Resting between meditations

I currently do two 11 minute meditations soon to be followed by a third. I find

that I like to rest for three minutes between meditations since it stabalizes my

breathing pattern and relives back stress. Is this an appropriate practice, or

should one move from one mediation to another w/out breaks.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

There are meditations that provide specific instructions for what one

should do afterward, such as always resting after Sat Kriya. In the

absence of such instructions (and in general), do what feels right to

you - as you are doing.

 

Many blessings,

I meditate for at least an hour while listening to a healing mantra CD. During

this time, my body goes thru a series of kriyas, jerks and contortions. i

always feel very refreshed after. is it better to break up meditation into

smaller timeframes, or just go for it. (there are times when the CD is finished

but my body is not. when i try to awaken, i am very sluggish and feel like i'm

moving in slow motion. then i know to return to meditation and relax a bit

longer.)

does anyone have similar experiences?

Go for it! The "after" part is what really matters. Does anybody really

really (honest, folks : )! ) like stretch pose and the White Tantric

"marathons" while they are doing them? But I don't know anyone who doesn't

love the effects.

 

If you feel like coming out of meditation earlier then by all means do. You

can always go back and do another session if you feel like it. However, if

you feel like continuing a long meditation, then that is very good. Please

note that there are some meditations in KY that recommend a certain number

of minutes. If you are doing some of these then it is good to follow the

recommended time.

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur

Dear Joe,

Your practice is appropriate. You can also inhale, raise your hands above

your head, rub your palms together and shake your arms after each

meditation. This brings you back to a neutral space to begin the next

meditation. We usually so this at the end of each class.

 

Sat nam,
