Stage 1
At first the musical scale of the harmonium is ascended very slowly while the
awareness begins in mooladhara and ascends sushumna from one chakra to the next,
feeling, each note vibrating in the spinal column in the region of its corresponding
chakra. When sahasrara is attained, descend the awareness with the musical scale down
through sushumna to mooladhara. The consciousness ascends and descends sushumna
with the scale many times, slowly speeding up as chakra location becomes quick and
effortless.
Stage 2
Now the voice is integrated with the notes. The names of the chakras are chanted very
precisely. The names themselves are mantras, and if intoned with the correct note and
pronunciation, each center can be set vibrating, and the sushumna passage and the whole
body begin to vibrate with energy. This practice is very powerful. It can be continued for
10 minutes or more.
Stage 3
In this stage the awareness still ascends and descends through sushumna with the
musical scale, but the voice makes a continuous a-a-a-a-a-a sound (as in calm) as it
ascends and descends through the chakras. In the final stage the full power of the voice is
released and a tremendous energy is generated, provided the pitch is maintained
accurately.
Practice 3: Chaturtha pranayama
Here is a practice that combines breathing, mantra and chakra awareness. Although it
is not widely taught, it is a powerful technique that is both a pranayama and a meditation.
Ghaturtha pranayama means, 'pranayama of the fourth state', or a transcendental state
where words and definitions fail to reach. This practice will lead to deeper awareness and
knowledge of the chakras. It is also a preparatory technique for kriya yoga as it develops
sensitivity to both the psychic spinal passage and the chakras.
