Qualitative difference in state of Awareness from Kriyas vs Inquiry

[Devansh Saharan]

Do you also feel a qualitative difference in state of awareness generated from psychological methods of meditation, whether it be self-inquiry or mindfulness, compared to more physical or energy based practises like Kriyas and Yogasanas?

 

For me it's almost as if the sense of self and sentience is much more present via mental processes, on the other hand with Kriyas while the system is energised and the body awareness increases exponentially, it feels as if the thoughts are suppressed, thus the same level of alertness and a kind of sharpness is absent.

It is so

Look it like this. You may practice kickboxing, then judo and afterwards jiu-jitsu on the ground. After these individuals martial arts you may put them all together and practice MMA, Mixed Martial Arts.

Leo's videos on "State of Consciousness Is Everything" and "The Many Facets Of Awakening" will come handy to get the bigger picture and leave no stone unturned

I feel that self inquiry gives you mental clarity when you are low that you can just bear and thrive with life but kriyas will make you blissfull and other things but you just don't know why.

Self inquiring increases the power of tought in your cognition in my experience.
