The 3rd Proof is a Gift to Kriya Yogis

Summary

, 18 min

How to feel the third of the Four Proofs, pressure or tingling of the Dorsal Vagal Complex along the spine, as an easier alternative to the warm and cool spinal currents one Kriya lineage stresses. A review of the four proofs leads into guided rescue breaths, breath holds with recovery, and shaking, with Matsyendra's twist read as turning inward.
