Joanne - Sadhana

[Guest guest]

SAT NAM Joanne,

 

I am very happy, that you did it. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

 

Actually I am also preparing some of my students for a 40 day Sadhana -

starting every day 4.00 am. Most of them are scared - what if I can't make

it, what if in the evening I am early tired - too tired for going out, too

tired for having late business dinners, will other people laugh about me,

or think that I am gone nuts, what is my partner saying after a couple of

days, etc. Lots of reservations, of hesitation, lots of self limitation ;-)

 

Since we are all working and are somehow living a 'normal' life, the

practice of Sadhana is not always 'easy'. A full blown Sadhana is - at

least for my understanding - a will test ('discipline'), but also the start

of a shift in routines and habits.

Funny enough, if you really want to do it - the space for it is opening.

 

So keep up with the good stuff, and if you should 'stumble' (pssst -

everybody does sometimes ;-), simply pick up the routine again and go for

it. Soon you will realize - if you don't do Sadhana, something is missing,

and you wonder how you have made it all the long years without it....

 

Sending blessings and love from Shanghai,
