This week we read and reviewed chapters 14 - 16. We did the "Relax Into Greatness" meditation, which is yoga nidra (deep relaxation/"yogic sleep"). We did a quick 5 minute exercise of writing our individual sankalpas over and over and over again, to discover what other resistances (vikalpas) might be lurking in the background still. We chose a bad habit/time waster from our list to give up for the upcoming week. Each time we have the urge to partake in this bad habit/time waster, we will NOT do it, and instead mentally repeat our sankalpa to ourselves in place of it. This process is called "seeding the gap".
Next week's assignments:
Wed., Nov. 16th: read Ch. 17 on your own for meet up; we will read and discuss chapters 18 and 19 together. We will do the "Accessing your Dhi" exercise , and the Healing the Heart meditation together on Wed. as well.
Thur., Nov. 17th: read Ch. 20 on your own for the meet up; we will read and discuss chapters 21-23 together. We will do the "Vairagya" exercise (parts 1 & 2), and the meditation to Increase Vairagya together on Thur.
We will not meet up the week of Thanksgiving.
Our last meet up will be on Wed., Nov. 30th!
