Kriya yoga has found a place in some people who seek a deeper relationship and spiritual with their lives. This is a technique-oriented kundalini yoga and meditation who also teaches certain spiritual and esoteric principles. Unfortunately, like many similar “spiritual” power structures, it teaches you that essentially your power lies outside of yourself – that is, that you need a ‘guru’, or ‘master’ to access your own innate spirituality. Kriya yoga has some aims which sound both appealing and promising. They aim to eliminate “obstructions” and “obstacles” from the mind and body.
The angle of view is very interesting here, however. Because what the obstacle or hindrance to one person, it is impossible to another. This assumes a very interesting light refers to the power structures and belief systems, and highlights why it is important to maintain your own self sovereignty in mind and action. Kriya yoga was brought to the West by Yogananda in the 1920′s. He founded the Self-Realization Fellowship as a system of ‘total yoga’ which tries to overcome the spiritual and physical aspects of self.
Kriya yoga comes primarily from three other yoga techniques – karma yoga, bhakti yoga, and Jnana yoga. Karma yoga focuses on the movement of people both inside and outside the mind. Jnana yoga focuses on wisdom, so that freedom of mind. Bhakti yoga focuses on love, because it allows you to make peace with everything around you. The purpose of combining them is to “purify” the mind and soul, and kriya yoga supporters believe they can achieve self-realization in this way is faster than other disciplines to follow.
Kriya Preparation
The first step in Kriya is to ‘prepare’ your body, and is done in one of several ways. For many people, Hatha yoga is the perfect preparation exercises. For others, though, that may not be flexible, alternatives are provided. Furthermore, in Kriya, the mind is ready. General conduct was studied as part of the mental processes in this discipline, so make sure you really focus your mind is important. In addition, the technique of Kriya yoga encourages you to learn to overall health, cleanliness, purity, and even metaphysical principles. Together, though, they help to ‘prepare’ the mind for later techniques, which use the body’s life force currents ostensibly to “refine” the brain and nervous system.
Mantra yoga techniques taught in the craft. They are believed to deepen their meditation experience. This technology is undoubtedly the sound track of the body, like a tuning fork, as you would any sound repeated and focused on. The question is, of course, to what frequency of a tuned body? If self realization is a journey, whose journey are we undertaking? Kriya yoga doubt resonates with some people. For myself, I prefer more transparent.
