Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 What are Kriyas? Most of the definitions that you will find describing Kriyas are incorrect. The one thing that is correct is that a Kriya is a bodily movement. It has been described as occurring to long-time meditators as a kind of yoga-like spontaneous movement. It is spontaneous because it is involuntary, meaning one doesn't will the body to move. The central nervous system allows you to move muscles in your body voluntarily, yet Kriya movements happen to areas of the body that are under voluntary control but happen without You willing them to move. This aspect makes it difficult to detect authentic Kriya movements in people, because they could just be pretending having heard about the phenomena and wanting to be something special. What isn't known is that our growth in awareness or in transforming our personality composes 3 steps composing the different aspects of our personality - of who we are. These main parts are mental, emotional and physical components, which together form our manifested physical aspect of our underlying spirituality. Another way to say it is that who we are as a manifestation is our realization. When one is working towards awareness, Kriyas can happen anytime and result because one has surrendered the little mind voice that keeps one in a bubble, using up all one's free energy. This surrender or period of getting quiet can happen in many different ways. It might happen during meditation practice, while viewing beautiful artwork, while taking a walk in nature, while listening to music or when something dreadful happens. No matter how it happens, what happens in the body is the same. When the voice gets quiet, energy in the system is released and then used by the system to realize a change so that the person will exist then as higher in awareness. It's always about getting more energy and dissolving the static personality and becoming lighter and freer flowing. To this end when there is surrender, the central nervous system uses this free energy to make changes in the central nervous system, increasing capability in various ways. This makes that surrender results in long-lasting changes to the body. This is what is meant by realization. Because the kernel of awareness inside the body of the personality, always wants more energy, then any block in the body, which is draining energy, will be a high priority for use of the free energy. Even in the mental and emotional stages of awareness, when the body is being changed then Kriyas sometimes result. The longer one goes on the path of surrender and growing awareness, then the more frequent and pronounced the Kriyas become. It's not about removing 'a block' it's about removing all blocks. The first steps one must pass through are the mental steps; the next ones are the emotional. After the emotional steps are passed, then there is a tremendous surge in free available energy, because the personality is easily set-aside after this, rarely getting lost in emotional swings or erratic behavior. From this big boost in energy, the physical stage is set and full kundalini activation is triggered soon after. the first parts of this stage is an intensive period of changes to the nervous system, part by part, all over the body. After this, this stage is very active and kriyas are the main symptom of it simply because of how the changes have to be made. Muscles are the main workhorses of the body and the central nervous system can control them via nerves from the brain to the body. To say it briefly, the personality in the body lays down an individualized cord of energy, which is off center, and static, it does not go down the lines in the spine. Rather this cord results from the habitual ways of the personality and how the person responds to and moves through life. The kriyas serve to stretch and exercise all the parts of the Central nervous system, going over and over this cord of energy of the personality, freeing everything attached to the spine, skull and sacrum with the purpose to free the skeletal parts essential to the CNS. With each pass over the cord through the body, which includes joints and limbs, the free energy rises and the personality is reduced. This is a growing process, all freed energy is again used to make nervous system changes behind the stretched out areas, all the time gaining more energy. The breaking down of the personality in the body is the source of energy used to make the new entity. This process will continue until the cord of energy has been freed from all bones in the skeleton and skull and sacrum and is brought back to center. When the energy is brought back to center then a new life will be born. Betsy Imho... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Thanks alot Betsy, that was very informative and interesting to read. I can't imagine having Kriyas for ten hours a day, that must have been something else. I am still yet to experience this depth of Kundalini but I am grateful for all information shared on this topic, one of the more interesting aspects in my mind (I love yoga and excercise). Blessings and thanks again Elektra x x x Mail is the world's favourite email. Don't settle for less, sign up for your freeaccount today.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Betsy why do you think most of the information on kriyas is incorrect? Or how did you find it to be incorrect? I ask as I go through what I think to be kriyas a lot. Lets say if it were only 10 hours a day it would be a calm day. It is now a way of life and I am now just learning of what has been going on for these past years. In reading that link and also in what you have said I find truth so maybe you can direct me to more enlightenment of the knowledge I seek.

In reading that link and also in what you have said I find truth so maybe you can direct me to more enlightenment of the knowledge I seek. ------------- Ben, I am not intending to brag when I write, I have been through approximately 4,000 hours of kriyas - spontaneous yoga-like movements, which I never intended mentally to do. I am stating my experience, I can't help it how others take that. When I am in the kriya-state it is resulting because I've surrendered my will, as soon I as surrender then the kriyas take over. This leaves me with plenty of time for observation - it is a state of bodily meditation. So the article I wrote comes out of my experience and for me it doesn't agree at all with what I've read as definitions of kriyas. So much informatoin in soceity gets passed around and copied and hardly ever questioned because it seemingly comes from authorities -- if we don't know then we presume it true until we find out otherwise. Nothing wrong with it. So who has written the definitions of what kriyas are that is floating all over the Internet? Is it from someone with many hours of experience, or from some persona having observed just a few hours of this phenomena? For me it simply isn't true because experience shows me otherwise. Is it too much to say I might be considered an authority on the subject of kriyas simply because I've been through so many hours of them? My only desire is to give a correct information so that those who are interested might be helped by it. Humbly, Betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Ben, I am not intending to brag when I write, I have been through > approximately 4,000 hours of kriyas - spontaneous yoga-like movements, > which I never intended mentally to do. > Humbly, > Betsy Betsy on the information I whole-heartedly agree, but as you see I question; everything. What intrigued me was a statement that you made " When one is working towards awareness, Kriyas can happen anytime and result because one has surrendered the little mind voice that keeps one in a bubble, using up all one's free energy. This surrender or period of getting quiet can happen in many different ways. " It was so fascinating because on another forum under a topic of `Surrender' I made a post that resembled what you had said. It was over a week ago. 4M hours of kriyas, that's impressive and if I were to say how long I have lived with it that would be bragging, if I were to count only the waking hours it would be more than 50 times the hours you have spent. It will change at some point for you I would think as it did for me, that changing point with me was when I began to understand what the will was. For many years while going through this I really didn't have the understanding and only very recently have I sought information about these things. What information I have found only confirms what I have already learned but at times it does give me new avenues of reasoning. Not that I know everything but what I have searched for, I have found others that have experienced similar situations. It's like knowing that you're not alone in this world. There is something that I question: you say there are stages, no problem there but you put them in a specific order. What happens if that order occurs differently in another person? Could their perceptions and knowledge of kriyas be different? Then you say, " The breaking down of the personality in the body is the source of energy used to make the new entity. " Would you explain the breaking down of personality to me? Sorry, so many questions and so little time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ben: Betsy on the information I whole-heartedly agree, but as you see I question; everything. Hi Ben. I think it's good you do so. To the last post I was going to add something similar. That my definition of kriyas is only my current best guess, and so should we see all definitions and knowledge the same way and stay open then to receiving new information about all kinds of things. The human dilemma still is that we are not very open to receiving information that doesn't fit our current world-view. Many are still pretty much with the same attitude as the days of Galileo. Ben: There is something that I question: you say there are stages, no problem there but you put them in a specific order. As an example I will try to describe where I am today. The sacrum sutures are loosened. Many nervous system changes and bones have been loosened over the repeated hours of stretching I have made over these last months. All the sutures and cranial bones are loosened after much popping, stretching, meaning they are starting to articulate in the kriyas. There is simultaneous movement of all the cranial bones in glide like fashion, stretching and pulling and moving all the bones around in the face. These stretchy-pully bone movements in the skull are combined with the muscles attached to the shoulders, neck, hyoid bone etc. The sphenoid bone inside the skull is making squishy noises as all the bones move. (Later the Central nervous system will control the whole body through the sphenoid articulation) The jaws open wide and it feels like rubbery elastic bands pulling them apart and I feel the top teeth (maxillae) move as a whole, gliding left or right or stretching way up. The frontal bone shifts sometimes with a big thud. The mandible's on both sides, go out of their tmj sockets and stretch down and go under. Many stretchy paths are being made in many directions through the tissues, say from left shoulder to right tmj, and vice versa. A figure 8 forms across the backs of the shoulders. Any bones out of perfect alignment are being placed in the correct position - slowly. I know now that this process is what is taking the personality out of the body, the physical aspects of personality - the last stage. Each stretch removes more tension in the frame, releasing it, and then the free energy is used to make more nervous system changes. I thought I had high body vibration 12 months ago. Each day it gets stronger. How can a light body be any different? Awareness will work to get all free energy. Ben: What happens if that order occurs differently in another person? Could their perceptions and knowledge of kriyas be different? I clarify that I am only talking about the physical stage of awakening (after the others) when I use k. process. I am talking about a latent growing process that is totally physical. Individual perception of the growing process can be different, but the perceptions will describe the same thing. A fetus undergoes certain growing stages; this is the kind of process I'm talking about. Growing. As far as I know all fetuses go through the same growing stages in the same order. Ben: Then you say, " The breaking down of the personality in the body is the source of energy used to make the new entity. " Would you explain the breaking down of personality to me? Betsy: difficult to do but I try. When you surrender the talking one then this frees energy, this freed energy is used to make a physical change in your body. In the early stages of growing awareness, this is not very perceptible, yet you will notice it as changing perception and heightened awareness. This is due to changes in your nervous system and senses. As the amount of time you have surrendered 'successfully' increases, then eventually the cumulative amount of free energy in your body (your vibration continually rises) has enough as a whole to act as a catalyst to trigger full kundalini activation, in which the active growing phase starts with the kriyas. The personality is the mind, emotions and body, all existing as your physical body. Surrendering your identity gradually dissolves the personality as I described in the transformation process above. You never lose anything, all is change, all is transformation, like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Betsy you asked, “How can a light body be any different?†different from what? I have more to say but I have little time this night so I’ll save it for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
