Swami and the chakras

[Guest guest]

Namaste Eric: It is important to take the advice of a qualified

teacher you trust, and work with them. If you have faith in your

teacher, and you receive conflicting advice, you have 2 choices:

ignore it, or, carefully analyze, and / or practice each, then make an

informed choice.

I suggest you check out the Cosmic puja class which is stored on the

Mandir web site. In that class, Swami teaches us how to perform the

technique. I cannot comment on how others teach or practice chakra

meditation, but, I can assure you that Swami's teaching is clear and

when practiced the way he teaches it, the technique is very powerful

and balancing. After performing the technique daily for several

years, I feel more in control of the energy flow in my spinal column,

and if the energy does become unbalanced, I am in tune with it and can

redirect it to correct the imbalance.

When one practices the technique, one starts at the base of the spine,

and with one's attention on the base chakra, one repeats the mantra

for that charka 16 times, eyes closed, with the spinckter muscle

slightly clenched. Then one moves ones' attention up to the next

chakra, and repeats that mantra 16 times while keeping the spinckter

clenched, and tightening the area of the next chakra- while repeating

that mantra 16 times. One moves up the spine, till one comes crown

chakra.

Then, one moves the energy and ones' attention back down the spine,

repeating each mantra for each chakra 1 time till one gets to the base

of the spine. Then, one repeats OM, and moves the attention from the

base to the crown, thru each chakra, stopping at the crown.

It takes some time getting used to clenching or tightening each chakra

area while repeating the mantra and counting 16 times, but, one does

move into the practice and soon it becomes automatic. it helps to

memorize the mantras and their position. This makes the practice grow

more smoothly.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
