You are a very good teacher. Thank you for making Lahiri Mahasaya's teachings available without too much religiosity or mumbo jumbo.

Amazing. HRV saved my life. I was constantly in fight flight mode from a severely traumatic life, and that was the only thing that ever gave me relief (immensely and immediately). I will forever be grateful for your work Forrest. God bless you and I hope your channel becomes extremely popular so that everyone can benefit from your knowledge and experience. :)

[OmarJano]

Thank you for the content. I always love listening to Kriya videos!

[keepinspirationalivepreque]

Chanting om into each chakra and HRV have been a game changer to me. Thanks for the tips when we met in person, when doing timeline therapy on me. 🙏❤🙏

This is quite a beautiful video. How lucky are we. Quite thank you.

New Patreon member here! 🤚🏻 I look forward to breaking through the “glass ceiling” of meditation I’ve experienced for several years when I realized I’ve not continued to progress but could find no instruction about what to do about it. I’m so glad to have found you and this group of dedicated meditators! Thank you! I’m so grateful to be here! Woohoo! ❤️🙌🏼🙏🏻

Every time I listen to the same videos again, I hear different things. Not that you say different things. But I understand it better. Words become understood during practicing your guidance.

Thank you Forrest.

[manikshamik]

I have had all the three experiences. I never practiced Kriya Yoga. I think it happened to because of the Satyalok experience of Varanasi.

I am just blessed.

Thank You Forrest for making a video about the three knots. I was one of the 'patients' (suffering from ascension symptoms) that needed this video. While I got better in a few days the last time it happened, this time it has come back with a bang -- I have a constant headache/feels like energy rushing in the forehead area, elevated body temperature, my ears buzz all the time, I see strange energies even with my eyes open, etc. Your video came out at just the right time. And while many of these symptoms during ascension are not pleasant, your advice gives me much hope to see this as a kind of purging for better things to come. I would have given on this path long ago (just like I did several times before) if it wasn't for your videos. Your technical explanations helps one understand what is actually going on in the body instead of blaming different experiences in different meditation sessions on chance.

I have started feeling a strong magnetic pull in the medulla and the third eye and i was freaking out.. It's a little overwhelming.. After my meditation the word three knots came to mind and i found this video.. I'm so relieved and happy now.. Thank you so much Forrest.. I can't tell you how big a gift your videos are..

[lalitbhardwaj]

Forrest, you are amazing like always. I would like to compliment you for the great service you are doing for mankind. May Lord Shiva bless you.

[lestafrank]

So very helpful!!! Resonates with some of what I've been experiencing with it. Thank you SO VERY MUCH!

[juliakreutz]

I had the experience of the heart knot at Vipassana and the teacher did not know how to help me. It was waves delightful of energy for a long time. I was sitting incredibly still, and then it felt like a spring in a leak at my heart and I felt a pouring of anxiety.

[manjunathgangadharg]

Your experience is almost the same, which I shared with you, I was so happy listening to your experience. This video will help many. Thank you and you are blessed.

[InvisibleFeats]

Wonderful information. I'm wondering if you had these experiences prior to learning about them, or if you knew about them previously and were actively seeking them?

[MotoG-ry]

Excellent explanation sir, God bless you 🙏🌷💐

[thesparkoflight]

absolutely fascinating! and provides the inspiration to keep going! Your clarity and insight is so profoundly valuable! Thank you Forrest! God Bless you for these teachings. with love from across the pond

[dianecurran]

Beautifully explained, easily understandable, thank you Forrest. It feels like coming in through the backdoor. Experience of the sensations first, then deepening through practice. It is as if the door of the right hippocampus was already cracked open and the sensations happened of their own accord. The cake comes already partially baked before following a recipe. Something like that :)

Thank you Forrest! I had the very real spinning experience of my body spinning into the spinning room (wow!) last night and this morning was I was doing my Qigong practice (the very still parts) I all of a sudden saw the spiral in my spiritual eye and felt a similar but milder sensation to the spinning. So fascinating that you speak of exactly this in this video— and just so grateful to have you as a guide. Although I didn’t know it at the time of first experience, I can now definitely identify the experiences of 1st and 2nd Knots too. Thank you for making it all make sense — in the most simplistic and kindest way possible. You rock. Thank you Forrest 🫶🏽
