Less is More

I took my time with the kriya, but not more than I usually used to, and I then took rapeh, Capemba, less than I recently used to. And it felt even more potent this time. It could be that I was in a better state of mind, in a better energy level, but in any case, I intend to stick to this approach of “less is more”.
And I will implement it to other areas too; the time I spend with activities and tasks, giving them my heart and mind fully focused. And also apply it to my diet.
It could be due to other factors as well, but even for the kriya, spending less time with it seems more effective and therefore more efficient.
I intend to implement this in my work too. Taking as much time as necessary but not more. It enhances the sense of control, a feeling of reclaiming your time and energy through the clarity of the mind. It helps you follow your daily plans and routine.
And also for sleep, I slept perhaps a little less than six hours, and it was tempting to stay in bed. I was actually considering staying another 1.5 hours, but I am so happy and feel rewarded for my decision that I still got up. I feel refreshed, my mind is clear. I feel good. I know it just would not be the same if I stayed in bed more, compromising my daily routine from the start.
And from the moment of getting up, it just becomes easier rapidly. That’s the critical point. Just get out of bed. It is easy and obvious in hindsight, but in that state of being woken up by the alarm, if that’s the case, it can seem the biggest obstacle. And still other times, you might just jump out of bed even earlier without the alarm.
Reclaiming all this time, energy, and clarity is the only state to be in for facing and dealing with our daily challenges and tasks.

Even the clarity about the use of rapeh by knowing and experiencing it for myself; I know it serves me every time when I use it with intention. Even daily if that’s the case. And while there is a space and time to meditate with it when it comes intuitively and effortlessly, like a gratitude prayer going through you which I do sometimes, other times, like this morning, I had a clear intention for my day, which I articulated in a few heartfelt thoughts as a short prayer. And I didn’t want to overthink or overdo it. I thought it, I felt it, and I received the support of this wonderful plant medicine. Sometimes I used to push it by praying/saying more, trying to force myself out of an unpleasant state, probably even overthinking the words, but it does not help. As long as you have the intention in your heart, you don’t even need the thoughts and the words. Just let go and receive, let go and let god.
