14J. Shortcuts and Changeups
Alice B. Clagett: My first few tries with Sat Kriya were right rough, I found, even though I was still in the flower of youth when I undertook the practice. Thus I advise my readers to ease into the technique a tiny bit at a time.

Shorten the Time. There is no need to start with a 30-minute practice as did I. If 30 seconds seems like a long time, then try the technique for 10 seconds. Follow your medical doctor’s advice as well. Only practice this technique if your doctor advises that your health warrants it.

Adjust the Posture. If you are physically challenged, you can make some adjustments in your practice of Sat Kriya and still enjoy its good effects. For instance, you do not have to do the pose while kneeling — You can be simply sitting in a chair, with the soles of your feet on the floor, your hands on your knees, spine erect, and muscles relaxed.

Change the Mantra. I feel you also need not use the mantra Sat Naam (which means “I am truth”), although that is a nice touch, and helps elevate a meditator’s frequency. I feel a person could substitute ‘A-men’ or ‘I am’ or whatever phrase represents the highest truth for them.
