changing routine dynamics

quote:My outside life is going very well and smoothly though and when self-pacing I have been feeling an inner joy throughout my days that I have never known as consistently. So it is just my practices that are out of kilter at the moment should I be concerned?

Hi Anthem:

This is the acid test. No matter what happens in practices, our results in activity are what matter. This is an excellent example of how prudent management (self-pacing) of a rough patch in practices still will yield continuing progress in daily activity.  

The bucking bronco in practices will come and go. It is all purification. A cycle of heavy symptoms of purification can go on for some time, though it is rare to last for weeks and months. It will change -- guaranteed.

You are doing a good job navigating it. Do whatever is necessary to keep on the track. I have had some similar periods in the past, and sometimes practices do have to be scaled way back for a while. We just keep testing and doing what the nervous system can tolerate under present circumstances. Have faith. This rough patch will pass and the inner sun will shine ever brighter.

These are wonderful sharings. The mystery of the process of human spiritual transformation is unraveling a little more each day. My goodness, this is real science!

The guru is in you.

Thank you Yogani and David for your replies.

Yes David, I do agree this is possible and when ramping up out of self-pacing mode, I was aiming for the 75% of usual amounts of practice, so with your thoughts in mind. I am not sure what level will be comfortable, but will have a better idea after my self-imposed week of full self-pacing.

Thank you Yogani for your insight and assurances, I look forward to the inner sun shining ever brighter but having a strong enough base so I don't over-cook!
