“There is a beauty in your presence. There is a beauty in your radiance. And that radiance of your psyche reaches out and communicates who you are.”
- Yogi Bhajan

Dear Beloved Community,

All I can say is...Wahe Guru. God is great! We are gearing up for so many exciting things next month. Guru Darshan and I have been asked to be the featured teachers at the annual Chinese Yoga Association Conference in Taiwan, we are honored to spread the teachings to a country that has yet to experience Kundalini Yoga. Our third Teacher Training program is beginning and all who have enrolled are experiencing that "back to yoga school" nervousness and anticipation. Congratulations to all those who have enrolled, we look forward to supporting you on your journey during the next 9 months.

The move downstairs is coming along. Bamboo floors are in the large studio, lighting is beautiful, the painting is almost done, the two bathrooms are almost done...Keep sending good energy to our workers. During all of October we are looking for volunteers to assist in stages of the completion process. Please talk to Devmurti Singh if you wish to lend a hand as a Sevadar.

Sat Nam,
Wahe Guru Kaur, Guru Darshan Singh
and "Team Awareness"

"As a teacher, you must experience everything you share." - Yogi Bhajan

Kundalini Teacher Training

Begins Fri., Oct. 13th, 2006
We only have 6 spaces left! Enroll up until the 13th, space permitting.

Kundalini Teacher Training is a profoundly life-changing experience. We are one of the only programs that hosts over ten Master Teachers originally trained by Yogi Bhajan. The wisdom, humor, compassion and stories they bring to each weekend will be some of your favorite memories. It is by being in the presence of a Master, that you learn how to connect with that mastery yourself. The Awareness Center's Teacher Training program is led by Dr. Santokh Singh Khalsa. You will find his approach very supportive and accessible. As a chiropractor and yoga master for over 30 years, he offers a depth of wisdom that is unsurpassed.

Whether or not you wish to become a teacher, this program is for you. You will finish with all the knowledge, tools and skills to teach. Whether you choose to teach in the community, at a studio, or with your family and friends, your yogic knowledge will be invaluable. Many of our students decide to take the program simply for personal development and to deepen their practice of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation.

Featured AC Teacher: Guru Darshan One of his first teachers said to him "Kundalini Yoga is your ocean..." and dive in he did. He found Kundalini Yoga in May of 2004, and five months later took the Awareness Center Teacher Training program. Many of you have been blessed by the healing power of his gentle strength and sense of humor. He's a "guy guy" who loves the Red Sox, family, working hard and playing hard, and also loves the effects of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. He has experienced first hand how the practice can change your life. He believes that Kundalini Yoga can help you to overcome fear, old beliefs, and addictions. His purpose is to uplift and inspire his students and to keep it real. Guru Darshan is a graduate of the Awareness Center's Teacher Training Program.

Guru Darshan teaches Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm and 12-Step Yoga Thursdays at 9:00am.

Meditation of the Month: Master's Touch
Sit in easy pose. Touch your index fingers together as you curl your last three fingers in with the thumb on top. Right palm faces down, left palm faces towards you. Touch your index fingers together and chant the mantra:

Ad such, jugad such
Hebe such, Nanak hose be such

Mastery is at the tip of your fingers. Connect to Yogi Bhajan, to all of the saints, sages and leaders who have come before you. Feel the wisdom and power of the universe flowing through you.
"Kundalini Yoga is the supreme technology to awaken your awareness and take you into your original Self. It is a natural unfolding of your own nature.”
– Yogi Bhajan
