Exercise #4: Vajra Recitation – Vajra Japa
1. With a strong intention, draw in the Five Root Winds. From above, draw in the four upper root
winds one at a time, colored white, red, green, and blue, strongly into the central channel at the
point four-fingerwidths below the navel cakra at the tip of the āḥ stroke.
2. From below, draw in the yellow-colored lower wind strongly into the central channel at the
same point below the navel.
3. Maintain your visualization of the Five Root Winds in central channel at the point below the
navel.
4. Hold the winds in the central channel at the āḥ stroke by reciting silently the seed mantra of
Vajravilāsinī, eṃ āṃ rīṃ raṃ brīṃ, 300-500x. A sign that the Five Root Winds have strongly
entered the central channel is that your breath stops, and the power of your meditative absorption
becomes even stronger.
Benefits: The winds intensify the fire of the inner heat in the central channel. Loosens the knots
in the navel cakra, allowing the inner heat to build.
Time: 5 minutes.
Exercise #5: Retaining the Winds - Prāṇāyama
1. Without reciting the mantra but with pure focus, retain your awareness strongly at the āḥ
stroke at the point four-fingerwidths below the navel.
2. The breath slows or stops. If you have brought the Five Root Winds strongly into the central
channel, you may see the Five Signs.
Benefits: The illusory awareness of subject and object dissolves, and a lesser stage of nondual
wisdom arises.
Time: 10 minutes.
