Why Practice Will Keep You Protected
When I was just sixteen years old, I met a girl
that I fell head over heels for. She was a few
years younger than me, and it only took a few
weeks before I mustered up the courage to meet her
parents and ask her mother if I could take her
out. Her mother did not hesitate to tell me that
there was no way she was going to let her daughter
get in a car with me. Did I give up? Hell, no! I
was a sixteen-year-old boy overflowing with
testosterone, and my hormones were raging. We were
going to the same high school. My sweetheart told
me that her mother made everyone in the family
take a yoga class every week. She asked me if I
wanted to attend, and I jumped at the opportunity.
I never practiced yoga before. In fact, I was not
really sure what yoga was. But, to be with my new
beau, I would have done just about anything I
could. After about a month of classes, her mother
agreed that I could take her daughter out. This
was a big win for me! Not only did I start dating
the love of my life, I fell in love with yoga
which started my spiritual path.
We eventually got married, had kids and started a
life together. I kept up with my yoga practice and
enrolled in the Hatha yoga class at the
self-realization fellowship. I got really serious
with Kundalini yoga and took two to three classes
a week. I would often go to the summer retreats in
New Mexico and spent a week in silence and
meditation, listening to the different swamis and
gurus speak on the value of a spiritual life. I
can remember Yoga Bhajan warning us to prepare
ourselves mentally, physically and spiritually, as
there was “going to be blood in the streets.” He
said that more than fifty-five years ago. Now, it
is happening way more than we would have ever
imagined.
I have often shared with you the importance of
practices of Qi Gong meditation and strengthening
your body, mind and spirit. I was not kidding! A
practice can keep you centered, grounded and
protected in many ways. I am not talking about a
religion or a belief to save your ass. You may be
wondering what you should be doing to protect
yourself and loved ones from being vulnerable. It
is not an external monster or a plague that is
going to get you, though that can also happen. It
is much bigger than that. What you want to protect
yourself from is FEAR – fear of the unknown, the
different, of not having, fear of others, of
losing freedom, fear of pain, of disappointment,
of misery, of loneliness, of ridicule, of
rejection, of death, and of failure. How can you
do that? It is through finding a way to keep
yourself grounded and centered. A practice that
will give you internal strength and power. That is
why, I practice the meditations and Qi Gong to
stay focused, grounded and aware.
