Re: First chakra

> "Sukhmani Kaur" <sukieclj

 

 

As a KY teacher, I use a bladder-kidney meridian kriya to wake up the first

chakra. I use a meridian approach because Chinese medicine is my background

through Shiatsu and herbs. I have no idea if my approach is "Kosher."

 

In , the Kidney and Bladder are the "lower" meridians along

with the large intestines. Bladder is strongly located on the sacrum and

along the sides of the backbone. going up and over the head (with another

meridian in the center of the line that goes up the head from the backbone).

I also associate large intestines with the downward motion of the bladder

meridian and with the lower back pain that is typical of first chakra

problems. (The Chinese don't talk about the grounded sense of being that

goes with the Indian first Chakra, rather purity is the issue with bladder

and getting rid of wasted energy is the issue with the large intestines.)

 

Do you think all of this is confusing the sense of the first chakra? The

kidney and small intestine meridians (not necessarily the organs) feel

closer to the second chakra energy along with the sex organs. So, it is a

bit confusing to use a bladder kidney kriya. But when I am teaching,

students don't analyze, they feel. Clearly differentiating between first

and second chakra does not arise as a question.

 

>From Gurrattan Kaur's response, I was not sure which meditation would be

appropriate. I personally have an off balance first chakra that is strong

enough. I know this because the right side of my body is strong. I exhibit

left brained behavior: I am a circular, wholistic thinker. The left side of

my body hurts and is weaker, gets injured etc. I presume the nerves cross

at the brain).

 

Can pranayama serve as a meditation? I know Sodarshan Chakra stimulates the

whole lower triangle. Can I do a more focused meditation for a balanced

first chakra? My second Chakra is balanced, but constricted.

 

I need to get Gururattan's book and maybe need to stay within a more

narrowly defined limits so I don't confuse other people in the group. I'll

get the other book in New Mexico. Please give me guidance, if my response

is inappropriate. I feel it is, but these are my real questions.

 

Sat Nam,

Ellen Madono (It looks as if it is appropriate to introduce myself as Gian

Kaur.)
