The rich variety of techniques brings about a complete transformation of the sincere practitioner. Among its benefits are physical healing and increased levels of energy, balancing of the emotions, mental calm, increased concentration, inspiration, wisdom and spiritual Self-realization.

It brings balance and tranquility to the body and mind by reducing both restlessness and inertia. It is appropriate for all those who wish to transform themselves in the body, mind and spirit. It is for anyone who is searching to establish an open pathway towards their soul. It is for anyone who seeks discover how in the words of Jesus, the Kingdom of Heaven is accessible here on Earth. It is for anyone who wants to have more joy and happiness in their life and in their relationship with others. It is effective for one and all, regardless of their cultural, social or religious affiliation, age, sex or previous experience.

Kriya Yoga views life as series synchronistic events, pleasurable and problematic, unfolding at the right time and place. The techniques of Kriya Yoga, including Kriya Yoga asanas (physical postures), Kriya pranayama breathing, Kriya mantra (sacred sound syllables) and Kriya meditation work integrally to raise one's consciousness and energetic level. This allows one to view both kinds of events as opportunities for growth and for lessons learned.

Kriya Yoga is a physical, vital, mental, intellectual and spiritual sadhana, or discipline, in which one remembers one's true Self, the pure Witness consciousness, and lets go of the false egoistic identification with the body and mental movements. It grants more control over one's life. Interestingly enough, as self control is gained, one feels oneself to be less and less “the doer” and so one begins to accept and enjoy of life as it unfolds. Kriya Yoga develops trust, gratitude and devotion for God's Presence in one's life. One begins to meditate on God, and speak to God, as his or her truest and closest Friend, and begins to hear His response.

Greater mental clarity and focus is achieved through Kriya Yoga, and it is easier to act consistently in the right and best way both for oneself and for others. With this clarity and heightened intellectual strength, one’s consciousness expands and one accomplishes more with less energy, accepting less credit for the work done, and with more gratitude for the Supreme Doer in our life.

The integral alignment of body, mind, and spirit gained through the practice of Kriya Yoga awakens our potential power and consciousness, known as “kundalini.” The level of our consciousness determines the nature and quality of the life we live. We must develop an advanced spiritual consciousness, which opens the mind to other dimensions of existence. Only then can we use that consciousness in the activities of our life to positively affect the world and those around us.
