Sadhana is basically a daily spiritual practice cultivated to turn inwards and perceive life how it truly is. Self realization. A tool for working on yourself to achieve your life purpose .
We all have come to a point in our lives,at one time or another, when we are questioning, wondering and trying to figure out what the next step will be. This is a way to lay down a foundation.
First, I’d like to clarify two words spiritual and religious .
Spiritual- relating to or affecting the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things
Religious -relating to or believing in a religion
So you may ask can I be spiritual without being religious and the answer is yes!
Being spiritual or having a practice just means you do something to work on getting to your highest self or highest good , there are many ways to practice .
Basically daily Sadhana is spending time everyday with yourself practicing things like:
A Mantra
A Meditation
A walk through nature
Art with a mandala
Pranayama or breathing practices
Yoga
Reading spiritual text
Silence
Fasting
What will be the benefit of practicing these things everyday? According to the traditions in India , many amazing things can happen in your life. Depending on the practices you choose. Here are just a few.
Burn toxins out of your physical body (fasting, pranayama, yoga)
Burn out the negative thoughts (meditation, silence, mantra,silence)
Foundations (planting the seeds of practice and evolution for you higher self)
Commitment (doing something even 10 mins a day , you begin to put yourself first and begin to grow. )
Evolution (changing and growing ; are you wanting to change parts of your life?)
Discipline ( learning not to listen to the mind and ego)
Connect (become more intuitive and connection with your higher self , spirits guides or your god/goddesses)
Want a challenge? if your like me ,I progress through challenges . For 30 days or a about a month .. dedicate some time each morning to a practice of something. Journal your progress.
See what changes have been made mind,body and soul .
