Sat Kriya claification

December 12, 2004

Dear Chris,

What do you mean by pulling locks at the end of Sat Kriya?

In Sat Kriya, as you make the sound "ssssss.." you're creating a pressure by

pulling in the navel and diaphragm, while restricting the air from going out due

to the pressure of the tongue against the upper palate with only the sound

"ssss.." escaping. Then as you shift from "ssssss.." to "at" as in

"Ssssss...at" the anus and sex organ also comes up with a force, producing the

root lock and diaphragm lock. At the same time, as the arms are straight up

with the palms together (or alternately in Venus lock with the index fingers

together pointed up), with the shoulders back and chin in slightly, you are

producing the neck lock. As you say "Ssssss..at" and come to the "..at" part,

you are effectively pulling all the locks, squeezing the spine and compressing

the air from the lungs, as part of the process.

When you relax this, air sips back into the lungs through the nostrils, and then

you say "Nam" with the body relaxed (arms still straight up), and repeat the

action of the locks with the sound "Ssssss..at"

The whole process is very rhythmical. During the "Sat" phase, you are squeezing

the energy along and through the spine, aided by the locks, especially at the

end of the "..at" portion, so that the energy activates in the Kandal to

electrically stimulate the base chakra to release its chemical electric life

force through the spine. Because of the repeated compression and relaxing along

the spine, the spinal nerves and muscles and ligaments are stimulated and return

to vitality, as vitality that extends to the nerves related to the chakras. The

energy comes through the 4th and 3rd ventricles of the brain, stimulating the

pineal gland, which protrudes in the 3rd ventricle. The effect is to see the

energy flowing through the spine to the throat, then a passage to the crown and

out through the crown and 10th gate. You may also see the energy flowing to the

ajna and from there to the crown and out.

It is particularly useful to do Sat Kriya in this version or the whisper version

(where the sound "Nam" is made on the inhalation), after a powerful set of

postures, movements together with powerful breathing techniques, such as Breath

of Fire (done correctly), or powerful expansion and contraction of the lungs

while in a kriya with motion, or a prolonged period of long deep breathing with

postures or mudras. This is because the postures and movements combined with

breathing generate an electricity and voltage in the body. The voltage is

sustained by the secretion of the glands, in particular the sex glands. While

proper waiting after the active part of the kriya during the passive part will

trigger the glands to secrete, so that you can feel the sensation of the

electric charge expanding, then deepening, then penetrating from the areas the

kriya put under pressure circulating to the whole body, Sat Kriya will cause the

glands to directly secrete, which will aid in the sustaining and deepening of

the voltage throughout the body even more, resulting in a pervasive feeling of

radiance, and seeing in and around the body with the mind's eye, which is to say

to as though you are seeing that which appears within a sphere within the three

dimensional screen of the all-pervasive Consciousness in and around the body

(part of what is meant by becoming what Yogi Bhajan calls a Sensory Human). As

the nerves (nadis) carry greater voltage, they radiate incandescently revealing

in and around the body the screen of consciousness that illumines us. This means

that through these practices and kriyas we become aware of our true nature,

until eventually, we realize that who we are is the screen and that this

self-illuminated screen is unconditioned by time or space, uncaused, always

realized, and our True Identity. This awakening of our awareness is felt

inwardly with the soundless acknowledgement that "I am the Truth." - which is

ultimately the exoteric meaning we experience as Sat Nam.

All this to say that your question about pulling the root lock or all the locks

at the end of Sat Kriya is like saying, after drinking 108 cups of water is it

ok to drink another, because during Sat Kriya, you use all the locks to their

maximum effect.

You can find more about the practice and breathing by going to

Kundalini Yoga Sadhana - Radiant Road to Reality

http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/radiant.html

After some time, as the voltage increases, you will begin to have an

electromagnetic sensation in the kandal area (between the navel and 4th

vertebra) of the root lock coming up and locking. The whole mind will open and

you will feel like someone on top of a mountain peak with utter clarity of

vision integrated with a world in which you feel at total ease, completely

without fear. Well, like we remember Yogi Bhajan.

Sat Kriya ?

Which is better to do 11mins before pulling mulabanda and neck lock or to break

up time into 3min. rounds pulling locks alternating with 3mins resting until I

reach 11mins -ie- 3 rounds + 2min round = 11mins.

Dear Chris,

Either way. When you finish a round or at the end, simply lean forward, put

your forhead on the ground and stretch your arms forward for 5 to 10 minutes.

You can also start with spinal flexes for 5 minutes, then alternat shoulder

raising for 5 minutes, then Sat Kriya for 5 minutes and then, as described above

5 to 10 minutes in pranam pose.

Re: Sat Kriya claification

Dear Pieter,

Thank you kindly for your in depth explanation of this beautiful kriya. I will

continue in my practice and one day I hope to discover my true identity, maybe

it be sooner than later. My question still remains should I do increments of

5mins and lay out 5mins, working up to 31mins or should I do 15mins without

stopping.

-Chris
