Counting In Kriya Yoga - Yogi Explains

Summary

, 7 min

Why Kriya Yoga counts breaths on a mala or the finger pads: counting keeps some beta brainwave active, balancing the descent into the subconscious so the meditator does not fall asleep. Also covers counting mentally to protect the freeze response, and shows rudraksha and jade malas made by students in Australia.
