| | A Complete Kriya Yoga
practice consists of all eight stages!
Path
of Action - actions
are things we can and must do to initiate our process. Develop a practice that
consists of:
-
Skillful use of thought
-
Energy or Prana follows mind; how we think is what we become. By
controlling our thoughts we control our reality. Kriya Yoga begins with the
engagement of intelligence in our decision making process. Purity is not
just adherence to the value system, but it is the ability to think, feel,
say and do one in the same thing-- Concentration.
-
Skillful use of breath
- Correcting bad habits in the
mechanics of the breathing process by employment of the three-part breath.
Understanding of the relationship between how we breathe and how we think.
Through the control of the breath we can control the thought process.
-
Skillful use of water
- Drink enough pure fresh water to
keep the physical body hydrated. Eliminate all substances that produce
cravings and disturbances in the mind body complex. Substances like
caffeine, alcohol, simple carbohydrates are disruptive.
-
Skillful use of food
- Eat whole foods that get their
nourishment from the sun. Combine foods in a way that assists your digestive
process. Eliminate all substances that produce cravings and disturbances to
your mind/body complex, such as caffeine, nicotine, alcohol and refined
sugars.
-
Skillful use of exercise
- a program that accommodates the four components of fitness strength,
flexibility, balance and endurance. The shape, composition, condition and
alignment of the physical body are important factors in the process. The
frequencies we generate determine the vibrations to which we are receptive.
