Kriya: Meditation on the Self

A guided and projected imagination is a fundamental power and a gift of mankind. In this simple series, you raise the kundalini energy enough to purify and calm the mind. Then you direct the mind in meditation to become aware of your identity and how you have guided it. You use the mind for self-observation, not just fantasy. Besides being excellent training for the mind, this kriya helps improve poor digestion and channels over-abundant sexual energy.

The mind is given to you to use in self-expansion. But you do not channel it or capture it; it runs wild on old thought patterns and habits. If you cannot have the mind when you need it, it is useless. The function of mind is not just to spew out random thoughts! It is to fashion etheric elements into forms of energy that manifest through the earthly elements.

This is one of the beauties of Kundalini Yoga: instead of dealing with thoughts only with other thoughts, it uses exercises that automatically bring the mind into a more agreeable state. This saves years of time in meditation. The body is your finite identity. The mind is a bridge to your infinite identity which is even beyond the soul. But the mind alone has a difficult time because it lacks the clarity of identity given by the body. When you manipulate the body identity by exercises, then a clear message of guidance is given to the mind.

It is not the mind that runs the body. It is actually you. The mind is another part of you. Using these two to communicate with and integrate your many parts is the science of kriya and a foundation of Kundalini Yoga.

Meditation to Connect with the Self Sensory System

"Technically speaking, we do not trust the largeness of God. We limit our capacity this way. You do not relate to the soul of the person, you only relate to the physical, and that physical is very deceptive. That's why our relationships are very limited. There is no betrayal possible for a sensory person. When a sensory person checks his senses and projects from the sensory system, he and she can understand where they are going. It's one of the most authentic systems.

Sensory man is a positive man. Wherever he lives, he has everything positive around him. His relationships are smooth. He flows with the will of God. He floats.

We have a meditation for it. Now you are going to become people of the Aquarian Age.” -Yogi Bhajan
