There are a total of three Chakra communication techniques incorporated in the following meditation exercise, and each will be presented in connection with a specific energy center. After your initial rehearsal of the techniques, utilize one at a time, making certain you calibrate by gauging the energetic feedback from each experience. Each of the three techniques is used within every energy center, as the techniques each accomplish a unique result. Know that you are not repeating yourself, rather, instead recognize the unique benefits found within each of these processes. The three points of focus within each center are as follows.

 

1. First, you will apply a small energetic spiral as the initial energy work to awaken and lightly stimulate each Chakra.

2. The second technique will utilize a colored energy sphere to alleviate and expel emotional blockages within each Chakra. This will be done while visualizing the emotional experiences which correspond to each Chakra.

3. The third technique will use the corresponding Sanskrit words and mantra to unite with and embed each manifested element into its corresponding Chakra.

Each of these will be described within the guided meditation as well, at which point the initiate will gain full understanding of these techniques and feel the result of each.

While the techniques are distinct and have their own unique outcomes, some general notes on the approach and attitude the initiate should bring to this work can be helpful here. No matter which technique you are engaged with, it is important to be certain you spend adequate time within each energy center. Remember that this stimulation is vital for smooth conscious separation and profound spiritual realization; as well, by properly stimulating each Chakra, we are promoting a balanced energy system, which in turn will create mental, physical, and spiritual health. Consider each of these metaphysical organs to be a long lost friend, one who has much to share in a long awaited, positively anticipated conversation. This metaphor may seem odd to you now, if you have not interacted and communicated with the energy centers directly before, but as you continue through this week’s meditative practice, you will likely find it to be a far more accurate description than you may currently anticipate.

The meditation that follows incorporates two ancient techniques, one from the Taoist tradition, and the other Yogic in origin. Both of these techniques are integral tools for manipulating and guiding the microcosmic orbits¹, and for directing the currents that reside within the energetic body. Through practice with these techniques, you will learn to harness the energies that already exist within, so you might connect to and guide their movements with intent.

As described previously, within the polarized manifestation of the energetic body, there exist two primary channels, which might be thought of as a larger scale replication of the DNA strand that contains the information from which the physical body is built. These twin channels have been observed by wisdom traditions around the world. To the Taoist, the channels are the male and female of the Ren and Du. It is understood that the Ren channel ends at the floor of the mouth as the Du channel ends at the roof of the mouth. Therefore, bridging the gap between the Ren and Du channels can be done by gently resting the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth. The unification of these male and female energy channels through the tongue, allows androgynous energy currents to circulate throughout the microcosm. In learning to eventually direct and control this sexual (Kundalini) energy, as opposed to being directed and controlled by it, you commence the very act of elevating your spiritual frequency. Furthermore, in harnessing this energy as an androgynous force, beyond its normally polarized states, the true abilities of your being shall come to be. In a way, we might think of this spinning energy itself as being like an energy wave. When two waves meet, they interact. If they are disharmonious, they can actually cancel each other out (if you observe the ripples on the water’s surface, you will quickly see this.) If they are, however, harmonious, they can reinforce and strengthen each other. In the same way, by unifying these energies, we bring the whole system to a balanced and elevated state.

The second technique that will be explored this week is rooted in ancient Yogic practices and teachings. There exists a sacred practice among the Yogis, a practice that results in successful Chakra activation, thus allowing the Kundalini serpent to begin its fluid movement up the Shuhumna. It is most effective throughout the asanas of Yoga as well as Chakra meditations. It is a breathing technique known as Mula Bandha, or “root lock.” The root referred to in this term is naturally the root, or Base Chakra. By slightly contracting the pubo-coccygeal muscle, which goes from the pubic bone to the coccyx, an energetic seal that literally locks Prana into the energetic body preventing it from leaking out from the spine is created. This in turn, channels Prana into the central column of Shshumna allowing the following process to have maximum results. Begin practicing gently flexing the muscle between the genitals and anus. This is more easily understood as the muscle used to constrict the flow of urine, as well as being the muscle that is contracted in a sexual orgasm. Ever so slightly with great delicacy, locate and lock. You are not flexing the muscle per se; rather you are delicately squeezing the area. Use this root lock technique only within the Chakra activation portions of this astral projection process. Upon completion, release all tension in the pubo-coccygeal once more.

One may find the slight constriction of this muscle contradictory to the relaxation exercises described in week one. However, bear in mind, as your body sleeps each night within a completely relaxed state of paralysis, the pubo-coccygeal may be slightly flexed all night restricting the flow of urine as you sleep. This example is also presented to assist you in understanding the ever so slight constriction state of the muscle that must be

Learned.

Week Four Meditation Guide

Chakra Activation

The practice, which will be learned this week, requires a one-hour sitting meditation (Recommended time frame, early to late morning, and late afternoon to early evenings. (Avoid late night sessions.)

(Read through the entire meditation first, grasping the entire practice, as you will be learning to eventually complete the entire sequence with your eyes closed.)

• Begin by dropping into complete relaxation (up to 15 minutes), then established internal focus in Pranayama breath work (15 minutes), and accurately pre-stimulate the body by erecting each spiraling vortex (15 minutes), then continue into the following procedures.

• With the pubo-coccygeal located and slightly contracted and the tongues tip resting gently on the roof of the mouth, exhale all of the air from the lungs. Completely flush the body of air holding a long breath at the bottom. Throughout this exhale; visualize the path of the breath in reverse, moving down the nostrils, throat, lungs and stomach eventually hooking it to the pelvic floor. Rehearse this many times to become familiar with the hooking action and know in actuality the breath is being linked to your base. Upon the inhalation, there will be an automatic reaching upward motion. Due to the slight contraction of the pubo-coccygeal, a suction and energetic lift upward through the entire core of the body has been created. This simple but curtail technique allows life force energy (Prana) to blossom in a continuous upward movement and greatly assists in the activation and stimulation of the seven major energy centers. Maintain a slight contraction in the pubo-coccygeal and lifted tongue throughout the following section.

• Root Chakra, Muladhara

• Gently holding awareness down at the perineum with a deep hissing inhalation; allow the breath to flood the entire pelvic area to eventually rest at the Root Chakra. Repeat this a few times placing clean healing life-force energy into the base.

• 1. Holding awareness here, begin to stimulate the Root Chakra by creating a spiral of soft white light and set it spinning just below the perineum. See this energetic spiral with absolute clarity; building the image slowly, knowing it is now there within the astral vicinity. Inhale, and guide the spiral gently into your body, feeling its soft caress against the sensitive skin.

• Begin to transform this spiral of energy into brilliant red glowing sphere, placing it just beyond the base between the legs. Upon inhalation, allow this sphere to enter into the physical body gently penetrating the skin. Let it rest two inches inside. Upon a gently exhalation, allow the sphere to glide back out of the body resting it two inches away from the skin. Repeat this inward and outward movement while gently stimulation continues.

• 2. Now begin to focus on the clearing of emotional blockages within the Base Chakra through silent contemplation. Calmly review your life, using the power of your imagination to recall the moments where you may have experienced the emotions listed.
