This kriya is a walking meditation.  It is called Charan Japa, meaning “repeat with the feet.” It is an age-old method in which a couple creates a rhythm and a frequency between them. It is very bonding and healing.  It is especially beneficial when a couple is expecting.

According to the teachings of Kundalini Yoga, the soul enters the body on the 120th day of pregnancy. This time onward makes for a very impactful time to practice walking meditation such as Charan Japa.

The idea is to walk side by side with your partner, establishing a rhythm and frequency between you. This creates a sense of trust and bonded consciousness, which during pregnancy, is said to nurture the soul of the child.  The couple’s own self is improved, too.

If you do not have a partner, you can practice on your own or with a loved one.

 “You are the teacher; you are the first introduction. Can you deny it? What a mother teaches a child in the womb cannot be learned on the Earth. That’s why I asked you, after 120 days, just to meditate. Soul has entered. Walk and meditate, Charan Japa Kriya.” ~Yogi Bhajan, June 28, 1994
