Raising Kundalini & Tuning In

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

Tuning in sweeps away the rubble of normal every day life.

Tuning in as we do it for kundalini yoga is actually a kriya. It’s the first

kriya we do.

It’s not just the particular repetition of several different sounds in order to

create

some sort of bogus affect, tuning in actually through chanting the mantra "Ong

Namo

Guru Dev Namo" is a particular kriya which opens up all of the centers of the

body, all

of your chakras (energy centers). This is kind of important because we do

Kundalini

Yoga which is all about raising the energy up the spine.

 

THE ADI MANTRA

 

To center yourself before a set of Kundalini Yoga we chant the Adi Mantra at

least 3

times. Adi means the first or primal; Mantra is the creative projection of the

mind

through sound. This mantra is the first creative action. It centers you into the

higher

self and reminds your lower minds that it is not your ego that will practice or

teach

Kundalini Yoga. It is an invitation to your higher self to take the helm and

guide the

course of the experience. Technically it is the linking mantra for the GOLDEN

CHAIN.

The golden chain is the inner spark of Kundalini that is passed person to

person;

teacher to Student; guru to teacher; cosmos and God to guru. By chanting this

and

linking, the exercises and meditations that you practice are guided by your

higher

consciousness and the collective energy and consciousness of teachers that have

brought this opportunity to you. It makes you very receptive and sensitive to

the

message of your body, mind and intuition.

 

How to Recite:

 

Sit in an easy pose with your spine erect. Press both palms together at the

center of the

chest with the fingers straight up. Press the second joint of the thumbs tightly

against

the sternum at the level of the 5th-6th ribs - about nipple level. Concentrate

at the brow

point (where the eyebrows and top of the nose meet). Inhale deeply and chant the

words as you exhale. Chant the entire mantra on one long breath, or take a very

slight

inhale after NAMO. The sound DEV is chanted a minor third higher than the other

sounds. The gentle pressure created by the sound increases like a gradually

growing

wave on DEV.

 

THE MANTRA:

 

 

 

The Sound of Ong is created in the inner chambers of the sinuses and upper

palate. It

is made with all the air coming through the nose. The mouth is open so that the

cavity of

the mouth acts to enhance the resonance of the sound. It is the "ng" sound that

is

emphasized. The first part of NAMO is short and rhymes with "hum". The "oh"

sound is

held much longer. The first syllable of the word GURU is pronounced as in the

Word,

"good". The second syllable, "ru", has a sound that rhymes with the word "true."

The

word DEV rhymes with "save."
