Peaceful & Powerful

“When there is a difficulty, go inside, meditate, and face it.
When there is happiness, go outside and share it.”
- Yogi Bhajan


Dear Beloved Community,

As we get out and bask in the beautiful Summer sun, let us reflect on our own internal fire. The power we generate internally is only useful if we can harness it and transform it into loving and peaceful energy. Meditate! Find the peace within the power. You are the Power and You are the Peace.

Sat Nam,
Devmurti Singh and "Team Awareness"

Featured AC Teacher:
Lily (Nanak Dev Kaur)
Lily's classes unfold from the seed mantra "Sat Nam," meaning "Truth is my name," calling out one's true nature to vibrate with all there is. This is the foundation of health, holiness, happiness and the wellspring of an integrated life of true bounty. Lily’s class style is casual, emphasizing a deep listening to what shows up to be addressed on any given day. She provides a warm safety and both sensitivity to interaction and respect for the individual need to go deep within.

Lily teaches Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00am. Students of all levels are welcome.


Featured Amazon Herb:
Sangre de Drago

Spanish for "Dragon's Blood," Sangre de Drago is a tree found throughout the Amazon rainforest. When the bark is cut, a dark red sap oozes out as if the tree were bleeding. It is widely used for its ability to assist skin regeneration and the health of body tissue. When taken internally, it maintains a healthy lining of the digestive system. It is one of the strongest natural antioxidants known.

To order Amazon Herb products, go to theawarenesscenter.amazonherb.net or see Wahe Guru Kaur for a consultation.


Meditation of the Month:
Sodarshan Chakra Kriya
Sit in Easy Pose. Eyes are open and fixed at the tip of the nose.
1. Block the right nostril with the right thumb. Inhale slowly and deeply through the left nostril. Suspend the breath. Mentally chant the mantra WHA-HAY GU-ROO 16 times. Pump the navel point 3 times with each repetition, one on WHA, once on HAY, and once on GUROO, for a total of 48 times. After 16 repetitions, unblock the right nostril, block the left nostril with the right index finger, and exhale slowly through the right nostril. Repeat and continue for 5-31 minutes. To end, inhale, hold the breath 10 seconds, then exhale. Stretch the arms up and shake the entire body for 1 minute, so the energy can spread.

This is one of the greatest meditations you can practice. It has considerable transformational powers and retrains the mind. It establishes inner happiness and a state of flow and ecstasy in life. It cuts through all darkness, giving you a new start.
