Also, "less is more" is a very good policy with Kundalini Yoga in general. It's very powerful and after some practice you will be able to increase. Also if the anxiety is too much try something more subtle like Kirtan Kriya. Sat Nam.

It's not recommended to jump right in to 31 or more minutes, especially if you haven't done kundalini yoga very much. Best to start slowly and build up. Take time to experience the kriya and then increase the time. Also, there is a method wherein you do the kriya for 3 minutes, rest for 2 minutes and then continue that cycle up to 15 minutes. This is sometimes recommended for beginners. Sat Nam. Hi Sanj, any amount of time from 3 minutes up to 2 1/2 hours is acceptable.

I knew that heating honey for too long breaks down the components. I don't agree about the sugar though-- at least in my experience any processed sugar is tough on the system... but it tastes pretty good! Thanks for the comment. ~Jai Gopal Thanks laguna.

My IPad seems to live a life of it's own ;) "...I have been taught in the CLASSES i have attended" was what I wanted to say ;) Also: can the saying: "Less is more" apply to this kriya as it sometimes does in other yoga practices? Love M I am so sorry… My IPad seems to live a life of it’s own ;)

It is really inspiring and educational!I have read all about this kriya and panic attacs, as fear, anxiety and panic attacs is also my challenges in this life. And I hope Sat Kriya eventually will help me overtone these challenges. My question for you is how careful I can be when I start build this kriya, and still have an effect from it? I read something about that one can actually do the "pull" and "release" quite slow? I have been doing KY for a couple of years and have tried to establish a routine with Sat Kriya a couple of times. Both times I have followed instructions and pace from a cd, and both times I have ended up with more anxiety and panicattacs than I can cope with. This have led to me changing my KY-practise back to a program that calms me down again. I realise that SK releases my fears, and that this eventually is what is going to make me healthier, but I want to be sure I don't release them faster than I can cope with. so this time i want to be sure I do this at my own pace. So my question is: can I myself decide the pace of the "pull and release" (f.ex a pull every second or third second), and can I start by doing a more careful and controlled pull at the navel instead of a firm one I have been taught in The lasses I have attended?

Now maybe I am 2 weeks into the second round. It has gotten gradually more comfortable day by day, (yes I have some difficult emotional days that arose) but the energy has increased in intensity and I do not get as hot or sweaty. It has become something I actually enjoy at times....although when I began I also thought I would never survive! I am now considering keeping this kriya past the 40 days. Thank you for your comments, I am grateful for more guidance. Sat Nam!
