I have been on a spiritual path for the last 20 years and after a long and often frustrating journey became determined to learn Kriya yoga. I quickly discovered however that finding information on the actual techniques was not easy. As an answer to my prayer I suppose, I found this channel and listened to several of your videos and immediately knew you were exactly what I was looking for. I bought your book Continuing the Lineage and The Eternal Way by Mr. Davis. You have helped me immeasurably and I just wanted you to know how truly grateful I am.
Your being disrespectful to the lineage of kriya yoga and it's gurus that lived their lives through selfless action come on man gurus are nessesary because people could waste their entire life doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason.
You have given hope to all those who GAVE up hope wanting to practice Kriya yoga but unable to get a teacher or initiation. Your instructions very clear precise and simple to understand. May GOD bless you SIR!
Ryan, As a fallen away 65 year old SRF-er, also somewhat cynical -- I "out-of-the-blue" did a UA-cam search for Kriya yoga last October 2018, and finding your videos and your honest demeanor has reignited my meditation practice and lifted my seriousness to a new high. I have had Roy Davis' books at my bedside table and have found your video discussions with him also very inspirational. I honor his passing by messaging you about the help that your involvement in the lineage has provided me.
My experience is very similar Patrick! I was an SRF student around 1980. I left SRF and explored different paths, eventually landing in Shin Buddhism (which I still practice). I found this very video which introduced me to Roy Eugene Davis. I loved his books and a very Buddhistic and practical approach. I wrote to him and he sent my a DVD to consider as my initiation into Kriya, although in a very real way, this UA-cam video by Ryan was my Kriya initiation and changed my life! Since Mr Davis's passing Ryan is my primary source for Kriya information and inspiration. I highly recommend Ryan's books as well.
Same here, Patrick. 69 and found Ryan several months ago. Refreshing, honest, knowledgeable, authentic teacher who inspires me to resume the practices. Also appreciated a newer more relaxed, flexible, intuitive, creative addition to the practices and lifestyle rather than a rigid by-the-book dogmatic one.
Thank you! Seeing those words visually, made me understand what I miss if I don't take this practice seriously! As have been said, all tools, you do the work as Creator your own unique way🙏🏻💯💜
Thank you for this instruction on kriya yoga techniques. I just read Yogananda's autobiography and became intrigued about kriya yoga. I appreciate it when clear instructions are given and you did this very well, Ryan. I look forward to incorporating this into my life and trying to achieve a heightened awareness. The autobiography was amazing. I love how the masters and gurus (like Babaji) were appearing all over the place following their deaths. I thought only Jesus had done this.
And the fact that they can dematerialize and rematerialize at will at any number of locations through time is quite remarkable to those of us who know nothing about it.
Namaste. I am deeply grateful for your videos. They are very clear and come from a very pure source, I think many more people would practice Kriya Yoga if it was more accessible, but the teachings seem to be quite obscure, preventing one from fully embracing this path. This is unfortunate because I feel it is ideal for many westerners as it is so systematic and straightforward. I thank you for your seva, for making these sacred techniques more accessible to the sincere seeker.
Thank you! We indeed don't need to travel far to get the spiritual practice. Some say, the place you live in is the best place for you to rise you consciousness. Your Soul with Higher Beings have choosen this place in very deliberate way. Even if there are obstacles these are the divine steps for the consciousness and for cleansing the Soul.
Excellent. Yes. Keep it simple. I do plan on doing some extended meditation sequences in a few weeks. One will be a short 30 minute sequence using the above mentioned techniques. The other will be longer guided meditation for those interested in going deeper into the practice.
Yes, but you will not find it from among the followers of SRF or disciples of Yoganandaji. You need to search out the householder disciples of Lahiri Mahasaya in India, in particular the few who are authorised to teach it.
For about the last 10 months I have been using the HeadSpace guided meditation app. It has helped me calm & quiet my mind - find peace and happiness. But I am beginning to out grow that app - as I’ve grown, the spoken guidance is becoming a distraction rather than the necessary aid it was in the beginning. Now I play quiet meditation back ground music - or nothing - but use the Insight Timer app to time/end my meditation. I greatly enjoyed this helpful video - I feel that I’ve gotten to a place where I can begin learning & practicing Kriya Yoga Meditation. Thank you Ryan 🙏
Namaskaram 🙏🏽thank you for offering these techniques. I am a certified yoga instructor and i would like to add that the root, navel, and throat locks are Bandhas. The throat is more of a pulling back and tucking the chin slightly as if you’re holding a marble between the chin and throat. Also the breathing that you speak of is ujjayi breathing through the nostrils
extremely helpful...i have not been able to find anyone in cincinnati to initiate me so this is as close as it gets! I have been practicing many different meditations, yogas, and mantra chanting since 2015 so...this is the spark i need!
@@MichaelGaytan-p4f incidentally, I have travelled the country and came to see things that dispelled a lot of my need or desire for someone else to initiate me.
Thank-you Thank-you This is really helpful as I just got initiated to kriya last weekend and I am feeling a bit confused about the sequence.. there was a lot to take in over the weekend and I am fearful that I might give up, I do not want to do that, I want to make this a part of my life as it is such a beautiful meditation practice
This stuff is very instinctual. Like I just now got interested in kriya and it's breathing so this is the first video I'm watching. I've been doing these techniques as a kid, just using energy... the breathing and constricting throat is used when I'm amassing energy. I call it Black Sun Breathing... like this is cool. I wonder how many of the techniques I was taught while meditating as a kid by my inner selves is actually forms of yoga
I just realized I was using the same breathing technique as a teenager to draw in energy from the Earth, then I'd hold it and release it suddenly out my head while visualizing broken/flickering streetlights turning on...and it worked. I'm sure the average person would think I'm nuts but I did it hundreds, if not thousands of times and I know what I experienced. I didn't have any structured way of working with energy so I did what somehow felt natural.
Thanks for the video, I appreciate the detail you go into describing the practices, as that is something that has always hampered me following less in-depth descriptions, wondering whether I am doing them exactly right, or whether there is something I am missing.
Ryan Kurzcak thank you so much. I loved your video and the way you have explained all the points. Thank you much. I pray that I am sincere in everything I do.
Thank you Ryan, I have just red Autobiografia di uno Yogi for the first time, thinking why I didn't read before... I will try to walk into this path. I have found an Italian not too far from where I live that has known and initiated by Rev Roy Davis. By the way I am 83 but perhaps it's not too late!🤗😉
I agree with Ryan that meditating with an 'organization' is not necessary. I did my initial Kriya training and initiation with Self Realization Fellowship, but there are many paths to Kriya. I don't have a problem with SRF, but after years of meditating alone, I attempted to join a local SRF group and meditate with them once per week. I really did not enjoy the experience - I would rather be a lone Yogi. Also, there are a bewildering array of Kriya techniques out there if you search YT videos. Take 2-3 and stick with them. It becomes way too confusing (at least for me) to do techniques that don't seem to jive with me. I do the basic Hang Sau and Kriya 1 - Kriya 1 being the basic technique that Ryan demos here in the video - inhale (Ha - cool air) to the 6th Chakra, then exhale ('eee' - warm air down to the base chakra). That's it. I don't need to make it more complicated than that - 20 - 30 min 2X per day -sometimes more if I have the time. The practice that works is the one that you do consistently.
This is very random, but time/space isn't really linear anyway. I have been breathing kriya almost 30 years, and am a direct initiate into a kriya lineage that essentially makes me Ryan's spiritual cousin ( one of Yogananadaji's lone wolf students is my paramguru). I have not even bothered to google the world of Kriya outside of my own life until last week, and have been pleasantly surprised by how much the digital world has changed things. Albeit perhaps adding layers of confusion. But I am here to attest that what you describe ( and Ryan is teaching here) is what I was taught; these are the basics. Lovely, and true. I will add that I do use the mantra that can accompany kriya proper, and also, over the years I have taken to breathing kriya with my mouth closed. I was given the green light by the lineage to do so about six years ago. I have read that Yogananada was originally taught to breathe kriya with a closed mouth, but thought westerners would benefit from an open mouth technique as it reinforces the susumanic tube or tunnel ( ida) on a gross level, but who knows? Maybe some of his western sudents were unable to nostril breathe all the time? I have found this to be rather arbitrary, and have done both open and closed mouth inhalations depending on the moment at hand. Also arbitrary in my experience is the use of the mantra vs. aaa-eeee. Many blessings from one lone- wolf kriyaban to another.
Great advice and details. I can't believe all this amazing stuff existed all this time and I never knew about it lol But happy to be here, nonetheless:-)
A devotee asked Paramahansa Yogananda about one who had been in SRF and who had left the church to set up his own organization, and was giving Kriya. He asked Gurudeva, "Is the Kriya the same?" and Master replied, "No. The chain has been broken."
he also, authorized a few students to teach Kriya Yoga who were not affiliated with an organization... later... certain organizations don't like to admit that... very sad.

At 8:05 when pulling the current up, do you need to visualize each chakra (point) individually as the sensation rises up, or do you simply visualize the spine (channel) as a whole?
Ryan - Just one question - I have watched Kriya techniques where people breath through the nose vice breathing through the mouth. The original technique that I learned from SRF has people breathing through the mouth - both the in-breath and out-breath. The in-breath is an almost a HA sound feeling the cool air moving through the back of the throat. The exhale is an 'EEE' sound with the exhalation of warmer air - again through the mouth. It's been a while since I have read the SRF lessons on this (I don't have the original lessons anymore). I just wanted to confirm what I remember. I prefer the mouth breathing vice the nose breathing. Comments? Suggestions?
Yep the closed mouth technique is basically ujayii pranayama as taught in the Krishmanacharya hatha lineages ( Ashtanga & Iyengar & Vini hatha practices etc). I also use the closed mouth, with throat constriction. Just cool to see so many others connecting with the light. Om
Just for sincere aspiring kriya practitioners - please go through initiation, you will learn so much more… to each their own of course.. but go through initiation ;)
when I was initiated, I was taught the 2nd chakra is slightly above the first at almost navel level, and then the third chakra is where the solar plexus is. makes sense to me, but I see some techniques are different locations for 2nd and third chakra. any idea why
You do it. It will happen. Go with the flow. School wont teach you this. But passion. Doing copying someone it wont give you anything but wast of time. Wait when energy wants to make you fly. That will be real yoga or chi. Then you will be 🎉 You dont have to do anything but just sit and wait for life force. Wait my friend. Your body will move as soon as God wants. Remember for energy you just have to plug the wire, ooh my friend wait. He passed away 1952 but he is still here as energy. Ooh my friend just wait. Make sure you understand the last technology Ayat or ayats we have to recite and create the energy of believe. Make sure you ask for knowledge first but not education. Ooh my friend make sure to prostrating, throwing down.
