I like the idea of a brain balancing Kriya helping out... I think that when you

are procrastinating, something is out of balance between what you want/need to

get done and your actions to make it happen.

 

Whether through what you vocalize, or think, your hypothalamus, pineal and

pituitary regulate some of these decisions (I'm flying by the seat of my pants

here) and I would imagine something like a Kirtan Kriya would do very nicely for

adjusting the regulating mechanism up there.

 

Actually, I have been doing a meditation from Guru Dev Singh for the last 18-20

days which is very similar to Kirtan Kriya, And it took me about until now (3

weeks) to begin to snap out of my doldrums/procrastination... I'm not feeling

like " miracle energy " or anything... I'm just beginning to absorb the

fundamental reality that doing even a little something is better than nothing.

 

I would also suggest Sa Ta Na Ma 2nd Wave on page 57 of infinity & me.

Or the Balancing Projection with Intention kriya on page 56.

 

In the same book, on pg 51, you'll see a page of excerpts from Yogi Bhajan

lectures where he gives you the Mantra to Open up Blockages in Your Life. He

said " it is the biggest lever available to you among mantras " :

 

Aad such, Jugaad Such, HaiBhee such, Naanak hosee Bhay such.

" All that is stopped shall move "

 

And then there's page 65 too... " Ek ong Kar sat Gur Prasaad " - " magic mantra "

that... " makes the mind so powerful it will remove all obstacles " - YB.

 

Of course, I think that any succession of amrit sadhanas will probably also do

the trick... Since sadhana is personal victory, that is pretty much the opposite

of personal procrastination.
