Energization Exercises
The Energization Exercises are a series of standing exercises developed by Paramahansa Yogananda to help prepare one for meditation. They are practised individually or in a group before meditation.
Meditation Service
The meditation service format includes periods of silent meditation and periods of devotional chanting and also includes Paramahansa Yogananda’s healing technique.

Additionally, there are video talks available on YouTube by some of the monks and nuns of SRF.
Chanting
Chanting with deep concentration and devotion draws the devotee inward to the altar of God’s presence. A Cosmic Chants booklet is available to learn the words to chants.
Prayer
During the last portion of the meditation, time is spent in prayer for those who are in need of healing and for world peace.
