As the year comes to a close, it’s a good time to look back on the year and see what we can change going into the coming year. Whatever wasn’t working for us this year, we can close the door on, and open the door to the new year with a clean slate.

What do you want to change in the coming year?

Attānaṃ ce tathā kayirā;
yathāññamanusāsati,
sudanto vata dametha.
Attā hi kira duddamo.

One should do what one teaches others to do;
if one would train others,
one should be well controlled oneself.
Difficult, indeed, is self-control.

Dhammapada 12.159

“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?”

~ The Yoga Sutras

Pāli Word a Day for December 03, 2016 — tapati — “to shine, to be bright”

Mātā yathā niyaṃ
puttamāyusā ekaputtamanurakkhe,
evampi sabbabhūtesu
mānasaṃ bhāvaye aparimāṇaṃ.

As a mother would risk her life
to protect her child, her only child,
even so should one cultivate a limitless heart
with regard to all beings.

Sutta Nipāta 1.149
Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

 

 

Kundalini Yoga Meditation: Ang Sang Wahe Guru

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment
To alleviate feelings of alone-ness … chant ANG SANG WAHE GURU
 
“The dynamic, loving energy of the Infinite Source of All is dancing within my every cell, and is present in my every limb. My individual consciousness merges with the Universal consciousness.”
— Translation of Ang Sang Wahe Guru, Written by Guru Amar Das
 
Chanting the mantra “Ang Sang Wahe Guru” celebrates the realization that there is no piece or part of ourselves, no action, and no life that is not already the living vibration of the Infinite. It is all God. We are one.
 
This mantra can be used to eliminate haunting thoughts, bring peace when there is emotional imbalance, and to counter the phobias and depression that can happen in times of war. “Ang Sang Wahe Guru” is also an expression of deep gratitude, reminding us of our larger connection with the Universe and allowing us to step outside of our limited thought patterns. Listen to it, recite it, sing it – allow it to permeate your being with profound inner peace.
