Dear Kkserene,<\/p>\n

Paramhansa Yogananda\u2019s path of Kriya Yoga contains many techniques of meditation and ways of making changes your attitudes and the way you live your life in every moment of every day.<\/p>\n

As far as the chakras are concerned, practicing Kriya Yoga is not so much a matter of sending pranic energy to<\/i> them, but rather purifying the chakras by sending prana or life-force through<\/i> them, thus allowing them to function fully, as they were designed to function, as part of a direct inner pathway to freedom and oneness with God.<\/p>\n

If you wish to learn these techniques through Ananda Sangha, we will be happy to help you do that. It is highly advisable to learn about teachings, techniques, and the path Kriya Yoga<\/a> directly from qualified Kriya Yoga teachers, rather than indirectly, or perhaps even incorrectly, from something like the internet or YouTube. Please contact this website, which is a part of Ananda Sangha in India for guidance on how to do exactly that. https:\/\/anandaindia.org\/learn-kriya-yoga\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[],"ask_the_experts":{"question":"
