Very brief, less than a second.

It's called Omkar kriya.

The pause is used to "knock" each chakra. You can visualize knocking the chakra as the breath passes up through it.

What do you mean knock the chakras? I think I see you what mean, instead of just breathing through the chakras, the pause is like pressing each chakra, resonating it fully before moving through to the others

If you ever played the video game Spartan total warrior, when you go to the shrine to heal the character, you have to hold the x button until the meter above the shrine fully completes in order for your health to flood back, I intuitively thought about that in terms of pausing the breath at each chakra, except I'm not pausing to heal, I'm pausing to fully saturate that chakra with prana. Is that what you meant and is that a good analogy?

Imagine it's like hitting a tuning fork or a xylophone with a mallet.

Visualize yourself doing that with each chakra.

@Leo Gura

Last night I practiced 30 minutes of Kriya Yoga pranayama as described in Kriya Yoga Exposed by Satana Gamana. The technique involves mentally chanting "Om" while focusing awareness on the third eye, traditionally 6 repetitions on the inhale and 6 on the exhale. I modified the pacing so that each breath cycle lasted approximately 30 seconds, slowly drawing the breath into a continuous Om vibration.

rather than one smooth pull, I found I could sip roughly 15 micro-breaths within a single inhale.

At some point the experience dissolved entirely. I fell into a deep void, not sleep though because there was no transition. Just pure empty awareness, I snapped back awake at 1:22 am. Shit was wild.

@ExploringReality that sounds so interesting.

I'm started kriya this year and I wanna switch to the Supreme Pranayama. Any chance we could talk about optimizng practices in PM?

Thank you. That's a cleaner way of putting it. Does the sound of each chakra being hit have its own frequency, sound and note while the other chakras are being hit having their own sound and ring. Is it like building itself into a full cord of activated energy by the time the breath completes it's journey?

I don't do that personally. But that is how it is traditionally taught.

I thought Leo would announce the european retreat first before you would apply for it…

Thats a good example how proactive people get shit done. I snoozed and loosed. (Lost would not rhyme)

So it's safe to mess around and try different techniques loosely without following the traditional methods?

You didn't loosed. There is still room to apply.

Don't be such a doomer

I am in the middle of processing every candidate who emailed me to be part of the retreat.

I will be emailing each of you back individually over the next week.

There are more candidates than available spots, so not everyone will be able to attend the first retreat, but you can be on the wait-list for future retreats. The European retreat wait-list is already half full.

If anyone else wants to be on the European wait-list, email me.

Hey @Leo Gura

Regarding the message you sent last week, I hope it's okay if I send this here, since your inbox is likely overflowing with PMs. I received your email last week on 04/30 requesting more information from me, and I emailed back the same day, responding briefly, as you requested, to the 8 questions you asked.   

I’ve got the funds, and being of sound mind and body, I approve this message 

I am still awaiting an email with a link to make the $200 payment to receive a Zoom invite. I am seriously interested in attending the retreat. Thank you so much for everything. I know you have a lot on your plate, and I would appreciate your help here or via PM when you have a moment.

Anyone else excited.  

I really hope it could be at a airbnb in the desert... 

Vegas hotel conference room or some Owen Cook style location sounds very not ideal. After tripping it is so much better to be in nature or at least outside. Much more secure too.

Or you can spend the night in the many legal brothels available across Nevada
