Energization Exercises

Paramhansa Yogananda created the Energization Exercises in 1916 as a technique for drawing cosmic energy into the body. Learn some of the exercises, and the principles behind them, in the articles below. We recommend that you read the articles in sequence in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the technique.

"The more aware you are of the flow of energy, the more you can direct that energy by will power not only to the body, but toward anything that you do - toward your work, toward creative inspiration, toward God in meditation, and in every aspect of your life. All success depends ultimately on energy. Energy is really the differentiating factor between genius and mediocrity. So these exercises are much more than just physical. They're the cornerstone of Yogananda's whole system of teaching, and, in fact, of all spiritual progress."
—Swami Kriyananda, The Art and Science of Raja Yoga
