Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 I am new to practising KY, I am learning from a wonderful instructor for only 4 months but cannot believe the changes in my outlook. I have heard many references to 40 days. Is it better to practise any set or mantra for 40 days in a row? I loved them all so was going to do one a night Also, what is the time needed for mantras to be done 40 days in a row to reap benefits? I have been chanting for about 20 minutes thus far at one time.

I loved them all so One of my teachers put it this way: once to experience it, 40 days to see the benefits of it, 1000 days to master it. Usually I will work on my 40-day set for my early morning routine, and experiment with different work in the evening. > was going to do one a night Also, what is the time needed for The common times are: 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 22, 31, 62, 1 1/2 hours, 2 1/2 hours. Think of each time as a different level, with more and more benefits at each level. It is important to work up patiently - as another teacher once said to me, better 3 minutes doing it pefectly than 31 minutes of slouching and losing focus. It is worth finding a good timer (preferably with a beep that isn't obnoxious) to time our asanas and meditations, to easily add time as we work our way up, avoid clock-watching, and so forth. Congratulations on the changes in your life, and welcome to the list! May all love surround you, Sadhant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
