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.
