Chakra Beej Kriya: Part 1

By
Yog is not about twisting and turning yourself into knots and complicated postures, yog taps into the power of consciousness. As you practice yog in totality, as prescribed, you start glowing and the immunity of the body heightens, slowly you begin to exude the glow of the sun.
The body that we greet in the mirror everyday is run by a higher force, which is invisible to the naked eye but very clearly visible to a clairvoyant in the form of colours and to a clairaudient in the form of specific sounds. These colours and sounds correspond to certain energy centers in the body, which control and govern various body parts and functions. Much before you identify symptoms of a disease or ailment and decide to visit a doctor, these symptoms are perceived by a yogic practitioner in the form of change in colour, texture, size and sound of various chakras.
Sanatan Kriya prescribes various techniques under the topic of self-healing to access this invisible sheath of the body and through the power of consciousness to affect desired changes in the body and surroundings. In this series of articles, I will be taking you through the chakra beej kriya which comprises of a set of asans and dhwanis to tap into the phenomenal power of six major chakras in the body, namely, Mooladhar, Swadisthan, Manipoorak, Anahad, Vishuddhi and Agya.
CHAKRA BEEJ KRIYA
Taking blessings of the Guru and Lord Ganesh, begin the kriya. First and foremost, warming up the body is extremely essential to awaken the chakras and energy channels in the body. For this perform the basic joint rotations (the same are detailed on website or visit the nearest Dhyan Foundation center). As the body warms up, gradually the energy levels increase.
A strong and supple spine is a prerequisite for yog. The movement of energy happens through the spine only. If the spine is healthy, you are healthy. We have discussed the asans for strengthening the spine in earlier articles. It is highly recommended that you practice them and strengthen the back before attempting chakra beej asans.
Next you put pressure on various chakras of the body to pull the energy upwards from the mool uptil the agya. As you perform this kriya, gradually the glow increases and breath stablises. The energy that has been generated is directed towards strengthening various parts of the body through these asans and beej mantras.
In the next article, we will discuss in detail the techniques to awaken and stimulate the mool chakra.

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...
