Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Posted June 2, 2001 The instructions for Sat Kriya present two options for the hands: clasped with Jupiter fingers pointing up (for use if recent drug use) and unclasped with palms together (if no recent drug use). I like to clasp my hands in venus lock (no recent drug use). Is that okay? Steve Porter Quote

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Posted June 3, 2001 Sat Nam Steve: Just wanted to be sure what you meant here: > The instructions for Sat Kriya present two options for the hands: > clasped with Jupiter fingers pointing up (for use if recent drug >use) and unclasped with palms together (if no recent drug use).

Of course it is fine to use venus lock with the index fingers extended regardless of whether or not there is recent drug use - I think this is more an issue of comfort & intensity. My experience is that once I could comfortably manage (for example) 11 minutes of Sat Kriya with the index fingers up, I could then manage 3 minutes with the palms pressed together. So, if you'd like, you can experiment with using the more advanced mudra in a similar fashion to experience the difference - it is harder, but it definitely releases more energy, and if one is pressed for time, this is a good way to get more benefit in less time. However, if you meant that you are using venus lock without the index fingers extended, that is not OK - it should be one of the two options provided. Many blessings, Sadhant Quote
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Posted June 4, 2001 Is the 'Sat Nam' chant supposed to be said silently? Is it really 8 repetitions per 10 seconds? That seems fast. What about breathing during the meditation? Thanks in advance, Richard _____ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ Quote

Thanks in advance, (As the instructions say), there is no specific breath for Sat Kriya - follow the instructions for chanting and pulling the navel point, and let your body find the right breath. Different people will find different breath rhythms - just let it happen. Many blessings, Sadhant Quote
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Posted June 4, 2001 Sat Nam, It is ok to do Sat Kriya slower than 8 repetitions per 10 seconds. Find a good rhythm for yourself. Sat Nam, Gururattan Kaur Quote
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2001 Report Posted June 8, 2001 Is there a place I can go view a group practising K.Y. to see if it is something I would like to try ? Thanks, Dave Quote
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2001 Report Posted June 10, 2001 Hi Dave, Check with IKYTA on line to find a teacher near you. Contact the teacher and ask if they mind your watching a class.
