Sacred science of 1000 journey

In the yoga tradition, it takes 1000 days to master a new skill.  Yesterday, I watched the documentary called Sacred Science, it also mentions the 1000 days to become a master- at least a beginning master.  Why do you practice anything?  To improve your skills, in focus of a larger vision.   If I want to run a marathon, I would have to practice/train, stay focused and keep my mind on the larger goal of running the marathon- healthy- happy and strong.

And this 1000 day journey is a practice.  A practice to keep me focused on improving my skills for a larger vsion.  The time of 1000 days gives me time to learn, get stronger and have it become part of me.  If it was any shorter I would want to press- like I normally do- but with a 1000 days, it reminds me this is a long journey and not a 100 yard sprint.

1000 days is a long time but if I count the number of days I have been alive, I have already had 17.52 1000 day journeys. The fact is everyday is a journey, but most days I am asleep, wondering around and often disconnected.  Year after year I find myself tired and remorseful come December. And so as I start day 22nd day of a 1000 day journey, I realize I would be having this day no matter what.  The difference being in having a practice is I have reason.  This is just a practice.   This practice will never lead to perfection, it isn't possible.  But what I know this practice will give me is vision, insights and many, many gifts along the way.

This 1000 day practice is largely about faith.  Having the faith that by practicing and trusting in the process, whatever I will need will appear within the steps of this journey.

Wishing you a good journey today, a good practice.

I would highly recommend the Sacred Science Documentary.  It is about 8 people, all with different health troubles.  They travel and stay in the Amazon forest and get treatment from multiple Shaman.  By using the ancient art of healing from the gifts of the Amazon they look to help heal these 8.
