Chakra Dhyana

   Sit with your eyes closed,spine erect but not rigid.Rest your hand on your thighs with palms facing up,index fingertips touching the tip of each thumb for the first three chakras,touching the middle joint of each thumb for the fourth & fifth chakras and the base of the thumb for the sixth & seventh chakras.If you wish you may touch the tip of the tongue to the roof of your mouth.Take several long slow,easy deep breaths breathing through your nose,until your body becomes calm.Sit during this meditation.Do not lie down.As we come to each chakra,focus your attention on the indicated area of your body. With each exhale chant the mantra that is given in a slow,elongated fashion. Begin with the root chakra (Mooladhara) and work upward to the crown (Sahasrara). At the end always allow the energy to ground,flowing down through your body,and spend a few minutes in meditation or lie on your back in shavasan.

1.Begin With the Mooladhara chakra,located at the perineum ,midway between your anus and genitals.Say “ Om Mooladhara “. Visualise its red color.Slowly repeat “Lang” (pronounced lung) for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

2.The swadisthana chakra,located in the genital region or at the base of the spine.Say “ Om swadisthana”.Visualize its orange color.Say “Vang” (pronounced vung) for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

3. The Manipura Chakra,located at the navel.Say “ Om Sri Mane Padme Hum”.Visualize its yellow color.Say “Rang” (pronounced rung) for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

4.The Anahata chakra,in the center of your chest,your spiritual hearth.Say “ Om Anahata”.Visualize its green color.Say “Yang” (pronounced yung) for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

5.The Visuddhi chakra,located in your throat,at the Adam’s apple or the epiglottis.Say “ Om Visuddhi”.Visualize its blue color.Say “Hang” (pronounced hung) for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

6.The Ajneya chakra,located between our eyebrows.Say “ Om Ajneya”.Visualize its indigo color.Say “AUM” IN A 3-2-1 ratio “A-A-A-O-O-M” for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

7.The Sahasrara chakra,located at the center of the top of your head. Say “ Om Sahasrara”.Visualize its violet color,paste purple.Say “Ogum Satyam Om” for a few minutes,then visualialize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say “Kundalini arohanum” several times.

Lie Down in Shavasan

Lie down with your eyes closed immediately after the meditation,and relax for at least 10 or 20 minutes, or as long as you like.Yoga’s Corpse Pose,Shavasan,is good for this(eyas closed,on your back with arms loosely to the sides,pams up,legs slightly apart).Let go.Enjoy.Notice the dynamics of the energy in your body as the kundalini flows.

Or your could proceed immediately to;

Parvaty Padma Dhyana

1.Sit with your eyes closed,spine erect but not rigid,in any position that is comfortable for you.

2.Visualize a golden lotus at the Sahasrara(crown of your head),with a stem going down to the Mooladhara chakra at the perineum(base of your body).

3.As you inhale visualize a golden liquid flowing up the stem from the Mooladhara towards the lotus in your crown.

4.Hold your breath and visualize the golden energy filling every petal of the lotus.

5.As you exhale feel the energy coursing down through every cell in your body (Feel it flood your Heart Chakra,your lower belly,your hands & your feet).

6.Repeat the cycle at least 7 times.

In my group Iften use this variation.The energy can also be exhaled all the way down down through the feet in to the earth,down into the core of the planet and out to all the sentient beings living on the earth,turning the entire world golden.Then one would inhale from the earth up through the soles of the feet to the crown (and through the crown into the heavens) and exhale down from the crown through the feet into the earth. This is very powerful,uniting heaven and earth and bringing healing and transformation to the planet and to all living creatures on the earth.
