Aim Discipline
DHARANA EXERCISE : FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE

Think about the last time you went to a wedding. How
was it? Where was it? Was it a day/night wedding?
What were the decorations like? Who were the bride
and groom? Did they look happy or stressed? What was
the food like? What do you remember eating? Was the
Barat on time or usually late? Did u have a good time?
1/9
Now take your awareness to a memory where you
were spending time with your closest friends. What
was the environment like ? Where were u all ? Were
you all laughing and talking or playing games ? Did
you all go out shopping ? Or did u all watch a
movie ? How did you feel ?
Now take your awareness when you went for a long
drive. Were you alone or with people ? Which car
were you in ? Were the windows open or did you
put on the AC ? Was there music playing?
Now bring your awareness to the present moment and
open your eyes.
Our mind is a storehouse of so many different things, it's like

a playground. In our mind, we decide what action to take, we
go back to memories, create thoughts, words, and sentences,
refine our work, and think of creative ideas.
One part of this mind is awareness, and it can be taken to
different parts.
2/9
Think of awareness like a ball, and we can throw it in
different places. Eg. If asked to bring the ball to our leg, we
can take it to our legs, to our arms, to a childhood memory, to
a time when we were giving an exam, or went on a drive. So
this ball of awareness can be taken all over our mind, to the
past, to the future, or anywhere we want.
Awareness is what needs to be focused and concentrated, not

our mind. Mind is very vast, it cannot be focused.
Similarly, when we don't want our ball to go in a certain
direction, we quickly go catch it and bring it back.
So Dharana is focussing our awareness on one point and
bringing it back to that point when concentration wavers.
3/9
HOW TO FOCUS ?
Focus on a single object/task.
Eg. if we are taking X no. of hours to
finish a certain work, and if we focus
without getting distracted, then we can
finish that in a shorter span of time.
Concentration is also like a muscle, the more we exercise it,
the stronger it becomes.
WHERE TO FOCUS ?
We focus either on an idol, mantra, or mandala.
The idea of focusing at one point is to keep
sharpening our power of concentration.
BENEFITS :
It slows down our monkey mind, reduces the
number of thoughts, allows us to reduce the
distractions very easily.
We keep thinking about so many things that we have to do and
sometimes end up not doing even one of those. So in order to be
fully involved in our work, we have to cultivate Aim Discipline.
4/9
So rather than doing 20
things at a time, concentrate
on doing 1 thing at a time. So
cultivating dharana in daily
life is to do 1 thing at a time.
Cultivate Dharana in daily life

Take up one goal at a time and complete that with full focus.
Do the work with full involvement as if your life depends upon

it. If you’re writing an email write it the best possible way.
Give your absolute best in everything you do. Learn new ways
to do your work the best way possible.
Negative thoughts will not plague you & you will achieve succes.s

5/9
HEALTHY HABIT OF THE DAY
ENEMA
Enema is absolutely safe, no damage can be caused by plain
water, there is no pain and it's not dirty.
When we are born, we have absolutely clean
intestines but as we keep growing older and
keep eating processed food, our intestines
start to become dirtier.
Many of the foods that we eat are so different
in nature than how mother nature made them,
they do not get fully digested. Eg. Maida, so
the residual remains stuck in our intestines and
then this residue makes the intestines very toxic,
after which the same toxicity is also transferred
to the bloodstream.
6/9
On the insides of our intestines, there are very tiny finger-like
structures called the VILLI. The job of this villi is to keep
absorbing nutrients from the food. Since so much dirt is stuck
in the intestines, they also get absorbed into the bloodstream
and travel to the entire body and all organs, because of this
a lot of diseases are caused.
When waste is stuck in specific parts/glands,
the disease starts forming in that area. Eg.
heart related diseases.
Constipation is the mother of all diseases.
Even if our bowels are getting cleared every
morning, everybody's intestines still have dirt.
When our pots and pans become very greasy, we soak them in
water for some time and after that, we are able to clean them
very easily. Similarly, Enema allows us to soak our colon with a
little bit of water. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then when
we clear our bowels we will see so much waste coming out.
7/9
HOW TO DO ENEMA ?
1. Buy it from any chemist near or order online from our website.
2. Clean it with plain water and fill
150-200 ml of water in the container.
3. Rub some oil around the tip of the
nozel and around anus.
4. The tip goes into the anus.
5. Place the container on a height and through gravity the
water will flow down into our colon.
6. The best position to take it in is by kneeling, if not possible
then we can also take it sitting on a pot.
7. Hold it in for 10-15 minutes and massage the stomach.
8. When the pressure kicks in, clear the bowels.
9. The best time to take enema is in the morning after clearing
our bowels. Do not take it immediately after the meals. Keep a
gap of minimum 3 hours.
It is really beneficial during our fasting days because our

praanshakti is dumping all the waste in our colon.
8/9
You do not have to take it all the time, take it for a week
and then leave it and any time you feel constipated, you
can just take enema rather than taking any churans or
medicines. They create dependency whereas enema does not.
ACTIVITY OF THE DAY
The one thing

Decide your one thing for each
day and invest yourself fully
into completing that one thing
with a single-minded focus. This
is your aim discipline. What will
be your one thing for today?
