Building Confidence Through Meditation

Question

I’m a beginner at meditation. The practice of Hong Sau has made me far more calm and peaceful than before. However, my self esteem still remains low. How can I build confidence through meditation? Do advanced kriya techniques help in overcoming emotional vulnerability?

Answer

If you continue your meditation practice with regularity you will find that your self confidence will increase. This is because your practice of meditation is putting you in touch with who you really are at the core of your being, a child of God. Daily experience of this reality will gradually remove feelings of lack, and replace them with feelings of peace, love, and joy. Hong Sau will do this as well as the other techniques of the path of Kriya Yoga — Aum, and Kriya proper.
