Meditation/Yoga Practice

[Zeldor]

I'm currently doing the kriya yoga laid out by Santata Gamana for 30 mins. At the end of the yoga I meditate for as long as I want to, which is only about 5 minutes. So, should I force myself to meditate more, or is that ok?

I personally do 30 min of kriya in the morning and 30 min of meditation at night. Kriya is also like a meditation, it calms the mind and can induce mistical experiences, but for me it’s not like staight meditation. Meditation really teached me how to let go, kriya kind of forces you to focus on the practice, not the same. 

Two moments a day is way better for most people anyway, so that’s what i recommend. But ofcourse you can do whatever the fuck you wanna do!

As SantataGamana stresses again and again, the kriyas are not the important part. The abiding is.

@okulele @Mart Thanks!

I'll try to add another 30 min session of abiding during a separate part of the day.
