Kriya Yoga Meditation
Kriya Yoga meditation refers to actions designed to get
rid of obstructions involving body and mind. Kriya Yoga meditation is
a complete system covering a wide range of techniques, including mantras
and techniques of meditation for control of the life-force, bringing calmness
and control of both body and mind.
The goal is to unite with pure Awareness. Since pure Awareness
is our original condition, it is also referred to as Self-awareness.
Around 1920, Paramahansa Yogananda introduced Kriya Yoga
meditation to the West and founded the Self-Realization Fellowship.
Kriya Yoga meditation: A brief introduction
Preparing the mind. Kriya Yoga is said to be a combination of the more useful
Yoga techniques. Like Raja Yoga, Kriya teaches the laws of general conduct
, including harmlessness, truthfulness, non-stealing.
- Life-force control (pranayama). At this point the difference to other
systems, like Raja Yoga meditation, becomes
quite obvious. Kriya pranayama is not as much about increasing the time
of retention of breath but to magnetize the spine and direct life-force
to the brain with the effect to refine the brain and nervous system.
- Initiation and Shaktipat (transfer of energy). The seeker is initiated
in the proper use of Kriya pranayama. When the seeker is ready, a transfer
of energy might occur either from the outside or from within. To experience
Kundalini (energy) on its way up the spine is an event powerful enough
to change the way we think and function.
- Higher Kriyas. For advanced students there are still a few higher
Kriya meditation techniques. Full Self-realization may achieved by practicing
faithfully the Mantras given for regular Meditation.
