Practice 1: Chakra meditation<br />
Make yourself comfortable in a meditative asana, preferably siddhasana or siddha<br />
yoni asana. Place both hands on the knees in chin mudra ( palms facing upward, thumbs<br />
and forefingers together). Close your eyes and make the body steady throughout. The<br />
spinal column should be absolutely upright and straight, with the back and shoulders fully<br />
relaxed. The head should be poised comfortably on top of the spinal column. The whole<br />
body is completely relaxed and immobile. It is motionless like a statue. Maintain absolute<br />
awareness of the physical body for several minutes. Become aware of the spinal<br />
column. Now bring your awareness to ajna chakra.<br />
Ajna chakra is located inside the brain at a point directly behind the eyebrow center<br />
and on top of the spinal column, where the pineal gland is situated. Try to discover a<br />
pulsation within this ajna chakra region. Be absolutely aware of this pulsation.Now<br />
synchronize the mantra Оm with the pulsation in the ajna chakra region. Оm, Оm, Оm,<br />
Оm, Оm, should be the form of your awareness with the pulsation of ajna chakra. Count<br />
the pulsation 21 times. Now begin to practise ashwini mudra. Do not be concerned with<br />
ajna chakra, only practise ashwini mudra - contraction and relaxation of the anus. It<br />
should be practised at a medium speed - neither too quickly nor too slowly. After<br />
practising like this for a few sessions, you should be able to feel the center of ajna<br />
automatically while performing ashwini. When that happens you can begin to concentrate<br />
directly on ajna. Until then, go on with ashwini mudra for about 4 minutes. Now bring<br />
your awareness to the perineal region and the psychic center of mooladhara chakra.<br />
Discover the precise psychic point of mooladhara chakra. Now try to discover a subtle<br />
pulsation there. Localize the pulsation very precisely in the mooladhara region and count<br />
21 pulsations.<br />
Now open your eyes and adopt nasikagra drishti; gazing at the nosetip. Do not be<br />
concerned with mooladhara chakra, but only with nosetip awareness. The simultaneous<br />
awareness of mooladhara chakra will come after some time. Continue this practice for 3<br />
minutes. Now bring your awareness to swadhisthana chakra in the region of the tail<br />
bone. Discover the psychic point of swadhisthana chakra. Try to discover the pulsation in
