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".

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Sat Nam Ellen, > When meditating before bedtime, am I suppose to also do warmups & > Yoga sets? 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Sat Nam I asked my teacher the same question - and her reply was : You should warm up, but you don't have to do a set...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2001 Report Share Posted April 24, 2001 Sat Nam friends: > When meditating before bedtime, am I suppose to also do warmups & > Yoga sets? 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.
