Kriyas & Complete Experiences ~ Shinzen Young

Shinzen talks about kriyas as a phenomena that can come up for some people during formal meditation. He describes the various kinds of kriyas from the most gentle to the most extreme. He answers the most common questions students ask him who are experiencing this phenomena: 1) Am I going crazy and is this safe? 2) Should I suppress or go with those movements? 3) Why is it happening ans what does this mean? Shinzen talks about how to optimally work with kriyas and goes on to say that it is important not to develop cravings and/or aversions with regard to them - whether experiencing them or not!
