Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Sat Nam, Marz Pan (What a sweet name!) Anyway, there is no specific breath given for Kirtan Kriya, it just kind of happens as you do it. You could, I suppose, do any breath rhythm you like with the caveat that you are not interfering in any way with or distracting your concentration from the mantra, the mudra and the movement. These are primary and critical to the effect and success of the kriya. Have fun! Message: 5 Mon, 01 Mar 2004 16:33:19 -0500 "Marz Pan" <marzipan93 cold eyes effect Hellos to all. I'm new to the group, been watching from the shadows. I'm pretty exprienced in pranayama and other such practices. I have been working with the Kritin Kriya (ms?).. the Sa Ta Na Ma technique. I have noticed a very peculiar effect of this practice. After I am finished, and up doing my daily thing, I notice a cold sensation in my eyes/eyelids. It feels like there is a gentle breeze blowing right on my eyes. It is a refreshing feeling, very pleasant. Does anyone else experience this? Also, I was curious if fellow practitioners do pranayama whilst working the fingers. I am trained to do pranayama with most any other practice, and I find that the these two go very well together. Each sound is about one second, so I use the chanting in place of counting the breath (I do a 20s inhale, 20s exhale and 10s hold). After several breaths, the breathing becomes automatic and I can really focus on the finger/mental work. Of course, doing the practice in the way makes it impossible to chant the sounds audibly, thus I can only chant internally. I have not attempted the practice in the method described in the teachings (the 31 minute method), and I was wondering if there really is any reason to stick to these time increments. And is there any effect from doing the Normal voice/whisper/silent sequence? Things seem to be working in the method I am applying, with my pranayama. Good to be among brothers and sisters of the serpent!
