Griffin’s spiritual training techniques included: flexibility of attention, breath, insight, mind-training involving concentration, discrimination, mantra and meditation.

Griffin also taught that the human form consists of not one, but four interlinked bodies: the physical body of flesh, the subtle body of energy, the causal body of mind, and the supra-causal body of Universal Consciousness.

Sadhana refers to everything an aspirant does on the spiritual path in furtherance of reaching Liberation.
