first, sat nam & happy new year to everybody on the list.

As a lot of people wrote on the list in the last days, i'm also

really thankfull for all the precious writing on this list.

 

i have questions about the morning sadhana, i wonder if i am on the

right way in the way i do it every morning (i have a bit less than 1

hour to do it..). There is what i do, tell me if im wrong or if there

could be something better to do:

 

-first thing after tunning in with the mantra, i do the krya for

elevation as taught by YB (it takes me about 30 minutes to do it. But

i wonder if i should do a short relaxation after each exercise of

this krya?)

- at the end of this krya, relaxation in corpse pose for around 5

minutes (should this be relaxation or meditation with silent mantra?

What should i do with all thoses thoughts comming at that time? =)

- chanting long ek ong kar for 11 minutes.

 

i hope somebody can bring some light to my questions!

 

sat nam!

Dear m-c:

 

Sounds like an excellent sadhana to me - good for you!! When you are

first learning a kriya, it is good to take a short relaxation (not

lying down, but seated) at the end of each asana, but it is not

necessary.

 

I complete each exercise by (holding the breath and applying root

lock and then) relaxing for 1-2 deep breaths, or a few more more if I

need to catch my breath.

Just relaxation. If you want to think "Sat" on the inhale and "Nam"

on the exhale, that is fine too.

 

> What should i do with all thoses thoughts comming at that time? =)

 

Just allow them and let them go. It is the job of your mind to

produce thoughts - just try not to get caught up in them.

You are doing great!!! Keep it up!!!

 

Love & blessings,

dear sadhant,

 

thanks a lot for the answer and the comments on it =)

 

I would like to get a exemple of a sadhana wich would not take more

than 15 minutes to do for the days when i'm too lazy (!) or when i

just cant get the time to do my 1 hour sadhana. It's really important

for me to do a kundalini practice everyday, even if its not a lot, to

keep up.

 

Another question (sorry for having so much theses days, but its

holidays you know.. ;-), so, to conclude a session, is it really

important to chant the "may the long time sun shine.." prayer for 3

times, with 2 long sat nam? Can we end up a session without chanting

this prayer? What is this prayer for?

 

sat nam,

 

m-c

How about doing the kriya you are working on with just 1 minute per

exercise? Skip the relaxation (YB always said we will get the long

relaxation soon enough :)

 

Gururattan's books all provide the "15-minute Morning Set", or "Warm-

up exercise set", another good choice, and if you squeeze in 3

minutes of chanting, the whole thing might take 20 minutes.

 

THere are lots of kriyas which can be done in 15-20 minutes if you

stick to the shortest times.

 

> times, with 2 long sat nam? Can we end up a session without

If I'm in a hurry, I just chant 3 long "Sat Nam" - the sunshine song

is a nice prayer, and I like to sing it, but I don't consider it an

absolute necessity (except for ending my classes). You could always

sing it as you are getting up and leaving, if you'd like. I don't

know that it means any more than what the words say, it is a prayer

for yourself and those around you.

 

Many blessings!

Sadhant
