Paramahansa Yogananda: Key to Meditation - Krishna’s Advice for Successful Practice of Yoga

The dividing line between the upper darkness and the lower material light of the half-closed and half-opened eyes is called “the horizon of superconsciousness.” A person meditating with closed eyes may fall asleep; trying to meditate with open eyes he may be thwarted by the stubborn visions of matter. That is why the yogi is advised to avoid the total darkness of closed eyes and the full light of opened eyes. Instead he concentrates his vision on the superconscious horizon.
If a person deeply concentrates on this horizon at the point between the eyebrows, where darkness and light meet, without straining the eyes, he refocuses the two currents in the two eyes into the original single current, and gradually learns to penetrate through the spiritual eye into the superconscious beatitude.

THE SRF LESSONS
The SRF Lessons teach you how to live a balanced and successful life by awakening your connection to the Divine. The SRF Lessons are a transmission of sacred knowledge that will uplift and transform all aspects of your life: a progressive, home-study program teaching meditation techniques and the essence of spirituality handed down through a renowned lineage of yoga masters - Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, Swami Sri Yukteswar, and Paramahansa Yogananda - and available to you.
The Lessons were originated by Paramahansa Yogananda. At the core of his teachings is a powerful system of meditation techniques: the Kriya Yoga science of meditation. This ancient science of the soul-to which millions have been introduced by Autobiography of a Yogi and other books by him-provides powerful methods for awakening higher spiritual consciousness and the inner bliss of divine realization.
From the very first Lesson, you receive definite methods by which you can experience the benefits of meditation immediately.
While building a solid foundation for deep meditation, you will learn three powerful techniques taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as necessary first steps in the comprehensive spiritual science of Kriya Yoga: Energization Technique and Exercises, Hong-Sau Technique of Concentration and Aum Technique of Meditation.

When the yogi learns super-consciously to contact his soul, and to transcend his breath and body, he finds the Infinite reflected in his being. All finer subconscious or superconscious experiences take place without the consciousness of breath. Therefore, when in ecstatic meditation, the yogi learns to remain in his soul without the mortal breath that causes rebirths, and when he can retain the unity with his breathless, God united soul When his consciousness reenters the physically active breathing state,he is spoken of as one who has liberated himself.

This living Guru told me in my sleep that ‘you are moving closer to light’ . I had been meditating using SRF techniques last 2 years and was seeing white light during Jyothi Mudra. But ignored it initially and then a KZbin video explained . I wondered if I have started seeing third eye. I asked Guru in prayer and that’s what he answered. What an amazing journey I am having with this practice and the Guru. Can’t wait to make much progress

Why do we seek? Is there any reason to seek a better future if we're fully comfortable and content with the way our body feels now? When thoughts slow down, you may notice that there is discomfort in the body, which may show up in a myriad of ways: pain, anxiety, anger, or any other sensation or emotion... This is part of the reason that we get addicted to thought- because it’s an immediately available way to avoid or try to fix the way our bodies feel. We won't be able to rest in presence for very long if we keep ignoring or avoiding discomfort. Rather, we'll continue to follow thoughts about past and future... We'll keep trying to escape... So, how do we bring direct attention to the energies of our body? The first step is to acknowledge that you are feeling something. We tend to acknowledge emotions and sensations first through the mind... We might think, "I’m angry," or "I’m afraid of what might happen," or we may simply notice that something is bothering us... But we can't feel emotions or sensations through thinking. These thoughts are narratives or labels for how we feel. They are not the actual energies themselves. For example, if you have the thought "I have a stomachache," that thought is a label for something that is actually happening in your body... In order to actually feel or experience the stomachache directly, you would have to bring attention down into the stomach area and feel it without thoughts on it... The same is true for all emotions and sensations. Once you acknowledge that you feel something or have been triggered/activated by someone or some event, bring attention very gently to the body where you feel the actual emotion or sensation... With your attention there, feel into the sensation or emotion, and see if you can notice the peripheral space around it at the same time. Let the emotion or sensation just hang there in that open space, without trying to change, neutralize, or get rid of it... It is common to want to change, neutralize, or get rid of bodily energies. Just notice any tendency to want to do these things. This is resistance at work, and trying to stop that resistance from happening is simply adding more resistance. Bear in mind that we give power to words, pictures, and bodily energies by turning awareness away from them. And we diminish their power by turning toward them and remaining aware of them until they fade naturally. That one simple understanding, if turned into a daily practice, is highly transformative.

[@brianpaul3331]

I’m very uncomfortable with the Atlanta branch because they have gates closing it off. Looks like a prison and not welcoming. They also constantly ask for donations which sure telling people where they can donate is fine but Yogananda and SRF has always been big on not begging and trusting God will provide

[@alexdinero8284]

[@Asegh]

Have you ever heard of the Akashic record? It completely correlates with physics zero point field. If thoughts are essentially electrical with neural firing in your nervous system. And electricity is not created or destroyed, but just changes quantum form. Then you’d have to understand that consciousness can never be destroyed. And if you can change your vibrational ionic frequency that is proven by the double slit experiment and physics. You would have to acquiesce that we are in control of ionic trajectory in our corpus. Knowing these indisputable facts. You could create an electro magnet in your spine, and draw all the BTUs of electricity into your brain. Charging the ampacity of your bodily prison, to its complete and full capacity. And if you could understand the vibrational frequency of thought, you could tune yourself into the radio station or frequency of every idea that is ever been conceived in the history of time. That would be omniscience or Akashic record. A yogi will stand unshaken amist the crash of breaking worlds. A consciousness cannot be created or destroyed. You’ve always existed and always been a part of the Higher Power(however it has shown itself to you with the perfection you’ve experienced God your life because God will speak to you in the language of your heart). it would be blasphemous to say that you are God. But it would be completely correct to say that there is only God, and that you have never existed and only the false conceptualization that you ever apart from the Whole. God is closer than hands and feet. God is the intelligence behind your thought your intellect and your conceptualization, is the strength behind your strength is the power behind your will. When you realize that you will not cut yourself off from the fountainhead of your strength.
