Hi Ellen,

 

I had to stop doing my routine late at night because I was waking up

at 2am and feeling like running a few miles. Maybee I should wake my

wife up and put the energy to good use---if it wasn't for that "work-

at-6am-thing", she might just be up to it;-) Seriously, I don't know,

perhaps try the "Salute to the Moon".

Sat Nam Ellen,

You can, but you don't have to. If you do a yoga set before meditation, make

sure it is one that is specifically designed to help you wind down and go to

sleep, and not one of the early morning ones (Mal is right, if you do one of

those you will barely be able to sleep!). Warm-ups aren't really necessary

since these are gentler, slower exercises.

 

Exercises usually included in evening sets are forward stretches with long

deep breathing (no breath of fire at night generally), bridge pose also with

long deep breathing, breathing techniques (one such anti-stress breath is:

inhale in 8 short steps through the nose and exhale in 8 steps through the

rounded lips), alternate leg lifts and some others. Basically any KY book

will have at least one before-bed set that you can do.

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur

I asked my teacher the same question - and her reply was : You should warm

up, but you don't have to do a set...

Hello All,

 

When meditating before bedtime, am I suppose to also do warmups &

Yoga sets?

Sat Nam friends:

Gururattan's books provide a handy section called "Meditation

Facilitators". These are single exercises (you can do as many as you

want, of course) which are perfect for this. They are specifically

provided for circumstances when you may not have a lot of time, or

don't want the effects of a more energetic kriya, and these prepare

you for some sitting and meditating.

 

Love & blessings,

Sadhant
