Kriya for Divine Strength

May 12, 1992

Real strength does not come from the physical body, but from the spark of source that animates it. When the divine, or the soul, fully inhabits it, the physical form has the strength to do what is required and bear up under any circumstances. All moral failings could even be described as a basic lack of vitality; if we had the required strength in the moment, we would do the right thing. Invite your soul to dwell fully in your body with this kriya and build divine strength to live your highest consciousness.
