Daily Introspection Practice
Each night just prior to sleep (when your subconscious is more porous)
inhale and exhale in a 4:4 pattern and relax completely. (4 beats of the
heart during the in breath and 4 beats of the heard during the out breath)
Either lying in bed or sitting up (try not to fall asleep!) begin to recall the day
from start to finish. Review each event, each encounter, of the day and
with full impunity and leniency towards yourself and others ask yourself the
following questions:
What did I think or feel that I should not have thought or felt?
What did I not think or feel that I should have thought or felt?
What did I say that I should not have said?
What did I not say that I should have said?
What did I do that I should not have done?
What did I not do that I should have done?
The goal is not to scold (nor to praise!) yourself or others, but simply to
observe your activity and work to correct your behavior. With time you
will grow more accomplished at seeing yourself and will find that your
moral, spiritual and mystical life will accelerate in growth.

Mysticism is not an escape from this life, it is learning how to live fully while still in this prison. “Escape,” whether you call it baqa, moksha, nirvana, or some other word, usually comes after this life for those who are enlightened. Some might say “life is hell” and, in a figurative sense, they could be right. Even the most enjoyable lives have their share of sorrows, troubles and suffering. Spiritual life, while living it, is never completely liberated from all restrictions or fluctuations; it is, however, a great deal more fulfilling. The divine life is true liberation. It is freedom from our normal sense of limits. [quoted from my e-book on comparative mysticism]
