Any meditators here?

19. thanks. Yogi Bhajan says it takes 40 days. to make a new habit

that's the Kundalini guru. (see below)

Sounds like you are very serious and determined about being disciplined.
I would think your other more physical activities can act like a meditation too.
My friend does some kind of martial arts (can't remember which) as a meditation.

One of my meditation teachers recommends doing the meditation as soon as I wake up, before coffee and breakfast.
Sometimes I try that, but I am so much more scattered then, than if I wait a couple of hours.

Let me know how it goes...





Yogi Bhajan's prescription
(I have not yet gotten to 120 days)

40 Days: Practice every day for 40 days straight. This will break any negative habits that block you from the expansion possible through the kriya or mantra.

90 Days: Practice every day for 90 days straight. This will establish a new habit in your conscious and subconscious minds based on the effect of the kriya or mantra. It will change you in a very deep way.

120 Days: Practice every day for 120 days straight. This will confirm the new habit of consciousness created by the kriya or mantra. The positive benefits of the kriya get integrated permanently into your psyche.

1000 Days: Practice every day for 1000 days straight. This will allow you to master the new habit of consciousness that the kriya or mantra has promised. No matter what the challenge, you can call on this new habit to serve you.

Remember, a habit is a subconscious chain reaction between the mind, the glandular system and the nervous system. We develop habits at a very young age. Some of them serve our highest destiny. Some of them do not. By doing a 40, 90, 120 or 1000 day special sadhana, you can rewire that chain reaction. You can develop new, deeply ingrained habits that serve your highest good.
