[Kundalini Yoga] Re: meditation recommendation

Hi Kelli, Questions are good! It means you're interested.
There are probably plenty of meditations that might fit your parameters (while nursing?), but here are a couple of ideas that come to mind:

1)This is simple: long deep breathing w/ a mantra such as sa ta na ma vibrated silently at the brow on the inhale and again on the exhale. This is a YB quote about sa ta na ma, "You want to make a wish? Be noble and chant Sat Nam. Meditate on Sat Nam. It will carry you from anywhere to anywhere." Start with a comfortable breathing speed and over the 40 days you will deepen and slow it, increasing your capacity and concentration.

2) Already have mentioned Shabad kriya twice. It does take more breath control, but you can do the rhythm more quickly until you develop more capacity. YB said in the KY Meditation Manual For Intermediate Students, "The best time to practice this kriya is every night before bed. If it is practised regularly, sleep will be deep and relaxed and the nerves will regenerate....You will think better, work better, share better, love better, and fight better. This rhythmic mantra will eventually progress so that even in daily activities you will automatically hear the mantra and take on the breath pattern....There cannot be enough praise of this meditation and its growth promoting effect on the personality. It gives radiance and the radiance gives patience which is the first condition of real Love. In Love you give without attention to all the mistakes of another as the sun gives light and warmth to all people. The incorporation of this practical universality in the personality comes with the disciplined practice of shabd kriya."
