The Choice to be Unhappy
In a lecture from 1990,Yogi Bhajan said there are three types of unhappiness. First, we are happy because we are unhappy. In other words, some of us love the drama. We feed on the sympathy of others. We often create unhappy situations consciously or unconsciously to make ourselves happy. Unfortunately, this creates a ripple effect of unhappiness for others. In Yogi Bhajan's words, "We are very expert in it as humans. That is our most creative form, to create unhappiness. We are unhappy and we are happy that we are unhappy."
The second one is, we are unhappy because we lack trust. Cynicism and lack of faith in our world, doesn't allow us to see all as one, and be able to attain that most precious gift of an open heart center, TRUST. We have a difficult time accessing our own core identity, let alone trusting that of others.
Third, we are unhappy because we have no idea how beautiful we really are. The biggest pollutant to our auric field is self-doubt. It is like a machete that nicks away at it piece by piece until eventually it crumbles. This defeating behavior never allows us to know the strength or power of our individual beauty.
In order to choose a happy life we must have trust in the Infinite. This trust opens us up to the flow of the Divine; it showers us with blessings. When we trust in the Divine we find gratitude in all that life brings us, good or bad. We choose to take these lessons and find strength in them rather than create weakness. We live and are guided by our grace.
At the close of his lecture, Yogi Bhajan had this to say;
What I am saying to you is that you never know what tomorrow has for you -- except one thing. If it will bring good things, thank God. If it brings bad things, make them good, to thank God. That's God. It's an attitude. It's the only attitude which is divine. The rest is all just philosophy to convince each other: "I know better than you. You know better than me." It doesn't work.
Tomorrow there can be only two things. Either tomorrow will be worst or it shall be best. If perchance it is best, thank profusely and very diligently the Almighty God for giving you one good tomorrow. But if it comes worst, thank very dearly for God allowing you to accept the challenge and make it good. If you start with that intention, your life shall NEVER be unhappy.
Blessings and Love,
Jessamy

Blog Resurrection
Sat Nam,
The blog is back!
I started this blog three years ago as a way to share my love and passion for Kundalini Yoga and the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. Needless to say, it has been severely neglected for the past two years. Facebook, Twitter, and a new studio came along, and it got harder and harder for me to maintain my blog. Lately my teacher Harijiwan's words have been hard to ignore,"Keep writing, Jessamy," he said when I first started this blog.
Well, today is a Resurrection day for Shuniya. I am recommitting myself to writing. I hope that through my blog I can continue to share with all who will listen (or read)!
So stay tuned...more to follow!
Blessings and Love,
Jessamy

The Aquarian Teacher
WHY TAKE TEACHER'S TRAINING?
By Harijiwan
Most of the world’s religions and mythologies point toward the year 2012 as a major turning point in our planet’s history. We are in a time called “between the worlds,” the countdown years to a New Age. Those famous seers of time, the Mayans, end their calendar in 2012. It is the time when our solar system and all its planets enter what is called the Photon Belt. Photons are sources of light, similar to thought, they occupy no volume, have no mass. Photons are being emitted from the center of our galaxy. As a solar system we are entering a light realm, a higher frequency purification and cleansing zone. And as our planet moves through this photonic energy band this highly ionized, light photonic energy has severe consequences for any individual who is toxic with negativity and darkness. The planet enters this space around every 13000 or so years. Our sun’s energy is affected, as are the electrons that comprise everything around us. This change in galactical light affects our DNA, which will receive and transmit differently. It is no exaggeration to say that all we have known is to be different. We are literally moving into a different time/space continuum. And this change requires different ways of living. Different ways of being. Different ways of relating.
Yogi Bhajan has told us that “The Age of Aquarius is on our head whether we feel, know, understand or not. Past is going to be obsolete, and teachers of the Age of Aquarius are going to help humanity.”
For nine weekends over seven months, you will learn how to function within this changing global energy field. You will learn basic care and operation of the human apparatus. How to pay attention to and maintain your glands and nervous system so they function at an optimal level. How to check daily for the inner balance of elimination, absorption, rest and activity. Have an experiential understanding of the interrelationships of mind, body, emotions and spirit. This training will give you an awareness of the sensitivity everyone is going to need to enter into this New Age.
We live in a polluted environment, in a society that emphasizes drugs, short-term crisis thinking, and which ignores the inner dimensions of a person. This orientation has created a world of great suffering. The subconscious plays a major role we are not aware of in how we experience life. We are looking to the past for answers for today and tomorrow, not realizing that the past exists only as an experience we have in our subconscious minds. We become attached to these imprints and this prevents us from moving forward in life. In Kundalini yoga we have the technical know-how to deal with the subconscious mind on both an individual and societal basis. We learn how to clear it, how to stop the repetition of past errors and the re-living of past pains. These are essential teachings for this time.
The first student you will have as a teacher is yourself. And as the light of one candle can light thousands of candles, you must first illuminate your own consciousness. Awaken your own awareness. Then you can help. You can serve. You can contribute. You can do your part to help humanity enter this New Age and make the dream of world peace a reality.
Teacher Training is about technology—the technology of personal change. How to achieve strength, clarity and grace. It is systematic, comprehensive, and complete.Our sincere prayer is that we can give to you what was given to us—teachings that have made our lives bright and prosperous, filled with wonder and adventure. Our only request is that you too share these teachings and help each other as we travel on this galactical journey together.
Radiant beings are awake. Radiant beings create their own light and link their individual light with the timeless light of wisdom that flows through the Golden Chain. We invite you to join this Golden Chain of Teachers.
Take a deep breath. Listen to your soul. Take this opportunity.You deserve this. Many await your help.
