days you may be able to read the thoughts of others, but then that ability will pass away.<br />

For a few days you may be able to heal people, but that will also pass. Psychic powers<br />

usually only linger when kundalini gets blocked in a chakra.<br />

Of course, some of our lower chakras may already be functioning without our<br />

knowledge. We are all at different levels on the scale of evolution, and therefore it may<br />

not be necessary to start the process of awakening from mooladhara. We say kundalini is<br />

in mooladhara in order to explain the whole concept, but due to your progress in previous<br />

lives, or the sadhana your mother or father may have done, you might have been born<br />

with your kundalini in manipura. If that is the case, the ascension must take place from<br />

there. However, as you can't remember your previous life, similarly you also forget about<br />

the state of your kundalini. That is why the gurus teach that it is sleeping in mooladhara.<br />

It may be in anahata, but I will always tell you it is in mooladhara and make you do the<br />

practices from mooladhara. You might not have any experience of it there. You may go<br />

to swadhisthana and manipura and not have any experiences there either. But the moment<br />

you go to anahata you suddenly start having experiences.<br />

So, before you commence the practices of kundalini yoga, you should try to find out<br />

at which point your ascension will actually start. In order to do this, the best method is to<br />

concentrate on mooladhara daily for 15 to 30 minutes. Then swadhisthana for 15 days,<br />

manipura for 15 days and so on up to sahasrara. You will soon discover your point of<br />

evolution.<br />

Some people will find concentration on anahata easiest, so that is likely to be their<br />

center. Others will find ajna chakra very powerful and attractive to them, whereas other<br />

people will find it easiest to relate to mooladhara, while the higher chakras seem almost<br />

impossible to locate. Ultimately you will be able to decide which is your most sensitive<br />

chakra, and you will be ready for the next step - awakening.<br />

However, there is one important point to add. Even if a higher chakra such as anahata<br />

has awakened at random, you must try to awaken the lower chakras also. The purpose of<br />

awakening kundalini and ascending it through all the chakras is to awaken them and their<br />

related parts of the brain. Therefore, in order to awaken the whole brain, all the chakras<br />

must be awakened.<br />

Awakening the chakras<br />

Awakening of the chakras is a very important event in man's evolution. It should not<br />

be misunderstood for mysticism or occultism, because with the awakening of the chakras,<br />

our consciousness and our mind undergo changes. These changes have significant<br />

relevance and relationship with our day to day life.<br />

Our present state of mind is not capable of handling all the affairs of life. Our love<br />

and hatred, our relationships with people, they are the consequences of the quality of our<br />

present mind. And it appears that our sufferings, our agonies and frustrations are not so<br />

much due to the circumstances of life, but more to the responses of our mind. Therefore,
