I am currently training to be a Kundalini instructor and am also not familiar with crossing the forearms in Kirtan Kriya. I'm interested in knowing the intention behind it! Hopefully someone will come across this and explain. Thanks!

Thanks, bhagwati. I noticed that.

Shirley

Hello bhagwati

Could you please explain the importance of the forearms needing to be crossed as I have not seen this in the Kundalini books I have read.

Thank you

Maddy

Ah, so wonderful.

What pace is best for this meditation.

This meditation technique is great for beginners. focus less on the breath and more on the pace and constant repetition of the mantra. The breath will adapt.
