January 27, 2023, 23 min

Lahiri Mahasaya's three knots as a downward progression in meditation: the tongue knot's magnetic pull at the spiritual eye, eased by drawing it back to the medulla; the heart knot, the inner body opening to feeling; and a spiral at the base of the spine. The upward Roll-Up of Consciousness through OM Japa into expansion runs alongside it.
