[ Kriya ]
If the action sinks deeper than four dimensions – physical, mental, emotional and energy action, then we call it kriya. A Kriya is an inner energy process that utilizes the breath. The breath can be used as a tool to do many things with the body and the mind.

Kriya and karma both mean action, but karma is that kind of action which will leave residual impact upon the system; that means, the memory or chemistry of that action remains. Kriya is a type of action which imprints itself on a completely different dimension and begins to dismantle the karmic impact or karmic residue that has accumulated in the system.
