Numerology Forecast for July 2011

Written by my gifted friend Nam Hari Kaur Khalsa...

Clarity of Consciousness in Rapidly Changing Circumstances

The month of July brings about a time of increased sensitivity in our most important relationships. Whether it’s marriage, work, or friendship, we will find ourselves hypersensitive to the slightest perception of misplaced loyalties. Number 9 is in the Heart meridian of this month, and 9 is the most sensitive number. When it flips to the negative polarity it can be quite jealous and resentful. It is also interesting to note that 9 is the number of mystery and illusion, so our first read of certain circumstances may be fueled more by our own emotions than actual reality. It is necessary to get the facts straight before opening your mouth and committing to a particular point of view.

It will be difficult to get out of commitments or promises at this time; the verbal cement will be drying rather quickly and leave little room for adjustments later. Your own words can come back to haunt or help you, depending on how well you have chosen them.

The 7 of this month (July) represents issues of trust and emotional boundaries. The question will arise, “Who can I trust, and who must I politely maneuver away from?”

Both the numbers 7 and 9 have a resonance with secrets, so be very selective with whom you share any personal information. As harsh as it may sound, Yogi Bhajan once said, “Never share in friendship what can be used against you in animosity.” We need to be our own best friend first, and not set ourselves up for the fall. Self-reliance is one of the greatest virtues we can have in these times. Remember, the flow of electrical energy from the higher spiritual planes to planet Earth is increasing, and not everyone is in a position to handle this increased electrical current. An old house will sometimes need to be rewired so it can be brought up to “code,” so that it can handle the increased voltage in a safe way. Many of us need to be brought up to code too! The previous level of prana (life force vitality) we ran our life on is no longer enough to maintain a happy and creative existence. This is why we have the expression, “He or she is burned out.”

An important aspect of the number 7 is solitude and sanctuary, so now is the time to create an emotional and physical time out from the world in order to stabilize ourselves. We have just passed the midpoint of the year, and 7 represents a time of strategy and adjustments. Allow yourself to go deep within to determine who is helping you, and who is hindering you in life. There will likely be someone that you need to distance yourself from, or let go of completely. Set new boundaries for yourself so there may be a better balance between the outflow and inflow of energy in the “spiritual physics” of your life. Because of the increasing intensity of the overall transition period we are in, there is the need to protect ourselves from “emotional vampires.” Dramatic as this sounds, it simply means that there are people who will devour your positive energy with their endless need for drama (part of the “old code” wiring system). Some people are the leading character in their own soap opera, so remember that you always have the power to change the channel.

Seven is the Water element, and drinking lots of water will help to cleanse and balance your lymphatic system. When the lymphatic system is overloaded it contributes to the feeling of bitterness. The thought, “People are just no good!” is a creeping vine of this emotional negativity. Now is the time to sweat it out of your system, and by doing so you will find yourself refreshed and relaxed. Sit in a sauna, take a eucalyptus mineral salt bath, or run on the beach. Do something to purge out any festering dark feelings you may have. A new wave of opportunity is around the corner in August, and you need to have a crystal clear clarity of consciousness to decipher the subtle clues in the new information coming your way. Break free from the re-run scenario of life, where you end up wondering, “Why does this always happen to me?” Train yourself to recognize the tilt of the first domino tipping over, so you don’t create a sequence from which you can’t bear the consequence. There is a beautifully simple meditation called “Balancing the Nervous Energies.” Yogi Bhajan said that this technique will “make you sharp, and give you the edge over another person.” Our ability to act and respond to rapidly changing circumstances is an increasingly essential part of life. This meditation is so powerful, it is recommended to practice it only 3 to 5 minutes.

Allow yourself to relax and renew in this season of 7, and know that your new found clarity will guide you to the higher ground of spiritual awareness.

As Yogi Bhajan has said:
“In our human relativity, our sensitivity, our mental projection, and our mental activity, there’s going to be a great change. It is very essential for the human race to be watchful, to be creative, and to be equipped with a positive channelizing method for mental energy.”

Happy Birthday Yogi Bhajan!

Yogi Bhajan
I spent this morning at Golden Bridge Yoga to celebrate Yogi Bhajan's birthday.  2.5hours of Long Ek Ong Kars!  Woah.  Talk about a deep meditative state!  It felt so good to be in this trance-like state, and then realize that the sun is rising, and illuminating all that is around you.  Caught it in the photo below:
Long Ek Ong Kars at Golden Bridge Yoga, Los Angeles, CA.
The celebration went something like this:

Congratulations Guru Nischan!  Having just gone through the process, I was stoked to be able to participate in your graduation.  xx

Guru Ram Das Ashram

On Sunday, August 8th, my yogi friends from The Awareness Center, and I attended group sadhana at YogaWest, then 2 kirtan programs at the Guru Ram Das Ashram.  I'd never gone before to attend the Sunday program, and we were there from 3:45am - 2pm -- yes, that's a long time, but we were very happy and blissed out to be there and serving.  Here's some of the stuff we experienced:

My yogi sisters, Sat Tara and Sat Puran, helping prep food for langar.

The Siri Guru Granth Sahib.


How can the food not taste good when you've cooked it in good spirits and blessed it?

The coat of arms on the Khalsa food truck -- watch for it coming soon to streets near you!

Tying a Headwrap/Turban

Before I took kundalini yoga, I didn't understand the importance of covering your head.  Well, actually, that's a lie: I wore a beret all the time when I lived in London, England, because I'd heard somewhere that we lose 80% of our body heat out the top of our heads -- and boy is London too cold for me to not keep myself warm!

Anyways, I bought my headwrap from Kundalink (check out her blog).  The material is easy-to-use, and washable.  In yoga we have reasons (other than cold weather) for covering your head -- use non-static, natural cloth (i.e., cotton) and keep your hair up.  A head cover contains your energy, and protects you; it protects your Crown Chakra, as you practice raising your kundalini energy.  Here's another "why" about covering and hair, according to Yogi Bhajan:
The hair regulates the inflow of sun energy into the body system.  To let the solar energy flow without obstruction, let the hair grow to its full natural length, and take good care of it.  If this is done, the amount of energy that goes downward from the Seventh Chakra increases tremendously.  The kundalini energy is activated by the radiant force of the solar plexus and moves upward in response to the solar energy coming down.  This balances the body energy and maintains the total equilibrium.
Don't take it from me: try it yourself.  Try kriyas (yoga sets) and/or meditations with/without a head cover and check out any differences.  I notice that when I chant, covering my ears as well, gives me that extra meditative edge!

p.s. my personal stylist friend told me turbans are trendy now!  Check 'em out at H&M.

How To: Introduction to Learning the JapJi (Part 2) -- Mul Mantra




Continuing with the JapJi, the first meditation is the Mul Mantra (or Root Mantra).  Meditate on this mantra 11 x day, for 40 days.  Sit in a cross-legged position (or in a chair, feet flat on the floor), hands in Gian Mudra (thumb and index finger touching), eyes closed and rolled up to the 3rd eye point.


Watch HarSimran perform this meditation, and feel free to chant along.  Here is the transliteration.

To contact HarSimran at Essential Focus Coaching, click here.



For more information about the JapJi, check out this book:

How To: Introduction to Learning the JapJi (Part 1)


Forget all those personal development workshops and listen to HarSimran's simple instructions to begin learning how to meditate to the ancient JapJi: the Poem of the Soul.
After the brief video, you're ready to go onto the Mul Mantra.



We are basing this project on a book that Yogi Bhajan co-wrote, that is, unfortunately no longer in print.  However, here is the complete MLA citation:
Khalsa Yogoji, Siri Singh Sahib Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh, and Khalsa Bhai Sardani Sahiba Bibiji Inderjit Kaur. Psyche of the Soul: the Nit Naym Banis, with additional Shabads and prayers, and their effects. Tucson: Hand Made Books, 1993.
