commitment

[Guest guest]

Satnam,

I have been reading the post reg and been trying get myself to

practise KY however i can't seem to do it . i seem to need to work

on my selfdiscipline. I even spent days fig out which kriya and med

set i would do and the benefits it will give me etc..etc...to get me

started .....aaaa....no action yet...Then on 6th i somehow did the

kriya set for root chr only couldn't hold more than a few sec on each

exercise of the set.... The fire of breath is out my comprehension

so i just pressed my naval back and froth...too tiring tough.... and

finished with kirtan and waheguru med. It's 14th today and i have

not done it since. every night i sleep with alarm clock for 2-

3am .....yet don't get up .... everymorning i say to myself this is

the day i will start and continue for atleast 40 days...... ( i know

you would be wondering is this for real why don't i just get going )

To me to it seems strange.....

 

Is there any one here who experienced the same. Any guidance as

to what to do initially to get me started........

 

I read posts of you referring to be doing KY for years and i go

would that be ever possible for me ............

Sat nam,

 

Start with five minutes. Tuning in and 3 minutes of spinal flex every day

in the morning before you have breakfast. Then work up to adding another

exercise. Program yourself for success.

Hi there,

 

I don't know you your name, but your problem is common: You want to climb

the spiritual mountain in one step.

 

The solution: Take it easy! No need to start with a full blown 2,5 hours

Sadhana. Start with 10 or 20 min. Choose an easy set, eg. Spinal Flex.

Slowly build up. Commit for an easy set for 40 days. Take the next set, add

10 or 20 min time, do a longer meditation and so on. In a year or so you'll

do every morning 1 or 1,5 hours. And then Sadhana becomes easy,

automatically and your desire / ability to do 2,5 hours will make it

happen. And if you experience difficult time, not being able to devote

yourself to the Sadhana and the set time, start again with a little bit

less. Doing less and do it easy is much better, than wanting much and doing

nothing...

 

Simply be gentle with yourself - start climbing hills, before approaching

mountains.

Hello reetky,

 

I used to have the same problem but i don't know if my advice is going to be

much help to you. I kinda cheated my way into commitment by analyzing where

my weaknesses lie.

 

I as well had a lot of trouble getting up in the mornings. theres a couple

of things that i do simultaneously that helps me in that area.

 

First of all, I keep the bedroom windows open. Cold air helps in waking up

easily. also i have a bright light connected to a timer that goes on 2 hours

before the supposed waking up time since the body starts waking up sequence

and reacting to the light. The most important of all is basically going to

bed early enough. Somewhere around 10 O'Clock

 

Hope that helps, Al

congratulations to you who have decided to commit to a 40 day

meditation! even if you do three days, that is so much more than you did

before!! wahe guru!

someone, i wish i could remember who, a very wise woman on this list

somewhere, once explained that this is how she manages to do her yoga

every day:

every day before she begins, when her mind starts presenting to her

excuses about why she should not do yoga today, she tells herself that

she can spend all day thinking of reasons not to do yoga, but first: SHE

WILL DO YOGA! then she can while away all the minutes and hours left

thinking of creative ways to avoid practice, but first: SHE WILL DO

YOGA! she gives herself full permission to dream up ever more

entertaining ways to slack her way out of doing yoga, AFTER SHE DOES YOGA!!!

this helped me! try it!!
