Sat Kriya – Almost there

I have 9 days left of my Sat Kriya challenge and I, honestly, cannot believe how far I have come from day one. I cannot believe how easy, and satisfying it is to meditate every day! When I look back at day one, I remember how my arms couldn’t stay up for that long, how my legs hated me for not moving for 11 minutes and the most interesting .. how my brain hated me … for trying to shut it off for 11 min.

Now, it is still hard to fight with your own brain… but it’s rewarding to try at least.  Sometimes, I literally tell myself to “shut up!” Sometimes, I feel like my own self (whatever that is), and my brain, are totally separate, different things … They operate separately…. It sure feels that way sometimes.

One thing I know for sure, meditation is going to be a huge part of my life from now on! I also think it is important to find someone who will encourage you and help you out when you are starting to have any doubts about your meditation practice. I was lucky enough to meet Gloria Latham of Semperviva Yoga Vancouver and Yoga Greece. I wish you are lucky to find someone too, who is experienced and who went through exactly what you are going through right now.

Sat Nam.

Sat Kriya day 5 – round 3

So, this is my third attempt to complete a 40-day challenge/ Sat Kriya meditation, and I am on day 5 now.

My Sat Kriya meditation has moved to Europe with me! I just came back to London from a one-day trip to Paris, and I DID my meditation at 12:30 am no matter what! Feels good! But I really have to go sleep now, because I think I only had about 7 hrs of sleep in the last 48 hrs since I left Canada (on a 13 hrs flight to London).

Sat Nam!

Sat Kriya – Day 5

It was interesting today. I was actually looking forward to today’s Sat Kriya meditation (as part of my 40 day Sat Kriya “challenge”). I was curious to see what kind of stuff will come out of it this time.

It was a good one. I couldn’t feel my legs after it. I had a 5 minute savasana to get back to normal, and when I tried to get up I felt like Bambi learning how to walk It made me think, though, that it’s a shame that we take our bodies for granted. Most of us start taking care of ourselves only when the doctor says so. It’s a great miracle to be able to walk on your own feet! It’s amazing what our legs go through every day. All the running, and all those uncomfortable 5-inch stilettos (I am still not sure about those ones that I bought last week, by the way…

Anyways, take care of yourself just because… You don’t need a reason for it. Appreciate every little step that is made by your feet, and every precious sip of air that you take every moment!

Sat nam!
