New Moon in Gemini: New Reality
By Gururattan Kaur Khalsa, Ph.D.
Wow. This
has been an energetically eventful week.
To me it seems like yesterday’s solar eclipse and New Moon in 9 degrees
Gemini graced us with an inauguration of a new reality. Something has definitely shifted.
Thursday seemed to be the featured meltdown
day. Not only has the solar eclipse
been active, but also so have the solar flares. If you feel like you are being burnt from inside, this is partly
created by the effects of the massive solar flares. I am still feeling this effect myself and so are my friends. One way it manifests is wanting to take a
long nap.
Thursday morning a friend called for emotional
support. He was so angry he felt ready
to kill. I felt the urgency of the
matter and chanted
“Hail
Guru Ram Das, in the Name of Guru Ram Das heal my friend and heal the
world.” (*1)
I also
asked a few friends to do the same. By
evening events and his mood had shifted.
Friday he called me in a completely transformed mode. He was being supported by what had been a
hostile work environment only the day and weeks before. And he said he felt nurturing energy from
the universe protecting him.
Friday I felt differently too. In my meditation I started contemplating the
concept of forgiveness. A new meaning
opened up for me. I felt the words FOR
and GIVE speak to my heart. I felt that
I am certainly for “giving.” I
couldn’t quiet figure out “ness.” But
today I defined “ness” as anything that expresses the quality of love. So my new relationship with forgiveness is
“I am for giving anything that expresses the quality of love.” The important thing about this is not my
personal interpretation but that the process changed my energy. Some old anger and resentment was replaced
by a neutral, detached stance. I simply
have the desire to be in an expression of love. The old triggers just don’t set me off like they did in the past.
A couple of other friends whom I talked to on
Friday also expressed that they felt very differently. One said she felt a soulful sweetness inside
and a cuddly protective energy surrounding her. This was all in spite of the fact that she felt physical pain
from the emotional traumas of others in her immediate work environment. Another friend was feeling a cocoon of warm
nurturing and was in real joy as she told me, “I love my life!” And this was in spite of the fact that she
had just had her professional status challenged by someone who questioned the
accuracy of her financial advise to a client.
Well interestingly enough, the next story is about
the above gentleman -- chairman of the Land and Recreation Committee of a big
condo/apartment complex and in charge of a mult-million dollar budget. Last night was the monthly committee meeting
open to residents. He announced at the
beginning of the meeting that during the designated time residents could make
comments, but that there would be no interaction from the committee or
discussion of their concerns. The first
person to speak during the designated time calmly and eloquently stated that in
all the other forums we had participated the comments of residents or
interested parties were open to discussion and feedback. He requested the same. At which point, everyone in the room stood
up and applauded loudly in unanimous support.
The chairman gathered his papers and left the
room. The group elected a new chairman
and proceeded with an open and friendly discussion about the residents common
concerns. Wow. This seems like an historic event. The autocratic chairman dethroned himself
after the support from “the people” was withdrawn. This is just one of many events that will awaken us to the
reality that authority figures and systems based on control are going to fall
more and more into disfavor. People
simply want to be in control of their own lives and participate in managing
their community affairs. Integrity and
respect seemed to be installed as required norms for all interactions. My friends and I designated Friday May 30 as
a day of confirmation of the end of autocratic control and the installation of
People Power. Another indication of the
installation of a new reality.
This story reminds me of the first time I
attended a class taught by Yogi Bhajan (in 1977.) The message that grabbed me was about the power of Kundalini
yoga. He said that religious, political
and economic systems can control people who are not in their power. They maintain their power by keeping empowerment
technologies from the people. People
who are empowered cannot be controlled.
He was here to help make the technology of Kundalini yoga available to
everyone, so that people can be in control of their own lives. Those were my political days. I felt like I had met a true
revolutionary. I had already realized
authentic revolution happens in the consciousness of people. From that day on I had some real tools to
works with.
The energy at this time is indeed intense. In the highest expression, it feels like we
are being graced with Divine love. The
only choice we have to make is not to resist it. Those who resist will manifest upset and chaos with the same
energy that others find so supportive and loving. The universe is flooding us with a source of support and comfort
that we do not have to generate ourselves.
What a relief! Outside support
has arrived! And it is free, non
controlling and available for all without discrimination or discussion. It is pure universal love! It is not only not threatening, it is fun.
I still stand my by advise (1) take care of
yourself, (2) give your well-being priority
(3) don’t take things so seriously, (4) and practice Kundalini yoga.
(*2) Change happens so fast these days. Thursday was a meltdown day. Friday was warm cuddly day. What torments you one day can seem totally
irrelevant the next. Ride the
waves. Stay in your heart. Keep your center in your heart, not your
head, and you will be just fine.
(1) You can do the same by inserting the name,
names or situations you seek assistance for.
Guru Ram Das was the fourth Sikh Guru.
He built the Golden Temple, which is known for its healing powers. It was built with four doors, one in each
direction, so that people from every persuasion would feel comfortable
entering. Guru Ram Das embodied the universal energy of healing, unconditional
love and miracles.
(2) There are a lifetime of sets in my books
available on www.yogatech.com. Check out the CDs too. The mantra CDs are very soothing and
healing. I am listening to Ajai Alai now. You might well love it as much as I do!
