@Mart i do once a day right now but want to increase to two times a day. my routine looks like this: 50 talabya kriya 3 sets of maha mudra 12 KP 1 12 KP 2 the KP i want to increase by one up to 24 each. After that i start with KP 3. @N8N I have the same experice as you. I dont know if it is because you see every shadowside of yourself more now then before. And when people say yoga can be bad if you are not ready i feel scared of proceeding. How do you know if you are ready? And what should i be scared of?

Those who practise kriya yoga, how many times per day do you sit down and practise ?

Why do some people freak out or get scared by doing yoga wrong?

@Viking Listen. Yoga is a practise, you Will not do it properly the first time. But after a few months or years you get the hang of it and it Will become second nature. Two months is way too early to quit i believe. i also have sessions when i half ass yoga but i remind myself to always get better and better and i always keep my faith in that it Will be worth it. Because i belive there is some great golden nugget Hidden in this practise. Eventually Ill find out what i say keep at it for at least 6 months, i have been practising for 3 months now so i understand your consern

@YogiLogan ive Done KP 2 for some months. Should I progress my practice to kp1=12 reps kp2=12 reps kp3=12 reps

When do you know when to go from KP 1 to KP 2 and then to KP 3?

@who chit ive been doing kriya for about two months. As you discribe I feel directly when im pushing the limit, depression and moodswings. My routine is: 50 tounge raises 3x maha mudra 4x talabya kriya 12x KP 1 12x KP 2 3-6x mental kriya duration: 40-55min

What should I expect happen when doing kriya(even regular meditation). Is it some kind of release, bliss, revealing insight or scarsity? Now im expecting to get scared, that i will come to a point and get really scared before I get anything else. I know you should not expect anything to happen. But im just curious to why you cant do to much advanced kriya, for the reason of reavealing to much and that will scare one off if not handled correctly?

As some meantioned earlier when doing the Kriya pranayama 2 things start to get really wierd. Ive nerver felt ”life” this way before, I take it slowly with the KP2, maybe once a week because to me its feel really powerful. You have to treat it with respect. A couple of weeks before Ive was really in a bad and depressed state. That was because of doing the KP2 every day, I let of for two days and felt better.

@phoenix666 @John Iverson Thank you for your kind answers. Yes and the emotions comes pretty rapid actually. Things that I thought I’ve conquered like social anxiety comes back. It’s like “ no you haven’t conquered it, you’ve just suppressed it and forgot all about it” . And now it arises like never before. But this time you have the opportunity to really face it and disolve any issues.

Im Reading alot about the dangers of this practise. Ive been on the daily Kriya practise for 2 months and I feel alot of emotions are coming up, as it should? Or maybe im just doing it wrong and it will damage me eventually? What your opinion?

@giglio I got the same issue, and also, do you do the restriction in the throat as well?

Ive been doing these Kriya practices for a month now and I can feel alot of emotions coming up and ego backlash. I get hit with moments of anxiety, loneliness and depression. can this be considered as a progress in the right direction? And what should I do about it, just ride it out? Will this eventually pass or will I just accept it?

After three weeks into this practise I can feel certain things going on but I cant really describe it yet. But im gently building up these techniques and I got some issues: Ujjayi pranayama I have a really hard time with the inhale while doing ujjayi pranayama, in the Book it says 10-15 sec, but then I have to breave really slow. On the other hand I have problem exhaling fast enough while restricting, ending up blowing the last breath out normally. Also ive read that the sound shouldnt be heard by a person sitting next to me. Asana My bloodcirculation gets cut off on the leg with the foot closest to the perinium. Am I sitting wrong or am i not flexible enough?

Do you do maya mudra on the pillow(if you use one like I do) or do you move to the floor?

Ive noticed on myself that im feeling angry and kinda grumpy about the everyday life that family and friends inc. me are living. Let me start by saying I noticed this first on family gatherings were I didnt anticipated in any conversation because to me it wasnt interestering and I think people around noticed that something was up with me cause i was so quiet. If I were to join a conversation it would just feel false to me, I just have this feeling of sitting in the background and listen to other talk, i dont like coldtalks. I dont have that urge anymore to fill the void of silence that I had before. BUT, the problem is that I notice myself at the same time judging the others for not knowing how deluded they actually are, also making myself above them. I’m being very grumpy and hard, like im the ”know it all”. From the outside I bet it looks like that but on the inside im like ” why am i like this”. I just have this feeling that its useless to talk about everday stuff, this also affects my job. At work I just want people to chill and to not take things so damn serious, because that what most people do. They work like crazy and make it the most important thing, stuff has to be done and we ”have” to reach certain goals. To me its like I dont even care, and that is also my concern. Dont get me wrong, I want to be anticipating in conversations for example or work but it doesnt feel right to me and I dont know why... Im feeling alot of resistance to it. Doesnt matter what work I do or who im talking to, its a resistance not to get involved. Maybe because there is some unresolved issue that I need to take care of but I dont know what. For me im more focusing on my Kriya yoga, actualized.org etc. Thats the most important for me and I want to think and talk about that. But no one would get it. Ive held my Kriya and meditation pratice a secret for my GF for a while because first of all I dont want to talk about it and making it a bit deal, secondly I dont want my GF to think Im wierd. She has seen all my books and she thinks they are really wierd, thats fine with me as long as I can read them. Now she knows about the meditation to and shes fine with that, she just doesnt get what benefits that comes with it. Apart from that I dont talk so much about this topic, i keep it to myself. If someone would to ask I would gladely talk about it but im kinda clumsy with words so maybe it would sound even wierder then it is. Maybe i feel misplaced? Maybe im just angry for people not knowing more about actualization? Maybe Im angry at myself for not opening myself fully to other people? Maybe im scared? Maybe I havent found my life purpose and thats why I dont get involved in work? Thank you for reading this! Be well!

How often per day is it supposed to do Kriya? So far I’ve done once a day, but I would like to do it once or twice a day. Can you do to much Kriya yoga? For example Ive read or heard that if you get headaches from it you should take a rest from it that day. I understand that its not the quantity that matters the quality when practicing.

@herghly I count by placing my thumb on one finger and then count by moving it to the next and so forth.

@Paulus Amadeus Thank you for replying about my GF, its more my fault that she is not involved as much, I dont talk to much about it and I like having it for myself. At least til I know how to really communicate it. She is not against it at all, she herself is not as interested in it as I am. Im fine with that, perhaps she isnt as openminded as me but eventually she might ask more and more about it as im growing.

@pluto thank you Kind words!

Ive noticed an issue I have in my relationship with my GF. We have regular sex and no issues at all, BUT ive noticed that every time she is asking about sex i get really turned off. I get really stiff and anxious and I dont know why, i told her about it but she doesnt buy it. She thinks it is because I dont find her attractive but I really do. Ive contemplated this and I dont know why it got this way, we have been togheter for more than 3 years and it has actually been like this the whole time when I look back. Can it been something about me needing to controle the situation?

@Angelo John Gage Ill talk to her about it. Maybe she reacts different, maybe she gets angry. It can be that she is not in touch with her femininity and herself and instead of seeing the truth she get mad or depressed because of it. No matter what we have to fix this situation.

@Angelo John Gage How did she take it when you talked to her about it?

@Angelo John Gage Yes, it might be so. I will try that. thank you for replying to my topic!

@Privet Yes Ive explained as good as I can. But its hard when I dont even now why I react like that.
