Sat Nams Raj kirin
maybe ask yourself, what it is specifically that you dislike or that you resist with SRK?
Meditation isn't perfect or meant to be. Try letting it flow, when you feel the 'resistance' thoughts arising, that is the time to 'ease' into the meditation, to 'allow', not fight.
If that means only getting 39 pumps, then regroup and come back for 48 on the next breath. Maybe you need to speed your mantra up?
Sounds like you're beating yourself up some, the negativity builds and self propagates.
I find that whether its SRK, One Minute Breath, Tershula..softening, and allowing always works.
EVENTUALLY, the lungs expand. The 11 mins is a barrier for you, or you've made it one. Try setting the timer to just run, and do SRK as long as you can. If you have to cheat a round here or there fine, whatever it takes. you will find a point that you can go as long as your head can take the energy, because your lungs adjust. It stops being a race.
Good teachers, whether its Guru Rattana, Gurmukh, Yogi Bhjan give you meditations you need. This could be about your self-imposed limitations.
And don't forget to love yourself after you've finished, 3 mins, or 2.5 hrs...
Keep up
blessings

> Sat Nam, I was given Sodarchan chakra Kirya for a 40 day or longer at 31 minutes. I have been doing it for a month now and it is a constant struggle.I am doing the full 48 pumps, but i can barely make it 11 minutes I am dytermined to get to the 31. Everyday I think it will get easier and it doesn't. I actually dread it. It has put a negative spin and my very stuctured practice. I really want to get it. I am not willing to give up. The assignment was given to me by Gurmuk. It was one in answer to a request form I sent her. Can anyone give me tips to relieve the stress of this kirya? Sat Nam Thank you Raj Kirin Kaur
