What the chakras are

The brain projected into the body

  1. Projections of the Brain

    The limbic brain projects into the body: hurt in the heart, fear in the gut.

  2. Chakra by Chakra

    Each chakra shows itself through an animal reaction, from possessiveness at the coccyx to words stuck in the throat.

  3. Origin and Doorway

    A doorway at the front, a silent origin at the spine; OM Japa works back toward the origin.

Finding the chakras

Feel, don't picture

  1. Feel Each Chakra

    Find each chakra by feeling, never by pointing or picturing, with a body cue at each one.

  2. The Medulla

    A tiny screw turning into the base of the skull; resting there slows the heart and lengthens the breath.

  3. The Lotus Above

    Six chakras run from coccyx to medulla; the crown is the thousand-petaled lotus, and no breath goes through the brain.

OM Japa in the chakras

The practice

  1. OM Into Each Chakra

    Feel the chakra, mentally OM into it, feel it again, from the coccyx up to the medulla and back down.

Kriya Therapy

OM Japa through the day

  1. The Real Kriya Yoga

    OM into each negative emotion as it arises through the day; Ashok Singh called this the real Kriya Yoga.

  2. A Continuous Therapy

    What surfaces is resolved into a learning, so the past becomes a storehouse of wisdom rather than a torture chamber.
