In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, please enjoy a recording from our November monthly lesson offered to our "Journal of a Kriya Yoga Teacher" Patreon members. Here we discuss the obstacle of fear.  Fear prevents us from going deeper into our meditation, or making positive changes in our spiritual life.  Fear is a reality, but not a defining factor of who we are. Once this is realized, we can be free of its influence.  This talk is based off the writing in my new book, An Essential Guide to Kriya Yoga Practice. Now available in hardcover on Amazon.  Your host, Ryan Kurczak, is a Kriya Yoga meditation teacher and author. He was authorized to teach Kriya Yoga in 2005, by Roy Eugene Davis, a direct student of Paramahansa Yogananda.
