Going…….Going………….GONG!
Wow, How life changes……. some, or rather MOST of those changes stem from the good or bad choices we make …..the others….well…….are just Serendipity, or what I would term as……….in many cases……..”Yoga Happends”.
A few short Years ago…For example ..I thought Yoga was just another way a person could exercize physically….like running,swimming,jumping up and down on the bed,or a jillion others. Now I understand that Yoga is definately physical exercize…..but much,much more than that,……to Me,it’s an exercize in Awareness.
I remember as I’m sure ALL do how awkward I felt doing my first class, how silly and down-rite “Dorky” I must have looked (as I presumed) doing my first “Posture”.
Then later….the Awareness of how my body felt the following morning after my first “Sun Salute”class.(refer to my earlier post on “Sun Salutes”).
Then,…Later still… the Awareness of how good it felt to finally do a posture that “I KNEW I would NEVER be able to do.”
Now …… after I have been introduced to it… My Awareness has now been captivated by the “GONG” and Kundalini Yoga, which has been refered to as”the Yoga of AWARENESS”
“You will be Healed,Strengthened,and Awakend” it is said.
So..for me…….My journey, or at least my Yoga one, has been “Going ..Going…GONGED!”
My Awareness about Yoga has changed considerably since those days when … running,jumping,swimming and Yoga were pretty much the same thing(try play’n the GONG do’ing any of the other ones)
The GONG really “Rang My Bell” (sorry)… when I heard it at the Kundalini Workshop a few months ago. …WHEW!!!! with the energy brought out by the Kundalini “Kriyas’ and the “vibes” the GONG produces ..I was energized for a week… forever Changed … I just cant wait till I find my next “Yoga stone” along my journey. If you havn’t experienced the Gong played for meditation yet ….I hope you do………………You’ll be “Healed,…Strengthend………and Awake.
Thanks,PAM and DAVID … for bringing Kundalini Yoga (and the GONG)to N.W.Arkansas
SAT-NAM.

I’m with you, Larry. All of the above. And although I’d practice K-Yoga for years (but not in recent years until … now) I’d never experienced the Gong! What a trip! And thank YOU oh Larry the Gonger for getting so hooked you purchased a gong which you share with all of us during the Kundalini Yoga class.
Sat Nam, my friend.
