Kirtan Kriya - Day 1 - Master Key to the Door of You

Welcome to day 1 of the 40 day Kirtan Kriya journey. Kirtan Kriya is a classical yogic meditation that weaves together sound (mantra), movement (mudra), breath, and focused attention. Practiced consistently, it is known to support mental clarity, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation—while strengthening the bridge between the hemispheres of the brain. In this practice, we chant the mantra Sa Ta Na Ma, moving the fingers in a precise sequence that stimulates different areas of the brain through the fingertips. From both yogic understanding and modern neuroscience, this coordinated rhythm of sound, touch, and awareness is shown to: Support memory and cognitive function Calm stress and anxiety Balance the glandular and nervous systems Cultivate steadiness, presence, and inner resilience Forty days is a powerful threshold in yogic science. It’s long enough to interrupt old mental patterns and establish a new relationship to the mind. Even a short daily practice, when done consistently, can create meaningful change.

Wrists on the knees, arms and elbows straight, start with Hands in Gyan Mudra. Meditate at the brow point. Chant Saa, Taa, Naa, Maa in full voice. With each sound, alternate through four mudras: On Saa, touch the first (Jupiter) finger On Taa, touch the second (Saturn) finger On Naa, touch the third (Sun) finger On Maa, touch the fourth (Mercury) finger As you chant, imagine the energy of each sound moving down through the Crown Chakra, and then out through the Third Eye Point. Project the sounds to Infinity. Continue. 1:40- Whisper: Continue the mudra sequence while chanting in a strong whisper. 3:20- Vibrate Silently: Continue the mudra sequence while chanting silently, mentally vibrating the mantra. 1:40- Whisper: Continue the mudra sequence while chanting with a strong whisper. 1:40- Chanting Aloud: Continue the mudra sequence while chanting out loud. 1:00- Finishing: Inhale deeply and suspend the breath as long as comfortable—up to a minute—relaxing it smoothly to complete 1 minute of absolute stillness and silence. Then, stretch the hands up as far as possible and spread the fingers wide. Stretch the spine and take several deep breaths. Relax. Comments: Each repetition of the mantra takes 3 to 4 seconds. This is the cycle of Creation. From the Infinite comes life and individual existence. From life comes death or change. From death comes the rebirth of consciousness to the joy of the Infinite through which compassion leads back to life.In Kirtan Kriya you first chant out loud, then chant with a strong whisper, then mentally vibrate the mantra. To complete Kirtan Kriya you reverse the sequence, continuing silent with chanting, then whispering, then chanting out loud.
