Great information in understanding Kundalini Yoga Practice Timings
In Kundalini Yoga, exercises are typically presented in a specific order, with precise timings and for a particular number of days. This is intentional, and as a teacher or student, you are encouraged to respect these guidelines.
The exercises are arranged in a particular sequence because each has a unique impact on your body and energy flow. To experience the benefits of these exercises, it is crucial to follow the prescribed order and allow your body to undergo the intended changes. These exercises are specially designed to affect you on a subtle level, which becomes apparent through dedicated practice. Begin with the shortest recommended duration, then extend the practice time as you progress.
Duration:
3 Minutes: Enhances circulation, blood chemistry, and blood stability. Increased blood circulation begins, distributing improved neuroendocrine secretions throughout the body.
7 Minutes: Brain patterns transition from the static of beta waves to calmer alpha waves, and ultimately to deeply relaxing delta waves. Simultaneously, the magnetic force around the body strengthens.
11 Minutes: The pituitary gland, glandular system, and nerves start to learn and adapt. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems adjust to the increased energy.
22 Minutes: Anxiety-inducing thoughts in the subconscious start to clear. Your three minds (negative, positive, and neutral) begin to work in harmony, leading to changes in mental integration. The number 22 represents infinity and grants mastery over the mental realm.
31 Minutes: Affects your entire mind and aura. Endocrinological and ethereal body chakra balance is achieved, with lasting effects throughout the day reflected in mood and behavior shifts.
Number of Days:
11 days: The number 11 symbolizes infinity in the material world and conquering the physical realm. It represents the initial step in breaking free from the entanglements of the mind.
40 days: Practicing the Kriya or mantra for 40 consecutive days helps break negative habits that hinder expansion.
90 days: A 90-day consecutive practice of the Kriya or mantra establishes a new habit in your conscious and subconscious mind, leading to profound change.
120 days: Committing to 120 consecutive days of Kriya or mantra practice confirms the new habit of consciousness. The positive effects of the Kriya become permanently integrated into your psyche.
1000 days: Practicing for 1000 days allows you to master the new habit of consciousness promised by the Kriya or mantra. Regardless of the challenge, you can rely on this new habit to support you.
To achieve a 40, 90, or 120-day Sadhana with a Kriya or meditation, start counting on the day you successfully complete the full duration of the exercises as prescribed.
