Kriya

Kriya emphasizes a positivity of outlook and honoring of energetic purity for several
reasons. While amplifying our life-force and surfing it into our core, it is important not to
poison ourselves with increased negativity. This is one of the reasons, that Lahiri Mahasaya,
who some consider the father of modern kriya, emphasizes to beginning students that they
should always use a positively held mantra and definition in their internal visualizations
rather than let an un-stabilized mind wander in sub-conscious thoughts, which he
considered dangerous when combined with breath and internalization.
