Participate fully.
Every section has experiential elements, some of them of differing durations. Take your time with these, work on it dring the week and, try to absorb deeper in your inner self before moving on.
Practice consciously.
Whichever of these yogas seems to be most natural to you, make sure to practice at least a little of all four. When you go about daily activities, remember that it’s really God serving through you. When you are with your loved ones, love God in them even when you disagree with aspects of their personalities. When you feel a strong desire or get angry or frustrated, remember that those are just the likes and dislikes of your ego, which are not rooted in your soul and which you will soon forget about. And try to fit in at least 10 minutes of daily meditation, and longer as you become more experienced. This will keep your practice going in the right direction and allow you to progress much more quickly.
Be open.
Try to participate in this course with an open mind, and more importantly, with an open heart. The insights we gain about ourselves can be doorways to deep inspiration.
Observe Yourself.
