Change your life in 40 days...

I'm just about to do the Big Peace yoga retreat at the weekend. (Now sold out! sorry! You can sign up for priority notification for the next one here.)
And my wonderful yoga teacher Viv has just sent me this information about changing a habit in 40 days and thought that it was encouraging fodder for the Big Peace December ahead....

"

*40 days will change a habit into a more positive one. Meditation for 40 Days

In the yogic tradition, meditations practiced for a certain number of days have a certain effect. Forty days is the minimum to break a habit and set the stage for an internal shift. One student asked me once-"Forty days in a row?!" The whole class laughed. Yes, forty days in a row…. And if that seems like a long time, in the past many spiritual masters have taken 40 years to achieve enlightenment. I imagine that all of us have done that path in other lifetimes. This lifetime, we are attempting to get quicker results, so that we can enjoy peace and happiness while still in the body.

 

* 90 days confirms the new habit in you…..

 

* 120 days allows the habit to become who you are……

 

* 1 000 days ensures that you have mastered the habit……..

 

 

Start your Big Peace now, begin with 40 days of watching your breath, the flow of the in breath and the outbreath….the natural breath

Then extend this to mental counting of the breath lengths, extending to the point where you are comfortable…if possible an equal ratio of 1:1

Then add pauses/hold at the end of the in-breath and the out-breath (these are known as kumbhaka’s)… starting with a natural pause/hold then building this up to an equal length of the in-breath and out-breath….

 

 

Enjoy and watch your life change in 40 days."

Now there's a promise. Change your life by just breathing in and out.

I will be starting Big Peace December on Monday. I'm off to the Big Peace Yoga retreat tomorrow so will be off air for a couple of days.

Thank you Suzy....I can now at least be with you all in 'breath' this w/e. It's such a simple technique and it occurs to me that as we have complicated our lives so much over the past years we may have been looking for a complicated answer to 'uncomplicate' it. But this is perfect, achievable and above all brings us back to our true selves. A number of years ago I went on a 10 day silent retreat and meditated for around 10 hours each day.....it was the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life...trying to still my busy, busy head. I did achieve a certain degree of stillness and I am hoping that engaging in this will bring back some memory in my brain cells. I hope your yoga retreat is perfect.....I have put on my 'intend' list to be at the next one.
