Sanatan Kriya flow for glowing skin

Originating from Ashtanaga Yog, Sanatan Kriya is a field of yog that addresses the whole body. The kriya has five basic steps on which it is based. These are named as Ujjai pranayam, rotations, chakra santulan pranayam, panch mahaprana and dhyan with the guru. The Sanatan Kriya is exclusively formulated by Yogi Ashwini, spiritual head of Dhyan foundation.

Sanatan Kriya has numerous benefits that contribute to its popularity among many followers across the world. 




They are such as follows:

1.The sanatan kriya offers to bring balance and steadiness in the body, especially after it is affected by diseases and stresses of day-to-day life.

2.Since the kriya is exclusively formulated, it also offers to work on the prana of our bodies. Prana is the universal flow of energy which currents in and around the body.

3.The kriya also causes an immediate positive effect on the chakras and the nadis (which are the veins interconnected through the force of life, namely the pranamaya kosh).

4.The kriya, if practised regularly, can bring about balance that helps the body stay away from any kind of disturbances. These disturbances can vary from person to person and can be described as tiredness and hallucinations, often linked to the mind of a person.

5. Once you do the kriya on a regular basis, it is known to bring out a natural glow in your skin, as it is considered to be a cleansing process of your inner self.


The first three steps of the sanatan kriya: ujjai pranayam, rotations and chakra santulan.


Benefits of ujjai pranayam: Ujjai pranayam provides major benefits for the pranamaya kosh. Since our pranas tend to get blocked due to diseases and stress, ujjai pranayam offers to open these blocks and balance the prana. After the completion of this first step, the body is supposed to feel lighter and revitalized.


Benefits of rotations: In order to get the most out of this step, rotations need to be done in the correct manner; otherwise, the difference will not be felt. Once you do the rotations properly, you will realize how uncoordinated your various body parts are. These rotations help to bring this coordination in place.


Benefits of chakra santulan: Chakras are the seven centres of spiritual power in the body. In the third step, the chakra santulan offers to bring out balance in the chakras and the nadis that provide positive energy to the body. The chakra santulan also helps to bring balance between mind and body.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...

Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun. The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras. Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through...
