Success in Relationships

By Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa
from Aquarian Times Magazine (Sept 2007 Issue)

An exchange takes place - a communication of looks, words, touch, even fragrance-a connection is made, subtle or overt. A relationship has begun. Just as the secret of success in Real Estate is "Location, Location, Location," in relationships it’s "Communication, Communication, Communication."

The challenge is to remember that although we are all "homo sapiens," males and females of this species usually have vastly different expectations, attitudes, and abilities when it comes to communicating. Understanding and respecting the other person’s perspective, even if you don’t agree, and being willing to listen are essential if you want a harmonious relationship-with anyone!

Improve your Vitality and Meditation With Long Hair

by Deva Kaur Khalsa (Florida)

Consider the possibility that the hair on your head is there to do more than just look good.  From a yogic perspective, hair is an amazing gift of nature that can actually help raise the Kundalini energy (creative life force) which, in turn, serves to increase vitality, intuition and tranquility.  Today most people may not notice the subtle, but powerful difference between cutting and keeping their hair. “Our hair fashions might be just a trend”, “but if we investigate,” Yogi Bhajan states, “we may find that we have been depriving ourselves of one of the most valuable sources of energy for human vitality.”[i]

Long ago in many cultures, people kept their hair because it was a part of who they were.  There were no salons.  When people were conquered or enslaved, their hair was often cut as a sign of slavery.  It was understood that this would serve as a punishment and decrease the power of those enslaved.   The bones in the forehead are porous and function to transmit light to the pineal gland in the brain, which affects brain activity, as well as thyroid and sexual hormones.   Cutting the hair into bangs which then cover the forehead, impedes this process.  Yogi Bhajan explains that when Ghenghis Khan conquered China , he considered the Chinese to be a very wise, intelligent people who would not allow themselves to be subjugated,  He therefore required all women in the country to cut their hair and wear bangs, because he knew this would serve to keep them timid and more easily controlled.  As whole tribes or societies were conquered, cut hair became so prevalent that the importance of hair was lost after a few generations, and hair styles and fashion grew to be the focus.
