Technique
Sit in any comfortable position, preferably siddhasana. Keep your back straight and
eyes closed. Throughout the practice there is no physical movement; the kriya is done
mentally. Bring your attention to mooladhara chakra. Repeat the mantra lam mentally,
once, and try to feel the vibration at mooladhara chakra. Then ascend through arohan. Let
your attention jump to swadhisthana kshetram and repeat the mantra vam, feeling the
vibration at that point. Jump to manipura kshetram and repeat the mantra ram. At anahata
kshetram, yam. At vishuddhi kshetram, ham. At bindu, Оm. Then descend through
awarohan. Repeat Оm at ajna, in the center of the head. Repeat ham at vishuddhi chakra
in the spine. At anahata chakra, yam. At manipura chakra, ram. At swadhisthana,
vam. Then return to the starting point, mooladhara, and begin the next round by repeating
the mantra lam.Your awareness should jump from one center to the next. Do 9 rounds, or
more if you have time.
Note: This is an excellent preparatory practice for kriya yoga sadhana. You may also
practise by spending some time (e.g. 5 minutes) at each kshetram or chakra, chanting the
mantra aloud on a low key and feeling it vibrating at the chakra.
Practice 7: Drawing the chakras
Drawing of mandalas, such as the chakras, is an important part of tantra. Many of the
practices require that the correct mandalas be constructed first of all. The creation of a
chakra diagram should be done with absolute awareness and concentration, and its
measurements and dimensions must be exact. You should try to ensure that you will be
undisturbed for at least an hour, and approach the exercise as you do meditation. In some
Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, mandalas are drawn and painted as part of the daily
sadhana, as is the practice in several Greek Orthodox monasteries, where icons are
painted in minute detail as daily meditation.
