November 1, 2019, 19 min

Lahiri Mahasaya's three knots, felt in a downward progression in deep meditation: the magnetic tongue knot at the ajna chakra, the heart knot, and the spiraling coccyx knot. Chakras are explained as limbic-brain projections silenced by OM Japa, with advice to draw an overwhelming magnetic sensation back to the medulla or expand it toward the right hippocampus.
