Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Sat Nam Marco, The answer is yes. If your habits, or work schedule are such that you are not getting enough sleep before 5am, then you have to get it sometime. One thing you want to keep in mind is that our body's nervous does a fair amount of healing and rejuvenation in the sleep hours before midnight and it is the hours after midnight that our circulatory system gets it's healing and deeper rest. Try to get to sleep earlier. Do you best. Also, watch how you feel getting that much sleep during the day. Generally speaking, sleeping in the daytime increases Kapha dosha. You may feel a kind of sluggishness. Take another shower. A cold or at least a refreshingly cool one to snap out of this. Sleep well, Dharam mu28amaria wrote: >Dear all, > >can i do Sadhana at 5-6 am and then go to sleep until say 11 am? > >clear mind to all >marco from CH > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Yogi Bhajan has said you can do everything from eating ice cream to taking a nap after sadhana. That being said my personal experience is that sleeping after sadhana usually involves dreaming strange dreams. The meditations of sadhana as prescribed by YB open the gates of the subconscious and all kinds of weird things gallop out unfettered. Because we are meditating, they get "properly" channeled out into the ethers, cleansed, and don't bother us because of our mantras and mudras and breath. If however you go to sleep after meditating, the gates are very likely still ajar and the subconscious may continue to burble up the garbage stored there. You can try to sleep after sadhana and see how things go. But I would suggest you keep a tape or CD of sacred music going on low in the background to kind of occupy your subconscious with blessed things rather than letting the mind "sweat" or occupy itself with the dumb stuff. Also, I would suggest that if 5 AM is the only time you can do sadhana then do it then. The point is that getting up for sadhana should entail some kind of comittment and should not be a thing of convenience. Doing sadhana should be a "sacrifice" that will become part of our lifestyle and consciousness, not just done for the sake of getting done. Sadhana between 4 am and 6 am has a specific purpose and represents our will to relate to our highest self. We do it because that is what matters. Check out Yogi Bhajan's lectures on "you tube" if you want the straight skinny on what he feels about it. It will be 10 minutes well spent. Sat Nam!
