SUMMARY:21 Day Bowing practice
DESCRIPTION:From March 8 to March 28\, 2021\, at 5.00 am(CEST\, Warsaw time zone)\, there will be group online daily practice of 500 bows.\nPeriods of intensive together practice are a great form of strengthening our presence on the Zen path.\nWhen joining the event\, you should assume that you are taking part in the practice every day for at least 7 consecutive days (preferably 3 weeks). The idea of an intensive practice period is to commit to a given time and then just do it (similar to participating in a group retreat). \nAPPLICATION\nUse the form\, please. Before applying\, be sure to read the FAQ. The most important things are described there. \nZOOM – LOGIN DATA\nMeeting ID: 878 4099 4850\nPassword: the password will be sent to you after you apply. In case of problems\, please write to koz.bows@gmail.com. \nPRACTICE PLAN \n\n5:00  3X108 Bows\n5:40  coffee/toilet break \n5:45  30mins of Sitting Meditation\n6:15  2X108 bows\n6:40  Practice ends\n\n       *2 minutes rest time between 108 bows \n  \nFAQ \nHEALTH\nIf you have some health problems\, particularly with joints\, heart\, etc. consult your physician before you begin. You join the practice at your own risk. We are not qualified to assess your ability to do this practice. \nWHY BOW?\nBowing is a form of meditation that involves the whole body\, which quickly helps you to focus your mind. Meditation becomes quite intense. This is a very good method for people who want to make an extra effort in practice\, but don’t have a lot of time. \nMY HEALTH IS OK\, BUT I’M NOT SURE IF IT WON’T BE TOO BIG A CHALLENGE FOR ME\, PHYSICALLY\n500 bows a day is certainly a physical effort. The experience of many people who have done it shows that the body adapts quickly. The most important thing is to keep the practicemind throughout. If you cannot complete the entire schedule on a given day\, do standing bows (all or part of it). This is ok. Common sense is important. \nWHAT DO I NEED?\nphone / tablet / computer with Zoom installed\nmat/blankets – see the TIPS below\nsport shorts / loose-fitting pants and comfortable t-shirt \nEMOTIONS\nThis practice can be a very deep and interesting experience. However\, its intensity can sometimes trigger emotions that will be\ndifficult to deal with. If you experience such emotions\, please contact your Guiding Teacher. \nWHAT IF I WILL NOT WAKE UP IN TIME TO JOIN THE PRACTICE OR I HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY ETC.?\nTry to do the practice by yourself alone that day and show up the next morning. It happens. \nHOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO JOIN?\nIt’s free. You can support Cracow Zen Center with a donation if you wish. It’s always nice. \n  \nTIPS \nI HAVE SORENESS/MY MUSCLES HURT\nMethods used in sports work: massage (e.g. rolling the thighs on massagers)\, sports ointments\, Epsom salt soaking bath etc. \nTYPE OF MAT TO USE\nThick sitting mat or couple of them stacked or 2-3 blankets folded and stacked. With this amount of bowing\, a towel to protect the mat from sweat is useful. The foam mats also work well (denser foam variety) plus they are resistant to sweat. \nSHOULD I DO A LITTLE MORE BOWING THAN USUAL PRIOR TO MARCH 8?\nIf you are not used to bowing a lot\, you should prepare yourself for at least a week. Start with 108 a day and work your way up to 216. After a week of preparation\, you should be able to carry out the program. I would like to warn you that initial physical adaptation may be a bit difficult. \nADDITIONAL SUPPORT\nCaffeine\, citrulline\, ginseng. They all work fine for me.Citrulline offers cardiovascular support during exercise.   \n
