WHERE, WHEN, AND HOW?

I recommend you spend some time creating a routine of spiritual practice in your life. With the help of this book, you can do plenty of work before you take the step of searching for a teacher, if you choose to do so. Make a space, somewhere in your house, for your daily practices. It should be a quiet place, if possible, where people won’t disturb you. It will become a sacred place for you; a place of peace and power. It can be a whole room, or just a corner. Place things there that focus your spirit and that make you feel good: a nice rug, a small table where you can place a candle or incense or some treasured items, a folded blanket on which to sit for meditation. Go to this special place every day—twice a day if possible— to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. People usually find the best times are early in the morning (an hour before breakfast) and/or in the evening. In the beginning, if you are unaccustomed to meditation and yoga, start easy. Reward yourself for consistent practice and increase gradually, if possible, from fifteen minutes of meditation to half an hour.

Cool your body first with a half bath (see p. 87) — splashing cool water over the lower legs, arms, and face. This refreshing yogic technique helps accelerate circulation while decreasing the workload of the heart; it energizes at the same time it relaxes the body. You may find that cooling off before meditation helps you concentrate and center yourself more easily as well.

Turn off the ringer on the phone and let friends and family know that during this time you do not wish to be disturbed. Close the door, close your eyes, and leave the ordinary world behind.
