Dear Art -- My problem was after about 10 years of Hatha yoga, it made me too fragile emotionally to be able to live in Kali Yuga! How's 'bout them apples!! Life is full of awesome surprises. So with incredible karma I was led to an incredible spiritual teacher -- one who had synthesized Alice Bailey, Helena Roerich and HPB....Torkom Saraydarian. From that time I began to learn many principles which strengthened me physically, emotionally and mentally -- and I "ain't done yet"! But I had to drop the fragility I had acquired with Hatha Yoga and move into what might be termed "Raja Yoga" -- the union of the intellect -- and then finally "Bhakti Yoga" -- the union of the Heart...because my teacher knew from Straight Knowledge that I needed an open Heart this trip...that my head had gotten totally carried away in the "past". So I had to let go of Hatha Yoga -- not easy to do because it aided me at one time to drop much worse habits of the '60's...but it was wonderful for me when I needed it -- and very familiar right away. Much love -- Kat in Italy
