Rose Kriya is born from The Way of the Rose Temple, founded by Ishtara Rose in 2017,
where she has initiated Rose Priestesses into this rose lineage all over the world
and still offers many other rose temple audio courses
What is Kriya?
Pranayama is more than simply breath work, it is energy work that tunes the life force utilising breath amongst other things. Pranayama becomes Kriya when this is combined with mantra (affirmations and sound) certain bandhas (locks), and mudra. There maybe at times even some asana (movement) but unlike other yoga, that is not the focus. This activates the merkaba triangles (diamond and rose chrism) and kundalini, it awakens the ida and pingala (sun and moon) to balance in the energy field.
Combining breath, sound, posture and movement to raise kundalini in some way is the foundation of all yoga lineages, and of course most ancient spiritual practices worldwide. The dance and flow of spiritual energy is universal. Teachings with similarities to original kriya can be found throughout Asia (China, Japan, Tibet, Nepal) as well as Egyptian Temple teachings, American tribes, in Sufism, in Essene teachings, templar practices and secret knowledge, not to mention Shamanic methods around the world. Obviously each lineage or school has their own series of techniques refined according to their culture and environment.
At one time it was commonplace to have raised kundalini but humanity fell into the age of darkness and lost their divine powers (atlantis). Like many great ascetics worldwide who were advanced masters in kundalini, the ascended Himalayan Yogis became gatekeepers of the sacred arts.
One well known Indian Yogic Himalayan Kriya lineage is that of Lahiri Mahasaya who received Kriya teachings from the immortal Himalayan master Babaji, and he then passed them to many devotees who began their own organisations, one of which was the more well known one of Yogananda. Each had their own modifications, although often the core is the same, and they are usually shared in secrecy as initiation under vows.
Jesus was initiated into Kriya by the great immortal Babaji who still resides today in the Himalayas, whilst Mary Magdalene was initiated by Mataji, the feminine Babaji flame.
The essence & knowledge of the kriyas is very similar to ancient Egyptian & Essene Temple rites that came to Europe with Mary and her followers (such as cathars) and even later with the templars who took some of the teachings on.
What is Rose Kriya?
Rose Kriya is different to traditional kriya which you can learn elsewhere. Traditional kriya schools often follow their method in strict secretive ways (each school differs)or today the other extreme is happening with new commercial modalities sharing pranayam in ways that omit the sacred. Some key gurus who head some organisations are now being exposed for serious corruptions, most of them are led by men in masculine heavy ways. So rose kriya is a response to all this as a way to bring it into the feminine temples and maintain the sacred.
Rose Kriya has its roots in the goddess rose mary temple initiatory rites and so it is for those on the path of the goddess and rose which is about the feminine ways of working intuitively in self knowing and self listening in accordance with respecting the sacred - and so we are both adapting the kriyas for our unique self whilst at the very same time working with respect for the ancient 'science' of kriya technique - both.
While the term kriya traditionally refers to a specific yogic purification technique or action, this 'Rose Kriya' framework refers to the same high-vibrational energy alignment actions with specific bandhas, mudras, and so forth, taught in accordance with the tradition, and yet blended with intuition and other techniques including those received in meditation by Ishtara Rose, as well as with visual journeying and the way of the rose mysteries, to also give you your direct connection with your own guidance from higher energies and the self.
Therefore when we do Kriya in the way of the Rose we are balancing respect for ancient technique with working intuitively with self listening and self knowing alongside self responsibility: you are your guru yet respecting the true teacher at the same time.
When Kriya is followed in intuitive rose ways or when it is a technique received through the inner, when ancient kriya combines with journeying in the ways of the rose, it is then Rose Kriya and it is alchemical. It opens the Rose Chrism (through the auric white flame of Christed Krista Krishna consciousness) of the 33 vertebrae, changing cellular body structures into Crysta(lline) (crystal chalice, crystal skull) in gentle but fast ways. We do not get lost in complicated technique as the focus is direct transmission in sacred space with connection to your own higher self. Whether this practise resonates for you or not, it is requested that you have total respect for all or any sacred teachings and approaches.
Just like some ancient yogic lineages, and applicable to ancient spiritual traditions the world over, in ancient temples the virgin priestesses or marys communicated directly to God Goddess light source, without an intermediary. Sometimes a high priestess the 13th teacher would act as a guide whose role was to open a sacred space to initiate others (to gently empower, share techniques, hold space and transmit light as a channel) for priestesses to activate their own knowing and their own codes, to have their own direct connection within the self with their higher self.
From the circle of 13 (with high priestess the 13th teacher), each of the 12 would go onto hold their own circles as the 13th, and in this way the high priestess of any circle is both teacher and student. They serve Goddess, but actually it is more that they are one with Goddess and they were revered as 'Mers' as Goddess embodied, dedicated fully to embody this light 24/7.
This very sacred & holy temple path was one of sovereign empowerment, and it was a path revered because having a vibrant temple in a village was known to be an absolute necessity for the well being of the whole community.
Indeed, a true king or queen could only sit on a throne (be christed) with these Goddess' holy blessings, wearing a crown that symbolised this divinity from resultant risen kundalini. The ancient rites that I describe here are ancient Mary (MA-RE an ancient universal word) Goddess temple practises from Egypt, Mesopotamia, Essenes and many other ancient cultures who knew the power of the bee and the hive.
That most sacred path of the temple priestess has been misunderstood and demonised and today both the divine feminine and the sacred continues to be further attacked and misaligned in guises masked as sustainable, liberating or spiritual. Today the priestess path continues to be difficult to walk, often being ridiculed or slandered, so she becomes reclusive and has to hide it, or the other extreme may be that priestess path & temple is paraded & marketed, filled with superficiality, dogma and consumerism, that misunderstands the holy depth & true essence.
And then it continues to have the waters muddied by being tarred by the public with the same brush as infiltrated or dark practices and teachers within secretive orders (or indeed the new age) that stole her ancient rites for their own gain or for mal-intent. Many priestesses can get also caught in ungrounded spiritual approaches that are well meaning but bring disassociation or problems from energy rising too fast without proper holding.
Rose Kriya thus aims to bring an ancient clear clean grounded foundational structure to anchor high energy kundalini work into body, in temple, as part of this holy rose temple lineage.
You do not have to be on the priestess path to do rose kriya, but it has that energy behind it that is about reclaiming the divine feminine to bring into balance with respect for the divine masculine, restoring the sacred in the holy temple of your body and life
Rose Mysticism = Feminine emPowerment
Kriya & pranayam are an integral part of rose kriya, and yet this is the path of the rose mysteries.
Rose light journeying and intuitive listening are the main pillars of the rose mystical path.
When activating your rose chrism through the christos white flame of crystalline consciousness, bridging human and higher self together within one's fields, you develop self listening and self knowing. In Rose Kriya, this happens by journeying for direct transmission and higher self connection, then it becomes your own unique path, you receive your own guidance and messages.
WHEN ONE BECOMES SOVEREIGN IN THIS WAY and restores the inner temple, we can see and respect the true & aligned teachings, symbols and teachers as it/we are all one (as well as see the ones that feel off key). Many sacred symbols or Goddesses are associated with those who took them and inverted or corrupted them and we are reclaiming their original light. Likewise many yoga organisations and gurus were corrupted and now being exposed for cult behaviours and abuse, but there are of course true yogis and spiritual teachings and teachers out there too and we reclaim that original light too. We do not let the false gurus or false inverted teachings and symbols take us away from the original light symbols (we do not tar the true ones with the same brush as the false ones). We are here to see this shadow and then restore back to light, (from 'gu' to 'ru'), to recognise & respect the true teachers & teachings through the empowerment of our inner guru, our own knowing, and our own relationship with God and our Light within.
We each hold these teachings and codes within our own inner wisdoms and field and can access through higher self guidance. At times we all need a guide or a container to help us do this, to help us activate our codes, to radiate and transmit the frequency or to share technique; but without giving our power away, and instead with compassion & sacred respect for both the self and for the other, recognising the mirrors and projections, taking empowered full self responsibility for one's own field, knowing always that ultimately the choice to receive or not is yours.
The role of any healer, teacher, guide is actually not to fix, save, heal - but rather to open the space to empower, to reconnect you to your own source and knowing and higher self. It is your own inner Light (God) that does the healing. Likewise, the role of any student is not to look for another outside to fix, save, heal but as a space to sit into your own knowing and direct connection with source.
Therefore when I teach I encourage you to take full self responsibility for your field, and I do not save, fix or heal. It is not a path of quick fixes, it is a sacred journey, although miracles and healing certainly happen along the way, but the focus is to bring you into your own power and aligned with your divine light.
Rose Kriya shares and transmits the flame
with teachings and gentle guidance to take you into your own knowing.
We are working with ancient Kriyas & Pranayam by Babaji and master brothers and sisters of Himalayas, as an ancient mary priestess temple practice. We are bringing it back into the sacred feminine temples.
Rose Kriya brings many colours and especially the blues and whites of Babaji, Krishna and Mary. But the symbolism of rose kriya being a part of the path of pink rose is that pink is a colour that is a blend of both the red and the white. This represents the realms of the heart, unification and oneness, love as the only truth.
In Rose Kriya we are uniting two aspects in so many ways: male and female, heaven and earth, following clear precise teachings and following one's own intuition to adapt teachings to self, respecting true teachers but being your own teacher.
Restoring the feminine within ancient yogic practices
A spotlight on Tummo...
Tummo is A practise used by many yogis. In Tibetan the word means 'fierce woman' (Goddess of heat) as well as 'inner fire'. The ancient breath technique applies bandhas (locks), breath, visualisation etc to direct prana and 'winds' into central channel for
-
tantric bliss
-
building fire in the naval (to generate heat to stay warm in cold mountains)
-
to burn off karmas (pain, stress, trauma, lack, vitcim mode, ego, ancestral patterns) of life as one enters higher states of evolution
-
go into deep meditation realms and remain there for some time
-
connect body and mind
-
to bring super immunity (better than any supplements)
-
for huge general spiritual advancement
-
for relaxation & well being
-
and more
In mid life many women experience a form of tummo naturally through menopausal hot flushes. Yes! Hot flushes can be used as tummo. Here is a natural medicine that your body brings you, for so many benefits and fore mostly as a spiritual preparation for next life transitional stage slowly advancing towards the passing of death. like menstruation, if its medicine is truly harnessed as sacred, then Menopause can be an ascension key. you really are a goddess.
