Yoga of Dreams and Sleep | Yoga Sutra 1.38 | The Kriya Yoga Podcast IS24

About this episode

This episode explores Yoga Sutra 1.38 and the practice of clarifying awareness through knowledge of dreams and sleep.

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, we explore Yoga Sutra 1.38 and the practice of clarifying awareness through knowledge of dreams and sleep. Building on the previous Preparation for Samadhi teachings from Sutras 1.33–1.37, we examine how serenity, breath awareness, balanced prana, inner sensitivity, sorrowless luminosity, and freedom from attachment prepare the practitioner to remain aware through waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. This episode also offers practical guidance for gently cultivating awareness during naps, shavasana, and dream contemplation, helping us recognize the witnessing presence that remains steady through all changing states of experience. - 🌟 Stay Connected & Deepen Your Practice If you’d like to participate in future live sessions, consider joining the Kriya Yoga Online Patreon Community or applying to the Kriya Yoga Apprenticeship Program. 📘 For continued inspiration and instruction, check out Ryan Kurczak’s latest book:An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice, available in hardcover and paperback on Amazon. 🧘‍♂️ Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author, authorized to teach in 2005 by Roy Eugene Davis, a…
