Alla comes to Retreats in Sochi from Marbella, Spain. Alla had been searching for her spiritual path for a few years, studying different practices. Wanting to get a deeper understanding of pranayamas, Alla participated in the Imram Kriya seminar.
“When I got there, I didn’t understand anything at all. I was sitting there thinking, what am I even doing here and how would I even do these practices? I was not sure if I would have time for this. But somewhere inside, in my Soul, I knew that I had to do them. This is the way, the true way. It wasn’t hard at all. You realise that there is a lot to do, but when you sit down, suddenly you have all the energy you need. I think when you come to a seminar, Master gives you that energy.
As for 42 Kriyas, when I started practicing 42 Kriyas… All the techniques — 42 Kriyas — are great for your health. Especially for women, because the whole lymphatic system starts to work really well. The most interesting thing is that the wrinkles disappear, you look younger, you look better. There is one Kriya that concentrates on the face. I used to do facebuilding. When I started doing 42 Kriyas, I realized, this is it! It’s practically the same, but so much better. While I used to inject Botox or undergo certain treatments, I’ve given up on them completely now. Because now I see that I don’t need them. Your spine becomes soft. You realise that you are getting flexible, that you are really getting new energy.
Hatha yoga or some other yoga you do is also good because your body gets soft too. It’s just that there you work more on the physical plane. And Kriya yoga works both on physical and energy planes. Internally, you start feeling better. You develop an inner core. It really fills you up and you feel it.
There were significant changes. I was wasting a lot of my energy on idle talk. To begin with, I was drinking, smoking and partying. I had a very vibrant social life. Since the first seminar I quit drinking, I quit smoking, I don’t go to parties anymore. My social life has changed completely. Basically, everything has changed. My relationship with my husband has changed a lot. We stopped having these mood swings, constant arguments and all that. Everything became smooth. My kid now, if I haven’t practised for a couple of days, reminds me to practice. He is also coming to the Retreat and I think that he will eventually become engaged in the practices as well. Things have changed a lot with and my environment. I’m now coming across people who are much calmer. Things have become much more positive.
I don’t even understand life without practice right now. It has become a part of my life. If I don’t practice, and 2 or 3 days goes without practising, I still think about it all the time in my head. When I don’t practice, there is no wholeness.
When I first saw Master… He gave off such magical energy that you just became so feminine and smooth. When you see Master, you feel an inner peace. Master is accessible to us. We come to the retreat, we can communicate with him, talk to him, have a discussion. Now, if there is something important in my life, I always ask Master how he sees it. This is a unique opportunity.”

Affirmations are concise statements, often referred to as “thought forms” or “pass words,” that, when repeated, can reprogramme the subconscious mind. This method provides a way to reach and influence the subconscious. Positive affirmations impact the brain and our entire structure at the DNA level, offering a powerful opportunity for personal transformation in the way you envisage.
In my view, affirmations elevate individuals.
It’s crucial to grasp how these phrases, by embedding themselves in the subconscious, can shape our destiny, given that it is the subconscious mind that largely governs our lives. There is a saying: “Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true.” For instance, in striving to achieve certain desires, you might begin repeating specific affirmations. However, if your circumstances or understanding change as these desires start to manifest, the energetic processes you’ve set in motion will continue until the desire is fulfilled. This conflict can result in certain subconscious programmes being blocked. This is why it’s important to choose affirmations thoughtfully and carefully.
For affirmations to be effective, they must be precisely tailored to your needs. When crafting affirmations, it is important to use the present tense and phrase them as if your desire has already been fulfilled.
It’s important that your intentions come from your heart. You should sincerely believe that what you affirm is possible and feel it deeply within yourself rather than merely repeating words mechanically. If you say one thing but feel another, it’s the feeling that will prevail, not the words. For example, I feel fearlessness right now because I am fearless. This is what you affirm and feel in every part of your being. The affirmation should resonate within you invoking a profound agreement with what you are stating. If the affirmation feels uncomfortable or meaningless, it’s likely not something you truly need.
It seems unwise to embed phrases like “I want a lot of money” or “I have a lot of money” into the subconscious. Instead, it’s better to focus on becoming a successful person by cultivating qualities such as willpower, knowledge, wisdom, and fearlessness. The desired outcomes will naturally follow. We must awaken the qualities that have been given to us from on high.
If you want to embed something in your subconscious, the initial word when crafting an affirmation must be “together,”followed by your desire, which is a pass word, and sealed with “now.” This structure is vital.
There’s a film titled “Formula of Love.” It would seem that love transcend formulas. This experience goes beyond any form. Yet, to reach this understanding, a kind of formula can be helpful, particularly for those who struggle to love themselves. For instance, you might tell yourself every morning and evening, “I accept myself as I am right now.” This mindset and inner state of acceptance are where spiritual practice begins.
It’s crucial that your affirmations resonate deeply within your consciousness. Sometimes, the subconscious can create internal blocks. For example, when you say “I want,” your subconscious mind might say “I don’t want.”
If you reiterate affirmations in a “beta” state, which is an ordinary state, when beta rhythms prevail in the brain, your mind, as well as your personality, will resist. I could affirm, “I am strong,” but my personality counters it with doubts,”Strong? Oh c’mon, you can’t even stand up for yourself.” I could affirm, “I am rich,” but my mind resists, “Rich, you say? You have hardly enough to keep body and soul together!” This is an ongoing struggle. For every plus there is always a minus. It’s important to adopt an optimistic perspective and find the positive in everything.
For affirmations to resonate deeply within our consciousness, it’s best to use them when the brain transitions to other frequencies, entering the alpha state or deeper. Therefore, it’s advisable to reiterate affirmations during or just after waking up or while falling asleep.
For optimal results, I recommend recording your affirmations and listening to them through headphones during the deeper phases of sleep or the transitional stage between wakefulness and sleep. This borderline state provides an excellent opportunity to reprogramme the subconscious mind. Even when you lapse into sleep, your superconscious and unconscious minds continue to absorb the messages. You begin to feel a shift from within, marking a significant stage in your life. However, always pay close attention to the content of your affirmations and choose your words with care.
