21 Essential Chakra Meditation Practices for Total Wellbeing
 

So excited! In past SF posts I shared my meditation practice as taught by my Teacher, Kundalini Master Sadguru Sri Vasudeva. I've grown and gone so much deeper into these and now want to share some more. I hope this is useful to you. :hug3:


Since August 26, 2017 Sri Vasudeva has been presenting a really exciting 21-Day Facebook LIVE series focused on energizing the chakras so we can experience their consciousness and bring total wellbeing to every area of our lives, not only the physical body or the mental body. When he says "total" he really means "TOTAL"! A balanced life, in a mystical sense, means engaging with every chakra and when we do it deliberately - consciously - we start to gain that self-mastery that makes living in the human experience so super amazing!

I power up my day each morning with these - live 6:15am EST time

Day 5 Multidimensionality in meditation
 

5. Aug.30/17 Multidimensionality in meditation

A simple introduction to meditation on the 7 chakras from the level of the subtle body.

Every morning wake up, get out of bed, brush teeth, pranayama, dress up, wake up the chakras bringing the mind into a more peaceful space, to prepare for the day on all levels of being...then I'm ready to go out the door..................:icon_bounce: :blob3:

On to Day 7 - more secrets of the subtle body
 

Day 7 link


Loving learning the secrets of my subtle energy anatomy, learning how to master it, and all the fruits it brings into my life, with the help of a real master............................................ ................:love1:

You see....what's the point of guided meditation? How can someone meditate with someone else telling them what to think, see, feel etc, the whole time.
That isn't meditation.

I can understand its use for a first-timer but beyond that meditation is individual. If someone wants to meditate silently or with, say, their choice of music / nature sound,
they have to practice the disciplines to still themselves enough to do it. Someone telling them what to do is leading them down a route that isn't their own.

But....I'm always ready to be informed....

What's the point of guided meditation?
 

I like what you're saying as it makes perfect sense. For me, I listen to his teaching, and then follow his guided meditation which is really kind of a hypnotic suggestion so the teaching goes really deep into my subconscious. So later on when I do my solo meditation without any guidance, that download is already there deep in my being and intuitively (consciously or unconsciously) it will come up again and things just go deeper and deeper as I work with my inner guidance or allow it to work on me.

And being his disciple, the sound of his voice always triggers a very powerful effect on Kundalini within me.

And the other thing is no matter that I have been meditating my whole life, for every meditation I do I take the attitude that I am a total beginner. That too takes me deeper into myself.

Today I'm really excited about this teaching where he goes into the mastery of the senses and the elements - which is the whole background to the constant chatter in my mind:


But it's interesting to hear how other people approach this and I'm always open to new ideas.

Then chanting monks would not be meditation as well.......

Disciple?

Kundalini. Did you have one already? Or are you just talking about the flow of energy?

We all have Kundalini within us (either it is somewhat asleep or awake to some degree) so I'm not sure what you mean by "Did you have one already?"

I was talking Kundalini movement in my case. As a disciple I feel a strong connection with my Guru's energy so it has that effect on mine, the effect of stirring it to move. In a deeper sense though, the two are one.

I talk about the real kundalini experience. That you feel this enormous energy rising to the top of your head from your tail bone. Not just feeling energy in your lower spine.

I do not understand how you can see yourself as disciple. I do not think that is what this is all about......following a guru. It is about YOU, spirits and universal energy. I think

Kundalini as the Inner Guru
 

That's usually the beginning of a "real Kundalini experience" (for some people who need it - but not everybody needs this). An energy experience or "kryia" is a manifestation of Kundalini purifying or unblocking the system. The real unblocking is at the level of consciousness transformation - a deep change in the ego of the person relative to the chakra where the change is happening. This can take a moment, or weeks, or months, or a lifetime or lifetimes. The "real Kundalini experience" is to know this is my Higher Self, as my inner Guide, as the God within. As Sri Vasudeva says, reality is that which never changes. Kundalini is a name for the power of God when it is manifesting in the human experience within us.

This meditation series is about working with that evolutionary energy of Kundalini manifesting in the subtle body in a conscious and deliberate way. This means learning how to invoke Kundalini, not forcibly, but naturally, more like an invitation to bring that deep Source energy from within to every chakra. How? By using techniques to work from the outside in (focus, pranayama, bandhas and other yogic techniques). AND if the Kundalini has awakened in you, you can also invite Her to the chakra you are working on.

This 21-day series is not focused on enlightenment but rather on very practical exercises to live life in total wellbeing - engaging all the chakras - because the seven chakras cover every area of life: physical, emotional, mental, communicative, intellectual and expansive. It's like going into the real "brain" and "nervous system" of the entire being and enhancing everything. Enlightenment doesn't just "happen". We have to work for it. We have to become deserving of it. This is another way to do that.


A true guru manifests the same thing that the inner Guru manifests. A true Guru can awakened the Kundalini within through their power of shaktipat (energy transference). Once Kundalini (the inner Guru) is awakened, She naturally begins to guide from the inside. This, it is said, is when the real spiritual journey begins - because it is now operating at the level of consciousness transformation, not only energy experiences (which are more superficial). But this consciousness transformation journey is not an easy journey. That's why I became a disciple (a student) of my outer Guru, to help me understand and work with the awakened inner Guru.

Thank you for your questions as I'm sure other people are wondering the same thing. :hug3:
