Venus Kriyas are powerful yogic techniques for partners that utilize the male and female polarities that exist in all of us.
Practice of Venus Kriyas can help to establish balance in a relationship, allow you the opportunity to connect with and support one another’s higher self, and develop the experience of Oneness between the two of you. The focus stays at the heart, projecting love and caring, with the highest good for both partners.
Before you begin, follow the guidelines on How to Practice Venus Kriyas.
Since the interplay of energies in Venus Kriyas demands a higher level of focus and self-mastery, they are not considered a beginner’s practice, and should be done only by experienced Kundalini Yoga practitioners.
Before you begin your practice, tune-in by chanting the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
How to chant the mantra Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo
Sit in Easy Pose with your spine straight. Press your palms together in Prayer Pose at the center of the chest, sides of the thumbs pressed against the sternum. With your eyes closed, focus your concentration at the Third Eye Point located between the eyebrows at the root of the nose, about a half inch under the skin. Inhale deeply and as you exhale chant Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo, on one breath. The sound Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. If you cannot chant it all on one breath, take a short breath after Ong Namo. Repeat the mantra three times. The meaning of Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo is: I call on the creative infinite consciousness of the universe. I call on the divine wisdom within me.
Hands in Lotus Mudra
Sit in easy pose across from your partner, looking into their eyes. Form your hands into a lotus—all the fingers are spread with the hands cupped and only your little fingers and the sides of your palms touch. The partner embodying the male polarity suspends their little fingers under the little fingers of the female-embodying partner, but the fingers of the partners DO NOT touch. This makes a heart lotus. Through the eyes, look into the soul, the heart of your partner.
