Kundalini & Chakra

Meditation

Sit with your eyes closed, spine erect but not rigid.

Rest your hands on your thighs with palms facing up, 

(index fingertips touching the tip of each thumb for the first three chakras, 

touching the middle joint of each thumb for the fourth & fifth chakras 

and the base of the thumb for the sixth & seventh chakras).

Take several long, slow, easy deep breaths 

breathing through your nose, until your body becomes calm. 

Sit during this meditation. Do not lie down. 

As we come to each chakra, focus your attention on the 

indicated area of your body. With each exhale chant the 

mantra that is given in a slow, elongated fashion. Begin 

with the root chakra (Mooladhara) and work upward to the

Crown (Sahasrara). 

At the end always allow the energy to 

ground, flowing down through your body, and spend a few 

minutes in meditation or lie on your back in shavasan.

1. Begin with the Mooladhara chakra, located at the perineum,

midway between your anus and genitals.

Say "Om Mooladhara".

Visualize its red color. Slowly repeat "Lang" (pronounced lung)

for a few minutes, then visualize the chakra turning liquid gold as you

say "Kundalini arohanum" (which means "Kundalini arise!") several times.

2. Swadhisthana chakra, located in the genital or sacral region.

Say "Om Swadhisthana".

Visualize its orange color. Say "Vang" (pronounced vung)

for a few minutes, then visualize the chakra turning liquid

gold as you say "Kundalini arohanum" several times.

3. Manipura chakra, located at the navel.

Say "Om Sri Mani Padme Hum".

Visualize its yellow color. Say "Rang" (pronounced rung)

for a few minutes, then visualize the chakra turning liquid

gold as you say "Kundalini arohanum" several times.

4. Anahata chakra, in the center of your chest, your spiritual heart.

Say "Om Anahata".

Visualize its green color. Say "Yang" (pronounced yung)

for a few minutes, then visualize the chakra turning liquid

gold as you say "Kundalini arohanum" several times.

5. Vishuddhi chakra, located in the center of your throat,

Say "Om Vishuddhi".

Visualize its blue color. Say "Hang" (pronounced hung)

for a few minutes, then visualize the chakra turning liquid

gold as you say "Kundalini arohanum" several times.

6. Ajneya chakra, located between our eyebrows.

Say "Om Ajneya".

Visualize its indigo color. Say "AUM"

in a 3-2-1 ratio. "A-A-A-O-O-M" for a few minutes,

then visualize the chakra turning liquid gold

as you say "Kundalini arohanum" several times.

7. Sahasrara chakra, located at the center

of the top of your head.

Say "Om Sahasrara".

Visualize its violet color, pastel purple.

Say "Ogum Satyam Om" for a few minutes, then

visualize the chakra turning liquid gold as you say

"Kundalini arohanum" several times.

Lie down with your eyes closed immediately after the meditation, 

and relax for at least 10 or 20 minutes, or as long as 

you like. Yoga's Corpse Pose, Shavasana, is good for this 

(eyes closed, on your back with arms loosely to the sides, 

palms up, legs slightly apart). Let go. Enjoy. Notice the 

dynamics of the energy in your body as the kundalini flows.

In my groups I often use this variation: The energy can be exhaled all the way down down through the feet into the earth, down into the core of the planet and out to all the sentient beings living on the earth, turning the entire world golden. Then one would inhale from the earth up through the soles of the feet to the crown (and through the crown into the heavens) and exhale down from the crown through the feet into the earth. This is very powerful, uniting heaven and earth and bringing healing and transformation to the planet and to all living creatures on the earth.

Variants of this "grounding principle" can also be found in Taoist breathing exercises like the Microcosmic Orbit. This is accomplished through simultaneously cultivating and carefully balancing both the rising (yang) and descending (yin) energies, moving the kundalini energy up the back and down the front of the body in a complete circle, like the snake swallowing its tail, the “ouroboros” of Western alchemy. In Taoist culture, this is known as the “microcosmic orbit”, and among many other benefits, it is an instant solution to almost all the negative side-effects related to raising kundalini without sufficient grounding and balance.
