Kriya provides a rapid path to awakening, though its practices have traditionally been veiled in secrecy, transmitted from master to initiate for thousands of years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving been introduced to Kriya 40 years ago, Keith Lowenstein, M.D., offers an accessible yet comprehensive guide to this meditation practice. He explains the basic techniques step by step, outlining proper posture, breathwork exercises (pranayama), visualization practices, and mantra. He demonstrates that Kriya is a scientific art—if practiced consistently, it allows quick entry into deep meditation states, ultimately leading to inner stillness. The practice also promotes healing, cultivates compassion, and achieves the liberation and joy that comes from the union of Nature and Spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSharing his teacher's wisdom, Lowenstein adds a detailed comprehension of anatomy, particularly the significance of the spine in Kriya yoga and energy flow. Ganesh Baba’s teachings on spirit-infused science and the integration of Vedic philosophy, quantum mechanics, prana, and spiritualization are illustrated in the Cycle of Synthesis. The book also discusses the relationship between Kriya yoga exercises and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, alongside teachings from other influential figures such as Paramahansa Hariharananda.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis guide offers not only an understanding of the practices of Kriya yoga but also reveals the spiritual richness it bestows, including the ultimate self-realization of non-dual reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596752240876,"sku":"9781644112182","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/c3d126ac658e959575f5aace68f95e36.jpg?v=1777946925","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/kriya-yoga-for-self-discovery-by-keith-g-lowenstein-9781644112182","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
