You buy a really good paint remover and you put it on the walls and it simply melts all the old gung. Basically, Sat Kriya as a daily practice is very powerful. As for modifications: If you can do the kriya as instructed then you should do it as closely to the write up as possible. Six years of this practice, ongoing, has given me clear knowledge of the Unknown, GREAT female power, eternal youth and sublime communication with the Sikh Gurus, whom I call upon for support to wash and heal the world. I remembered that the other person is me, that good old sutra from Yogi Bhajan. This redirected sexual energy is very healing to the entire body. The only thing the student has to do is follow the kriya exactly and keep going. Posted on December 4th, by Jai Gopal in Bestblog, Kundalini Yoga, Meditations to do, Yoga, Yoga Sets. When I was in my early 20s, before I ever took up the turban and the tunic, I measured my success by my jean size, and my size 4 self was quite smug. I can look at my reflection lovingly and treat my body kindly, even though the reflection is bigger than its ever been. The other effects, I can not describe as yet. Without Sat Kriya I would without a doubt be wallowing in a depression that I had previously allowed to takeover my life. I often wonder what I would be like today If I had grown up with knowledge of kundalini yoga. I daily practice udyan bandh and mool bandh and it has cured my piles problem but i am but skeptical about doing this kriya without the guidance of a teacher. Cross the thumbs: Females cross left over right and Males cross right over left. Exhale. Jai Gopal on September 20, 2009 at 4:49 pm said. When you practice deep meditation, you are cleaning the garbage from your sub-conscious mind. I was then encouraged by some friends to do 3 minutes, and I am glad I tried that. I absolutely do not drive because I am afraid. Raise the arms straight up and rotate the upper arms inward so that the arms are hugging the ears. Increases and strengthens the nervous system for overall well-being and radiance. Always use the mantra Sat Naam, as it is integral to this kriya. The sub-conscious mind is also the landscape we travel in dreams at night, full of symbolism. My greatest weakness happened to be self loathing. Inhale and repeat above step one more time. Yogi Bhajan, the master has stated that kundalini is a practice for the householder. The symptoms of kundalini awakening are also being felt in the body. Do Sat Kriya for a minimum of three minutes daily for a period of forty days and record your experiences. Any deep meditation will help to calm the mind and balance the psyche so I recommend trying it and seeing how you feel but as always in medical and psychological matters you should consult and work with a medical professional that you trust before changing any regimen or venturing into uncharted territory with phobias or other conditions. Other things to stay away from during those first three days are navel exercises and anything that could strain the abdomen. We asked our teacher Harijiwan, a master and long time practitioner of Sat Kriya told us that both ways are technically correct. Jai Gopal on March 1, 2010 at 11:42 am said. I try and do Kirtan Kriya before sleeping, when I do, I have deep sleep. A panic attack is when a state of fear cripples the energy by compressing it very rapidly.

Earlier I had written that you pull mulbandh from the start. Because Sat Kriya is difficult, people tend to shrink under the weight of it. Balances the shadow aspects of overactive sex drive and sexual phobias through this redirecting of the sexual creative energy through the heart and upper chakras, which relate to the transcendant god-aspect of the human being. Also, many kundalini kriyas are known to balance and in some cases remove neuroses. Just pulling the navel and chanting will cause a natural breath rhythm to develop.

This is a pretty tough exercise when beginning kundalini yoga. Kundalini yoga is the science of getting to know your own spirit. Deep breathing will help alleviate the effects of a panic attack immediately and regular pranayam (strengthening breath exercises) will help prevent it in the future. Relaxation after a kriya, especially Sat Kriya, allows the effects to expand into your energy field. Focusing on the breath can be distracting and put you off track. I see my students, because they expect the kriya to be hard, they jerk the body and bounce up and down. Good luck. Neha on February 25, 2010 at 4:49 am said. I have been doing kundalini for less than 2 months and i will never stop because the results are too powerful. There are no specific guidelines that I know of for increasing the number of minutes on Sat Kriya. Now that the energy was getting into the upper centers my meditiations, particularly while chanting in the morning began to go much, much deeper. So use your judgement but always rest sufficiently after. Sat Kriya is one of the premiere kundalini yoga exercises because it covers everything and moves the energy very quickly. Completed Sat Kryia 40 Days on Saturday, I have had quite an appetite since then. Are there specific guidelines about increasing the number of minutes of sat kriya. Thusly, self respect is becoming my greatest strength (of course i focus on my weakness to overcome it).

They always got back to normal and it actually greatly improved the circulation in my legs. Is it really necessary to say the mantra loud or can just shout it mentally and can pull the naval back. Jai Gopal on February 23, 2011 at 3:01 pm said. Try to relax for about the same amount of time as the exercise. Sat Kriya definitely keeps all the chakras balanced and flowing. The key, stop focusing on limitations, pour all your love and energy into the pursuit of Truth and vast prayers to heal all. RAG on November 22, 2010 at 2:30 pm said.

I found it after doing a search for Sat Kriya on google. Paula on March 23, 2010 at 12:07 pm said. However, the focus is on pulling the navel point in.
Sat Kriya has provided me with an inner peace, an almost childlike bliss that motivates me to do so very much more with my time. As you stretch up on the spine, you will get a different pull on the navel. Many people who consider doing Sat Kriya for an extended period of time, shy away because they inevitably see themselves in a situation where it would be inappropriate to chant too loud. Stimulates the glandular (endocrine) system, particularly the lymph glands which remove toxins from the body. Then inhale completely and exhale completely then hold the breath out long as you can, while pulling the root lock and squeezing the muscles of the back all the way up again. I started for 11 minutes with the plan of doing it for 40 days, but had to humbly stop as it was pretty intense. Just as when the mind wanders you bring it back, when the posture slips, correct it. I have an outline of mantras used in kundalini yoga here. After some time in the practice though I began to notice great things. I am doing it, and I have had some intense emotional releases. The experience is an invigorating addition to my meditation practice. Just let the breath follow naturally from the movement.

This physical movement of the sexual energy upward becomes a meditation which causes you to look upon the others with the perspective of the heart and the grace of the higher self, as opposed to an object of sexual desire only. Sat Kriya is a really good paint remover. I personally have seen Sat Kriya and other kriyas I have done improve my mind and remove addictions and irrational fears.

I add one more minute for each day, and today I did it for 16 minutes. If you tune in with the adi mantra (ong namo guru dev namo) and end with Long Sat Nam (usually 3 times) then you are okay. That may seem like no big deal to you or even a giant step back, but to me, its huge movement forward. Keep going and if you feel strong enough, increase the time incrementally.

Kundalini Yoga as taught by yogi Bhajan is perfectly safe if you follow the kriyas exactly as outlined by the master. I have been doing sat kriya for the last 70 days for 5 minutes. There was a discussion between my wife and I some time back though (she does Sat Kriya also) whether it was correct just pulling the navel or the entire root lock. SO, basically a more powerful time is before sunrise, but we stress that the most important thing is to do the kriya at whatever time works for you and make it complement your life. I decided to do this because as a teacher of kundalini yoga, I taught the Sat Kriya workout and became lightheaded while teaching. I just wisht to know whether its right to do sat kriya without the guidance of a teacher or yogic guru. Other modifications for sat kriya I have heard are lying down, in full lotus pose (actually lotus pose is harder and more advanced). Sat Kriya is not to be done on the first three days of the menstrual cycle. Strengthens the heart through the rhythmic increase in blood pressure which results from the pumping movement of the navel point. I recently decided to start doing Sat Kriya as my daily meditation. I have a lot of tension in my head and the ganapati kriya has been helpful and I think Sat Kriya, is a nice compliment to it. Certain other kriyas and breaths are also not to be done during this time. Jai Gopal on March 18, 2010 at 11:31 am said. Gurudeep on January 30, 2011 at 11:29 pm said.

All sorts of things happen along the way. I find myself to be more outgoing because I am more accepting of myself and of those around me. It seems strange when you first come to the practice but kundalini yoga works deeply on the unseen parts of the sub-conscious mind. What my teacher has taught me is that these dreams, or any visions you have during practice are simply interesting events to experience but ultimately they have no real importance.

Sat Kriya directly stimulates the sexual-creative energy and redirects that energy upward, through the upper chakras causing a balancing of the energy system. My senses for the most part are getting more in tune, for starters. At this time the sun is about 60 degrees below the horizon which causes a calmer state of energy on the planet and during that time your meditation is much more powerful and penetrates up to 40 times more deeply than at other times. All great masters which I have read or studied basically say to keep going in meditation. I had aches and pains that had subsided almost completely in only 2 weeks of practice but this is the benefit that i focus on least.
