Kundalini Yoga Practice on Superphysics

Rules and Preparation

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The aspirant who earnestly wishes to follow the path of kundalini yoga has to approach the path of kundalini yoga with a different attitude. His whole life must become a sadhana and he must be totally devoted to his practices and his goal. He will need to live a life of moderation and higher awareness in the midst of his daily responsibilities. He or she has to be a warrior in life and must seek the guidance of a competent guru who can point the way for the spiritual quest ahead. The kundalini yogi has to be ardent and faithful to his practice and his guru’s instructions. He will need to devote more time each morning to perfect the practices given in this book.

Posture

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Most of the practices for specific chakras and the kundalini kriyas are done in a sitting position, or meditative asana.

The best sitting asana is siddhasana (for males) and siddha yoni asana (for females). Not only do these two asanas apply direct pressure on mooladhara chakra, but this pressure, when applied correctly, brings about an awakening and redirection of nervous energy and blood circulation upwards from the pelvic and abdominal regions to the brain. This extra energy is important in kundalini sadhana, since it keeps the voltage of prana shakti at a high level. The perineal pressure awakens the source of energy and actively distributes prana upwards to the higher centers.

Chakra Sadhana Course

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month by month we have given specific practices for the awakening of each chakra, one after the other. These practices must be adopted systematically. For the first month you should only perform the techniques for ajna chakra. Then in the second month, add those for mooladhara. In the third month add those for swadhisthana. In the fourth month do those practices for manipura and selected practices for ajna, mooladhara and swadhisthana chakras.

Practices for Ajna Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 1

Direct concentration on ajna chakra is very difficult, and for this reason, in tantra and yoga the mid-eyebrow center (which in fact is the kshetram of ajna), is used to awaken this chakra. This point is called bhrumadhya (‘bhru’ means eyebrow and ‘madhya’ means center), and it lies between the two eyebrows in the place where Indian ladies put a red dot and pandits and brahmins put a mark of sandal paste. This eyebrow center can be contacted by various techniques.

Practices for Muladhara Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 2

The process of awakening mooladhara chakra is not very difficult. It can be achieved by thousands of different methods, but the easiest of all is the concentration on the tip of the nose. This is because the part of the sensory cortex which represents mooladhara chakra is connected with the nose. At the same time, mooladhara chakra belongs to the earth element, which is directly related to the sense of smell. Therefore, we shall include nasikagra drishti - the practice of nosetip gazing, in this section, as well as moola bandha, which directly stimulates mooladhara chakra. Remember that mooladhara chakra does not have a kshetram.

Practices for Swadhisthana Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 3

The sadhana for awakening swadhisthana chakra is solely concerned with the uro- genital systems of the body - the prostate gland and testes in the male, and the genito- ovarian system in the female.

Practices for Manipura Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 4

There are several methods of awakening manipura chakra. According to hatha yoga, manipura is directly connected with the eyes. Ajna chakra and manipura chakra are very closely related to one another in the same way that vision and willful action are interdependent processes. Therefore, the practice of trataka brings about manipura awakening as well as ajna chakra awakening.

Practices for Anahata Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 5

Anahata chakra can be awakened very simply through the practice of ajapa japa. Japa means “repetition” and ajapa is the repetition of a mantra until it ultimately becomes the spontaneous form of your conscious awareness.

Practices for Vishuddhi Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 6

Vishuddhi chakra can be directly awakened through the practices of jalandhara bandha, vipareeta karani asana and ujjayi pranayama, all of which are essential for eventual mastery of kriya yoga. A minor chakra which is closely related to vishuddhi is called lalana chakra, which is located at the back of the roof of the mouth, at the soft palate, and it directly helps to awaken vishuddhi. For this reason, one of the kundalini kriyas, called amrit pan, is concerned with its direct stimulation. A simpler practice for awakening lalana is khechari mudra, which is described in this chapter. Preparatory practices Many asanas can be utilized for purifying vishuddhi chakra. The most important are: bhujangasana, sirshasana, matsyasana, supta vajrasana and sarvangasana.

Practices for Bindu Visarga

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 7

The bindu visarga trigger point is a tiny point at the top of the back of the head.

But this point cannot be located physically.

It can only be found when the nada or sound of bindu has been discovered and traced to its source.

Practices for Integrated Chakra Awareness

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Month 8

So far we have given a series of practices for each of the individual chakras. In this chapter we will describe practices which are concerned with overall awakening of the chakras.

Practice 3: Chaturtha pranayama

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Here is a practice that combines breathing, mantra and chakra awareness. Although it is not widely taught, it is a powerful technique that is both a pranayama and a meditation. Ghaturtha pranayama means, ‘pranayama of the fourth state’, or a transcendental state where words and definitions fail to reach. This practice will lead to deeper awareness and knowledge of the chakras. It is also a preparatory technique for kriya yoga as it develops sensitivity to both the psychic spinal passage and the chakras.

Your Sadhana Program

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The practices of kundalini yoga must be adopted systematically. We suggest that you practise and perfect the sadhana for each chakra for one month or more, before moving on to the next chakra sadhana. In this way, the sadhana will continue for eight months, as outlined below:

Kundalini Kriyas of Kriya Yoga

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The following tantnc kriyas provide what is possibly the most efficient method for systematically evolving man’s consciousness that has ever been developed. They are said to have been the teachings for the transcendental sadhana which Lord Shiva gave to his disciple and wife, Parvati.

The Kriya Yoga Practices

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

By tradition there are a total of 76 kundalini kriyas of kriya yoga. We present the following 20 main practices, which are sufficient for the daily practice of any sincere sadhaka.

Alternative method in utthan padasana

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

If maha mudra is practised in utthan padasana, then it must be done as follows: Place your hands on your bent knee, exhale completely and bend your head forward, eyes open. Repeat mentally, “mooladhara, mooladhara, mooladhara”. Inhale with ujjayi through the frontal passage from mooladhara to bindu, raising your head while moving from vishuddhi to bindu. Repeat “bindu, bindu, bindu”, and then exhale with ujjayi through the spinal passage, doing unmani mudra and being aware of the chakras en route. Hold the breath outside and bend forward to grasp the big toe of your extended foot to form utthan padasana. Press your chin against the chest to form jalandhara bandha. Practise moola bandha, uddiyana bandha and nasikagra drishti while still retaining the breath outside. Repeat mentally, “nasikagra - uddiyana - mool”, while simultaneously placing your awareness at the seats of these practices in turn. Repeat this cycle of awareness 3 times if you are a beginner, or up to 12 times if you are experienced. Then release nasikagra drishti, moola bandha and uddiyana bandha. Bring your hands to your knees and sit up straight. Release jalandhara but keep your head bent down. Bring your awareness back to mooladhara. Repeat the mantra “mooladhara, mooladhara, mooladhara”, and then ascend the frontal passage with ujjayi inhalation. Practise in this way for 4 full rounds or breaths with your right leg extended, then practise 4 times with the left leg extended, and finally 4 times with both legs extended. After the fourth time in each position, ascend once to bindu with ujjayi inhalation. Repeat the bindu mantra, descend to mooladhara and repeat its mantra, relax and then change legs.

Practices for Ajna Chakra

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

No. 13: Amrit pan (the quaffing of nectar)

Sit in siddhasana, siddha yoni asana or padmasana. Keep the eyes closed throughout and practise khechari mudra. Bring your awareness to manipura chakra, where there is a storehouse of a warm, sweet liquid. Exhale fully with ujjayi. Inhale with ujjayi, drawing a quantity of this liquid up to vishuddhi chakra through the spinal passage with the suction power of your breath. Remain at vishuddhi for some seconds. The nectar which you have raised from manipura will become icy cold at vishuddhi. Then with ujjayi, exhale up to lalana chakra (at the back of the soft palate), through the nectar passage. Blow the cool nectar up to lalana with the breath. Your breath will immediately disperse by itself once you have reached lalana. Immediately return your awareness to manipura chakra. With another ujjayi inhalation, continue the upward transfer of liquid. Practise 9 times in all.
