My first 40 day Meditation

It may be hard to read the text for the above meditation. This is a Kundalini Yoga Meditation that was given to me by Gurmukh Kaur, owner and founder of the Golden Bridge Kundalini Yoga Center in Hollywood. Initially I decided to practice this meditation for forty consecutive days. Most days I woke up before dawn in the time of the day know as the Amrit Vela, and practiced this meditation then. It is a beautiful time of the day. It is very still and quiet, until the birds begin to awaken and you hear them sing. This meditation focuses on the breath and has no mantra, or sound, to chant or mentally focus upon. This was challenging for me, as I am used to meditating with a mantra. After awhile I decided the mantra is the sound of my breath as I sipped the air throughthe "O" of my mouth. I think this meditation has made me feel cool and refreshed despite the summer heat. I also feel disciplined and committed to have made it to the forty day mark last Sunday. I have decided to continue with this meditation to the 90 day mark which falls on the Vernal Equinox in late September, but for now I have cut the length of the first position in half from 22 minutes to 11 minutes. I have added some other prosperity meditations in to my routine which I will share with you at a later date. If you try this meditation, please leave a comment to let me know how it made you feel. Thank you so much for reading this posting! Blessings to you on your Journey!
