I was badly injured in an accident last year and had a long time to recuperate. i used the time to step up my meditations and japa, practicing the presence, spiritual study, etc. I was meditating like never before--up to 8 hours a day, most days at least 7. I'd never really appreciated the power of stillness until then. So while I think I understand the attraction to the higher kriyas, I do feel that just the power of first kriya is incredible. Not to mention the preliminary techniques...
What an incredible story! Thanks for sharing. Sometimes the most difficult 😞 challenges in life promote the most progress. I’ve witnessed it also.
