I got so excited when I came across this thread, and think it is such a great idea.

My introduction to meditation came earlier this year, when I started kundalini yoga. I'd never really tried to meditate, and my mind was always way too busy and cluttered. Through yoga and the meditation done in class however, I discovered the most amazing things... it was like that feeling of getting into a hot bath after a long day.

The past month or two I haven't been getting to yoga, and I can feel the difference. Not only on a physical level (which I miss too!) and energy level (which I really, really miss!) but also on an emotional level. I don't feel as calm as I did, and I miss that sense of being in the moment.

Hopefully I will get back to yoga soon, but in the meantime, this thread has inspired me to do my own meditation and gentle yoga at home when I have time.

On that note, I will leave you with a kundalini blessing we always said in class, which I think is so beautiful. I hope that it brings a bit of peace to all who need it...

May the long time sun shine upon you,
All love surround you,
And the pure light within you
Guide your way on.
