Pranic Sensitivity and Surrender Vs. Effort | The Kriya Yoga Podcast IS18

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast, Ryan Kurczak sits down with Bryan Crigler for a grounded, wide-ranging conversation on what it actually looks like to build a mature Kriya Yoga practice over time. Bryan shares his winding spiritual path—from early curiosity, martial arts, pranayama, and psychedelic exploration, to discovering Kriya Yoga as a steady, embodied way of realization. Together, Ryan and Bryan explore how disciplined daily practice evolves into something natural and enjoyable, and how surrender, curiosity, and consistency shape long-term progress. Topics discussed in this episode include: • Developing pranic sensitivity and body awareness through breath and attention • The role of imagination in working skillfully with pranayama and subtle awareness • Navigating plateaus, distractions, and shifting expectations in meditation • The difference between peak experiences and stable inner development • Psychedelics and spirituality, and why steady practice offers deeper integration • How meditation naturally reshapes lifestyle choices, relationships, and habits • Working with surrender vs. effort in advanced stages of practice • The practical value of the yamas and niyamas beyond moral rules • Creating less outer drama to support deeper inner stillness Throughout the conversation, Bryan reflects on how sustained practice gradually raises the baseline of awareness, allowing meditation to remain accessible even on difficult days. Ryan adds context from lineage teachings, emphasizing patience, embodiment, and fidelity to practice over chasing experiences. This episode is especially valuable for practitioners who are past the beginner phase and are learning how Kriya Yoga integrates into daily life, relationships, and long-term spiritual maturity.
