Sat Kriya

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

 

I am sure that there are many other people on this list more qualified

to answer a question about Sat Kriya than I am. However, I looked in

Kundalini.org and did not find a description so I will attempt to do it

justice. Sat Kriya is one of Kundalini Yoga's "greatest hits" -- it's a

very powerful and widely popular way of raising kundalini in a fairly

straightforward way.

Directions: Sit in rock pose (on your heels) and raise your arms

directly overhead, pressing against your ears, while you look straight

ahead, eyes closed. Interlace all fingers but the index, which is

pointed up in a steeple. Vocalize "Sat!" from deep in your navel center

while you pull your navel center and lower triangle firmly up. Then

vocalize "Nam" from your third eye while you relax the pull from the

navel center. Continue for at least 2 minutes. I am up to 11, which is

fine, but I know of people who practice Sat Kriya for 62 minutes a day.

Sat Nam!

After finishing the active part of the kriya, you must relax for at

least as long as you practiced. Everybody is very clear on this, so

don't blow this part off! It helps people integrate the effects of the

active portion of the kriya.

Sat Kriya helps develop navel energy, helps aid digestion, and helps

raise kundalini -- you can feel it move if you do it carefully and

enthusiastically. You don't have to chant loudly to get good results.

 

I love it, and find that it helps me with further meditation. Good luck

with it.

Sat Nam Awtar Singh,

 

Yes, that's right. You can also read about Sat Kriya in

http://www.kundalini-matashakti.com/radiant.html and go to

Basic Kundalini Yoga Breathing (or)

Another very powerful way to practice Sat Kriya is to have the arms nearly hug

the ears, so that when you make the sound Sat and Nam the sound reverberates and

vibrates back into the ears and cranium. After a while the flow of ojas through

the body, brain and above will become so profound and electromagnetically

engaged that it will become difficult to stop the mantra and pulling of locks.

it will become difficult to disengage yourself from the flow, which will become

quite automatic and very powerful, upward streaming.

 

In this practice, you might start with exhaling Nam so that you hear the

vibration in your head, then part way through continue the sound Sat, with a

strong resistance with the tongue on the "ssss..." sound while you are pulling

in the area of the navel and below, as the root lock will pull up forcefully

when you release the "ssss..." into "at" completing the sound "Sat"

 

With the root lock, you should also feel the whole compression of the muscles

and ligaments along the lower spine squeezing the energy flow upward. The arms

(palms together) and shoulders should also stretch up and slightly back as you

complete the sound "Sat"

 

Then, as the air is entirely squeezed out with the completion of the sound

"Sat," you simply relax the abdomen and chest cavity area and, blocking the air

from coming in the mouth by pressing the tongue lightly to the pallet) let the

air steam in through the nostrils, which in turn gives the effect of feeling as

though the whole crown of the head is releasing and opening upwards.

 

In order to keep the spine straight, with shoulders pressing back, you may

notice that you need to have a slight arch in the lower spine, which straightens

with the sound "Sat" and leans slightly back with the sound "Nam" so that the

spine goes through a continuous cycle of being squeezed and stretched upwards

with the sound "Sat," then relaxed and vibrated with the sound "Nam."

 

Again, in this version of Sat Kriya, the release of air inward through the

nostrils after the sound "Sat."

 

Sat Kriya works very well after a series of Kundalini Yoga exercises that

develop electricity and voltage throughout the body, of which there are many

such sets. In order to sustain the voltage, which becomes Ojas, the effect of

Sat Kriya is to release the seminal fluids into the blood stream, which fluids

then store and support the sustaining of voltage throughout the body and

progressively into all the centers until the Whole Body fills with Light, and

the mind turns inward to reflect the Self in the Spiritual Heart, and becomes

consumed by It.

 

We also have a simram of Whaheguru by Dya Singh, about 31 minutes, which we add

to the mix sometimes, where, with the sound "Sat" we hear, as well the sound

"whahe" and with the sound "Nam" we hear the sound "Guru" the overall effect

becomes very powerful, a bit like the effect of trying to do "Long Ek Ong Kar"

while driving one's car on the highway. (Not recommended) as the

electromagnetic force-field that builds up in the body becomes very powerful.

You experience awareness of the sub-conscious energies while awake.

 

With time, this becomes normal, and the whole body/mind system opens to the

experience yogi's call jagrat-sushupti, but it takes a while for the nervous

system to adapt to these voltages in the waking state.

 

Sat Siri Akal.

RE: Two Questions about KY

 

Dear Peat:

 

I'll start with the Sat Kriya. It is confusing with the different description

available. I asked that very question of Gurucharan Singh, director of KRI

(Kundalini Research Institute) last month. Here's his answer: "Sat air out, air

"sneaks"/YB in as Nam, ie smoothly without interrupting rhythm, but amount is

very small and continmous."

 

In other words: exhale "Sat" while bringing the navel point in toward the spine

(the navel point is 3 finger width below the navel). Inhale by sneaking the air

in as you say "Nam".

 

Blessings,

Sat Nam,

my understanding with Sat Kriya is that we ideally

want to rest twice as long as we practiced it,or....at

least a "minimal" as long as we practiced it...

Sat Kriya is a complete kriya in & of itself, it is

very powerful & one should build up the time with it

gradually in order to prepare the nervous system.

hope this helps (:

The function of the Aquarian Meditation (the three kriyas together) is

that they form a kriya or meditation. Pausing too long between the

parts will blunt the effect. Rest, but progress as well.

ahhhh, didn't even think of them as being put together

as "one kriya", all I saw was the question being asked

about "Sat Kriya"

I appreciate the clarification (:
