40-day Sadhanas

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Everyone,

 

Here's my sadhana update :-) Thanks for asking; it keeps me

motivated!

 

I began 40 days of Kirtan Kriya on July 25th (new moon day) as posted

here. So that makes today day #19.

 

I have found that sometimes 40-day commitments unfold almost

effortlessly, & I am aware of a beautiful, sweet river of grace

carrying me along. AND THEN THERE ARE THOSE TIMES when

the "unexpected" happens . . . & I experience that grace in a new

way. I look the challenge in the eye & instead of being cowed by it,

or sliding into the scarcity mentality ("I don't have enough time; I

don't have enough energy"), I can feel my inner strength & say, "THIS

is why I do sadhana."

 

Since I started this 40-day cycle I have been in the process of

looking for a new place to live, finalizing that situation, sorting &

cleaning & packing . . . at work, my immediate supervisor's mom left

her body quite unexpectedly & so my boss has taken time off. I've

taken up some of her hours & also the responsibility of training a

new employee whom she just hired . . . my "big boss" has been out of

town & unavailable while there has been all sorts of construction &

inspections & deliveries & computer meltdowns, so I've had to keep a

level head for decision-making . . .

 

I write these details only because I KNOW we can all relate to times

like this in our lives, yes? THIS IS WHY WE DO SADHANA! This

practice is the cornerstone of my daily life, whether I am doing it

at 4 a.m., after 7 refreshing hours of sleep, or just sitting down to

it at 10 p.m., after a 16-hour workday.

 

The grace is always there.

 

I think daily of all of you practicing with me, send you Love &

Light, & thank you for the energy you send to me!
