Sat Kriya & breath

[Guest guest]

Dear friends:

 

There is not a specific correct way to breathe for Sat Kriya. This

is why explanations of Sat Kriya never specify a breath. At teacher

training we were told specifically not to provide a breath technique

when teaching it, but only to specify the chant and the pulling of

the navel point (you don't need to pull the lower locks, that comes

naturally with the navel point). Each person finds the natural way

to breathe for themself.

 

I used to get very hot during Sat Kriya, but recently, particularly

during a longer session (31 minutes or more), I will start to get

cold, and always need extra blankets during the relaxation afterward

(don't forget to relax afterward, for at least as long as your

practice - preferably, twice as long).

 

Many blessings,

Sadhant

Dear Fran, Satsang, & friends:

 

We were taught specifically in teacher training that there is not one

correct breath for Sat Kriya, and never to teach any particular

breath.

 

Instead, we focus on coordinating the rhythm of the mantra with the

pulling/releasing of the navel point and let each person find the

breath rhythm that is correct for them (different people will find

different rhythms).

 

Love & blessings,

Sadhant
