SMK – Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya – Sadhguru’s 21 minute meditation practice
11:37
Woke early to go doctors. I like waking up early. I like showering straight away.
After when I came home I shouldve done SM Kriya straight away but I spent an hour freestyling and listening to instrumentals first. It was fun but not very productive or fruitful because I was scattered and tired going into it. After I did SMK which I just finished. I feel refreshed from it. I will now read a bit, then eat.
I ended up reading the rest of Lesson 1 for Yoganda’s lessons. I was super present and got through it much faster than I usually would. He called habits psychological machines which I thought was cool.
I did sun salutations which felt very good. I want to automate doing them by pairing them with the SMkriya which is already established as habit.
After that I did music again with a little success. Will just keep clocking in sessions and then surely I’ll stick to one till done.
My intentions going forward is to eat, rest, and then either read or try work on that video. My main creative goals are to make music and videos. I really want to make making videos into a habit. Like dharma vlogs. A place I can throw everything. Pictures, videos, thoughts, etc. A weekly thing where I just throw together everything.

God damn it… I napped fully at 4 which is good. I seen I was tired and didnt let myself move due to restlessness. I stayed until I was fully in the bliss state free from compulsiveness and then drifted into sleep. I woke at half 5 feeling refreshed. I was then going to have an omelette as a light dinner because I had a big lunch, but unfortunately ate with family instead which ran later and I ate too much….
It is late now but I will do my second Kriya and then sleep. I will wake tomorrow and do meditation with full commitment. I will fast and stay in bliss. I will make sure to fully nap between 2 and 4 sometime.
Takeaway of the day – I had little pain and fatigue because of the extra meditation lately. I will continue resting and taking meditation seriously.
I feel a strong urge to get into the habit of making vlogs. The block stopping me is those half finished ones I did during the summer. I must face them and finish them, however imperfectly, so I can make it a habit again to record and track my meditations. It gamifies the process and gives my creative brain satisfaction, because not only am I connecting with the divine but I am also creating something out of it. Something out of nothing.
