Tapa Yog Karam Kriya: Deliver Your Intentions

This kriya is great for developing the ability to do what you intend to do, and for guiding projects to completion. It develops willpower.

Having good intentions is one thing, but often we need to first overcome old habits in order to start new ones, and that requires strong nerves, focus, discipline, and willpower.

The Practice

Posture: Sit in a meditative pose.

Eyes: The eyes are slightly open looking down at the tip of the nose.

Mudra: Bring the palms together and extend the arms straight forward parallel to the ground. Palms face each other. Put the wrists together. Then spread the palms apart as far as you can as though pushing against a wall.

Mantra: Begin rhythmically chanting: Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Sat Nam, Wahe Guru.

Continue for 11 minutes.

This meditation can be found in both The Mind and Sadhana Guidelines.
