OSHO NADABRAHMA MEDITATION , NADABRAHMA MEDITATION FOR COUPLES

WHAT IS NADABRAHMA MEDITATION

NADABRAHMA

An ancient Tibetan Buddhist technique which was originally done in the very early hours of
the morning. It is suggested that it should be done either at night before going to sleep or
during the morning, when it should be followed by at least 15 minutes rest. It can be done
alone with others of even at work. It is good done on an empty stomach with ayes closed
otherwise the inner sound cannot go very deep.



OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation

Nadabrahma is the humming meditation – through humming and hand movements conflicting parts of you start falling in tune, and you bring harmony to your whole being. Then, with body and mind totally together, you “slip out of their hold” and become a witness to both. This watching from the outside is what brings peace, silence and bliss.

“So in Nadabrahma, remember this: let the body and mind be totally together, but remember that you have to become a witness. Get out of them, easily, slowly, from the back door, with no fight, with no struggle.” Osho


Instructions:
The meditation lasts an hour, and there are three stages. Your eyes remain closed throughout.

First Stage: 30 minutes


Sit in a relaxed position with eyes closed and lips together. Start humming, loudly enough to be heard by others and create a vibration throughout your body. You can visualize a hollow tube or an empty vessel, filled only with the vibrations of the humming. A point will come when the humming continues by itself and you become the listener. There is no special breathing and you can alter the pitch or move your body smoothly and slowly if you feel it.

Second Stage: 15 minutes






The second stage is divided into two 7½ minute sections. For the first half move the hands, palms up, in an outward circular motion. Starting at the navel, both hands move forwards and then divide to make two large circles mirroring each other left and right. The movement should be so slow that at times there will appear to be no movement at all. Feel that you are giving energy outwards to the universe.
After 7½ minutes turn the hands, palms down, and start moving them in the opposite direction. Now the hands will come together towards the navel and divide outwards to the sides of the body. Feel that you are taking energy in. As in the first stage, don’t inhibit any soft, slow movements of the rest of your body.

Third Stage: 15 minutes


Now stop the hand movement and just sit relaxed



NADABRAHMA MEDITATION FOR COUPLES

Osho has given a beautiful variation of this technique to couples. Partners sit facing oneanother, holding one another‘s crossed hands. A bedsheet must cover both the bodies and it is
best with no other clothing. The room should be fairly dark with four small candles giving theonly light. A particular incense should be burning which is used only for this meditation.The same incense should be used on each occasion. Facing one another, hands both
crossed and clasped, . the couple should close the ayes and continue humming for 30 minutes.The humming is to be done together. After a minute or two the breathing and humming will
merge in unison and the energies will be felt to meet and unite.

OSHO NO DIMENSION MEDITATION

OSHO No-Dimensions Meditation





Here is a powerful one-hour meditation method for centering one’s energy in the hara—the area just below the navel. It is based on a Sufi technique of movements for awareness and integration of the body. Because it is a Sufi meditation, it is “non-serious”—feel free to smile while you are doing it!

Osho No Dimensions Meditation is specifically designed as a part of Osho’s “Active Meditation” series. The music supports the energy and activity described in each stage of the meditation, and also signals the timing of each stage. A silent stage is part of most Osho Active Meditations; a bell or gong will signal the conclusion of the session. 



The meditation lasts one hour and has three stages. In the first two stages the eyes are open but not focused on anything in particular. In the third stage the eyes are closed. The meditation is over when you hear three gongs.

This active centering meditation is based on Sufi techniques, further developed and expanded by Osho. Using the breath and a series of coordinated body movements followed by whirling, your energy becomes centered in the hara, the “life energy” center below the navel. From there you can watch the mind and experience awareness and wholeness – the body moving in all directions, the center unmoving.
 
First stage: SUFI MOVEMENTS 30 minutes


This is a six-part movement sequence, repeated continuously and accompanied by the sound “Shoo” rising from your navel to your throat. The sound helps your movements to become more free and easy as the meditation progresses. Make the movements and sounds with a loving heart and a centered awareness.
Begin by standing in one place, left hand on the heart center and right hand on the hara or navel center – until a bell rings and signals the start of the movement sequence:

1. Move both hands onto the hara, the backs of the hands touching together, pointing downwards.
Breathing in through the nose, bring the hands up to the heart center.
Breathing out with the sound “Shoo” move your left hand back down to the hara, and at the same time move your right arm forward (palm down) and move your right foot forward one step.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

2. Repeat this same movement with the left arm and foot forward.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

3. Repeat this movement with the right arm and foot now turning 90° sideways to the right.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

4. Repeat this movement with the left arm and foot now turning 90° sideways to the left.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

5. Repeat this movement with the right arm and foot now turning 180° clockwise to the right.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

Repeat this movement with the left arm and foot now turning 180° counter-clockwise to the left.
Return to the original position with both hands on the hara.

The hips and eyes always face the direction of the hand movement. Use graceful movements in a continuous flow, in rhythm with the music. This stage of the meditation starts slowly and builds up in intensity. While the music gradually becomes faster, the stillness of the center becomes more evident.

If you are doing this as a group you may get out of synchronicity with the others. When that happens, simply get back into the same rhythm as everyone else.
This stage is over when the music comes to a stop.
 
Second stage: WHIRLING 15 minutes

With arms folded across your chest for a few moments bow down, in loving gratitude to existence and to yourself.
Once the tempo of the music changes, begin whirling to the left or to the right, whichever feels best. If you whirl to the right, start with the right foot and right arm to the right and extend the left arm in the opposite direction. While you are whirling you can change your hands to any position which feels good to you. You whirl just like small children go on twirling.
If you have not whirled before start out very slowly; once your mind and body get attuned to the movements the body will naturally go faster. If you get dizzy, it is okay to stop for a moment, then start again. To end the whirling, slow down with the music and again fold your arms across your heart center.



Third stage: SILENCE 15 minutes

Lie down on the belly, eyes closed, allowing all the energy you have gathered to flow through you. If you find it uncomfortable to lie on the belly, lie on the back. There is nothing to do, just be.

OSHO MANDALA MEDITATION

OSHO MANDALA MEDITATION

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness.

The beauty of the inner science is that it enables whoever wants to explore and to experiment within, to do so alone. This eliminates dependence on an outer authority, the need to be affiliated with any organization and the obligation to accept a certain ideology. Once you understand the steps, you walk the walk in your own, individual way.

Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.

Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designed by Osho over a period of time to enable us to consciously express and experience repressed feelings and emotions, and learn the knack of watching our habitual patterns in a new way.


This meditation lasts one hour and there are four stages of 15 minutes each.

Every circle contains a center. In the first three stages of this energetic and powerful technique “centering” is the aim, through the creation of a circle of energy. Then, in the fourth stage, the relaxation.

First Stage: 15 minutes

With open eyes run on the spot, starting slowly and gradually, getting faster and faster. Bring your knees up as high as possible. Breathing deeply and evenly will move the energy within. Forget the mind and forget the body. Keep going.

Second Stage: 15 minutes

Sit down with eyes closed, mouth open and loose. Let your body sway from the waist, like a reed blowing in the wind – from side to side, back and forth, around and around as it happens.
This will gather your awakened energies at the navel center.

Third Stage: 15 minutes

Lie on your back, keeping your head still. Open your eyes and rotate them in a clockwise direction. Sweep them fully around in the sockets as if you are following the second hand of a vast clock. Start slowly, then gradually turn your eyes faster and faster. Let your mouth remain open and the jaw relaxed, with soft and even breathing.
This will bring your centered energies to the “third eye” center.

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes


Close your eyes and be still.



"Life is purposeless. Don't be shocked. The whole idea of purpose is wrong – it comes out of greed.
"Life is a sheer joy, a playfulness, a fun, a laughter, for no purpose at all. Life is its own end, it has no other end. The moment you understand it, you have understood what meditation is all about. It is living your life joyously, playfully, totally, and with no purpose at the end, with no purpose in view, no purpose there at all. Just like small children playing on the sea beach, collecting seashells and colored stones – for what purpose?
"There is no purpose at all."

OSHO ON NATRAJ, OSHO ON NATRAJ MEDITATION

Dance as meditation – Disappear into the dance




Forget the dancer, the center of the ego; become the dance. That is the meditation. Dance so deeply that you forget completely “you” are dancing and begin to feel that you are the dance. The division must disappear; then it becomes a meditation. If the division is there, then it is an exercise: good, healthy, but it cannot be said to be spiritual. It is just a simple dance. Dance is good in itself – as far as it goes, it is good. After it, you will feel fresh, young. But it is not meditation yet. The dancer must go, until only the dance remains.


So what to do? Be totally in the dance, because division can exist only if you are not total in it. If you are standing aside and looking at your own dance, the division will remain: you are the dancer and you are dancing. Then dancing is just an act, something you are doing; it is not your being. So get involved totally, be merged in it. Don’t stand aside, don’t be an observer.
Particpate!




THE INSTRUCTIONS


Nataraj is dance as a total meditation. There are three stages, lasting a total of 65 minutes.


“Let the dance flow in its own way; don’t force it. Rather, follow it; allow it to happen. It is not a doing but a happening. Remain in the mood of festivity. You are not doing something very serious; you are just playing, playing with your life energy, playing with your bioenergy, allowing it to move in its own way. Just like the wind blows and the river flows – you are flowing and blowing. Feel it. And be playful. Remember this word “playful” always – with me, it is very basic. In this country we call creation God’s leela – God’s play. God has not created the world; it is his play”


Nataraj is the energy of dance. This is dance as a total meditation, where all inner division disappears and a subtle, relaxed awareness remains.

"If the division is there, then it is an exercise: good, healthy, but it cannot be said to be spiritual. It is just a simple dance. Dance is good in itself – as far as it goes it is good. After it, you will feel fresh, young. But it is not meditation yet. The dancer must go, until only the dance remains…. Don’t stand aside, don’t be an observer. Participate!

"And be playful. Remember the word playful always – with me it is very basic.” Osho
 
Instructions:

The meditation has three stages, lasting a total of 65 minutes.

First Stage: 40 minutes





With eyes closed, dance as if possessed. Let your unconscious take over completely. Do not control your movements or witness what is happening. Just be totally in the dance.

Second Stage: 20 minutes


Keeping your eyes closed, lie down immediately. Be silent and still.

Third Stage: 5 minutes




Dance in celebration and enjoy.

OSHO KUNDALINI MEDITATION, IMPORTANCE OF ACTIVE MEDITATION



OSHO KUNDALINI MEDITATION


Osho Kundalini Meditation is a popular evening practice. Includes loosening the body, dancing, witnessing and resting stages. Stressful living and unexpressed emotions can effect our ability to live joyfully and relate to others. It is an individual experience so you should remain oblivious of others around you. If possible, keep your eyes closed throughout, or you can use a blindfold. It is best to have an empty stomach and wear loose, comfortable clothing.


Osho’s message brings the timeless wisdom of the East to bear on the urgent questions facing the modern world. Osho developed his unique active meditation techniques for modern men and women, who, he said, are so burdened with traditions of the past and anxieties of modern day living, that they must go through a deep cleansing process before they can begin to discover the thought-free relaxed state of meditation. His insights are a total discontinuity with the past and go beyond any particular religion, tradition or doctrine and are purely based on his own experiences.
They are published in numerous books, and an autobiography about his work Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic is available in several languages. (see link below)


Osho Active Meditations are scientifically designed to effectively release these tensions which block the natural flow of energies in our bodies, allowing us to become more peaceful and relaxed. These Active Meditations combine all certain activities like shaking, dancing, jumping, humming and others to lead into silence and meditation. Music is used as a background for all these meditations.

Osho Kundalini Meditation is one of Osho’s most popular and potent meditation techniques. It involves shaking, dancing, sitting silently and relaxing. A final stage of 15 minutes of silence completes the meditation and a gong signals the end. 


This “sister meditation” to the OSHO Dynamic is best done at sunset or in the late afternoon. Being fully immersed in the shaking and dancing of the first two stages helps to “melt” the rock-like being, wherever the energy flow has been repressed and blocked. Then that energy can flow, dance and be transformed into bliss and joy. The last two stages enable all this energy to flow vertically, to move upwards into silence. It is a highly effective way of unwinding and letting go at the end of the day.

Osho on How to Shake:

"If you are doing the Kundalini Meditation, allow the shaking – don't do it! Stand silently, feel it coming, and when your body starts a little trembling, help it, but don't do it! Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don't will it.

"If you force, it will become an exercise, a bodily physical exercise. Then the shaking will be there, but just on the surface. It will not penetrate you. You will remain solid, stonelike, rocklike within. You will remain the manipulator, the doer, and the body will only be following. The body is not the question, you are the question.

"When I say shake, I mean your solidity, your rocklike being should shake to the very foundations, so it becomes liquid, fluid, melts, flows. And when the rocklike being becomes liquid your body will follow. Then there is no shaker, only shaking; then nobody is doing it, it is simply happening. Then the doer is not.

"Enjoy it, but don't will it. And remember, whenever you will a thing you cannot enjoy it. They are reverse, opposites; they never meet. If you will a thing you cannot enjoy it, if you enjoy it you cannot will it." Osho

Instructions:

The meditation is one hour long, with four stages.

First Stage: 15 minutes



Be loose and let your whole body shake, feeling the energies moving up from your feet. Let go everywhere and become the shaking. Your eyes may be open or closed.

Second Stage: 15 minutes


Dance ...  any way you feel, and let the whole body move as it wishes. Again, your eyes can be open or closed.

Third Stage: 15 minutes


Close your eyes and be still, sitting or standing, observing, witnessing, whatever is happening inside and out.

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes


Keeping your eyes closed, lie down and be still.




A complete CD download includes also the silent stage with one of the tracks being mostly silence with a signal at the end – this is part of the experience. Osho Kundalini Meditation is a gentle yet effective way to release all the accumulated stress of your day, leaving you refreshed and mellow.


“Allow the shaking; don’t do it. Stand silently, feel it coming and when your body starts tumbling, help it but don’t do it. Enjoy it, feel blissful about it, allow it, receive it, welcome it, but don’t will it.” ~Osho

OSHO DYNAMIC MEDITATION INSTRUCTIONS, WHY OSHO ACTIVE MEDITATION IS IMPORTANT

OSHO DYNAMIC MEDITATION INSTRUCTIONS


This meditation is a fast, intense and thorough way to break old, ingrained patterns in the bodymind that keep one imprisoned in the past, and to experience the freedom, the witnessing, silence and peace that are hidden behind these prison walls.

The meditation is meant to be done in the early morning, when as Osho explains it, “the whole of nature becomes alive, the night has gone, the sun is coming up and everything becomes conscious and alert.”

"This is a meditation in which you have to be continuously alert, conscious, aware, whatsoever you do. The first step, breathing; the second step, catharsis; the third step, the mantra, 'Hoo.'
Remain a witness. Don’t get lost. It is easy to get lost. While you are breathing you can forget; you can become one with the breathing so much that you can forget the witness. But then you miss the point. Breathe as fast, as deep as possible, bring your total energy to it, but still remain a witness. Observe what is happening as if you are just a spectator, as if the whole thing is happening to somebody else, as if the whole thing is happening in the body and the consciousness is just centered and looking. This witnessing has to be carried in all the three steps. And when everything stops, and in the fourth step you have become completely inactive, frozen, then this alertness will come to its peak." Osho

Instructions:
The meditation lasts one hour and has five stages. Keep your eyes closed throughout, using a blindfold if necessary. It can be done alone, and can be even more powerful if it is done with others.
 
First Stage: 10 minutes





Breathing chaotically through the nose, let breathing be intense, deep, fast, without rhythm, with no pattern – and concentrating always on the exhalation. The body will take care of the inhalation. The breath should move deeply into the lungs. Do this as fast and as hard as you possibly can until you literally become the breathing. Use your natural body movements to help you to build up your energy. Feel it building up, but don’t let go during the first stage.
 
Second Stage: 10 minutes

EXPLODE! … Let go of everything that needs to be thrown out. Follow your body. Give your body freedom to express whatever is there. Go totally mad. Scream, shout, cry, jump, kick, shake, dance, sing, laugh; throw yourself around. Hold nothing back; keep your whole body moving. A little acting often helps to get you started. Never allow your mind to interfere with what is happening. Consciously go mad. Be total.
 
Third Stage: 10 minutes

With arms raised high above your head, jump up and down shouting the mantra, “Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!” as deeply as possible. Each time you land, on the flats of your feet, let the sound hammer deep into the sex center. Give all you have; exhaust yourself completely.
 
Fourth Stage: 15 minutes

STOP! Freeze wherever you are, in whatever position you find yourself. Don’t arrange the body in any way. A cough, a movement, anything, will dissipate the energy flow and the effort will be lost. Be a witness to everything that is happening to you.

Fifth Stage: 15 minutes

Celebrate! With music and dance express whatsoever is there. Carry your aliveness with you throughout the day.

If your meditation space prevents you from making noise, you can do this silent alternative: rather than throwing out the sounds, let the catharsis in the second stage take place entirely through bodily movements. In the third stage, the sound Hoo! can be hammered silently inside, and the fifth stage can become an expressive dance

WHY DYNAMIC MEDITATION



Modern man is a very new phenomenon. No traditional method can be used exactly as it exists because modern man never existed before. So, in a way, all traditional methods have become irrelevant.
For example, the body has changed so much. It is so drugged that no traditional method can be helpful. The whole atmosphere is artificial now: the air, the water, society, living conditions. Nothing is natural. You are born in artificiality; you develop in it. So traditional methods will prove harmful today. They will have to be changed according to the modern situation.

Another thing: the quality of the mind has basically changed. In Patanjali's [the most famous commentator on Yoga] days, the center of the human personality was not the brain; it was the heart. Before that, it was not even the heart. It was still lower, near the navel. The center has gone even further from the navel. Now, the center is the brain. That is why teachings like those of Krishnamurti have appeal. No method is needed, no technique is needed – only understanding. But if it is just a verbal understanding, just intellectual, nothing changes, nothing is transformed. It again becomes an accumulation of knowledge.

I use chaotic methods rather than systematic ones because a chaotic method is very helpful in pushing the center down from the brain. The center cannot be pushed down through any systematic method because systemization is brainwork. Through a systematic method, the brain will be strengthened; more energy will be added to it. Through chaotic methods the brain is nullified. It has nothing to do. The method is so chaotic that the center is automatically pushed from the brain to the heart. If you do my method of Dynamic Meditation vigorously, unsystematically, chaotically, your center moves to the heart. Then there is a catharsis.

A catharsis is needed because your heart is so suppressed, due to your brain. Your brain has taken over so much of your being that it dominates you. There is no place for the heart, so the longings of the heart are suppressed. You have never laughed heartily, never lived heartily, never done anything heartily. The brain always comes in to systematize, to make things mathematical, and the heart is suppressed. So firstly, a chaotic method is needed to push the center of consciousness from the brain toward the heart.

Then catharsis is needed to unburden the heart, to throw off suppressions, to make the heart open. If the heart becomes light and unburdened, then the center of consciousness is pushed still lower; it comes to the navel. The navel is the source of vitality, the seed source from which everything else comes: the body and the mind and everything.

I use this chaotic method very considerately. Systematic methodology will not help now, because the brain will use it as its own instrument. Nor can just the chanting of bhajans help now, because the heart is so burdened that it cannot flower into real chanting. Consciousness must be pushed down to the source, to the roots. Only then is there the possibility of transformation. So I use chaotic methods to push the consciousness downward from the brain.

Whenever you are in chaos, the brain stops working. For example, if you are driving a car and suddenly someone runs in front of you, you react so suddenly that it cannot be the work of the brain. The brain takes time. It thinks about what to do and what not to do. So whenever there is a possibility of an accident and you push the brake, you feel a sensation near your navel, as if it were your stomach that is reacting. Your consciousness is pushed down to the navel because of the accident. If the accident could be calculated beforehand, the brain would be able to deal with it; but when you are in an accident, something unknown happens. Then you notice that your consciousness has moved to the navel.

If you ask a Zen monk, "From where do you think?" he puts his hands on his belly. When Westerners came into contact with Japanese monks for the first time they could not understand. "What nonsense! How can you think from your belly?

But the Zen reply is meaningful. Consciousness can use any center of the body, and the center that is nearest to the original source is the navel. The brain is furthest away from the original source, so if life energy is moving outward, the center of consciousness will become the brain. And if life energy is moving inward, ultimately the navel will become the center.

Chaotic methods are needed to push the consciousness to its roots, because only from the roots is transformation possible. Otherwise you will go on verbalizing and there will be no transformation. It is not enough just to know what is right. You have to transform the roots; otherwise you will not change.

When a person knows the right thing and cannot do anything about it, he becomes doubly tense. He understands, but he cannot do anything. Understanding is meaningful only when it comes from the navel, from the roots. If you understand from the brain, it is not transforming.

The ultimate cannot be known through the brain, because when you are functioning through the brain you are in conflict with the roots from which you have come. Your whole problem is that you have moved away from the navel. You have come from the navel and you will die through it. One has to come back to the roots. But coming back is difficult, arduous.

Traditional methods have an appeal because they are so ancient and so many people have achieved through them in the past. They may have become irrelevant to us, but they were not irrelevant to Buddha, Mahavira, Patanjali or Krishna. They were meaningful, helpful. The old methods may be meaningless now, but because Buddha achieved through them they have an appeal. The traditionalist feels: "If Buddha achieved through these methods, why can't I?"

But we are in an altogether different situation now. The whole atmosphere, the whole thought-sphere, has changed. Every method is organic to a particular situation, to a particular mind, to a particular man. The fact that the old methods don't work doesn't mean that no method is useful. It only means that the methods themselves must change. As I see the situation, modern man has changed so much that he needs new methods, new techniques.

WHAT IS KUNDALINI , GUIDE TO KUNDALINI


WHAT IS KUNDALINI

        Kundalini is a Sanskrit word that literally means "snake." Kundalini is a type of energy that sits dormant in the first chakra, at the base of the spine. Kundalini is also called "serpent power" because this sleeping spiritual force in every human being lies coiled at the base of the spine.

It has different names, chi, prana, sometimes it is called shakti. The more Kundalini you have, the more alive and awake you are.
Once awakened, it rises through a series of centers, also called chakras, and finds expression in the form of spiritual knowledge and mystical visions.


The kundalini rises through these centers from the base of the spinal column all the way to the top of the head, where the thousand-petaled-lotus chakra is located. When kundalini reaches the seventh chakra with its entire power, this spiritual energy develops its full majestic force in the form of enlightenment.
HOW DOES IT FEELS WHEN KUNDALINI IS FLOWING

Feel better about life.
You have more energy;
You are happier,
You sick less.
You just tend to see the bright and beautiful side of everything.
You just feel life at a more intense level

In the physical world, our bodies run on various fuels such as food, liquids, and oxygen. But the physical body is only the most superficial manifestation of what we really are.
At the subtle level, Kundalini is the fuel which keeps our subtle bodies running. Just as we need food and water to survive on the gross physical level, so we also need Kundalini to survive at the subtle level.So everyone who is alive has a certain amount of Kundalini flowing through their subtle bodies. Most people are operating at a starvation level with regard to Kundalini energy.
They have just barely enough flowing to keep alive, nothing more


MEDITATION AND KUNDALINI ENERGY

The process of meditation is the process by which one bring Kundalini energy up from the lowest chakra to the higher level chakras and experience clarity of mind, peace, joy and bliss state of the mind. Ultimately bringing the Kundalini up to the crown chakra and attaining Enlightenment.

Kundalini is like life force energy.
When a child is conceived in womb, life force energy enter the body. It is the movement of Divine Consciousness.
 It is divine consciousness that animates all things.
 It is the "Life Force“ which run juice in each and every heart, each and every tree.The movement of Kundalini is what we know as "Life". The difference between a corpse and a living man is the flow of Kundalini.

NADIS AND KUNDALINI

There are 72,000 subtle-channels. Of these channels, the three main subtle-channels are:
Sushumnānāḍī, that is, the central channel that extends from base of spine to the top of the head,
Pingalānāḍi or the Sūryanāḍi (sun channel), that is, the channel that runs to the right of the Sushumnanadi,

Iḍānāḍī or the Chandranāḍī (moon channel),
that is, the channel that runs to the left of the Sushumnanadi.

WHAT HAPPEN WHEN KUNDALINI PASSES CHAKRA

      Kundalini passes each chakra along the Sushumnanadi,
See various vision, dream
Extra sensitive experiences
5 senses become very subtle
chakra over active/inactive
Person may experience a heightened activity associated with that area.

Involuntary jerks, shaking
Intense heat
Less sleep
Feeling of Deep meditation
Want to become more alone
Want to be in out of crowd
Want to go to nature
Want to cry/weep/feel gratitude/feel love
Spine become extra heated,
see colors, visions
Past life Visions
Future event may see.
Sound/taste/ smell/touch/see more sensitive
Intense feelings of pleasure
Particular emotions become dominant for short periods of time.

KUNDALINI AND OUR GROWTH

Kundalini has the capacity to ‘wash’ away our deepest tensions,
Eliminate our misunderstandings
Connect our true nature,
Expand the flow of creative energy
Experience of consciousness within us.
It is the seat of ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE.
Direct transmission of spiritual power
Spiritual freedom.
It connect to GRACE (love).
Rising of the kundalini is blissful
Kundalini is the energy of the DIVINE
It binds us when we live  in this world,
Kundalini liberates us when we return this energy to its divine origin.



The practice of kundalini awakening meditation is to properly awakening and then guiding it through the nadis or channels, up the psychic channel Central Channel.
If more energy flows through left and right or central channel, person tend to have different personality type

 CHAKRA AND NADIS


The chakras are the energy centers to receive and give energy from surrounding.
Each chakra is connected with particular organ and glands.
The seven principal chakras can be seen psychically as colourful, multi-petaled wheels or lotuses.
 They are situated along the spinal cord from the base to the cranial chamber.

Nadis are the astral tubes made up of astral matter that carry psychic currents.
 It is through these Nadirs that the vital force or Pranic current moves or flows.

      Kundalini energy when awakened, will pass through Sushumna Nadi and this is possible only when the Nadis are pure.
Therefore, the first step in Kundalini Yoga is the purification of Nadis.
