The meditation practices described on this page, which have been distilled from Kriya Yoga and other sources, will provide you with a very solid foundation for going into meditation quickly. Meditation is grounded in heart rate variability; without it, you won’t get very far in meditation. In order to internalize (i.e., attain pratyahara), you need to be in heart rate variability to slow down your heart and to shift into your parasympathetic nervous system. If you master these techniques, your meditation practice will jump forward by 20 years in a relatively short period of time.

Best Meditation Posture
What is the best meditation posture? Is it to sit in the Lotus Pose (Padmasana) that will guarantee your ascension into samadhi bliss or is there another way? Check out this video to find out!
How to Meditate Deeply in Five Minutes or Less
The key to going into deep meditation quickly is stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. We do this through Heart Rate Variability Breathing, which is distilled from Kriya Yoga. By slowing the breath to under seven breaths per minute, taking out the pauses between the breaths, and making the exhalation slower than the inhalation, we will lower the body’s idle and go into deep meditation.
Heart Rate Variability Resonance Breathing
The foundation of meditation is heart rate variability resonance. This occurs when the heart rate is in resonance with the breath. Through Heart Rate Variability Resonance Breathing, the heart rate lowers naturally and the practitioner shifts from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic. The result is an interiorizing of the senses and the beginning of real meditation!

The Inner Smile
The Inner Smile is both a profound and deceptively simple practice. It leverages our innate instinct to smile and helps us to harmonize and integrate disparate aspects of ourselves or situations. It works well as both a stand-alone practice or it can be integrated into any technique to increase one’s sensitivity and awareness.
