(The following material is quoted directly from Yogi Bhajan 's lectures.) Bf CALM . CONTfNT. AND CONTAIN£0

"Never share you r weaknesses with your man or you r child. Go inside to you r navel point, concentrate on it, and you'll get you r answer in seconds. The only thing that can make you a fail u re in life is anxiety. Anxiety comes from the fact that you r sense of achievement and sense of timing conflict. Lea rn to listen to others cal m ly and yourself quietly. The moment you don't listen to yourself, you wil l naturally become anxious. If you don't develop you r personality so your presence wil l work, you r words won't work either. You r presence should con­

vince a person that he is tal king to a goddess.

" Life leaves very deep imprints on a woman. A lot of men try to use women as a toothpaste tube. They want her to be available when they want her, and when they are tired of her they replace her with a new one. A woman should understand her security before she indulges in relationships with men because all tem porary relationships are very deeply imprinted on women. Men don't have that faculty, they a re not affected the same way.

THE FLIRTATIOU!! M I N D

"There i s a saying: 'There i s a value for a n arrogant m i n d but none for a fli rtatious m i n d . ' An a rrogant mind is stubborn and demands i nformation, whereas a fl i

rta-tious m i n d is self ^""

A woman i n Ameri ca hag only two choiceg:

d estructive. A

be a Goddegg or be a p rogfitute

d estroy the self wil l d estroy everything with it. A flirtatious m i n d is the worst thing which can h appen to a woman. U nfortunately, because of her added mental faculty it is som etim es very easy for her to becom e fli rtatious, as she d oes not know how to monitor herself. O nce a wom a n has an a u ra of flirta­

tious behavior a bout her, it is very d ifficult for her to regain her respectability."

GGM: Graeo of God Moditation

On September 22, 1 9 70, a group of women Kundalini Yoga students in San Francisco asked Yogi Bhajan how to control and chan nel their powerful, some­

times overwhelming emotions. They recognized that women do, indeed, have a lot to deal with ! This was the day the GGM was born. For the first time, he taught the special meditation that is desig ned to awaken the power of the Adi Shakti, the goddess, within each woman . He cal led it the "Grace of God Meditation," "GGM " for short. You'll find it in the section called Take Care of Yourself as a Woman at the end of this book.

Women were not created to compete with men . Women were n ot intended to battle with men, but rather men and women were meant to com plement and supplement each other.

What? No more battle of the sexes? Yes, the battle of the sexes can end. And it can end with a win/win situation, when we as women acknowlege and appre­

ciate our power as women and use it positively.

YOGI BHAJAN'!! ADVIC� TO M�N

"Whenever a woman cannot talk to you, raises her voice, or a rgues, she is covering her guilt. It has nothing to do with you . Her subconscious personality is rem inding her of previous weaknesses which she doesn't want to fall into again.You a re just a scapegoat. By faculty, she's not s u pposed to act that way.

She is not tal king to you, she is tal king to her subconscious personality; she is in the past. Offer her a d rink of water and change the subject."

WOMAN A!! H�R OWN P!!YCHIATRI!!T

"The m ental faculty of a female is m u ltiple. Whe reas a m a n can become 'singular, ' this is i mpossible for a wom a n . By nature she is meant to protect a second l ife, that of h e r child. Nature has given her a subco nscious, i ntuitive personality. Women h ave their outward personality and also this s upplemen­

tary personality. But u nfortunately the secon d person a lity, which is the added personality, creates a split personality.

"Something which was given to her as a gift to facilitate her m otherhood, is beco m i n g a psych iatric problem .. . The whole Western psychological and psychiatric world is total ly baffled . They cou nsel wom a n witho ut u nderstand­

ing that wom a n basical ly has no need to be cou nseled . She h as to be awak­

ened . No wom a n n eeds a ny advice a n d counseli n g . Wom a n can monitor her­

self, whereas m a n can not."

HOW TO ANNOY A WOMAN

"You m ust u nderstand that woman is m uch sharper than a male. No woman needs cou nseling . Her nature is to resist advice. If you want to annoy a woman, counsel her. She also gets angry more q uickly tha n a m a n . A creature which can turn its blood into milk to save and nourish its offspri ng can do everything else also. A child can make a man crazy in ten minutes and not d isturb a woman in twenty hours. The faculty of a woman also extends to mental and spiritual
