Kundalini Yoga Sat Kriya

Aloha Everyone,

Sat Kriya is a tantric yoga technique. This Kriya seems to be simple but extremely powerful and it is one of my top 3 favorite Kundalini Kriyas.

Benefits of Sat Kriya include:

- Improvement of the the entire sexual system
- Channeling of sex energy upwards to be used for higher functions.
- Makes you courageous by curing deep seated fears.
- Promotes health and well being by massaging the internal organs.
- Improves the elimination system.
- Your personality is balanced and harmonized with the higher self.

Here is an easy to follow steps.

1.  Sit on your heels with your back straight — called rock pose.

2.  Interlace your fingers all but the index fingers

3.  Press your index fingers togethr and point them straight up.

4. Your arms, elbows should be straight up to hug your ears.

5.  Your spine is elongated.

6.  Lengthen your neck and bring your chin very slightly back and in.

7.  Begin chanting the mantra, SAT NAM.

8.  Say the sound SAT loud and powerfully and simultaneously pull your navel up and in and imagine that it is reaching your spine.

9.  Imagine that the SAT sound is hitting the base of the spine.

10.Say the sound NAM softly and simultaneously relax your belly.

11.  For beginners, try 1 minutes then work your way up to 3 then 5 minutes.
Do it at your own pace and your own intensity.

12.  To close SAT KRIYA, take a deep inhalaton and with your breath held in, apply mula banda (root lock, diaphragm lock and neck lock).  Visualize your energy being pulled up the spine and moving up into your brain.  Repeat mula banda three times.
