Sunday sadhana

BlogSanFranHomesLg

To me, sadhana is a daily spiritual practice allowing time and space for an individual to turn inward.

As Yogi Bhajan (of the Kundalini yoga tradition) says, "Sadhana is self-enrichment. It is not something which is done to please somebody or to gain something. Sadhana is a personal process in which you bring out your best."

Sadhana could be taking a walk in nature, doing breath work or yoga asanas on a mat, spending time meditating or chanting, reading and reflecting on a poem, or simply watching the sun rise.

Please accept this post as a possible starting point for your own practice today.


From The Waves, by Virginia Woolf:

How much better is silence;

the coffee cup, the table.

 

How much better to sit by myself

like the solitary sea-bird

that opens its wings on the stake.

 

Let me sit here for ever with bare things,

this coffee cup,

this knife, this fork,

things in themselves,

myself being myself.
