Introduction

[Guest guest]

Hi all, i'm from Dundee, Scotland, UK. I've been practicing KY fairly

erratically for 2 years and have only recently committed to a regular

practice. I have a question, which i reckon will be a fairly common

one amongst beginners: What are the effects of failing to complete a

40 day commitment? I have just completed 26 days of the 'To Master

Your Domain' kriya from the book 'Kundalini Yoga - by Shakta Kaur

Khalsa' but was unable to do the kriya on the 27th day due to various

reasons. Do I have to start the 40 day count over?

 

Thanks

Ahh, so many freak outs, so little time! (Or some such drivel.) Life

happens and we're along for the ride. The knowledge we experience is

rarely forgotten, only put on hold. We're still blessed but maya's got

us by the throat, (not by the heart) and so we proceed for a time

along one path while casting sidelong glances at one we've only

neglected, not denied. The time comes and we're ready or not. God's

will, our will? Who's to make the determination when there is no

difference between the two ... if only we'll realize it.

Sat Nam.
