40-Day SadhanaYogic science teaches that it takes 40 days to create or change a habit. A 40-day commitment to a practice can provide the shift needed to develop a healthy habit or to drop a destructive habit. In yogic terms, a sadhana is a daily personal practice. It is something you do every day for your own upliftment and expansion. It is a practice of connecting to your intention in a focused and conscious way. A good way to get into the sadhana habit is to start with a 40-day practice.
Doing something every day for 40 days is demanding. It is difficult. And you can do it! A 40-day practice gives you the experience of discipline the experience that you can go through life's challenges and create the change you desire. There will be days when you don't want to keep going. But as Yogi Bhajan, the Master Teacher of Kundalini Yoga, always said, "Keep up and you will be kept up!" Keep going and, at the end, you will have truly accomplished something. To support your growth and change many also find it helpful to journal during the 40 days of transformation. The next 40-day sadhana was selected by Guru Ravi. It is Kundalini Yoga Meditation to make you Feel Cozy and Contented. It works to balance the brain by reinforcing your inner ability to be in continual touch with your higher self.
Starting February 8th we invite you to join us in doing this meditation every day for the next 40 days.
Connect the thumb and middle finger tips of the right hand and the tip of the thumb and little finger of the left. Fingernails don’t touch. Females should hold the same position with opposite hands. With the shoulders hanging, hold the hands 7 - 8 inches apart, fingers pointing forward, a little in front of the nipples. The eyes are 1/10 open. Breathe normally and meditate for 11 minutes, then inhale, make tight fists with both hands for a few moments, and relax.
