Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Satnam Sri Vahayguroo Tried doing Sadarshan kriya. 2 Questions 1. I find it difficult to count and concentrate at the same time. 2. After only ONE cycle (16 Vahayguroos) I get very tired and cannot even complete the second cycle. Could I be doing it wrong.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Sat Nam Gurkirpa, 1. I find it difficult to count and concentrate at the same time. practice, start with 3 mins, when you have that down move up to 6 mins or 11 2. After only ONE cycle (16 Vahayguroos) I get very tired and cannot even complete the second cycle. Sodarshan is a somewhat demanding kriya, everyone is in a different place relative to meditation, I believe. For some its rather easy and the body adjusts quickly (me), for others it takes alot of perseverance. The first time I tried Sodarshan I was able to do it, but it took me a while to figure out the counting, and to make it to 16 (48). But the body adjusts even while you are meditating, I find Sodarshan easier (as with other meditations) after 31 minutes and 62 and 1.5 hours etc.. Where you are right now is at a real physical/physiological level, body is fighting, you are trying to concentrate. Push through it. "Are you doing it wrong?" Inhale left, 48 pumps, exhale right, repeat. Eyes at the tip of your nose. Try subtle pumps they don't have to be vigorous like Breath of Fire.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Use your fingers when trying to keep track of your count.......it's okay. You pump 3 times for each waheguru. Each finger is one waheguru. You have four fingers. (thumb is not a finger). In a complete cycle of the mantra you will silently chant waheguru 16 times so you will cycle through your fingers 4 times. It becomes automatic. This is similar to what Yogiji said years ago when he first gave it to us. Dharam Brad Greenstreet wrote: > Sat Nam Gurkirpa, > > 1.
