Cleansing
|
Dear Awareness Center Family,
A blessed Fall to you and yours! Guru Darshan and I just got back
from a short trip up to Quincy, CA to visit my sister and future
brother-in-law. It was quite a dramatic shift in pace and landscape.
If you’ve ever been up to the High Sierra’s, you know
that it is a string of small mountain towns filled with farmers,
ranchers and good mountain people. We spent our time hiking, harvesting
the organic produce from the garden, gathering fresh eggs from
the hens, playing board games and putting away vegetables for
the winter. There is nothing like connecting to the authentic
rhythm of the season and honoring the internal need to slow down,
drink hot tea, read good books and prepare for the coming winter.
Coming back to Los Angeles, I am struck by how far we have strayed
from our seasonal rhythms and what an impact that can have on
an emotional and psychological level. Remember this and do what
you can to cleanse and slow your pace this month. Your body, mind
and spirit will thank you for it.
A warm welcome to the new Teacher Training students – class
of 2007-08!
Sat Nam,
Wahe Guru Kaur and "Team Awareness" (AC Staff and Teachers)

“I feel like we just unwrapped my heart.”
-Janice Duellman, Manager- Car Max
A private “Healing Breath” session with
Gisela is a life-altering event, to say the least. Each
session is unique. The basic format is; talking briefly
and setting your intention, then doing the three-part “Healing
Breath”, a pranic healing technique. She will guide
you through a clearing of the seven major energy centers
of the subtle bodies. During this process she will use her
gifts as a clairaudient (communicating with your subconscious
self), sound, chanting, mantra, channeling healing energy
through her hands, essential oils, crystals and whatever
else is needed for you to remove blocked energy, pain and
fear. You will leave feeling peaceful, connected and often
with a completely altered way of looking at your life.

Voyager" cards bring clarity and harmony. The overall
reading, and essence remedy, awaken and stimulate your truth
and awareness.
When the reading is complete, a custom-blended essence remedy
is dispensed from the "Soul Quintessence System".
An "essence" is a tincture infused with energetic
vibrations and/or formulated from trees and flowers. The
"soul quintessences" are also co-created at sacred
power points around the globe during significant planetary
alignments.
A "Soul Support Kit" is provided to fully integrate
the soul reading and quintessences into your daily journey!
Reiki Renewal Sessions
Healing energy is transferred into various parts of the
body. Guided imagery supports and empowers your intentions.
This is followed by an acupressure touch therapy body treatment,

Sacred Breathing Circle
Theme: “Cleansing”
With Wahe Guru Kaur
Sat. Oct. 27th, 7:00-9:30 pm
$35
The Sacred Breathing
Circle is a journey into the Self. It allows you to
identify and release mental, emotional and physical
blocks and bring light to areas that need healing. Experience
an ancient pranic technique, called the “Healing
Breath,” that promotes healing and regeneration
on all levels. Please come prepared for a short Kundalini
yoga set.
This is a time for clearing out the mental and emotional
residue from the year, preparing yourself for the fall
and winter. A time of turning within, to look to your
inner guidance and direction, to reflect on all that
has come to pass this year. As the weather changes,
and the wheel of the year turns, it is a reminder to
slow down and cleanse the body, mind and spirit.
Partner Yoga
With Bindu
Sun. Oct. 28th 1:00 – 3:30pm
$30 per person/$50 per couple, if paid by 10/24.
$40 per person/$60 per couple thereafter.
Our yoga practice is generally an individual, personal,
internal practice of integration and balance. In Partner
Yoga practice we can cultivate these important qualities
in the push-pull context of relationship. True intimacy
is always a matter of genuine presence. A sense of
wholeness or completeness is experienced when we see
our own stability and presence as a partner. This
kind of partnership can be seen in terms of universal
brother/sisterhood. From our closest most intimate
relationships, to the seemingly most distant –
we can learn to be a true partner. Please join us
for this wonderful and illuminating practice! Bring
a partner or come alone. In most cases partners of
different weight and height can work together. This
practice is appropriate for all levels of yoga experience.
Kundalini Teacher Training,
Level 1
Begins Friday Oct. 5th, 2007
Space is still available - register this week.
"As a teacher, you must experience everything
you share." - Yogi Bhajan
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.
Ayurveda - Private Sessions
with Dr. Jaigopal
Weekly Sessions available on Thursdays
Appts. between 3:00-7:00pm
$100 -1 hour session
The ancient art of pulse examination is a comprehensive
diagnostic tool. When an Ayurvedic physician performs
the pulse reading practice, he precisely understands
the body type, present state of health, family tendencies,
state of mind, metabolic activity and many other intricacies.
Following which a program is chalked out with respect
to diet, lifestyle, breathing, yoga, detox, rejuvenation,
herbs, gems and aromas to balance body, mind and spirit
for vibrant health.
Each session of Pulse reading is 1 hour long and the
record of your reading is documented for your reference.
Other available treatments are: ABHYANGA
(herbal oil massage), SWEDA (herbal steam), KATI BASTI

JANU BASTI (knee treatment). Call for an appointment.
New Class:
Beginning Hatha
with Bindu
Tues. 5:30-6:45pm
Starting Nov. 6th
'Hatha' means sun/moon, 'Yoga' means union. This physical posture
practice is the harmonizing of all opposites in our experience,
most obviously the balancing of effort and surrender. This balance
could be considered the very definition of stability. Deeply exploring
the relationships of skeletal alignment, and muscular alignment,
supported and integrated with the power of the breath - this creates
spontaneous meditation, a revelation in terms of awareness. As we
learn to release and shed everything that is unnecessary to us,
we unlock the freedom, and lightness which radiate from the core
of our being. Everyone works at their own pace and level of ability.
Sadhana: Daily Practice
Every Morning. Every day.
4:15-6:15am
FREE
Begin your day in a new way with morning group Sadhana.
This daily spiritual practice consists of reading
the “Japji”, practicing a short Kundalini
yoga set and chanting the Aquarian Sadhana chants.
The Awareness Center offers Sadhana as a community
service and whether you come every day or once in
a while, you are always welcome! Please enter through
the back door, off of the parking lot.
"Understanding and humility lead to
the perfection of love, and God is love."
Yogi Bhajan
