Synthesis, a model of the human experience Kriya yoga is an ancient
meditation technique that focuses on breathing and the spine to
unlock deep states of awareness, self-realization, and spiritual
growth. Kriya can provide a fast path to awakening, yet its
practice has been shrouded in secrecy, passed only from master to
initiate for millennia. Introduced into Kriya 40 years ago, Keith
Lowenstein, M.D., offers an accessible yet detailed guide to Kriya
yoga. He explains the basic techniques of the practice step by
step, detailing proper posture, breathwork exercises (pranayama),
visualization practices, and mantra. He reveals how Kriya is a
scientific art--if practiced consistently, it will allow you to
quickly enter deep states of meditation and ultimately experience
inner stillness. He also explores how the practice of Kriya leads
to healing and the development of compassion and the freeing joy of
the union of Nature and Spirit.
