April 3-8, 2009 Prana Kriyas—Practicing the Power of Presence
Online Application

Preparation for Prana Kriyas
Thank you for your interest in this program. Following a thorough review of your application and health form, you will receive an invitation to the program or you will be asked to continue with your sadhana to become better prepared.

This program is a natural extension of Amrit Yoga, where you work with the body as an expression of energy. This program is experiential—working with energy through surrender. Your own inner surrender in the presence of Gurudev can create a deepened connection to source and spontaneous kriyas. This program is also one of synergy with others in the program, which will require your commitment to the entire program. Please make your travel arrangements so you are here for the start and finish of the program.

Requirements:

  • Evening hours
  • A restrictive, cleansing diet
  • No outside communication through the use of cell phones, phones or computers
  • Extended periods of silence
  • Daily seva as an extension of pranakriya; total surrender in all action

A week before the program, in preparation you are asked to:

  • Practice brahmacharya in preparation for your sadhana
  • Initiate a cleansing diet of fruit, juices and salads and the elimination of excessive salt, sugar and carbohydrates
  • Participate in a colon cleanse or colonic. A suggestion for a colon cleanse program is the Dr. Shultz program which is available at www.herbdoc.com.

As soon as you make a commitment to participate in this program you are asked to begin a daily practice of pranayama, asana , yamas and niyamas as best as your schedule will permit.
