Singing with Snatam

Greetings!

I have some footage for you from Saturday night at the Orpheum Theatre with Snatam Kaur. One of the best parts was right before this was filmed... she invited me on stage for a song we had not rehearsed: Guru Ram Das Raakho Saranaa-ee.

This song played on repeat throughout my entire birth with my second son (read about my freebirth) here. It's kind of amazing how that happened!

Alright, here is Snatam and I singing her Longtime Sun together.

Joyfully,
Sirgun Kaur

Beginner-Friendly Harmonium Lead Sheet || Guru Ram Das

Greetings Friend,

I did it! I completed something I think will be very useful for those of you learning harmonium:

Beginner-friendly lead sheets for my version of "Guru Ram Das."

The video explains the sheet, and how to use it. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.

I'm really excited to share this with you.

Here is a video I made a few years ago that explain how to play the entire song. It might be called step #2.

Joyfully,
Sirgun

Freedom from the Good Opinion of Others

Greetings Clever Consciousness,

This morning I have Wayne Dyer on my mind. Well, Abraham Maslow through Wayne Dyer to be exact.

Maslow once said that self-actualization was "being independent of the good opinion of others."

Can you imagine not giving a flying fizzle what anybody else thinks about you or what you are doing?

It is the ultimate freedom in my opinion.

Kundalini Yoga is a veritable treasure trove of tools to help practitioners attain this kind of freedom.

The freedom to be yourself. Period.

Not caring what people think is not synonymous with not caring about people. In fact, it is caring so much about who a person truly is--their SAT NAAM (read: their true identity as an infinite being in human form).

Disregarding someone's thoughts (or rather, your thoughts about what you think they are thinking!) and seeing the real person is what unconditional love is all about.

And wow, it's freeing.

You cannot control others, but you can control how you feel about them.

And if you can find peace within yourself as you interact with even the most difficult people, you will be sooooo free.

Enjoy your independence from the good opinion of others!


:: MEDITATION TO EXPAND YOUR INTUITION ::

Here is a video of a  meditation to strengthen your relationship to your own inner "opinion"--so you never need be reliant on anyone's else's. 

This is one of the four meditations from my Reclaim Your Happiness album. It uses the "miracle mantra" that Yogi Bhajan gave: Guru Guru Waheguru, Guru Raam Daas Guru.

Enjoy the miracle mantra?

Here's a playlist with over 40 versions of it: 

Joyfully,
Sirgun Kaur
