[Kundalini Yoga] self/inner guru guided practice

 

Sat Nam!
I am starting a new set from 8 Human Talents or the first set Guru Rattana gives in her free lessons. I believe it is time for me to step out and guide myself through my practice for awhile instead of following a DVD. I think this will help my focus and help me listen more to my body. So, in the set from 8 Human Talents there are none of the usual warm-ups that I see in the Maya Fiennes DVD and Guru Rattana's lessons. No pulling the root lock in this set either. I was going to choose the 8 Human Talents set because it is different in most ways from the set I just did 40 times. However, I don't know if there are other warm-up exercise than spinal flex and twisting, rotating, etc... And then applying the root lock... is that necessary for every set or warm-up? The 8 Human Talents starts with doing cat/star pose 21 times then goes to alternate leg lifts for 1 1/2 minutes and on from there, but in looking over it, it is an hour long practice which is all the time I have.
Also, when guiding yourself, how do you keep up with time? Do you set a timer before every exercise? Meaning, you open your eyes and set the timer, refocus and then continue? Or, do you just listen to your body... if so what about going over or under the time frame?

I will be starting a set today because it is the day after the New Moon. A good time to start. Thanks ahead of time for your help.
Be Blessed,
Kelli
