Would this ruin a Square?

I was attempting the 5th day of a spiritual mars square and I am not sure if it worked or not.

At a point of around the late teens/early 20's in reps I ended up coughing in the middle of a word's vibration and had to stop and do that particular word over. Normally I wouldn't see it as an issue, but I vibrated quite a bit of the word.

The word was: BHAUMAYA and I got up to
BHAUMA-*Cough!*

(BB-AHH-UUU-MM-A-*Cough!*) vs (BB-AHH-UUU-MM-AH-YAH)

I ended up stopping and doing the single word (BHAUMAYA) over again correctly and continuing with the full mantra (AUM KRA-AM KRIM KRAUM SAU BHAUMAYA SVA-HA). I finished the rest of the reps and affirmed it, but now I am unsure. Do you think since so much of the single word was vibrated that it "counted" for the sake of a repetition of the word?

This leads into a question I had a while ago, a How much of a word can be vibrated before it is considered having been fully done for repetition number?

Do you think I should just start the square over this tuesday? Or is this not really an issue?

No WinterWarrior will not be able to tell or not because WinterWarrior is terrible at feeling energy like that lol

My biggest issue with the squares and these kinds of problems is that you never quite know if say, that failed roll of an R, or that occasional cough, ruined the mantra, and then your faced with the task of deciding whether to repeat a mantra set you might have spent an hour on over again on a hunch.

Are you able to feel when a square is broken Sly? If so what does it feel like? When I raise energy for the square with the mantras I usually feel it when the reps get high enough, but am not sure if that means it is the squares energy or just the energy I am building in general from the mantras

I never figured out how to roll rs as nothing in my native language has rs rolled. I did figure out how to fake it a little with some things though. The squares still worked fine for me.

It will feel weaker or like you started over at a new spot if it's broken. The energy will stay built up but it won't grow stronger and may feel like it's released already. In some cases if near the very end it may be better just to finish it you may get what you want anyways. However if near the middle or begging better to start over.

The rolled R is not a must. It was update in the ToZ many years ago, if you look you will find it there. Basically it work the same whatever you roll it or not.

Wait isn't the rolled R a must for the planet squares? I thought the exception was for cleaning and raum, where does it say you don't need to roll the R's?

I've coughed in mid-word a few times, and continued. It was fine. Just stay in tune with the mantra and the planet, ignore the cough, and continue.

Hi Lydia,

I have another question, if I am doing the jupiter square, and I try to roll the R but it doesn't roll, should I start the word over and try again? Or should I try to roll the R again and pick up from there?

I had the same problem when I was newer at mantras, the rolled R was not natural for me.

A tip, try practicing rolling R's daily, before you do your square. Spend a few minutes rolling it, and it will be easier. I never mess up the R's now, due to practice.

I've actually gotten pretty good at them, and learned recently a trick (tilting your head upwards at the start of the roll) that's given me a pretty solid 90% success rate.

Problem is, what should I do when that 10% squeaks through and I botch the rolled R on one of the words? Should I do the beginning part of (only) that word again to get it fully right, or just try the rolled R again and pick up where I left off in the word?

I actually tried to reply to that but my internet gimped out.

If you're off by just a bit, then just immediately try that letter again, picking up where you left off. Like "er-r-RRR", if that makes sense.

Ok thank you Lydia, I was worried what I should do if attempt a word and the r just doesn't roll, it puts alot of worry to rest having a definitive answer on this.
