to occur before you have completed the rounds, discontinue the practice and go on to the
next kriya.
Note: If desired, mental repetition of chakras and kshetram can also be done.
No. 15: Sushumna darshan (inner visualization of the chakras)
For chakra visualization, refer to the diagrams of each chakra. Sit in siddhasana,
siddha yoni asana or padmasana. Close your eyes and practise normal breathing. There is
no relation between the breath and awareness in this kriya. Bring your awareness to
mooladhara. Imagine a pencil, and with that draw a square at mooladhara. Draw the
largest possible inverted equilateral triangle within that square. Then make a circle
touching all the four corners of that square. Prepare 4 petals, one for each side of the
square. Bring your awareness to swadhisthana. Prepare a circle there with the same
radius as the one at mooladhara. Draw 6 petals around the edge of the circle, and a
crescent moon inside the bottom of the circle. Now come to manipura. Draw a circle, and
then make the biggest possible inverted triangle to fit this circle. In the center draw a ball
of fire. Make 10 petals around the circle. Raise the consciousness to anahata. Draw 2
triangles there, one pointing upward and the other inverted. They are interlaced, both
crossing each other. Surround them with a circle having 12 petals. Then come to
vishuddhi. Draw a circle, and place a smaller circle within the circle, like a drop of
nectar. Make 16 petals around that circle. Rise to ajna. Make a circle and inside it write a
big Sanskrit Om. Prepare 2 large petals, one on the right and one on the left side of the
circle. At bindu draw a crescent moon with a very tiny circle above it. Reach
sahasrara. Prepare a circle there, and make the largest possible upward pointing triangle
within that circle. There are 1000 petals all around the circle. Try to see at one glance all
the chakras in their proper places. If it is very difficult to see them all together, then see
only 2 chakras on the first day and add one more chakra to your visualization daily until
all appear together.
No. 16: Prana ahuti (infusing the divine prana)
Sit in siddhasana, siddha yoni asana or padmasana. Close your eyes and breathe
normally. Feel the soft touch of a divine hand lying on your head. The hand is infusing
subtle prana into your body and mind and the prana is travelling down from sahasrara
through the spinal passage. You may experience it as a wave of cold, heat, energy,
electric current, or as a stream of wind or liquid. Its passage will result in vibrations,
shocks, jerks or tickling sensations which course through you. When the prana has
reached mooladhara, then immediately go on to the next kriya without waiting to
experience the prana a second time.
