sodarshan chakra kriya, concentration, and muscle pain

[Guest guest]

I am currently in day 5 of sodarshan. I have found that the less I

delve into addictive behavior the better I get in sodarshan timing and

concentration.

However, my question is the following, and I think I have an answer

but need a more complete one:

as I do sck and concentrate in wha hey guru, any pain of maintaining a

posture quickly subsides, and yeah, I begin feeling spacey. However,

when I do another kriya and I'm more interrupted by my thoughts, I do

feel the pain of having to maintain a posture.

Will I feel the side effects of pain like hours after practicing

sck(for instance, the pain you feel after playing soccer/(insert sport

here), two days after due to buildup of lactic acid in muscles).

Hi Baleadal,

You are asking about whether you will get sore or achy muscles 2 days

after doing SDCK comparable to the delayed soreness of hard exercise?

There's not much comparison, but read what Krisna said about doing Ky

appropriately in his post today. If you're new to Ky, keep the time

low to begin with (say, 2-3 minutes) and add a minute after you've

integrated that level. After doing Ky for a year (and 25 years of

hatha)and a lot of nabhi kriya to prepare I tried a 40 day 31 minute

sdck meditation, because it is so highly praised. There were a couple

of days in the beginning when my middle back was a little achy, which

I attribute to probably not maintaining best posture, so I used a

cushion (it's not cheating, you know). If you're interested in my 40

day results, (and I'd love to hear what others have experienced) they

were not what I expected at all. I found that while I chanted the

mantra, my mind was involved in the mantra and stomach pumps, but when

I exhaled on the right and inhaled again on the left, there was an

enormous space of time when all my thoughts rushed back in. By about

day 15 I had bored myself silly with all that crap. Shocking and very

humbling, I really had no idea it was so bad. So I guess this is what

YB meant about taking the garbage out- how fast do you want to do it?

Originally I meant to go 90 days and up the time to 62 minutes, but I

needed a break to contemplate the huge load of negativity I'd like to

be free of. After working with sat kriya for a while (uplifting after

sdck, now I think I'd better work on kirtan kriya for a reoccurring

very unpleasant dream I've been having infrequently but for about 15

or 20 years!

thanks for the insight. I'm advanced on KY...how where the end results

of your sck practice of your longest duration, if it was any longer

than the 15 days that is?

-Oh yes, I did finish out the 40 days of so darshon. On day 41, I

bumped up to 62 minutes, which I planned to continue for a total of 90

days, but then ackkkk, overwhelmed, needed a break! The insight of my

mind's ridiculous chatter is still with me (with 31 minutes of so

darshon you have repeated the profound mantra wahe guru many thousands

of times in 40 days, in stark, direct contast to all that nonsense

that comes wooshing back into your head when you're not chanting) and

I'm trying to address it. It's a shadow I never saw before! Last night

I started reading " The Mind " by Yogi Bhajan and hope that helps.

Eckhart Tolle's " A New Earth " had some great insights and a diffeent

way of explaining karma. Will anyone else share their So darshon

experiences?

yeah, the mind is a good ky book. It has good material in helping you

understand, and has a few meditations I have not ever heard of that

have a good potential for the bearer. It's always hard to find people

to comment on SCK because of their humbleness, would like to hear some

responses from those who you contacted off group, if you wouldn't mind

sharing
