The Connection Between Breath and Mind: A Path to the Non-Duality State of Consciousness.

A Journey into Silence

Kriya Yoga is an ancient spiritual science of meditation that works with the breath, the subtle energy centres (chakras), and our thought patterns. Rather than trying to force the mind into silence or suppressing thoughts, Kriya Yoga works with the natural relationship between breath and awareness. As we practise, the mind can begin to settle, allowing us to experience a deeper inner stillness.

When people hear about Kriya Yoga, they often imagine difficult body postures or strict spiritual rules. Actually, it is an inner science of consciousness, revived by Mahavatar Babaji and carried forward through a lineage of masters, including Master Per H. Wibe.

At Motherlap, Vanisha Uppal shares her experiences of practising Kriya Yoga since 2012. She has also organised retreats for Master Per H. Wibe across India for more than ten years.

For her, Kriya Yoga is not dry theory. It is a way of learning how to observe, what to observe, and understand the mind through simple techniques. We do not have to force anything. The way we breathe begins to change, and with it, the way we experience life.

The lineage of Kriya Yoga: The tradition is traced from Mahavatar Babaji to Sri Lahiri Mahasaya, Sri Yukteswar Giri, and Paramahansa Yogananda. There have also been many other disciples and teachers whose names may not be widely known, yet who have carried these techniques forward.

The Silence We Find, and the Restlessness We Return To

We all experience moments of silence in activities we enjoy. For a while, the mind relaxes, and we feel at ease. But what happens after that?

We may become restless again. We talk excessively, get angry, feel overexcited, or throw ourselves into one activity after another. Without realising it, we lose the very calmness we had just experienced. It is a never-ending loop.

Why do we become restless again after experiencing silence? How can we learn to sustain that inner calm? And why do we feel the need to accumulate more and more peace? Explore these questions in Magical Kriya Yoga, What Is Meditation?, and Work Hard for What.

When Doubts Arise

Even after five years of practising Kriya Yoga, there may be times when we doubt ourselves. We may still feel angry, anxious, or disturbed. We begin to wonder: What is the point of practising so much? Explore more in Self Doubt and What Is Meditation? — Part 2.

The Search for Something More

In eagerness to help others, we may turn towards charity or other good deeds, hoping that it will help us in some way with our own sadness or anxiety. We may feel good for a while, yet a certain emptiness remains. What are we looking for? Read Self-Centred.

Human suffering often turns us towards religion, spirituality, or an inner search. As we become our own true companion, the world around us can begin to feel different. Read True Companion.

And yet, change is not always easy. We may prefer to stay in our comfort zone or get comfortable in fear. Sometimes, it takes a great deal of discomfort before we are willing to look within. Read Fear of the Unknown.

The Role of Practice

A sincere inner search needs more than curiosity. This is where the techniques of Kriya Yoga can help.

As we begin practising, many questions arise. Am I progressing? How long will it take? Who is the true Guru? How do I focus and concentrate? These are questions that many sincere seekers encounter along the way. Read In Conversation with Master Per H. Wibe.

You do not need to master advanced techniques overnight. Every journey begins somewhere. A small, sincere beginning may be enough to open a door. Read Just a Little Taste of Silence.

Our own interest helps us to stay consistent in Sadhana, and consistency turns into intensity. Read Practice Makes Perfect: Sadhana.
