Or, one day without Ishnaan

[Guest guest]

Sukhdev,

 

I wanted to share my discovery that Ishnaan is perhaps an equally, if

not more important part of the day.

 

First of all... Congrats on your years of EMS. I'm not there yet, even

if I do find time for Sadhana each day.

 

I recently went a few consecutive days here and there without my

Ishnaan and stretch pose in the morning, and I didn't think much of

it... Plus the cold water in NYC has gotten so ridiculously icy... I

sorta gave myself a little break from it.

 

But I did begin to have a couple breakdowns in old habits, old

thoughts, old routines that I had thought I had conquered, (even

though I was doing all my exercises and meditations as before) and I

was curious to as to why...

 

Until I resumed my cold shower this morning and I felt that entire

cellular vibrancy coursing through my body, that it dawned on me how

vital a cold shower is, and how powerful its effects are.

 

I think of Ishnaan just like a Sadhana... 40 days, 90 days, 120

days... 1000 days... Keep count. Do it consistently and do it

forever... Even just 1 minute in really cold water if you really want

to experience a vital change and vibrancy in your whole being (Ideally

3 minutes up to 31 minutes max).

 

It's a day changing " meditation " that I feel is a vital part of every

Kundalini practice.

 

(Plus, I always chant some mantras with it... Whatever is in my head

that morning... From Wha Hey Guru/Jio to RakheRakanahar)

 

Back on the ice train...

 

Truly Yours,

Raja Filip
