Sadhana means to practice something as a discipline, in order to learn from it, and make it a regular life habit.

In Sikhism, the term sadhana is used primarily by Western Sikh converts and refers to a spiritual discipline or practice, usually involving chanting and Kundalini yoga as taught by the late Yogi Bhajan, a system which has its roots in Hinduism, rather than mainstream Sikhism. Students of Kundalini may engage in ashram group living for the purpose of practicing yoga and meditation during early morning Sadhana to effect positive changes in life and consciousness.

I wonder if others here have their own personal sadhana and what it may be.

I thought I'd go ahead..... till someone chimes in. i practice energization exercises daily. They help me balance out energies in the body. i practice kriya-the first technique to help me really settle down the restless mind. i practice hong-sau; it helps with lengthening space between breaths. i practice om; it has made me aware of sounds other than physical. i practice the i am techniques they help me find space for spiritual experience in a busy schedule. i also practice-among other practices - a personal mantra given to me by a Guru. I enjoy reading Yogananda's vast material.... especially the SRF lessons and his book Scientific Affirmations... i have often spent long periods practicing certain affirmations to get my life in balance and attract certain needs when they arrise in my life. I try to keep company and serve other spiritual aspirants as they have for me also. I pray everyday for people i have known and currently keep in contact with. i also pray for this one. Lastly I see saints and spiritual persons and take pilgrimages whenever possible. This has given me and those around me countless blessings.
