Sat Kriya

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam All!

 

I have a question regarding Sat Kriya and other kriyas that require rock pose.

I am unable to sit on my feet due to a hammer toe I acquired from 25 years of

distance running. I've tried pillows, cushions everything. I usually do Sat

Kriya in easy pose. My feeling is that this is effective , but less effective

than rock pose. Does anyone of any information on this? I've been practicing

kundalini yoga for several years and love it. I enjoy this group tremendously .

 

Much Light,

 

Larry

You are quite correct: the effects of Sat Kriya will not be as strong

or as precise when using sukasan (easy pose). This is because of the

different angle & movement of the pelvis. One of the actions of Sat

Kriya is to balance the lower three chakras by mixing prana and apana

at the navel center, generating a heat (tapas) and opening the inner

channels to the upward flow of energy. The slightly different angle

of easy pose is still excellent for digestive troubles and

transcending fear, but is not quite as effective for mixing the

chakra energies as is the ideal form.

 

You have probably tried this trick as well, but some people find it

helpful to slip a rolled-up blanket or pillow between their feet to

reduce pressure on the knees, which also reduces the pressure on the

feet.

 

Many blessings,

Sadhant

Dear Larry,

Sat kriya can also be done in lotus pose and on the back in celebate pose.

Sit in celebate pose with the hips on the floor and the legs by the sides of

the hips, then lead back on the floor. Raise the arms up above the heart

center.

 

If your response is "Thanks a lot!" then how about using a meditation stool

like the Buddists use or a computer stool that you sit on your legs bent?

You could get a good angle from these. I sat once on a computer chair that

put me directly into meditation. The angle was just right for me.

Sat Nam,

 

Try folding your arms in a bit by moving at the arm pits in. This might

help.

 

Do what you can and then relax.

 

Sat Nam,

close to my ears. Is this totally necessary to gain the benefits from Sat

Kriya?
