Name change

So, a few years ago I changed my name legally, as part of a transition in my life which included becoming a Sikh and embracing kundalini yoga as a major part of my path. Now I'm changing the name of my blog to reflect the changes I feel have happened and are still continuing to happen now. Just to name a few, I've almost quit practicing kundalini, not completely, but instead of a big kriya daily, its a once a week big kriya thing, and daily reading japji and a little 3 minute meditation. I've began practicing ashtanga again, full 6 day a week practice and am seeing major physical results, mental results and energetic results, so I know its right for me, right now. My friendships have even started a shift, growing apart from some whom I thought I never would because they are not growing or shifting, and coming to some people who are a complete surprise to me that I would ever be around. There is more, but that isn't the point of this conversation right now, maybe later. I'm a huge believer in the Law of Attraction, and if you know me, you already knew that. Not even a believer really, because I know it is the underlying truth of the universe, that we are truly in control of our lives, even if we disbelieve it and deny that, then that is our truth and the law still gives us what we believe in, or where we are vibrating at, as Abraham would put it. Anyhow, so I believe in this as reality, and here I am labeling the place I live in as being under the mud by calling it Yogi in the Mud, or rather the mentality of the people here, including myself I might add, as being stuck in the mud. And I am encountering so much light and enlightenment from so many folks lately, and so many blessings from the universe lately, that how can I call it that anymore? I've even had trouble writing on the blog and now when it dawned on me that it was the name, I believe it was due to that fact. I couldn't support that anymore, it wasn't my truth anymore. I don't deny that the midwest, especially the St Louis area, are slower to evolve to the next level of consciousness, and may always be, but damn it, they have come a lot further than I was giving them credit for, myself included again, and its time for me to acknowledge that. Also, by labeling them I am labeling them! I am the most tired of labels, and used to the first and worst one at assigning them lol. I'm a gay man, I'm a yoga teacher, I'm this, I'm that. How about, I'm a human being, being the best human that I can be right now? That sounds good to me. So, what to call it? I didn't deliberate long, as I was telling my friend Monica that I needed to change it and believed that would free up my flow of writing again, it popped into my head. Yogi in the Sun. I've got a great tan right now, due to being in the sun and the early spring we've had, having 80s and 90s in February, so there's one thing. I've been in the sun a lot. Ok, so symbolically what does that mean? To me it means that the light has been shined on me a little bit, meaning the light of consciousness, the light of that inner reality. Even the true meaning of the word guru could apply, gu=darkness, ru=light, therefore that which shines the light within the darkness, or a teacher if you will. So I feel a little more light in my life lately, and in feeling that I've drawn more and more who also have had a little light shed in their lives, or their beings, as well. So I'm not surrounded by darkness, unless I see it that way. So I chose to see I'm surrounded by light, and am receiving proof of that, more and more each day. The law of attraction would say that if you see this blog, you also are feeling that same way, because if you weren't vibrating in vacinity of this as a truth for yourself, you wouldn't even be able to see this, and therefore it would pass by in your facebook feed un-noticed. So, if you're seeing this, are you experiencing the light? If you don't think you are and yet you've still seen this, maybe rethink that, and look around for it, its there. Appreciate it, and every situation where you feel ease and light, and then you can only draw more of it to you. Bless you and hope to see you all soon!
