Equanimity

“My mind is the mirror in which I see Infinity.”
- Yogi Bhajan


Dear Awareness Center Family,

e·qua·nim·i·ty: mental or emotional stability or composure, esp. under tension or strain; calmness; equilibrium.

After completing Level 2 Teacher Training: Vitality and Stress, this word seems like the perfect way to call in the state of being that is balanced and calm, regardless of what is happening around us. We learned many stress relieving techniques, and kriyas to help us as individuals and empower us as teachers. As our internal and external environment increases in intensity, this is really what we will need to stay grounded.

This month we are blessed by three incredible Masters, I hope you will make the time to sit at the feet of our beloved teachers and experience some of the equanimity that they have cultivated over a practice of 30 plus years.

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

The Ten Body Tune Up was developed by Santokh Singh Khalsa, D.C. and is based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan. It is a procedure of 60 steps, lasting approximately 30 minutes, done with the client lying fully clothed on the floor or on a treatment table. The treatment stimulates the internal organs, releases muscle tension, clears the chakras and balances the ten bodies; soul, negative mind, positive mind, neutral mind, physical, arcline, electromagnetic, pranic, subtle and radiant.
All of the procedures that make up the Ten Body Tune Up are simple and easy for a lay person to learn. No previous healing or body work experience is needed. People who have learned these procedures report that not only do their clients feel relaxed and rejuvenated, but they, the practitioner, also have a profound experience. Learning and practicing the Ten Body Tune Up will open and strengthen your intuition and help you realize your full potential as a healer.
The Ten Body Tune Up Training is a ten hour course taken over two days. No special equipment is necessary, just a blanket! During the workshop you will give and receive the treatment approximately four times. Each participant will receive a course manual with descriptions and color pictures of all the steps that comprise the Tune Up.

Pregnancy is a sacred time in a woman's life. It is a time of great transformation and nurturing. During pregnancy, a woman develops a deeper understanding of her mind and body, as well as the world in which she lives. Prenatal Yoga allows a woman to move
her blossoming body in safe and simple ways that will result in both strength and relaxation, as well as quieting her mind and peacefully connecting to her child.

Our Kundalini Prenatal Classes give women the opportunity to discover their authentic grace and power as they prepare to give birth and mother with awareness. Our classes are inspired by the wisdom of Yogi Bhajan and bring women together to stretch, strengthen, dance, chant, meditate and deeply relax.

Wherever you are on your journey as a mother - trying to get pregnant or in your last few days before birth - come and experience the preparation and celebration of giving birth with a community of women at The Awareness Center.
