Sodarshan Chakra

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Brad,

 

This morning, I was able to do 2.5 hours of Sodashan Chakra thanks to your

encouragement. The second hour was much easier than the first 31 minutes or

the first hour. The last 31 minutes were even easier. No clock watching

although I did have to go to the bathroom in between and a took a 31 minute

nap after the first hour. It is more rewarding to do the long meditation of

a single type and to go deeper into it in the sense that I felt more in this

case emotional turmoil than I feel in a shorter pranayama. The emotional

turmoil that came up was not pleasant, but somehow it will be productive in

the long run (40 days). I doubt that I will be able to sustain 40 days of

2.5 hours while I am working. I'll just do as much as I can putting the

morning and the evening together. I used the Tantric Wahe Guru instead of

the traditional Sodarshan Chakra tape. For these long meditations, it is

very good to have a CD instead of a tape. Tantric Wahe Guru felt slower and

more relaxed. I am too anxious and that's why I was having problems with

dizziness on the first day. Being slower it is harder to pump 48 times, but

given my tense nature, it is good to be more relaxed. I did not get dizzy

at all.

Sat Nam Brad,

 

More reporting on Sodarshan Chakra.

 

This morning, there was more sleeping between one hour sets. I'm sure that

is not the most effective way to do it. Maybe it is just like my previous

problem with clock watching. I am avoiding going deeper. Thinking about

what Gurucharn said about the cycle of apana and prana (whatever that

means), there is some kind of cycle within the 2.5 hour period. By sleeping

etc, I am disrupting that cylce and losing something. At the same time, I

am trying not to get too goal-oriented and tense. It is counterproductive.
