Thoughts and chakras

By

YOGI ASHWINI.


Everything is your thought. Thoughts are not created within you, they exist in the space around and you simply catch them. The kind of thoughts you catch depends on your individual desires.

Let us understand this with the example of a painting of a queen on a dinner table. The hungry would salivate looking at the royal meal, a businessman would evaluate the salability of the painting, a sexually charged person would lust over the beauty of queen and a power-savvy would be envious of her authority. Thus in the same situation, different people would catch different thoughts.

What is it that determines the kind of thoughts you will catch? The answer lies in the whirling pools of energy called chakras. It is a common misperception that chakras reside in the physical body.

A chakra however is not physical. It is etheric and one requires the development of higher senses through practices like Sanatan Kriya to see it. It is made of subtle prana and controls the vitals of the body.

There are seven major chakras in the body, each pertaining to specific desires. Your thoughts and desires are reflective of the chakra that is most dominant in your energy body. The desires for material pleasure are governed by the mooladhar, those for sex by the swadishthan. The quench for power is a play of the manipoorak and the search for selfless love is the function of anahad. Visshudhi corresponds to the need for higher creativity while the agya chakra is the seat of transformation that happens as you still the thoughts of lower chakras.

Thus your thoughts are a mirror of what you are. While a clairvoyant can see your energy patterns in form of colors, you can have a fair idea of it by monitoring your thoughts. Evolution is the vertical progression from the mooladhar to agya chakra and beyond. This can be triggered by mastering your thoughts through correct practices of yoga under a Guru.

MERGER OF SHIV AND SHAKTI

By
Shiv is the doer and may be likened to a vehicle. If you remove ‘i’ from Shiv, it becomes ‘shav’ (corpse). The ‘i’ represents Shakti, which is the fuel that energises this vehicle to perform action. Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...
