II. Meditation
a) Meditation on Chakras
Chakras are basic energy stations in the human body. Once the chakras are activated, they facilitate the movement of

b) Nadanusandhan (Meditation on Sounds)
This is the highest stage in the practice of Hatha Yoga. This technique is the method of penetrating the deeper layers
of mind using sound as a medium. The manifest universe is considered to have sound as its basis. Science also says
that everything in the universe is nothing but vibrational energy, and sound is a form of vibration. Yoga looks at the
body and the mind as nothing but an uncountable number of different vibrations in a multitude of permutations and
combinations. This practice tries to take the aspirant progressively through a series of steps to experience the
ultimate goal, merging with the inner sound.
c) Meditation on Breathing
Based on the Sri Vigyana Bhairava Tantra, this technique is very simple yet powerful. Witnessing the breath
transcending time, place and object are taught in this technique.
