You have given hope to all those who GAVE up hope wanting to practice Kriya yoga but unable to get a teacher or initiation. Your instructions very clear precise and simple to understand. May GOD bless you SIR!
Your being disrespectful to the lineage of kriya yoga and it's gurus that lived their lives through selfless action come on man gurus are nessesary because people could waste their entire life doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason.
I have been on a spiritual path for the last 20 years and after a long and often frustrating journey became determined to learn Kriya yoga. I quickly discovered however that finding information on the actual techniques was not easy. As an answer to my prayer I suppose, I found this channel and listened to several of your videos and immediately knew you were exactly what I was looking for. I bought your book Continuing the Lineage and The Eternal Way by Mr. Davis. You have helped me immeasurably and I just wanted you to know how truly grateful I am.
Ryan, As a fallen away 65 year old SRF-er, also somewhat cynical -- I "out-of-the-blue" did a TH-cam search for Kriya yoga last October 2018, and finding your videos and your honest demeanor has reignited my meditation practice and lifted my seriousness to a new high. I have had Roy Davis' books at my bedside table and have found your video discussions with him also very inspirational. I honor his passing by messaging you about the help that your involvement in the lineage has provided me.
My experience is very similar Patrick! I was an SRF student around 1980. I left SRF and explored different paths, eventually landing in Shin Buddhism (which I still practice). I found this very video which introduced me to Roy Eugene Davis. I loved his books and a very Buddhistic and practical approach. I wrote to him and he sent my a DVD to consider as my initiation into Kriya, although in a very real way, this TH-cam video by Ryan was my Kriya initiation and changed my life! Since Mr Davis's passing Ryan is my primary source for Kriya information and inspiration. I highly recommend Ryan's books as well.
Same here, Patrick. 69 and found Ryan several months ago. Refreshing, honest, knowledgeable, authentic teacher who inspires me to resume the practices. Also appreciated a newer more relaxed, flexible, intuitive, creative addition to the practices and lifestyle rather than a rigid by-the-book dogmatic one.
Thank you! Seeing those words visually, made me understand what I miss if I don't take this practice seriously! As have been said, all tools, you do the work as Creator your own unique way🙏🏻💯💜
Thank you for this instruction on kriya yoga techniques. I just read Yogananda's autobiography and became intrigued about kriya yoga. I appreciate it when clear instructions are given and you did this very well, Ryan. I look forward to incorporating this into my life and trying to achieve a heightened awareness. The autobiography was amazing. I love how the masters and gurus (like Babaji) were appearing all over the place following their deaths. I thought only Jesus had done this.
And the fact that they can dematerialize and rematerialize at will at any number of locations through time is quite remarkable to those of us who know nothing about it.
Namaste. I am deeply grateful for your videos. They are very clear and come from a very pure source, I think many more people would practice Kriya Yoga if it was more accessible, but the teachings seem to be quite obscure, preventing one from fully embracing this path. This is unfortunate because I feel it is ideal for many westerners as it is so systematic and straightforward. I thank you for your seva, for making these sacred techniques more accessible to the sincere seeker.
Thank you! We indeed don't need to travel far to get the spiritual practice. Some say, the place you live in is the best place for you to rise you consciousness. Your Soul with Higher Beings have choosen this place in very deliberate way. Even if there are obstacles these are the divine steps for the consciousness and for cleansing the Soul.
Excellent. Yes. Keep it simple. I do plan on doing some extended meditation sequences in a few weeks. One will be a short 30 minute sequence using the above mentioned techniques. The other will be longer guided meditation for those interested in going deeper into the practice.
You are a great Guru. You are clearly explaining the techniques for a beginner. I am sure a lot of practice is required to even get to basic breathing and visualization. I feel a guru like you would be necessary to get the process correct. If we get something wrong, it becomes a regular part of our practice. Thank you for sharing this video.🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much ! I m beyond grateful for the teaching you shared ! It helped me a lot and I will try my best to pay you back through my dedication and also sending divine blessings ! Thanks again 🙏
Thanks very much for sharing these "private techniques" from SRF. I did their at home lessons but did not get initiation into kriya yoga because they wanted a contract to only follow their methods where I prefer to take nuggets from multiple sources. Great and simple explanation.
For about the last 10 months I have been using the HeadSpace guided meditation app. It has helped me calm & quiet my mind - find peace and happiness. But I am beginning to out grow that app - as I’ve grown, the spoken guidance is becoming a distraction rather than the necessary aid it was in the beginning. Now I play quiet meditation back ground music - or nothing - but use the Insight Timer app to time/end my meditation. I greatly enjoyed this helpful video - I feel that I’ve gotten to a place where I can begin learning & practicing Kriya Yoga Meditation. Thank you Ryan 🙏
extremely helpful...i have not been able to find anyone in cincinnati to initiate me so this is as close as it gets! I have been practicing many different meditations, yogas, and mantra chanting since 2015 so...this is the spark i need!
@@MichaelGaytan-p4f incidentally, I have travelled the country and came to see things that dispelled a lot of my need or desire for someone else to initiate me.
Namaskaram 🙏🏽thank you for offering these techniques. I am a certified yoga instructor and i would like to add that the root, navel, and throat locks are Bandhas. The throat is more of a pulling back and tucking the chin slightly as if you’re holding a marble between the chin and throat. Also the breathing that you speak of is ujjayi breathing through the nostrils
At 8:05 when pulling the current up, do you need to visualize each chakra (point) individually as the sensation rises up, or do you simply visualize the spine (channel) as a whole?
How I Practice Kriya Pranayama Steps of Kriya Pranayama: 1. Sit comfortably in a seated position, ensuring your spine is straight, shoulders are back and dropped away from the neck, and your neck is slightly tilted downward. 2. Gently look upward toward the third eye. 3. Constrict your throat to narrow the airflow, then inhale through your nose while visualizing and sensualizing a cool liquid ascending within your spine all the way to the crown chakra. 4. Exhale through your mouth, making an “EEEE” sound, while visualizing and sensualizing a warm/hot liquid descending back down within your spine. PS: You do not visualize the spine at all-not any part of it, not even the inside of it. Your focus is solely on visualizing and sensualizing the liquid as it moves within the spine. My Journey with Kriya Pranayama In the past, my kundalini awakening went terribly wrong, and I was taken into the depths of hell. Over time, I began meditating, and that helped a ton. I than discovered Kriya Pranayama and learned that it’s considered THE meditation for kundalini. Also In my opinion, that is absolutely true. When I began practicing Kriya Pranayama, I found it helped me tremendously. Unfortunately, I had to stop for certain reasons, but I’m actively working on resolving those issues now. There’s nothing I want more than to return to this practice, as it brought immense relief and progress. I’ve noticed that no matter how many rounds I do-whether it’s just one or ten-the practice is highly beneficial. Of course, the more rounds I do, the better the results. My Questions 1. Can I practice this technique whenever I want, and can I vary the number of reps? For example, could I do five reps in one session, two reps later in the day, and ten reps at night? 2. Can I do multiple sessions in a day? For example: • On some days, I might do four sessions of two rounds each. • Other days, I might do two sessions of ten rounds each. • Sometimes, I may do three sessions with four rounds each. 3. Should I use Mula Bandha (Kegel)? This teacher said that Mula Bandha is used to stimulate kundalini. Since my goal is not to stimulate kundalini but to use prana to clear the pathways, should I avoid Mula Bandha altogether? 4. Should I hold my breath at the crown or exhale immediately? As I understand it, I should bring the liquid back down immediately after it reaches the crown. This is because a teacher mentioned that messing with the crown can call up kundalini. So I want to engage with the crown as least as possible. Is it correct to exhale and bring the liquid down right away? 5. Why do some people visualize going around the back of the head or to the middle of the forehead? • This doesn’t make sense to me, as the Ajna (third eye) chakra is located in the center of the head, not in the back or the middle of the forehead. • The Sushumna Nadi runs through the center of the spine, up through the Ajna chakra (in the middle of the head), and then to the crown chakra. Clarification When practicing Kriya Pranayama, isn’t it correct that the prana should travel up through the spine, into the center of the head (Ajna chakra), and then to the crown chakra at the top of the head?
Yes, but you will not find it from among the followers of SRF or disciples of Yoganandaji. You need to search out the householder disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya in India, in particular the few who are authorised to teach it.
Ryan Kurzcak thank you so much. I loved your video and the way you have explained all the points. Thank you much. I pray that I am sincere in everything I do.
Thank-you Thank-you This is really helpful as I just got initiated to kriya last weekend and I am feeling a bit confused about the sequence.. there was a lot to take in over the weekend and I am fearful that I might give up, I do not want to do that, I want to make this a part of my life as it is such a beautiful meditation practice
I decided to learn what kriya yoga is about and watched Corey’s video and KRS mentioning about it too. I got curious when I saw your video popped up. It is amazing process and looks like my journey started. Thank you very much for the video, this is helpful.
This stuff is very instinctual. Like I just now got interested in kriya and it's breathing so this is the first video I'm watching. I've been doing these techniques as a kid, just using energy... the breathing and constricting throat is used when I'm amassing energy. I call it Black Sun Breathing... like this is cool. I wonder how many of the techniques I was taught while meditating as a kid by my inner selves is actually forms of yoga
I just realized I was using the same breathing technique as a teenager to draw in energy from the Earth, then I'd hold it and release it suddenly out my head while visualizing broken/flickering streetlights turning on...and it worked. I'm sure the average person would think I'm nuts but I did it hundreds, if not thousands of times and I know what I experienced. I didn't have any structured way of working with energy so I did what somehow felt natural.
Thanks for the video, I appreciate the detail you go into describing the practices, as that is something that has always hampered me following less in-depth descriptions, wondering whether I am doing them exactly right, or whether there is something I am missing.
Yep the closed mouth technique is basically ujayii pranayama as taught in the Krishmanacharya hatha lineages ( Ashtanga & Iyengar & Vini hatha practices etc). I also use the closed mouth, with throat constriction. Just cool to see so many others connecting with the light. Om
Thank you Ryan, I have just red Autobiografia di uno Yogi for the first time, thinking why I didn't read before... I will try to walk into this path. I have found an Italian not too far from where I live that has known and initiated by Rev Roy Davis. By the way I am 83 but perhaps it's not too late!🤗😉
Ryan - Just one question - I have watched Kriya techniques where people breath through the nose vice breathing through the mouth. The original technique that I learned from SRF has people breathing through the mouth - both the in-breath and out-breath. The in-breath is an almost a HA sound feeling the cool air moving through the back of the throat. The exhale is an 'EEE' sound with the exhalation of warmer air - again through the mouth. It's been a while since I have read the SRF lessons on this (I don't have the original lessons anymore). I just wanted to confirm what I remember. I prefer the mouth breathing vice the nose breathing. Comments? Suggestions?
I'm initiated into Surat Shabd yoga. I don't use breath. I use mantra for focus on third eye. And when I'm focused then breath almost stop. I see wast ocean of light. It's warm, like a sun. It wash all my emotional and mental garbage. It's so healing. Also my psychical body sometimes shakes the tension store within. But I don't practise sound meditation. It blows me away. I hear bells, rivers...I realy feel my consciousness is cleaned but after meditation I'm almost like dead. No need to talk or do anything. I become to introverted and that's scary...
@Kriya Yoga Online with Ryan Kurczak can you understand me if I say that after those deep states I vant to leave this world. The silence and peace is so deep and well orchestrated that I feel burden in this material life. Is this normal? We all hear about happiness of yogis and so on. But in true the more I dive deep into meditation state the more sad I look to the outer world and worldly people. It's confusing. First I was playing with meditation..but afte few years 3, 4, 5 years...than at once I desolve into the inner space. Sow the light...dissaper... I vant to return home man...
I tend to get headaches after doing these exercises daily for a while, which I feel very sad about because other than that I love the soothing feeling in my spine. At the moment how I solve this problem is by attaching an inner chi-gong practice afterwards ( which is breathing up my back through my spine and exhaling down my front body and collecting my chi in my abdomen afterwards) which currently the only solution that elevates the headaches for me. I just wonder if anybody else experiences headaches after spinal breathing Kriya yoga and if there are some other specific Kriya Yoga explanations or/and solutions for this issue. Lots of love. keep up the good work Ryan
Great advice and details. I can't believe all this amazing stuff existed all this time and I never knew about it lol But happy to be here, nonetheless:-)
hi Ryan when bringing the current up through the chakras during Kriya pranayama and dhoti mudra, are you also at the same time lightly constricting the root chakra as with the life force arousal technique?
when I was initiated, I was taught the 2nd chakra is slightly above the first at almost navel level, and then the third chakra is where the solar plexus is. makes sense to me, but I see some techniques are different locations for 2nd and third chakra. any idea why
Hello amd thank you. I don’t know how to look into the spiritual eye. My eyes hurt and my gaze move around too much…. Do you have advices to solve that? I chose to look on the wall but I would like to do the real practice

How I Practice Kriya Pranayama
Steps of Kriya Pranayama:
1. Sit comfortably in a seated position, ensuring your spine is straight, shoulders are back and dropped away from the neck, and your neck is slightly tilted downward.
2. Gently look upward toward the third eye.
3. Constrict your throat to narrow the airflow, then inhale through your nose while visualizing and sensualizing a cool liquid ascending within your spine all the way to the crown chakra.
4. Exhale through your mouth, making an “EEEE” sound, while visualizing and sensualizing a warm/hot liquid descending back down within your spine.
PS: You do not visualize the spine at all-not any part of it, not even the inside of it. Your focus is solely on visualizing and sensualizing the liquid as it moves within the spine.

1. Can I practice this technique whenever I want, and can I vary the number of reps?

2. Can I do multiple sessions in a day?
For example:
• On some days, I might do four sessions of two rounds each.
• Other days, I might do two sessions of ten rounds each.
• Sometimes, I may do three sessions with four rounds each.
3. Should I use Mula Bandha (Kegel)?

Clarification
When practicing Kriya Pranayama, isn’t it correct that the prana should travel up through the spine, into the center of the head (Ajna chakra), and then to the crown chakra at the top of the head?
I hear that the one taught by Lahiri Mahasaya is still authentic in it's form.
Yes, but you will not find it from among the followers of SRF or disciples of Yoganandaji. You need to search out the householder disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya in India, in particular the few who are authorised to teach it.

Pranam guruji
Thank you this is amazing.
You're very welcome!
Thank you Ryan, I have just red Autobiografia di uno Yogi for the first time, thinking why I didn't read before... I will try to walk into this path. I have found an Italian not too far from where I live that has known and initiated by Rev Roy Davis. By the way I am 83 but perhaps it's not too late!🤗😉
Om
I am so thankful to you

Great video! Thank you so much.
You're very welcome!
Ryan - Just one question - I have watched Kriya techniques where people breath through the nose vice breathing through the mouth. The original technique that I learned from SRF has people breathing through the mouth - both the in-breath and out-breath. The in-breath is an almost a HA sound feeling the cool air moving through the back of the throat. The exhale is an 'EEE' sound with the exhalation of warmer air - again through the mouth. It's been a while since I have read the SRF lessons on this (I don't have the original lessons anymore). I just wanted to confirm what I remember. I prefer the mouth breathing vice the nose breathing. Comments? Suggestions?
I do it as described in this video
I'm initiated into Surat Shabd yoga. I don't use breath. I use mantra for focus on third eye. And when I'm focused then breath almost stop. I see wast ocean of light. It's warm, like a sun. It wash all my emotional and mental garbage. It's so healing. Also my psychical body sometimes shakes the tension store within. But I don't practise sound meditation. It blows me away. I hear bells, rivers...I realy feel my consciousness is cleaned but after meditation I'm almost like dead. No need to talk or do anything. I become to introverted and that's scary...
ok
@Kriya Yoga Online with Ryan Kurczak can you understand me if I say that after those deep states I vant to leave this world. The silence and peace is so deep and well orchestrated that I feel burden in this material life. Is this normal?
We all hear about happiness of yogis and so on. But in true the more I dive deep into meditation state the more sad I look to the outer world and worldly people.
It's confusing. First I was playing with meditation..but afte few years 3, 4, 5 years...than at once I desolve into the inner space. Sow the light...dissaper... I vant to return home man...
Thank you very much. You were very clear in explanation. 🙏🙏🙏
Welcome 😊

Thank you thank you thank you 🙏🙏🙏🌸🧡
You are so welcome
Can I practice kriya yoga without initiation sir ?
Very nice video. Thank you.
Thank you too
I tend to get headaches after doing these exercises daily for a while, which I feel very sad about because other than that I love the soothing feeling in my spine. At the moment how I solve this problem is by attaching an inner chi-gong practice afterwards ( which is breathing up my back through my spine and exhaling down my front body and collecting my chi in my abdomen afterwards) which currently the only solution that elevates the headaches for me. I just wonder if anybody else experiences headaches after spinal breathing Kriya yoga and if there are some other specific Kriya Yoga explanations or/and solutions for this issue. Lots of love. keep up the good work Ryan
Working with a bodyworker to help the core relax yet get stronger can help
or do chanting through the chakras for a few years first.
Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you too!
Can you remake this video showing these techniques while doing them
I don't look like anything in particular, other than a person sitting quietly, so it would not be different.
I love you. Thank you.
om
Great advice and details. I can't believe all this amazing stuff existed all this time and I never knew about it lol But happy to be here, nonetheless:-)
Happy new year!
Thank you so much !!!!!!

hi Ryan
when bringing the current up through the chakras during Kriya pranayama and dhoti mudra, are you also at the same time lightly constricting the root chakra as with the life force arousal technique?
That will be fine. Gently.

THANK YOU..!!💚
OM.
potete darmi un consiglio? Io quando inspiro e tiro la corrente dal primo chakra a salire mi viene da portare la pancia all interno va bene?
Va bene, ma non essere estremo al riguardo.
thank you Ryan! Blessings!
!
when I was initiated, I was taught the 2nd chakra is slightly above the first at almost navel level, and then the third chakra is where the solar plexus is. makes sense to me, but I see some techniques are different locations for 2nd and third chakra. any idea why
Different body types.
Thank you, Ryan.
Welcome!
Hello amd thank you. I don’t know how to look into the spiritual eye. My eyes hurt and my gaze move around too much…. Do you have advices to solve that? I chose to look on the wall but I would like to do the real practice
Focus on the heart.
