This meditation has the capacity to cleanse the mind and make it as clear as a crystal.

This meditation can bring tranquility to the mind in a very short time. The hand position is called “the mudra which pleases the mind.” Supposedly, Buddha gave it to his disciples for control of the mind.

This kriya is meant to balance the brain chemistry to address tiredness and confusion, which can get in the way of clear, honest communication.

This kriya is based on Jaap Sahib, a prayer by Guru Gobind Singh, who was the 10th Sikh Guru. It brings sensitivity, creativity, and intuition, and has the capacity to take you beyond the pains of life.

In this kriya, you breathe exclusively through the left nostril, which calms the nervous system, supports the heart, and begins to move you from a mindset of reactivity to positivity.

This kriya, when practiced regularly, promotes deep, relaxed sleep and helps the nerves to regenerate. The best time to practice is every night before bed, but it can be practiced any time of the day.

With regular practice, this kriya will help bring the glandular system and the psyche into equilibrium, so that the system is regulated by the full self, and not just our fragmented neuroses.

This little technique helps you find answers under abnormal, stressful conditions; it’s especially helpful when nothing makes sense. Take your fingers for a stroll and find your path forward.

This is a powerful transformative meditation which is said to invoke the Kundalini energy to give you the necessary vitality and intuition to combat the negative effects of the subconscious mind.

This meditation makes a good introduction to Kundalini Yoga, and will open the mind to a new experience. For more experienced practitioners, it can also help you to feel calm, relaxed, and mellow, and is also a good way to clear off the effects of a hurried day before beginning another deep meditation.
