Safety

[Guest guest]

How safe is it to practice Sat Kriya alone? I have only done a little

bit of Tai Chi, and I wanted to try the Sat Kriya because I feel I

need the benefits it offers. I do not have an instructor and have read

up a bit about Kundalini and yoga online. At dawn this morning I had a

powerful experience, I beleive I am becoming more aware of some

emotional issues among other things. Being eager to know more, yet not

wanting to be foolish and turn on something I cannot handle, the

experience in question just happened, it's like energy is moving about

on its own and I really sdon't want my head to explode.

The very concept of Kriya is that it is a "complete action" in itself

and can be practiced alone. That said I always like to loosen up my

spine, stretch my limbs and open up my breath/channels before practicing

any Kriya or meditation. It makes for a deeper practice and is part of

tuning into myself (along with the Adi Mantra - Ong Namo.........).

They are good complements to each other.

You could keep your focus at the tip of your nose and maintain a light

Jallunder Bhand (neck lock with head level and upper chest forward and up ).

Make sure to do a layout afterward (shivasana) for a time equal in

length to your Sat Kriya practice.

It is also good to practice One Minute Breath (20 secs inhale, 20 secs

suspend, 20 secs exhale, thereabouts) for 5 - 11 mins afterward to

integrate the effects of any practice.

 

Your head shouldn't explode if give this the proper time and you do so

with affection.

 

Sat Nam,
