

So it's important also for the physical body to get stronger.

And in this period,

It's a really good time to do some yogic practices around input and output,

Both with what you're saying,

What you're thinking,

What you're eating,

What you're believing,

However your input output flows are.

It is a very good time to yogically pay attention to that stuff.

But furthermore,

The nervous system has to get strong enough to handle.

I was reading a yogi bhajan lecture this morning.

And he basically said,

The human sensitivity,

This was 30 years ago,

The human sensitivity is the reason,

Whether you can handle your sensitivity or not,

Is the reason why you're going to be a happy,

Successful person or not a happy,

Successful person on this planet.

And all of the human fighting and pettiness and greed and kind of miss takes all have to do with the nervous system not being strong enough to handle what is coming at us,

Basically.

So your relationship to your prosperity and your success and your love,

The amount of love and joy that you can kind of uptake in your system all has to do with your nervous system and the strength of your nervous system.

And so if that in your life doesn't feel like there,

If you feel that there are some deficits around that in your life,

First of all,

You always will because one part of you always will because that's the subconscious kind of gaping maw of it all,

The subconscious mind.

Most of the subconscious thought form patterns are around there not being enough.

So that stuff never really goes away.

It gets demagnetized.

It gets much quieter.

It gets much less interesting.

So it becomes much less more of something that really feels like we want to pay attention to it because we have enough energy to decide what we want to pay attention to at a moment,

Literally a split second.

We have enough energy to kind of pay attention to what we want to pay attention to rather than what we're hypnotically kind of compulsively paying attention to.

That's basically the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness.

It's you have enough energy and enough nervous system strength and enough pronic caliber.

You have enough pronic flow in your system to,

All right,

Here's 1,

000 thought forms.

Each one of them has a negative and positive kind of opportunity.

Depending on where I go with that,

It's going to affect my hormonal system,

My endocrine system,

My organs,

My blood chemistry,

My brain chemistry.

So I think I'd rather kind of choose this one than that one.

And you just start to,

It becomes just like a game.

It becomes fun.

It becomes fun.

No?

Will you not lean against the tonka because I'm having a,

Yeah.

You guys know.

I mean,

These tonkas are sacred objects.

OK,

So the whole kind of thing of this is that you get to choose where you want to go with it.

And that's on days like these,

In the spring equinox,

And these eclipse days.

And these are high calibrated days.

Yogi Bhajan said,

When you come together on the equinoxes and the solstices,

When you come together in a group in consciousness and in the kind of upliftment of the group energy and the group space,

When you do that,

That allows for a whole new recalibration of the Earth's magnetic field.

So you're allowing that into you,

And you're participating in it.

Do we get that?

Not really.

The inflow and the outflow.

So you open up a space where we're creating the micro and the macro here.

And that's why group consciousness is,

This is what it's all about.

You can go practice alone.

And you can make some strides.

You can go some places.

We like our personal practices.

But there is a reason why Yogi Bhajan really harped on the group consciousness practices.

Because in here,

We get all sorts of,

Right now,

There's all sorts of ways that we're calibrating to each other,

Learning from each other,

Getting triggered by each other,

Getting the whole,

That's the family of it all.

And because of what's happening in religion and in the religious thing that happened in the Piscean Age,

Everyone is looking for a place where they can have true nourishment.

And that's why these spiritual centers are becoming the Starbucks of the Aquarian Age.

And it will continue to do so.

Now,

The only way that places like this can hold the calibration of why all of you are here this morning and why you feel better when you walk in the door.

And Liv Chudin was telling me that all week long,

More than ever,

People have been coming to the door and just kind of opening the door and being like,

I don't know,

Feels so good.

And putting their,

Just they don't even,

It's like they don't want to do yoga or meditate.

It's just that the whole kind of space is calibrated in a certain way.

And the reason that that even exists and how that exists is that we're,

In a group way,

We're making a decision to start to create new patterns of enlightened society.

And that's something we all crave.

That's something we all really deeply desire.

And so these old kind of habits of competitiveness and weird kind of Piscean greed and corruptness and all this kind of stuff,

All that stuff,

It has to,

It will,

And it has to,

We're just at the very beginning of it,

It has to redesign and reorganize.

But part of our personal contribution to this refiguring of all levels of society is that we have to go after that stuff in ourselves with great kind of vigor.

We have to go after that stuff in ourselves.

And so group consciousness allows for an opportunity for that stuff to come to the surface in a way that it's more apparent.

So we get that this isn't necessarily,

We're not here to make friends necessarily.

You could.

And we encourage it.

But if you could,

The group consciousness is actually a place where it's,

We were throwing the shark bait of the subconscious because you have to be close to me,

And somebody's breathing heavy,

And somebody looked at you weird,

And you know,

Whatever.

And we don't even start with me.

Did she cuss?

What did she say?

The whole thing.

And so the group consciousness is like the chart.

We're bringing it up to the surface so it becomes more apparent to you in some way so that then it becomes more workable.

Because if it's a slippery fish,

It's much harder to see and work with it.

But if it comes to the surface,

Then you can really get a hold of its tail.

That's an opportunity to get busy with it.

And like I said,

The teacher trainers yesterday,

The leaders of the Aquarian Age are the people who are pure in some way,

Or they don't do this,

Or don't do that,

Or there's some sort of spiritual self-righteousness,

Or any like that.

Nothing like that.

The leaders are the people who have found some way out of the forest of their own suffering.

And they followed the breadcrumbs of their soul in some way through their intuitive connection to all there is.

And as each one of us do that,

We then create a map just through our presence for someone else to feel like it's possible to get out of the woods of their own suffering.

And that's it.

That's it.

So wherever you're placed in the kind of whole game of it all,

Because it's really quite a game.

Wherever you're placed in the game of it all,

In this moment,

Your assignment for this kind of,

OK,

I actually co-created this learning ship.

Was anybody in class when I read that quote from Yogi Bhajan?

We've been teasing everybody about chemtrails all week.

Don't worry.

We don't remember anything.

That's good.

It's like a smoke machine,

But we have just like a chemtrail machine back here.

So you don't remember anything.

So you just keep coming back.

And I can give you the same lecture again and again.

But it's the co-creating of the learning ship is a paraphrase.

But he used those words,

Co-creating learning ship.

Learning ship.

What's the learning ship?

This is the learning ship.

And our lives are the learning ship.

And so all we're doing,

And especially on days like this where we get a really very prime opportunity,

Is we're just getting an extra pulse of energy so we can get a hold of the ship and maneuver it in a little bit more of an adult way.

Because this has nothing to do with chronology.

I'm not using adult in a chronological way.

I'm just using it in the way of spiritual adulthood.

So we get a kind of a hold of the thing.

And we get to kind of maneuver it in an adult way.

So whatever you're experiencing in your life,

You're co-creating for your learning ship so that you can have a bigger experience of something.

I mean,

We don't know what it is,

Depending on your particular,

So the dying and the living and the love and the loss and the failure and the success of it all is all just,

You're co-creating this little learning ship situation.

And then you get to see,

See,

We're kind of like a hippie college because you get to grade your own paper.

OK.

You get to see how good you're going to do.

And then that creates grit and caliber in you.

So the moment you feel,

Because all you got every night is to go to bed feeling like you made a little progress from the day before.

That's all you have.

And if you actually spend a moment doing that at night,

Like,

All right.

Something happened and I was able to maneuver the ship in a little bit of a better way today.

That's all we're looking for.

Now,

You can make some big quantum leaps right now.

And we're interested in that.

I would really,

Let's see what we can do this morning to warp speed the learning ship.

Scotty,

We need warp speed.

But just ultimately,

We're looking for that.

And I was reading this amazing lecture Yo-Yo Vision did.

He called it Making Them Possible Possible.

And he said that the whole thing is that you're just,

You're connecting through your practice.

You're connecting to an energy field that's going to allow you to do the impossible and make it possible.

That's lineage.

That's the pulse of the teachings from the master to the student,

From the teacher to the student,

From then how that goes.

But the great assignment is how do we make the impossible possible?

And so every day,

You're just chipping away at it.

Because the big impossible that's possible,

The biggest impossible that's possible,

Is for you to liberate right now while alive,

For you to remember that you're an infinite being inside a learning ship.

And it's really quite almost impossible that you exist inside this small of a learning ship.

You really had to like,

It's like a Pringles.

I mean,

There's so much of you.

And you're getting some amount of you is being shoved into this learning ship,

This little learning ship.

And so we're just looking for Waze.

We're looking for the Waze app.

OK,

So you just want to learn how to maneuver this thing better.

And that's what I want you to be thinking about.

Why would you?

Because the wave is heavy right now.

There's a lot of polarity.

There's a lot of resistance.

There's a lot.

There's a heavy.

It's always like this,

Which is part of the fun.

If you can get that thing,

Because we can't make art of our lives without the resistance.

I mean,

You've met the people who have the least amount of resistance and friction in their lives end up being the least fulfilled.

You get that,

Right?

And usually,

They're young souls that don't really want to have a real experience on the planet.

So the amount of friction,

The amount of resistance that you're dealing with in your warp speed experience as you make some quantum leaps,

That kind of friction and that tension that you experience,

That's all good news.

Because that's very workable.

You can do something with that.

If there wasn't any,

It's like,

Who wants a wet noodle?

Like who?

The wet noodle of your incarnation?

You know,

It's like,

Oh,

It's my life.

The ramen noodle of your incarnation.

No,

We need some tension.

You know?

This is just a bunch of,

I mean,

It's just a stage of drama.

It's all make believe.

And what's the best drama there is?

You have to have tension.

Got to have that dramatic tension going on.

Will it happen?

Will it not happen?

Can I sustain?

Am I brave enough?

And the whole,

Will I love him?

Will he love me?

The whole play of it.

It's very fun.

And then what these technologies give you,

This is the kind of fundamental.

What these technologies give you,

And we're going to do some cool stuff today,

But ultimately from Breath of Fire to whatever,

Cat-Cow,

To whatever the most simplest of the technology,

What it gives you is an opportunity to gain some altitude from the latitude and longitude of your particular experience.

And that altitude gives you the like,

Oh,

There's those little people.

And they're fighting over stupid shit like money and power and greed.

And it's just like,

Oh,

It's just like a bunch of little people.

And they're getting nasty with you.

Oh,

Look at them.

They're getting nasty with each other.

That's funny.

I mean,

This is all the,

Or whatever.

It's like,

Oh,

Somebody's lost their flesh bag and bones.

But a lot of people are starting to relate,

Because in the West,

We relate to death really.

It's a really intense,

Basically we spend most of our life running away from it.

And then when it comes closer,

We sometimes surrender to it,

Sometimes not,

Depending on what's going on.

But so the death and the loss,

Most people feel a lot better once they're out of the bag of bones.

And just almost everybody.

This is a very limiting situation.

It's a fun situation,

But it's a lot to deal with,

And as we know.

So just starting to look at things with an altitude,

Where you can really be this kind of,

When you create altitude in your life,

You become a coordinate of literally your presence can change one word,

One breath,

One look,

One smile.

You can become this total coordinate of a possibility for some other type of life experience.

And that is needed.

People need that.

I mean,

It's like,

Forget the yoga of it all.

Forget trying to drag some.

I mean,

Maybe you drag some of your friends over here,

But the thing is that people are going to be inspired by that,

That you can look down on it all and be like,

That's all pretend land.

But I'm going to pretend well.

You want to show up and give it your best,

But it's still,

You have the altitude to see it for what it is.

It's a joke.

How are you going to show up?

Are you going to laugh?

How are you going to do it?

So let's calibrate,

And then we'll have that eclipse on Wednesday.

So this is a great opportunity to do some things with yourself.

Can we do some things with ourselves?

So this is a good opportunity for it.

Reviews

Absolutely brilliant!! I just love how she talks so naturally as though she were an old friend. And her way of using phrasing and topics that are current in order to make her points more clear. Such lovely, lighthearted guidance. Perfect for my morning run. I could listen to her all day.

Love her. So much perspective!

Wow. Everyone needs to listen to this.

Great lecture! Timely and clear. Thank you! 🌱

Def more of a lecture than meditation but great information and she got me up and feeling good to take on the day. 🙏🏼

Great information. Thank you

I really enjoyed this lecture!

Genius ❤️thank u🙏🏼love your laugh

Don't let the bad reviews keep you from listening to this talk. What a beautiful child of love, life, light and laughter!!! I got a lot out of this and the speakers laughter, joy and passion are contagious. For those sensitive beings out there who are feeling this rising wave of spiritual exuberance - this speaker explains how you can catch the wave and ride it with a smile on your face and love in your heart. I like that she emphasized the fact that the spiritual walk is filled with unexpected twists and turns and for those who are seeking an easy comfortable path an mediocre journey will be the reward. Bless you sweet sweet soul sister for all you do. Namaste!!! 👊🏻 👌 ☝️

I loved this tall! Great information. I will be listening to this again and am inspired to look into more of her talks.

Warp speed!! What a great talk!

Light and deep. Like a feather traveling through deep space.

A very good learning session. She said some things that made me take notes to find out more about later. Definitely bookmark this one.

Most exciting lecture I've heard in a long time. I love what was said about finding our Way out of the woods of our own suffering by guiding our own ship. Lecture reflects the urgency of waking up now but with humor that caused me to laugh out loud at six in the morning – a rarity indeed.

In the end that's all we have: when you go to sleep at night how have you steered the "learning ship"? How have you contributed to the co-created reality we are swimming in? - thanks for these ideas I hope to keep grounding in my body and practice

Thank you for this. Beautiful

I feel like I needed to hear this today! Really enjoyed it. Though it seemed to cut off pretty abruptly with time still left on the timer. Not sure if that was accidental or not. So happy to have found this section on the new app update! Will come back to this one again for sure

I've been needing a dharma talk. Love the Waze app reference as indicative of the modern perspective on ancient spiritual philosophy. I need more of these.
