Sadhana and kriya

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam Julia:

 

Sadhana means "daily spiritual practice". Whatever you do every day

to work on yourself is sadhana. There are many different ways of

doing sadhana, but many KY practitioners follow a particular practice

for early morning sadhana. In short, an hour or so of yoga (often

the same kriya for 40 days in a row), and an hour of chanted

meditations, actually a sequence of meditations, done in a particular

order, which add up to 62 minutes.

 

Kriya (you will also see the term "set" used) means a sequence of

postures (it might only be a single posture) that produces a

particular effect. One of the things that sets KY apart from other

forms of yoga is that it is based on using kriyas, rather than simply

asanas. Just as each asana has a particular effect, when a sequence

of them is done, you get an cumulative, overarching effect that is

greater than that which comes from doing those same asanas in some

random order. There are thousands of kriyas in KY, so it is easy to

find one that works on exactly the issues you want to deal with at

any given time.
