Before starting our daily practice it is important to talk about general preparation and conditions.
- Preparation
Your preparation is as important as your practice, without a good preparation you will never be able to go in-depth of your practice.
Fix a time of day that works best for you, early morning or after sunset is the best. Find yourself a quiet place where you will not be disturbed, your practice room is your sacred space, have it always in order and clean. Have a shower before your practice and have at least three hours of distance from your last meal.
2 Diet
“you are what you eat”
Food is there to nourish body and soul, when taken it should be in harmony with Mother Earth. Eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. Their vibrations can easily be taken and transformed into our bodies. If possible go vegan, if not and you like to eat dairy products to your daily food, be sure to get it from an organic farm where the animals are treated with respect and have a harmonious life. This is all about the law of karma. The meat you should forget altogether. When consuming meat you are taking all the fear and pain of the animal into your body and soul, it’s a very impure and suffering energy, altogether a very low vibration.
3 Cleanness
Most of us think that we are clean by taking a shower, putting on clean clothes, cleaning the house, doing our daily practice, meditation, prayers, but how are our thoughts, Are our words or actions clean?
You can be in perfect harmony at home or by yourself but the moment something from outside triggers you, you have lost it, yes?
The same is with words, you can be sharing beautiful thoughts with someone but when gossiping or criticism starts you lose your purity and serenity.
Also with your actions, the moment your actions become selfish instead of selfless your Peace is gone. It is important to be thoughtful to yourself in words and action, acting according to your words is respecting yourself. Our thoughts have power, through thinking positively we are automatically spreading this vibration in our energy field, the same is also through for our negative thoughts. That is why it is important to learn to control the mind through your practice.
Your daily practice should not be limited to a few hours a day, your practice should be day and night.
Only through the control of the senses, you will find Peace, otherwise, you will be like a tourist sipping spirituality. This is fine but if you want more out of your practice you need self-discipline. For this, it is important to surround yourself with like-minded people with whom you can share.
Make your daily routine into meditation, be conscious about what you are doing, and be in the here and now.
