TKYP205 - Two Phases of Kriya Yoga Medit...

Ryan Kurczak
About this episode

During our March 2024 Equinox retreat, we discussed the two phases of Kriya Yoga Meditation practice.  Phase one includes arranging your life, consciousness and schedule to support super-conscious meditation.  Phase two is the consistent experience of super-conscious meditation.

Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author. He was authorized to teach Kriya Yoga in 2005, by Roy Eugene Davis, a direct student of Paramahansa Yogananda.

If you would like to participate in online live sessions consider becoming a member of The Kriya Yoga Online Patreon Community or applying to the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program.

For continued inspiration and instruction, please read my new book, An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice. Now available in hardcover and softback on Amazon.  Also, now available Understanding the Holy Science: A Theoretical and Experiential Study Guide to Sri Yukteswar's Kriya Yoga Practice.
