The BlogTalk: 2nd Question: How to overcome the challenges of home-practice?

The Master’s Guidance Continues

Acharya Mahendranath
(The Master)

As the coronavirus pandemic rages on, the entire country is in a lockdown. All students have been missing the joy of coming to the training centres, practicing in a group, interacting with the teachers, and of course meeting the Master. Everyone has also missed having our monthly “Master’s Talk Session”. But Master says that physical lockdown need not mean lockdown of our lives. We can still do the same things, but do them differently. Which is why the Master has given a schedule for daily practice of Martial Arts, Yoga and Reiki Energy Healing, and all students have responded really well. 

Our activities over Instagram and Facebook have kept us connected with each other’s energy. So why stop here? Why not have Master’s Talk Session as well, but in a different manner? So we asked students to send us questions and the Master has given His guidance through this blog. So we hope that you all read it, understand it, internalize it, apply it and make your life even better. Please share your comments at the end of each question and of course, more questions are welcome on moxshlife@gmail.com.

Q.

Sachidanand Pandey

When I practice at home, I am not able to practice with the intensity that I practice in class. I get exhausted very quickly. So how can I increase my stamina/capacity for practicing at home.

— Sachidanand Pandey, Student of Keimoudo®— Moxsh® Martial Arts

Master’s Guidance: "It is your mind that is subconsciously prompting you and telling you that you are practicing at home. When you are in training sessions, the mind does not interfere. You are with a group of students and you all collectively practice the same regimen, which creates a different energy. The intensity is a result of the regimen training, live instructions with Master’s or teacher’s counts, and group practice, and therefore the intensity cannot be replicated at home.

But the stamina you have during the training session and at home is the same. The difference is that at home, the mind keeps jumping in and telling you that “you are at home” and that’s why you get exhausted quickly. This is a psychological barrier that you have to cross.

Keimoudo develops you at physical, psychological and spiritual levels. As beginners you focus on learning the techniques, the sequence, etc. Then gradually you develop passion, respect and devotion for the art. When that happens, it does not matter where you are practicing. The practice itself becomes your sadhana.

So, you now need to make conscious efforts to keep your subconscious at bay and make yourself understand that it is the same practice. Your stamina is same at home and in Keimoudo training sessions. Make conscious efforts to bring the same rhythm to your practice at home."
