A House Divided in Kriya Yoga - Tiers of Time

Summary

, 23 min

How much daily meditation to commit to, framed as three tiers: a five-minute minimum habit, twenty minutes to an hour grown from enjoyment, and long sits made easy by skill in the tranquil breath and freeze response. Ashokji's rule of twelve Kriyas and checking interest shows how to self-regulate without forcing practice into a "house divided."
