What is Kriya?
Kriya, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "action" or "effort," refers to specific techniques used to harness and direct energy within the body. It involves a combination of breathwork, postures, and meditation designed to cleanse the mind and body, balance the chakras, and elevate spiritual consciousness. Kriya is fundamental in various yoga traditions for its profound impact on physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Why is Kriya Important?
Kriya is essential because it activates and purifies the energetic body, facilitating the flow of prana (life force) throughout the system. This practice not only enhances physical health by improving circulation and boosting the immune system but also promotes mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual growth. By releasing stagnant energy and clearing blockages, Kriya helps practitioners achieve a state of balance, inner peace, and heightened awareness.
