In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, please enjoy a recording from our November monthly lesson offered to our "Journal of a Kriya Yoga Teacher" Patreon members. Here we discuss the obstacle of fear.  Fear prevents us from going deeper into our meditation, or making positive changes in our spiritual life.  Fear is a reality, but not a defining factor of who we are. Once this is realized, we can be free of its influence.  This talk is based off the writing in my new book, An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice. Now available in hardcover on Amazon.  Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, please enjoy a recording from one of our Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Monthly Q&As. Here we discuss: Are there masculine and feminine approaches to meditation? What do I do with odd feelings I experience during meditation? How is body awareness helpful in meditation? Is my imagination too active?  Are my dreams and daydreams anything other than a distraction? Does meditation open you up to demons? How do I follow my intuition to my higher purpose? My mind shuts down when I try to read the Bhagavad Gita. Is this a problem? Will I be able to meditate longer if I practice Kriya Yoga? Why do we just focus on the upper chakras in some of our meditations? What is the purpose of the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program? Which of Roy Eugene Davis’ books are the best to read?

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we have a very special presentation. Robert Martin began the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program in 2019. He joined us this past September of 2022, for another end-of-year Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship retreat, and gave a talk to the participants, sharing how he has changed and developed since beginning Kriya Meditation and applying the recommended yogic lifestyles guidelines. His testimony was well received, and so I thought it useful to share with you, the audience of The Kriya Yoga Podcast.  It is my wish that his words share the possibilities one can experience after consistent practice of Kriya Yoga.  Also, I want to take some time to wholeheartedly thank the supporters of this podcast.
