TKYP85 - The Obstacle of Fear
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
Sunday Nov 27, 2022
In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, please enjoy a recording from our November monthly lesson offered to our "Journal of a Kriya Yoga Teacher" Patreon members.
Here we discuss the obstacle of fear. Fear prevents us from going deeper into our meditation, or making positive changes in our spiritual life. Fear is a reality, but not a defining factor of who we are. Once this is realized, we can be free of its influence. This talk is based off the writing in my new book, An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice. Now available in hardcover on Amazon.

TKYP83 - How Kriya Yoga Changed a Life
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
Sunday Oct 30, 2022
In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we have a very special presentation. Robert Martin began the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program in 2019. He joined us this past September of 2022, for another end-of-year Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship retreat, and gave a talk to the participants, sharing how he has changed and developed since beginning Kriya Meditation and applying the recommended yogic lifestyles guidelines. His testimony was well received, and so I thought it useful to share with you, the audience of The Kriya Yoga Podcast. It is my wish that his words share the possibilities one can experience after consistent practice of Kriya Yoga.
Also, I want to take some time to wholeheartedly thank the supporters of this podcast.
