Increase Stamina of Arms

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I have been doing Waheguru Chant (with holding arms straight out on

Wahe, raising upwards on guru, then back). This chant (done to Snatum

Kaur's Waheguru Wahe Jio) is excellent, and I felt benefits during the

first chant, and feel lasting benefits after the first few chants. It

helps especially with mental clarity and energy.

 

My arms have gotten tired and they can do less with each time I

practice. I have been using arnica oil and gel, which help but do not

increase the stamina much.

 

Are there any suggestions to build the stamina of the arms?

Keep up to be kept up. Push through,do not give into the mind and drop your

arms. That is part of the meditation. The more you do the meditation the

stronger your arms and will, will be. Sat Nam Lily

Sat Nam Jon,

 

Arm stamina will increase with practice. Be kind to yourself.

 

Here are some postural awareness tidbit that help me:

 

While seated, anchor from the navel point to the spine and then down

through the root into the floor or earth. (Many thanks Guru Prem &

Simran for the book " Divine Alignment " .) This should feel internal

rather than a tensing of the lower abdominal muscles. Imagine a line

from 2 inches below the navel traveling back to the spine and then

making a 90 degree turn down to the floor. This grounding of the lower

body frees the upper body to float up. Lift at the sternum, feel the

heart open and relax. Allow the shoulders to relax back. I raise them

up toward my ears lengthening the sides of my body and then let them

rest down toward the wall behind me feeling the should joints spacious

and relaxed. This movement usually opens my heart further. Be aware

of the shoulders and allow them to be relaxed back and fluid with your

movement. Be aware of the heart chakra/chest area relaxing there and

not collapsing the chest or rounding the shoulders forward. Allow the

mantra to energize your body. Be more aware of the mantra and how all

of your body feels rather than concentrating on the obvious.

 

And again - be kind to yourself.

 

Sat Nam,

 

Guru Gopal Kaur

I was pushing through to the point of my arms being unable to raise.

It was reducing stamina, so what I have been doing currently is

doing the arm movements on every-other chant. That allows me to

complete the chant and still work to near exhaustion and keep up the

heat.

 

So far, arnica gel/oil, and warm up stretching both help to reduce

resistance to the movements.
