A Good Routine

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for all the valuable information you have shared with

me. Things seem a bit clearer now and I know what my take has been

from this.

 

Now onto my next step. What kind of routines do you have in terms of

the practise and how long does it last. I have tried to do the 5

Tibeteans and it takes me about 20-25 mins to do the entire 5 with the

whirlings for 21 times, the Seond Tibetean I can only do 8-10 times,

The 3rd, 4th and 5th for 21 times. Also what else needs to be done? I

can understand that my mantra practise can come after the Tibeteans.

Is there anything else that needs to be done?

Hey Dan,

 

I usually sit down and do the alternate nostril breathing/compression

prayer after the Tibetans. And then the chakra breathing 15 x for

each chakra up to the Throat Chakra. Then I usually send out healing

energy and prayers.

 

Each day is different for me though. Sometimes work and whatnot will

make it impossible to get all aspects of the safeties in, especially

those that are 'time based'. If it's too painful too get up at 5 am

or stay up til 3 am to 'follow your practice', I would rather relax,

let it slide and get back to it the next day.

 

It was pointed out to me that the many other aspects of the safeties

would be great to focus more on days like that. Work on your inner

joy at work, being kind to others, forgiveness, love... etc, etc,

etc...

 

I think it's a big part of the process to be kind, tolerant and

loving with ourselves as well. On a day where you are too busy to do

the Tibetans, but you manage to lovingly accept that in yourself, and

know deep down that you are commited to your process, and know that

you will do it the next day and the next... Wow, by lovingly

accepting yourself and where you are at, guilt free and with love,

you likely are making much more 'progress' than on a day where you

forced yourself grudgingly to do some excercise that you didn't feel

like doing, because what you really needed was some sleep or

something like that!

 

The same goes for a bit of coffee, too much sugar or junk food, any

other indulgences... Relax about it, slowly surely, gently and

patiently you will consume less of these, and then perhaps at some

point none at all. You will also find your practice can become more

rewarding, easy and have more diligence to follow it if you are

patient, tolerant and forgiving of yourself when you are not perfect.

What is the saying? " Rome was not built in a day! "

 

lots of love Dan, Oms in return
