Finding the chakras
Finding the chakras means locating each of the six, coccyx to medulla, by feeling inside the body rather than pointing, picturing or visualizing. A body cue marks each: squeezing the anus, stopping urine, sucking in the gut, the shock of love, a guttural "ka", the "aha" at the medulla. It comes before OM Japa in the chakras.

01:04“The first thing that we need to do is we need to locate the chakras, and we can't do this through imagination.”00:01“Today I want to talk about finding the chakras inside.”03:39“What is the correct location when I'm putting my mind on the third chakra?”01:01“So this is a second way to find your chakras and to understand them, and that's what I want you to walk away with.”00:33“So, first, let's find the medulla, and we're going to find it mentally, because all of the centers that are inside of the body that the yogi is using, he wants to find them internally through his own process, and that takes a little bit of feeling internally.”00:18“So the way that I describe the medulla oblongata is, first of all, you've got to find all of these with your mind, and it's like, ah, that's okay.”00:27“So the thing is, you can't find them just by pointing to them.”02:57“You have to go through the exercise of feeling inside and locating the place inside of your body by your feeling.”10:58“So I've got a couple guides here, finding the chakras through the animalistic connection of the emotions, finding the chakras through the body itself.”03:29“You find any chakra in the body, not with your fingers, but with your heart mind.”13:14“Just scroll back on my channel just a little ways, and you'll find finding the chakras.”09:21“We started to find again the chakras, and we're not going to point.”13:17“You can find your chakras and you can go in there mentally, feel them mentally.”
