SAT KRIYA CAUSES WEAKNESS

[Guest guest]

I attempt to do SAT KRIYA on a regular basis, but if I exceed 2 mins I feel a

strange sense of absolute weakness which would last for the next 12 hours. I

then feel fine.

 

During SAT KRIYA my body really heats up and I am covered in perspiration by the

time I am finished.

 

Has anybody else experienced a similar feeling?? Is this normal for some??

 

Please advise!

 

Sincerely

Riz

Perhaps Gururattan can comment on potential sources of this

weakness?

 

Riz, it is very important to relax after Sat Kriya, preferably for

twice as long as you practice, and at least as long. Are you doing

this? If not, please add this to your practice and let us know if

you see some improvement.

That is normal.

Dear Riz,

 

> I attempt to do SAT KRIYA on a regular basis, but if I exceed 2 mins I

Adding to Sadhant's suggestions, you can start with doing Sat Kriya for just

one minute. Rest assured that even one minute of Sat Kriya per day will work

wonders. Make sure to relax afterwards, and later you can gradually increase

the time.

 

One potential reason for the weakness is that your navel area needs to be

strenghtened. The navel chakra is the energy center of the body, and through

it you can receive energy but also lose energy if this chakra is weak. When

the child is still in the mother's womb it receives food and energy through

the umbilical cord, which connects to the navel. It is said that after being

born we still continue to receive energy through the navel center. Sat Kriya

generates and releases a lot of energy, but this energy should go up to the

top of the head and not be lost through a weak chakra on the way.

 

So I would recommend doing some exercises to strengthen the navel area.

These include alternate and double leg lifts, and of course the ever-popular

stretch pose ; ). I think you should find it easier then to do Sat Kriya.

 

Many blessings,

Satsang Kaur
