this center. Count this pulsation 21 times. Now perform vajroli mudra - the drawing up<br />

and releasing of the genital and urinary systems. Continue vajroii mudra for 4 minutes.<br />

Then bring your awareness to the region of the navel. Become aware of the psychic<br />

breath from mooladhara to the navel, and from the throat to the navel. Both these breaths<br />

must reach the navel at the point of full inhalation. When the two forces meet and<br />

coincide in the navel, retain the breath there, and develop the mental awareness of the<br />

single central point offeree in the navel. Then release the breath and continue this practice<br />

in your own natural rhythm. Continue for 4 minutes. Now take your awareness directly<br />

back to manipura chakra, within the spinal column, directly behind the navel. Try to<br />

isolate that point and the pulsation there. Count the pulse 21 times in manipura<br />

chakra. Now bring your awareness to the region of anahata chakra in the spinal column,<br />

at the level of the center of the chest. Isolate that point and try to discover a pulsation<br />

within it. Count the pulsation 21 times. Now bring your awareness to the space of the<br />

heart. First become aware of the ingoing breath in the throat. With the ingoing breath,<br />

feel the vast heart space filling up. Feel the heart space directly - contracting and<br />

expanding with the rhythm of the spontaneous, natural breath. Be aware of the vision<br />

which will come in the vast heart space. Allow it to come <strong>by</strong> itself. Continue for 2<br />

minutes. Now bring your awareness to the throat pit and then take it directly back to<br />

vishuddhi chakra in the spinal column. Repeat mentally, 'vishuddhi, vishuddhi,<br />

vishuddhi'. Try to discover the pulsation within vishuddhi and witness it for 21<br />

pulsations. Now as the name of each chakra is given, move your awareness within<br />

sushumna passage so as to touch the chakra with a small imaginary flower.<br />

This is all that you have to feel, but your awareness of each chakra must be very<br />

precise - mooladhara, swadhisthana, manipura, anahata, vishuddhi, ajna; ajna, vishuddhi,<br />

anahata, manipura, swadhisthana, mooladhara. Guide the consciousness through the<br />

chakras in sushumna, ascending and descending 4 more times. Now chant Оm 3 times.<br />

Practice 2: Musical chakra meditation<br />

Sound is a particularly effective and enj oyable means of developing awareness of the<br />

chakras. This is why nada yoga is so powerful in spiritual awakening.<br />

The 7 notes of the musical scale correspond to the vibration of the 7 chakras from<br />

mooladhara to sahasrara, and this is the basis for a very effective musical meditation<br />

technique. The best instrument of all is the human voice, which can be supplemented <strong>by</strong><br />

the harmonium. However, other instruments can also be used.<br />
