I don't seem to completely comprehend the difference between kriya yoga and Svadhyaya. I guess svdhyaya is more focused on the "how" than just the introspection.
Main suggestions we're reading or listening to meaningful to 'spiritual' discourses.
keeping a diary of actions that we were not proud of, so rereading brings awareness about ourselves.
Swadhyaya means self study. To make it simple for me I see that observation and awareness of the activity of thought is necessary to understand what the "I" thought projects. My kundalini yoga teacher always says that learning that I am not my thoughts was one of her best light bulb moments of yoga training.
That probably does not mean that one separate the "I" and the other thoughts. Basically that is what is happening in the mind and knowing this is the first insight. But going further into the subject means keeping the awareness that "I" is itself a thought or the primary thought at sets the stage for more thoughts.
