In this post, I'll share an iconic Kundalini meditation called Kirtan Kriya.
BENEFITS OF KIRTAN KRIYA
General sense of balance and alignment.
Balances brain hemispheres.
Cleanses aura.
Clears marks in aura from past relationships for women.
Clears subconscious of negative emotions and habits.
Improves intuition.
Strengthens memory.
Clinical research has shown that practicing Kirtan Kriya for just 12 minutes a day can improve cognition and activate parts of the brain that are central to memory as well as helping to prevent the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
MANTRA
The mantra SaTaNaMa is a sound current that represents the rebirth of consciousness, the evolutionary nature of existence and regeneration. We can translate SaTaNaMa to, "The essence of God is within me."
4 SOUNDS
‣Sa: Infinite, cosmos
‣Ta: Life, existence
‣Na: Death, change, transformation
‣Ma: Rebirth
3 LANGUAGES OF CONSCIOUSNESS
‣Human: Speaking/Singing voice
‣Lovers: Whisper
‣Divine: Silence
The music in my video is by Dev Suroop Kaur, "Kirtan Kriya"
MUDRA
Alternating mudras balance electric polarity/energetic pathways. This creates a balance in the projection of the aura.
1st finger + thumb is gyan mudra: knowledge, release of limitation and expansion of possibility
2nd finger + thumb is shuni mudra: wisdom, patience, intelligence
3rd finger + thumb is surya mudra: vitality, energy
4th finger + thumb is buddhi mudra: communication
EYES: 2 options
Eyes closed and focused at 3rd eye.
Visualize each sound coming down through the crown into the pineal gland, through the pituitary and out through the 3rd eye ("L" shape movement).
TIME
The suggested time for this meditation is 12 or 31 minutes. In our ST sadhana we will be practicing for 12 minutes during 40 days. The time breakdown is as follows:
2 min. out loud
2 min. whisper
4 min. silent (continue tongue movement)
2 min. whisper
2 min. out loud
END
Stretch your arms up with fingers separated and spine stretched. Take a few deep breaths, then relax.
RECOMENDATION
It is recommended to cover your head.
