Kirtan Kriya Meditation, 12 minutes
Includes: benefits, instruction, and practice video!
What this meditation does
The Kirtan Kriya boosts memory and brain function. It also helps with concentration, clears loose ends (including relationships), and changes habits. If you’re trying to get someone’s influence out of your system, this is also the meditation you want to do.
Do I recommend doing this meditation daily?
YES.
There are 3 powerful meditations in Kundalini Yoga that are great to do for 40 to 1000 days, and this is one of them. I’ll tell you more about this another time.
Here’s how to do this meditation.
(I’ve included a recording below so you can practice along with me; I don’t go into instruction at all, I go straight into the meditation.)
TIME: 12 minutes
POSTURE: seated with a tall spine, legs uncrossed unless you’re sitting on the floor in easy pose, chin level, hands are on knees
MANTRA (sound): Sa Ta Na Ma
DRISTHI (EYE FOCUS): eyes are closed and gently rolled up, looking towards your third eye, or brow point.
MUDRA (hand position): this is a moving mudra -
Index finger touches the thumb when you say Sa. This is the gyan mudra, and it calls on wisdom
Middle finger touches the thumb when you say Ta. This is the shuni mudra, it calls on patience
Ring finger to the thumb when you say Na. Surya mudra for increased vitality
Pinky to the thumb when you say Ma. Buddhi mudra for better communication
VISUALIZATION: I didn’t mention this in my writing in “How to make meditation work for you”. Do the best you can with this.
With each sound (Sa, Ta, Na, and Ma), imagine light coming in from the heavens into your crown (fontanel) and then out through your third eye point (the point between your eyebrows, about a half inch above). It’s an “L” formation light going through your 6th and 7th chakras (intuition and understanding of Oneness).
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
First 2 minutes: Say the mantra out loud (voice it) while using the appropriate mudra
Next 2 minutes: Whisper it
Next 4 minutes: Do it silently
Next 2 minutes: Whisper it
Next 2 minutes: Voice it
End with a couple of minutes of silence or prayer. Then stretch the arms up, spreading the fingers wide, and actively hold that stretch for a few breath cycles.
Time modification: you can increase or decrease the times by keeping the same time ratio - 1:1:2:1:1
