This, And A Good Cigar...


My irregular regimen (or sadhana) is as follows, more or less daily, according to how I order my day - ask my cat the Temple Kitty, if you don't believe me:


Sufi prayers of Hazrat Inayat Khan, and assorted others of my own choosing or composition; Hazrat's element breaths,  and specific other breathing practices out of the Sikh and Siddha and Kundalini traditions.


Dervish dhikr according to Sheikh Hassan of Nablus, with beads, softly on the breath.



Sikh mantras, with beads, as follows:
- Adi Mantra as internal invocation;
- Adi Shakti Mantra on the long slow inhale;
- Bij (or "seed") Mantra 4x on the held breath;
- Saruba Shakti Mantra on the long slow exhale.














- Hymns to Laksmi and to the Kundalini.

- Ramnam and Hanuman bhajan.

- The Five Tibetan Rites (of Rejuvenation).

- Krav Maga training two evenings weekly (when the evening's free) and at home, including weights.



- Monday evenings (when free) Demo-Walk, sometimes hold a talk.



- Friday evening Shabbos-Kiddush, regardless how late, as the case may be.










- Full time job as home health nurse.












- Writing, composing, researching, posting at PC.

All this, plus a mug of hot coffee and a good cigar...
