Paravastha

Also called after effect poise state and be phase

The after-effect poise state of Kriya: the "be" that follows the "do" of HRV resonance and OM Japa. The meditator lets go and soaks up whatever shows up, from the Four Proofs and calm or bliss to the Tranquil Breath, Freeze Response and Roll-Up. It is taught as the actual meditation state and a setup for absorption.
