Revitalize

“You can run after satisfaction all over the world,
but satisfaction must come from within you.”
- Yogi Bhajan


Dear Awareness Center Family,
The New Year has traditionally become a time to set intentions, and introduce positive habits that we may have put to the side months or years ago. But then how many of us have set intentions in January and gone right back to the old habits in February? I’ve been wondering lately about my personal resistance to doing the things that I love to do, or that are good for me. In fact, just today I felt like I was tapped on the top of my head and I heard the message, “What are you waiting for? How can you resist doing what you love?” One of the challenges of growing up and becoming an adult is just how serious life becomes. It sometimes seems like a lot of work. As we become more aware of the limitations of our energy levels, we are less willing to put ourselves out there to try new things. Yeah, I’m with you, sometimes it’s just easier to stick in a DVD and veg out.

Energy levels ebb and flow like the tides. The tide is surging in the New Year and it is time to renew and revitalize. Instead of getting all serious about your intentions, just pick one fun thing you want to try and go do it! It doesn’t have to be a big deal. Just enjoy yourself. Wash your spirit clean with the healing, purifying effects of yoga, meditation and energy work. Dance, chant, try Reiki, learn about “healing breathwork”, get a massage. There is something for everyone here at your home away from home. Catch the next energy wave and join us for some New Year’s practice and play!

Sat Nam,
Wahe Guru Kaur and “Team Awareness” (AC Staff and Teachers)

Suren was born in Nepal, 45 miles SE of Mt. Everest. He grew up in a village where people were customarily healed by herbalists, shaman’s drums, gongs and mantras by monks and medicine men.
