Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 Sat Nam All-- I have just just begun to practice a morning sadhana. I am doing the wake-up set from Meditation as Medicine by Dr. Dharma Singh Khalsa (also in TTHCW) and some spinal flexes and twists, and then 11 minutes of Kirtan Kriya. I really like Kirtan Kriya, and feel very uplifted doing it, and have decided to try to do it as my first 40 day set. However, I'd also like to maintain a Sat Kriya practice and don't know where to put that in: before Kirtan Kriya? Additionally, I'd like to begin chanting the Morning Call, and am likewise confused as to where to put that in the order of sadhana. I woke up today at 6 to begin my sadhana, and couldn't believe how (relatively) easy it was to get up. I had done Kirtan Kriya the night before, and had slept very well, so that probably had something to do with it. I don't have much time for sadhana right now--only about 35 minutes, so I'm not taking a cold shower or anything. Many thanks for all your help-- Jessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say to do Sat Kriya at the end of your "physical" set, then rest for a few minutes, and after that do the Morning Call and Kirtan Kriya at the end. Anway make sure to rest after Sat Kriya. > I woke up today at 6 to begin my sadhana, and couldn't believe how > (relatively) easy it was to get up.

Meditating before bed and waking up early for practice is excellent. Keep doing that and you will probably find out that you need to sleep only half of what you thought. Sleep is good of course. But I remember I had a real shock upon realizing we sleep on average a third of our lives! Now *that* doesn't sound to me like a worthwhile thing to do. Fortunately since meditation is much more restful than sleep it is possible to do something about that. > I don't have much time for sadhana right now--only about 35 > minutes, so I'm not taking a cold shower or anything. Jessie, you're cheating ; )! I assume you take a walk to the bathroom before practice. Try turning the cold water on and see what happens!

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2001 Report Share Posted August 13, 2001 J. I love "Meditation as Medicine." Dr. Dharma has also written "Brian Longevity," which includes a spinal series that ends w/ Sat Kriya. So in my own practice I do my sadhna in the following manner: wake up set, spinal series w/ Sat Kiyra, Morning Call, Kirtan Kryia, and I've just recently added the special meditation for the fifth chakra. I'm sure you could probably change the order, but I'll leave those comments to the experts who grace this egroup.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2001 Report Share Posted August 14, 2001 Dear Jessie, If you only have 35 minutes then you might want to do Kirtan Kryia before you go to bed since it is so beneficial for good sleep.
