Becoming Crystal Clear
October 2, 1985
This kriya helps you deepen your understanding of yourself, leading to more authentic speech, actions and commitments. Get clear about who you are, so you can tell the world what you want and what you have to offer with complete confidence.
If you need to shorten the exercises of this set, do so proportionally, except for the Bouncing Ball exercise, which should always be 30 seconds.
