Detox for the soul

I set someone this challenge once and it completely transformed them. In order for it to work though you need to suspend judgement and put on hold some of your beliefs about existence of God, the purpose of our lives and things like that.

Ok, so each day for the next 9 days do the following

1. recite the long obligatory prayer do this when you get up in the morning just after you come out of the shower.

2. then read a passage from the writings of Baha'u'llah. my presonal favourite is the Hidden Words.

3. then sit quietly and watch your breathing for 10 minutes and be aware of your thoughts but concentrate on your breathing - this is easier said than done but can have tremendous effects when mastered. (vipassana meditaion)

4. read from the writings of Baha'u'llah just before your head hits the pillow at night time.

thats it - give it a go, try and do it with feeling and with a searching attitude.

After day 9 you will feel a different person and will most probably want to continue. And if you dont want to continue then view it as a spiritual detox.

Do it with joy in your heart, get excited about what you are doing - have passion.

if you cant source the writings or prayer email me.
