Connect To Shunya - The Great Field of Stilness - Kriya Set

This 45+ minute guided practice will take you on a journey to your essential nature: the great field of silence, of stillness, of emptiness, from where everything emerges and folds back to.

I am honored to share with you and guide this kriya set that supports a deepening of our awareness of "Shunya", the great field of emptiness, filled with great intelligence, energy. Experience for yourself and in your own unique way, waves of silence, of deep serenity and realize that all shapes and forms arise from that emptiness.
For more profound experiences, you may want to practice this set as a sadhana for 21 days, if possible always around the same time of the day.

Himalayan Kriyas have been passed on from Yog Vedantic Masters to Disciples for millennia. These techniques encompass specific pranayama, mudras, mantras, intentions and energies to attain specific states. For accrued benefits, multiple Kriyas can be practiced in specific, intelligently composed, sequences called Kriya Sets.
