Swami Vivekananda: I see ida and pingala anatomically up here in the brain, not
crossing down the spine. I believe that ida and pingala crossing each other is a concept
and a symbol of experience.
Swami Satyadharma: I think that awakening of mooladhara is the beginning of
psychic awareness. That is why with mooladhara awakening, people often become
disturbed.
Swami Vivekananda: Yes. They can get caught in the psychic consciousness, which is
the consciousness in which you have hallucinations, etc.
Swami Satyadharma: It is much more powerful than anything they have ever
experienced before.
Swami Vivekananda: We slide in and out of it twice a day anyway, even if we are not
doing any formal closed eye meditation techniques. I think if you hold the awareness at
the psychic level, and you can do it with yoga nidra, you will experience a state in which
there is thought blocking - what is called thought disorder - you know, where one thought
leads on to another one that is unrelated to it and it just goes off into the distance.
Paradoxical thinking - where two paradoxical things can exist together, hallucinations,
voices talking to you, you see things and so forth.
Swami Shankardevananda: So therefore we assume that pingala is blocked and ida is
flowing. All that stuff is coming out through ida from mooladhara; basic subconscious
material.
Swami Vivekananda: At the same time there is psychic withdrawal.
Swami Shankardevananda: Yes, so what does that imply?
Swami Vivekananda: If there is a psychic withdrawal, then even though we appear to
be in communication with the outside, in actual fact we are still inside from the psychic
point of view. Paradoxical thinking, suspicious feelings, voices and all these things, and
not being able to keep your thoughts together on one topic for any more than a couple of
seconds - all these come from a psychic, inner plane.
PHYSICAL DISEASES
Swami Shankardevananda: What about physical disease associated with mooladhara
chakra problems? We have already talked about constipation; this of course brings about
things like hemorrhoids.
Swami Vivekananda: There are a lot of other types of constipation involved too - of
energy, emotions, of information - yes, all inherent in mooladhara chakra as hoarding of
any type.
