Kirtan Kriya is arguably the most studied and scientifically researched meditation in the tradition of Kundalini Yoga. It has been proven effective to improve cognition in clinical research studies by The Alzheimer’s Research and Prevention Foundation.
"Clinical research has shown that practicing Kirtan Kriya for just 12 minutes a day can improve cognition and activate parts of the brain that are central to memory."
*For additional research on Kirtan Kriya see The White Paper
"Kirtan Kriya, often referred to as SA TA NA MA meditation, is the most important meditation in Kundalini Yoga. It was one of the first meditations taught by Yogi Bhajan and remains today as a foundation meditation recommended for every student. Yogi Bhajan said that if you can do only one meditation, this is it. It does everything for you in the order that you need. It is your teacher. And as you practice it, you will come to realize that it is your best friend. Whatever you need at the moment, it will readjust and align you to bring balance into your mind and thus your life.
This meditation is given for everything from breaking habits to achieving emotional balance."

Why 40 days?
According to yogic philosophy, 40 days is the minimum amount of time it takes to experience the extended benefits of a particular meditation or kriya.
The 40 day journey is also an opportunity to develop a relationship with our meditative mind and our sense of self-discipline. As we experience the inevitable ups and downs of our mind throughout the 40 days, we learn to understand the value of our personal commitment, and that we can show up for ourselves despite the fluctuations of the mind, and ultimately creating the steadiness to navigate the fluctuations of life.

What to expect
We go live promptly at 7:30 am Pacific Time each morning.
You can expect a short 3-5 minute warmup exercise/warm up series or kriya before we tune in. This is usually followed by a short 5-10 min inspirational share from Manpreet. The Meditation itself is about 11 minutes long. We end the session with
a long Sat Nam.
