Yes, 31 minutes is very ambitious for starters. Are you on facebook? Ravi and Ana did a 40 day group meditation w/ sodarshon and people are still posting their experiences. You might find the thread to be quite illuminating and encouraging. Go to facebook.com, Raviana Yoga (w/ Meditation cover picture)click on the discussions tab, then down to "40 day meditation-join us." Really, many people are thrilled to build up and complete 40 days at 11 minutes.
There's no race- some well-known yogis such as Gurutej and Ravi have been doing Sodarshon for about 20 years now!
