Tonight at 7pm we're going to explore the relaxing, nerve regenerating and mind expanding meditation, Shabd Kriya. It's a wonderful way to experience the beauty and magic of Kundalini Yoga and also to learn how to get a good night's sleep! If you ever want to put things in perfect balance, feel calm and contained and at peace...this is the meditation for you. Join me tonight as we do some gentle yoga and then meditate using the beautiful Shabd Kriya.
What It Will Do for You
The best time to practice this kriya is every night before bed. If it is practiced regularly your sleep will be deep and relaxed and the nerves will regenerate. After a few months, the rhythm of your breath as you sleep will be subconsciously regulated in the same rhythm! You will think better, work better, share better, love better, and fight better. This rhythmic mantra will eventually progress so that even in daily activities you will automatically hear the mantra and take on the breath rhythm.
Mystically the effect is understood in numerology. The number 11 is the number of infinity in the world of material and the conqueror of the physical realm.The number 22 is the infinite number of longing and mastery of the mental realm. The breath is regulated in 22 beats and gives the mind the power to stretch to the infinite.
There cannot be enough praise of this meditation and its growth promoting effect on the personality. It gives radiance and the radiance gives patience which is the first condition of real Love. In Love you give without attention to all the mistakes of another as the sun gives light and warmth to all people. The incorporation of this practical universality in the personality comes with the disciplined practice of Shabd Kriya.
