#GrandPark #80daysto28 I've recently lost count of the days....but I've been keeping up with different daily meditations! I created my meditation "challenge" and daily postings to help keep myself accountable, but now I'm doing more and talking about it less. On the one hand it's hard because social media is such an addictive way to get attention...it feels like something's missing when it's not coming in. But on the other hand I care less everyday about external praise, validation. Definitely enjoying the process of even though it can feel confusing...like, am I doing this #growingup thing right??

40 Days Till 28! New Meditation

Wow, 40 days ago I started my first 31 minute meditation and today I began a BRAND NEW one. 

Here are the instructions: Meditation for Projection and Protection from the Heart. 

This one is totally different than Sodarshan Chakra Kriya (very intense, cleansing)....it's much sweeter, more gentle... Yogi Bhajan says:

This meditation gives you an enchanting, magnetic personality, with many unexpected friends. The Mangala Charn Mantra surrounds the magnetic field with protective light.

I'm excited to practice this one for 39 more days! <3 As always, let me know if you have questions!

Hello there beautiful soul.(: I just started following you, I find you're blog very inspirational! I was just wondering what the song is that you mentioned you used for the Sordarshan Chakra Kriya?

Hello! Thank you for your message, I really appreciate it. I got the song from a classmate, it is called Wahe Guru Wahe Jio and it is by Guru Shabad Singh Khalsa. The timing of the song helped me get the breath pattern down, but after a few days of using the song I realized I enjoy the silence more! 

Let me know how it works out for you. If you aren't able to find it, I can share the file.

A new #mantra has been popping in my head over the past few days: I'm so blessed, I'm so grateful. I think I'll keep it going. It's day 38, I am almost done with my first 40 day meditation set! And to think I was scared of this commitment just a few weeks ago...it's been amazing, I'm so #grateful I didn't run away from the challenge. #day38 #80daysto28 #fullmoon #blessings

I couldn't teach today because I'm healing a sore ankle. But I'll be back at @peaceyogagallery next Tuesday at 7 am! Here's a teaser clip of a #sunrise rooftop yoga #flow, shot by the talented @nabanzobean a while back. I'll be resting & rejuvenating in the meantime ✌️ #day37 #80daysto28

SURRENDER seems to be the lesson of the day. It's #powerful not passive to get out of my own way instead of trying to always have a master plan. I'm working on letting things come to me, being receptive, trusting #day37 #80daysto28 #notetoself
