Before starting your Samayik or Pratikraman, finish all your other worldly
chores, so that your mind does not get involved in those thoughts. This
includes all the physiological as well as socio-economic matters. Select a
quiet place so that you can concentrate. It is preferable that it has good
natural ventilation, also it should have enough natural light. Wear
simple, freshly washed clothes. Two pieces of white cotton wrap around are
advised. Sit on a mat just big enough for one person. Clean the sitting
place with a Rajoharan, or something else which is gentle to remove any
bugs if present. Take care at all times, that you do not hurt any bug or
insect.
