It's so hard to not fall asleep!

great post.

@Mart Use kriya bow to build up to being able to do kriya supreme fire, santata gamana's secret power of kriya yoga has instructions also I'm no expert but be careful mixing wim hof with kriya, I wouldn't do it. @MM1988 comprehensive instriuctions, basic theory. You might get some results just doing basic practices. Gamana's books are likely gonna make no sense if you have no basic theory. Question time(just started reading gamana today): Stevens says only to do yoni mudra at night, gamana doesn't specify. Is Stevens full of shit on this one? bc I do kriya a half hour after waking up. Gamana says to sit cross legged, I can't(bad knees). Is it okay to do it in a chair straight back no backrest good posture.

how long are you guys able to do it for? I've done it about 15 times and still haven't gotten past 30 minutes. This morning I only got to 20 because I started feeling really nauseous.

when I drink coffee I shit 2 to 4 times over the next few hours and it hurts. Green tea is enough caffeine if I need it (most of the time I go decaf), so I drink that every morning instead since it doesn't fuck up my digestive system and is healthy.

I've done hella research and can't figure this one out either. I've just continued it because research has shown win hof is extremely helpful(which is basically shorter duration and with pauses where you don't breath.

man I haven't read this whole thread but I just gotta say you should be very careful.(and maybe not do it) Take into consideration that whatever you say will be open for interpretation and most people(almost all) will not hear close to what you're trying to say. Look at contemporary culture. Are you trying to teach turquoise to orange?, it won't work. I'm in highschool too (Junior), and I never talk about spirituality, except my friends know I meditate. I am very cautious that people would take it so wrongly, but it might just be some fears I have taking it out of proportion.

maybe lower doses? Why avoid it?

yes sometimes sometimes

literally same but 6 weeks.

i reccomend you start with the one at the top under meditation and yoga techs categorie on his list, get the 2nd edition.

Daniel Ingram raves about this technique in his book

@Shinyes when he uploaded his live enlightenment experience video and then had to explain it

I've done all the lessons before the omkar kriyas, and still can't hear the om sound or see the light, however it can take years for that to happen i think. My results are still tremendous so don't worry about that and move on. skip to kriya pranayama, no need to wait for the good stuff. nothing dangerous about doing a set f kp1

wasn't he going to have a course on creativity come out like 2 years ago? what happened to that. where do I learn about creativity

mastering the core teachings of the buddha addresses this properly, if you're in a crunch to know about it

check out the kriya yoga mega thread for his daily routine he has recently given very high reviews of how powerful kriya yoga is, so I think it's safe to assume things are going well.

thanks. read over info from the Stevens book and yea he said it takes years before you're ready for omkar and above. Stevens routines are weird, his suggested nightly routine is just maha mudra, short breath kriya, and yoni mudra. no pranayama but ig all those are like it just checked the book list and found that secret power of kriya yoga is by Gamana lmao didn't realize that. Ordering that and others by him

I heard pineapple is where things get crazy

sense of humor is crucial

oh I have another good question @Leo Gura or others do you not do the nightly routine? Stevens makes it seem necessary but I would really rather not do it. Is it not necessary/ what role does it play? anyways answers to my questions would be appreciated, or resources for answers. Edit: also thoughts on the omkar & thokar kriyas, are they worth learning?

@Serotoninluv just try to do what Leo is describing, but it's okay if you can't do it all. As time goes on and your practice improves KP will be extremely easy and it will feel like it is doing you I felt like sharing that I'm around 4 months into my routine, lesson 18 of Stevens book, and really starting to feel it, I've been doing KP3 for about a week and Stevens is right that it is much more potent than KP1 & KP2. I can feel warm buzzing energy in my head and spine when doing the breathing, and the mind is much more still. @Leo Gura In regards to your simplified routine, what do you think about Steven's idea of things like Navi Kriya or say talabya helping through energy blockages. and where do you learn Kriya supreme fire. I don't think it is in stevens book unless it's under another name. Gamana's book? Secret power of kriya yoga book?

Do you mean together somehow or both as a practice. I'm doing both as a practice daily, @ the first two posts in this topic, 45 min Kriya yoga feels much more powerful than 80 min SDS, both of which im doing

according to Wilber, all stages need to be gone through. Yellow is not just yellow, it is yellow on top of all 6 lower stages. In the future, children will be brought up to higher and higher stages, so that it seems like the world doesn't include lower stages

Ramaji talks about this in the book Who Am I meditation, which is about self inquiry. I think he even has a book on just this alone. Very powerful stuff. It is because there is no self in deep sleep, according to Ramaji.
