In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we explore the power of Kriya Yoga. The Power of Kriya Yoga: An Exploration of Self-Realization and Transcendence Kriya Yoga is a profound spiritual discipline that seeks to bridge the gap between the human experience and transcendence. This podcast delves into the reflections shared in a comprehensive lecture on the power of Kriya Yoga, touching on its transformative potential, philosophical underpinnings, and practical applications. Through the lens of a teacher's journey and insights, we explore the essence of this ancient practice. A Journey of Discovery Ryan recounts his initial encounter with Kriya Yoga, stemming from a deep yearning for spiritual clarity and understanding. Raised in a Christian tradition that did not fully satisfy his spiritual curiosity, he discovered the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda through the seminal work Autobiography of a Yogi. This exposure ignited a quest for enlightenment, leading to years of dedicated practice and mentorship under Roy Eugene Davis, a direct disciple of Yogananda. The transformative journey into Kriya Yoga begins with the premise that life is more than a physical or intellectual endeavor—it is a spiritual progression. Kriya Yoga offers a structured, "scientific" approach to transcendence, emphasizing direct experience over abstract philosophy. Philosophy and Practice Kriya Yoga is rooted in ancient Indian spiritual traditions, particularly the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita. Its philosophy underscores the alignment of mental, emotional, and psychological harmony as prerequisites for spiritual maturity. This discipline demands adherence to ethical principles (Yamas and Niyamas) and consistent meditative practice to unveil higher states of consciousness. Central to the practice is the idea of directing energy within the body along the spinal pathway, engaging chakras (energy centers) to achieve self-realization. By transcending the limitations of the root chakra—associated with basic survival instincts—practitioners progress through higher centers, unlocking creativity, love, wisdom, and eventually mystical insight. Mr. Kurczak emphasizes the role of action (Kriya) in this process. Transformation occurs through effort and discipline, aligning one's life with spiritual principles and fostering emotional and psychological balance. The Mystical Unknowing One of the most profound aspects of Kriya Yoga is its ability to guide practitioners into a state of "mystical unknowing." Rather than offering definitive answers, it cultivates faith and acceptance of the unknown. This "faith" is not a blind adherence but a trust born from direct experiences of spiritual support and coherence. Life's challenges are reframed as opportunities for growth, providing clarity and resilience through adversity. Ryan recounts moments of doubt and despair, only to find that persistent practice reveals the intelligence underlying life's difficulties. Meditation and philosophical study serve as tools to decode these challenges, aligning the practitioner's actions and choices with a higher purpose. The Human Journey Kriya Yoga positions human life as a bridge between primal instincts and divine transcendence. Drawing on the metaphor of the chakras, it describes the evolutionary journey from survival (root chakra) to spiritual illumination (crown chakra). This progression mirrors the transformation of unconscious living to a state of enlightened awareness. The speaker highlights the importance of personal growth as a foundation for spiritual advancement. Emotional and psychological maturity, cultivated through introspection and therapeutic practices, lays the groundwork for deeper meditation. This interplay between inner harmony and spiritual practice reflects the integrative nature of Kriya Yoga. Practical Implications Kriya Yoga's teachings extend beyond the meditation cushion. The discipline advocates for a life of integrity, authenticity, and alignment with universal truths. Practitioners are encouraged to live in harmony with the world, adopting sustainable practices, cultivating meaningful relationships, and embodying principles of truth and nonviolence. Moreover, the speaker underscores the importance of personal effort and commitment. Spiritual progress is not a passive journey but one that requires active engagement with life's challenges and a willingness to let go of outdated beliefs and habits. Conclusion Kriya Yoga offers a path to transcendence through a blend of philosophy, meditation, and ethical living. Its transformative power lies in its ability to harmonize the mind, body, and spirit, guiding practitioners toward direct experiences of the divine. As the speaker concludes, life itself becomes a form of divine communion, where every experience—joyful or painful—serves as a teacher. The ultimate goal is to realize the innate coherence of existence and to embody a state of enlightened awareness. This podcast encapsulates the essence of Kriya Yoga as not merely a practice but a profound way of being, offering a roadmap to spiritual self-discovery and the realization of life's deeper purpose. - If you would like to participate in future live sessions consider becoming a member of The Kriya Yoga Online Patreon Community or applying to the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program.

Hoy te traigo un tema hermoso y profundo, el primero de los cinco Yamas, Ahimsa. En este episodio nos dedicaremos a reflexionar alrededor de lo que significa Ahimsa y cómo este puede aplicar en cualquier aspecto de nuestra vida. ¡Espero te inspire!

Al menos seis personas fueron detenidas este sábado por miembros de la policía Nacional en un operativo de intervención de los barrios del Kilómetro 20 de la carretera de Yamasá donde había reportes del asedio de una banda criminal que atemorizaba a sus residentes.

Iniciamos esta emisión de noticias en el municipio de Yamasa, provincia de Monte Plata… Un equipo de RNN dio cobertura en exclusiva de la entrega de uno de los supuestos miembros de una banda que han asesinado al menos cinco personas en esa localidad, incluyendo a un comerciante y un peluquero… Juan Francisco Mora Herrera se encuentra en directo, y nos tiene los detalles... Adelante Juan Francisco.

Tonight we are tasting our first ever Greek wines.Yamas is a Greek word that means “to our health” or “cheers”. (accent on the second syllable)According to retailers in Des Moines, good Greek wine is hard to find here. According to the “Oxford Companion to Wine” over 85% of Greek wine is consumed in Greece. We were also told that much of the better wine is sent to high-end Greek restaurants in the eastern US. Tonight, we are enjoying two Greek wines including:NV Merastri Red Wine. Blend of Kotsifali and Mandalaria. 12% Alcohol. Fermented in stainless steel tanks. Aromas of plums, leather, and pepper. Flavors of dried red fruit and round tannins. Serve with meat BBQ, sausages, and medium-aged cheeses. NV Merastri White Wine. Vilana, Vidiano, Moschato, and Moschofilero grape blend. 11.5% alcohol. Each variety is separately fermented in stainless steel tanks before blending. It has aromas similar to Muscat with citrus fruits, and tastes of stone fruits with lemon notes. Pair with seafood and white meats.Next week we have our first Iowa Wine Challenge. We will blind taste an Iowa Petite Amie and a California Chardonnay: 2023 Petite Amie purchased at the winery for $17.76. 2020 Z Alexander Brown Chardonnay purchased for around $19.00.

The #24 Cigar of the Year for 2024 is the Saga Golden Age Yamasá by De Los Reyes Cigars. Saga is a brand owned and produced by the Reyes family in the Dominican Republic. The Reyes family launched the Saga brand in 2015, and one of the first brands was a Dominican puro known as the Saga Golden Age. The Reyes family has nearly 170 years of experience in all aspects of cigar making. They built their reputation as tobacco growers and tobacco brokers in the Dominican Republic, so it made sense to go to market with a Dominican puro. Now, the Reyes family takes the next step with the Golden Age by introducing the Golden Age to Yamasá. Full Details: https://wp.me/p6h1n1-uhT

The holiday season can be a magical time, but it can also bring its share of stress and emotional challenges. In this episode, I share practical tools to help you stay grounded and calm, even during high-stress moments like Thanksgiving gatherings. We'll explore a guided meditation focused on the root chakra, Muladhara, to balance your nervous system and connect with a sense of safety and stability.

In this episode or “Dharmasode,” I explore the profound connection between play, self-discovery, and finding your soul's purpose. As adults, we often lose touch with the joy of play, but what if reconnecting with it could unlock your true potential and align you with your dharma?I introduce the concept of Leela, or divine play, from yogic philosophy, which teaches us to embrace the joy of the process rather than focusing solely on the outcome. Play is not just for kids; it's a divine gift that calms the nervous system, fosters self-awareness, and strengthens relationships.Through guided meditations and reflective exercises, I invite you to revisit your childhood, reconnect with your inner child, and rediscover the activities that once brought you joy. Whether it's storytelling, exploring, or creating, these moments of reflection can help you tap into your soul's purpose.Plus, I share exciting news about my upcoming Yoga for Skillful Living series starting this January. I'd love to hear from YOU! What topics would you like me to cover in the series?

The fourth "fold" in the 8 Fold Path of Buddhism is all about action, conduct. It is about our choices and behaviours, very similar to the Yamas of Patanjali. Are your actions contributing to the ease and well being of all concerned or are they disrupting the peace?

We all know that yoga is much more than a physical practice; it is underpinned by a framework of philosophy that is centuries old. But as a yoga teacher, you may or may not have incorporated this theoretical understanding into daily action - or helped your students do so.  So today we talk about the practical application of some key yoga sutras with returning guest Diane Malaspina PhD. In this episode, Diane helps host Rachel appreciate how three of Patanjali's sutras apply to the challenges we face in daily modern life.  Listen in as we discuss the balancing act we must manage to realize any important long term goals, and how self-compassion can be a powerful tool for connection. — Show Notes: Defining the yoga sutras [3:16] What yoga philosophy teaches us about the nature of life [6:58] Committed practice (abhyasa) & non-attachment (vairagya) [10:54] Rolf Gates' definition of abhyasa [14:35] Another definition of sutras 1:12-1:16 – “Trust the Process” [19:42] Ahimsa as a counter to fear & polarization [30:36] The change begins with us; self-compassion leads to connection [35:07] Boundaries as a sustainable balance to Ahimsa [48:15] More resources & Diane's Yoga Medicine courses [51:02] — Links Mentioned: Watch this episode on YouTube Inside the Yoga Sutras – The Path to Freedom Online Course Exploring the Yamas through Meditation & Practice Online Course Join Diane LIVE & IN-PERSON for the Yoga Medicine® Resilience Retreat from Nov 2nd – 3rd in Santa Rosa, CA Suggested reading: Meditations from the Mat, Rolf Gates The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Chip Hartranft The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Swami Satchidananda Inside the Yoga Sutras, Jaganath Carrera Kristin Neff, Self Compassion Journaling Previous Yoga Medicine® Podcast Episodes with Diane Malaspina PhD: 04: Find Ease in Uncertainty 31: The Power of Intention 57: Drishti, the Potency of Our Focus – Research Roundup Connect with Diane Malaspina:          Facebook | Instagram | Diane Malaspina You can learn more about this episode, and see the full show notes at YogaMedicine.com/podcast-121.

Ep 190 Adam Keen – A Deeper Look at the Yamas and Niyamas "The yamas look like monks' vows." "Yoga is a physical method of inner conflict resolution." www.keenonyoga.com | @adam_keen_ashtanga  Adam delves into the complexities of the yamas and niyamas, exploring their relevance in modern yoga practice. He emphasizes the importance of inner alignment through Hatha yoga before adhering to moral codes, suggesting that true ethical living arises from a clear inner state. Adam discusses the challenges of moral actions, the nuances of non-violence, and the concept of Dharma in contemporary society. He advocates for a deeper inquiry into the nature of goodness and authenticity, ultimately positioning yoga as a process of self-discovery and alignment rather than mere adherence to social morality. Key Points ·      Yoga is not just about following rules; it's about inner alignment. ·      Hatha yoga serves as a foundation for understanding the yamas and niyamas. ·      Moral actions are complex and often lead to unintended consequences. ·      Patanjali's yamas may be more suited for monastics than lay practitioners. ·      Non-violence is a nuanced concept that goes beyond physical actions. ·      Dharma is not fixed; it requires personal inquiry and reflection. ·      Authenticity is more important than simply appearing good to society. ·      The struggle with ethical living is part of the yoga journey. ·      Inner cleansing is essential for genuine ethical behavior. ·      Yoga encourages inquiry and challenges societal norms.

An important component of health is contentment of the soul and the mind. Anusha Sehgal BAMS M.D, a classically trained Ayurvedic physician, shares how the yogic principles of the Yamas and Niyamas can be cultivated to support our everyday life, bringing balance and stability as well as support to navigate life's inevitable challenges.

In this episode, Michael explores how the 8 limbs of yoga and their connections to everyday life form a continuous circle rather than a straight line.

From the first step onto the mat to the deeper journey inward, Ashtanga offers more than just physical transformation. It introduces us to the yamas, the ethical principles that lay the foundation for a truly holistic practice. These yamas - non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, ethical conduct, and non-attachment - invite us to reflect on our actions, thoughts, and interactions both on and off the mat. In this episode, we explore how these principles plant seeds of mindfulness, nurturing our path towards inner peace and clarity. By embracing the yamas, we uncover opportunities for self-compassion, introspection, and connection with the deeper essence of yoga. It's in these moments of ethical living that we meet the real essence of our practice, transcending beyond physical postures. How present are the yamas in your daily life? Together let's explore how living with integrity and compassion not only enhances our experience in the shala but also leads us toward a more enlightened existence.  Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com.

It's about honouring our bodies and minds, and knowing when to rest.Nischala Joy Devi translates Tapas as living life with zeal and sincerity.

In this deep dive into yoga's origins and history, guest-host Stephanie Serrano interviews scholar Dr. Christopher Jain Miller about the yoga sutras and their role as the guiding texts for modern yoga. They discuss the connections between the yoga sutras and Samkhya philosophy, the relationship between the yoga sutras and the Bhagavad Gita, and the origins of the yoga sutras and Patanjali himself.Their discussion also covers how these texts were reinterpreted, and even misinterpreted, during the American counterculture.

This episode is Part 5 of our 10-part snack-sized Yoga philosophy series on the Yamas and Niyamas. Aparigraha is the 5th Yama which translates to detachment or the idea of non-hoarding, not keeping things or grasping on to things. Let's look a little bit deeper and think bigger about this idea of detachment.We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here. If anything within this Yama and Niyamas Series sparks your interest we'd suggest to follow that spark... you never know where it may lead you!This is what we spoke about during the episodeOur buying and consuming habits have gone too far for our planet.The practice of detachment allows us to enjoy the journey and become more present. The journey is the goal, not the destination.Nischala Joy Devi translates Aparigraha as acknowledging abundance. Take a moment to feel gratitude for the great blessings that surround you.This practice of Detachment turned our lives and beliefs upside down in an amazing way!

This episode is Part 4 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we tip toe, take snack bites (whatever you want to call it) into the Yamas and Niyamas. Brahmacharya is the 4th Yama and is traditionally translated to celibacy, but there is so much more to discuss!We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here. If anything within this Yama and Niyamas Series sparks your interest we'd suggest to continue following that spark... you never know where it may lead you!This is what we spoke about during the episodeSexual energy is one of the most natural human states of energy celebrated. Anand Mehrotra says "thinking that Patanjali was asking us to be celibate is ridiculous".Brahmacharya is not just about celibacy but also about channeling your energy and being aware of where your energy is going.It is a state of consciousness where you start to experience things based on their fullest value. When you look at a rose, you no longer label it as merely a rose, you start to look at it differently.Nishala Joy Devi says that Brahmacharya is the art of living a moderate life, but it can be challenging in our modern-day society of excess.If you missed the first three parts of this series, listen to:410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series411: Discovering Satya, the Power of Truth | Yamas Series412: The Practice of Asteya in Modern Life | Yamas SeriesIf you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

This episode is Part 3 of our 10-part Yoga philosophy series where we dip our toes into the Yamas and Niyamas. It's a snack bite-sized dive into philosophy (haha). Satya is the 3rd of the 5 Yamas, and is traditionally translated to non-stealing.We go far deeper into these Philosophies inside our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. You can learn more about our Yoga Teacher Training program over here.This is what we spoke about during the episodeAsteya is not just about non-stealing of physical possessions. Being late is stealing time. Distracting ourselves where there is no need for distraction is stealing from our own present moment.Nishala Joy Devi translates Asteya as abiding in generosity and honesty. When we are honest and generous, we experience abundance.Asteya tells us not to steal, but as it expands our hearts, it says give. Don't wait for someone to ask. Be alert and never miss an opportunity to give, give, give.Make sure to give to yourself first: compassion, love, acceptance, non-judgment, understanding, forgiveness. The more we give these to ourselves, the more we give them to others as well.If you missed the first and second parts of this series, listen to 410: Embracing Ahimsa | The First Step in Our Yamas Series and 411: Discovering Satya, the Power of Truth | Yamas SeriesIf you loved this episode or have more questions about this, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

The digestion of food and the digestion of life are intimately connected. If we're consuming food and activities that don't have prana or life force, the flow of our energy decreases. For example, if we consume heavily processed food regularly, it will affect our digestion and our mental capacity for life. It becomes a unhealthful cycle.Agni on a cellular level, allows us to process, transform and make good use of what we consume. When we consume things that have life force and sattvic qualities, agni can build tissue, make ojas strong and the mind stable.Join Myra Lewin, Founder of Hale Pule Ayurveda and Yoga, and Ericka, one of our Ayurvedic Health Counselors, as they discuss the important role agni has in maintaining mental health.
