Retreat Week #02.
The retreat is slowly forming. Food is getting optimized, daily medications are happening. Bhagwat Gita is starting.
The process has started and it is getting continued. At the moment I know and not know the goal, things are adapting, the old habits and challenges are still there.
The idea is to work inside yourself. See if you can find joy, strength, and love inside. See if you can find yourself inside.
Some practices that are working well.
Satvik food in moderation. This week you can also add 3 days of eating satvik lunch. The purpose of it is to have calm state of mind.
- Bhagwat Gita reading. Daily one concept video, This is not about selling the idea but like receiving the teaching and offering, Make it the work of Yoga. Do this as an act of yoga.
- Daily Yoga. losening the body and slowly learning to sit in lotus.
- Morning 2 hrs Meditation. Make it truly the practice of Adhistan.
The two challenges -
Dullness - The morning after waking up. 7:30 sleep than wake up. If you feel sleepy sleep while meditating. After lunch take a walk and rest for till 1:00 and then meditate. It is ok to sleep in meditation.
The movement of mind - The more ambiguous the more movement is there. The movement is uncomfortable and automatic. and can even last for a lifetime. Even while all this happening if you can still take the right action, you win.
Let go of the lower self, Every moment spent there is waste of precious life. Instead of use that time for the enquiry. Use it practice better behavior, Instead of fighting with the model, know the model and use it in your favor.
Contemplation, Questioning, and inquiry - Your action can be driven from here, or your higher self, instead of the all fan.
