TECHNIQUE TO RAISE THE PRANA INTO THE BRAIN

TECHNIQUE TO RAISE THE PRANA INTO THE BRAIN ;-

07 FACTS;-

1-First of all, you learn to perceive a circular movement of energy around the center of the brain, the so-called Cave of Brahma (third ventricle of the brain.) The breath is natural, not controlled. Practice Kechari Mudra to the best of your ability. Bend your head forward. Feel the energy present in the frontal region of your head and mentally vibrate Bha there. Without raising your chin to normal position, guide slowly your head in the position in which the head is bent toward the left shoulder – as if you try touching the left shoulder with your left ear. Feel the energy present in the left side of the brain (over your left ear) and mentally vibrate Ga there. From this position, guide slowly both your head and the flow of energy backwards in the occipital region of the brain. Mentally vibrate Ba there. Slowly guide your head in the position in which the head is bent toward the right shoulder – as if you try touching the right shoulder with the right ear. Mentally chant Teee on the right side of the brain (over your right ear.)

2- Always feel the flow of energy moving to each position. Slowly return to initial position with the head bent forward. Mentally vibrate Ba there. Now, slowly straighten your head and return with chin parallel to the ground while your attention moves toward the central part of your brain (the Cave of Brahma) under Fontanelle. Mentally vibrate Su there. This completes the first round. Repeat this practice 12 times, adding 12 breaths each month, until you reach 108 repetitions. At the end of each session, inhale deeply, focus all your attention in Fontanelle and listen to the internal sound of Om.This rotation of energy is, by some teachers, called Thokar Kriya. The reason is that during this practice the energy moves with pressure through the brain substance. Thokar has not the unique meaning of ''blow'' but also that of ''touching with pressure.'' This internal pressure, this friction (which will reach its peak during the next technique), creates the Divine Light manifestation.

3-The experience of this Light comes coupled with that of the Omkar internal Sound. After having completed the required number of rotations, it is not difficult to move to this last part in which the energetic movement happens in immobility. Repeat mentally, without hurry and without moving your head, the syllables Bha, Ga, Ba, Te, Ba, Su trying to perceive the same energetic movement you have previously induced. A ball of Light is turning inside your brain. After each round, this Light comes internally from the point between the eyebrows into the cave of Brahma. The pituitary and the pineal gland are enlivened and stimulated. Practice about 36 rounds during each Kriya routine. Then deepen your concentration in the ''Cave of Brahma.'' This is the seat of resonance with the ocean of cosmic Om vibration. When the soul rests here without thoughts, experiencing the Divinity of creation through Om, then Kundalini starts her journey upwards.

4- Note that If this practice makes you feel unfocused or spacey – as if you were under the influence of drugs, experiencing a state of too much euphoria – then it is wise to complete the practice by focusing upon the Chakras, namely practicing the mental Pranayama. Raising each Chakra The full meaning of Kechari – roaming in the space – is fully realized now. Therefore practice Kechari Mudra to the best of your ability. Focus on the 1st Chakra. Apply the teaching of the reversed breathing: inhale deeply and ideally raise the Muladhara Chakra in the central part of the brain, under Sahasrara, over Ajna Chakra. Visualize it as a disk large as the circulation of energy that you have previously created in the upper part of your head. Feel that the air is squeezed from the abdomen and stored in the upper part of the lungs.

5- Hold your breath and start to put into motion the rotation of the energy in the head just as you have learned to do previously. The rotation of the energy happens in the head but, at the same time, it happens also around the real location of the Muladhara Chakra at the base of the spine. Hence, two rotations of energy happen at the same time: it seems difficult but it will become natural. Remember also that at the end of each circle, the flow of energy is directed inside toward its center.This practice induces the experience of the Omkar sound. You will focus only upon it and won’t need Mantra chanting. The ideal number of rotations associated with each Chakra is 36 but a beginner is contented with a smaller number. Usually the need to breathe will disappear. Exhale when you need to exhale and guide the Muladhara Chakra back to its location at the base of the spine. Inhale raising the second Chakra and repeat the procedure. Repeat the procedure for each Chakra up to Ajna. Repeat it again for Ajna and then for all the other Chakras down to Muladhara.

6-The practice ends by breathing freely, putting all the attention in the Fontanelle. Peace, internal joy, breathless state, listening to internal sounds, perceiving the spiritual Light... this is what you will experience. Your practice of Kriya will become a love story with Beauty itself. Be sure, be confident: after a certain period of time, a remarkable experience of Kundalini awakening will happen. It will overcome you when you rest in the supine position. Without experiencing any start of surprise, you will find yourself ferried from a sweet dream to an authentic heaven; you will return to daily life with tears in your eyes – tears born of endless devotion.

7- You see the circulation of energy in the upper part of the head and, at the same time, around the heart Chakra When you master this procedure – when effortless Kumbhaka stabilizes and you are able to experience 36 (complete) rotations of Prana in your brain for each Chakra, namely rotations of energy during 12 Kumbhaka – then you will perceive the entire universe filled with the effulgence of Divine Light. Remark It is perfectly natural to approach this practice by slightly rotating your head (and also by mentally chanting the six syllables of the Mantra.) Although this is not required, this might be useful for beginners. If this happens, try to move gradually toward physical immobility and toward listening to actual Omkar Sound. The effect is that during the day, a state of never before experienced clarity of mind will surprise you. The foundation of your consciousness will be perceived as a continuous joy, having no reason whatsoever.

DHYANA ON THE DIVINE LIGHT ;-

06 FACTS;-

1-Through this practice a kriyaban has full experience of Divine Light. The state of TAT TVAM ASI manifests: Thou and I are One, and always have been One. During this time of divine oneness, one is devoid of body consciousness and unaware of one’s surroundings. To ordinary people it is a death-like state, but for an advanced practitioner it is divine ecstasy. The 8th Chakra is the door that puts you in contact with your astral body. Its opening involves the cleansing of what holds you to the cycle of death and rebirth, namely worn-out psychological patterns. It is the center of spiritual compassion and spiritual selflessness. A kriyaban who realizes the essence of this Chakra becomes completely selfless and lives with compassion rather than judgment. Some Kriya or Kundalini Yoga teachers explain that this Chakra is located 5-6 cm. over Fontanelle. Other locations are given: 8 cm., 30 cm., 60 cm. .... We must trust our perception.

2-Let us sweetly swing our trunk and head from side to side with the focus of attention over our head until we feel this Chakra. That is the right location! [a] Calm the breath Inhale, slowly drawing Prana from Muladhara to the 8th Chakra, 30 centimeters above the Fontanelle. During this procedure, don’t focus on any other Chakra in the spine. Move up feeling distinctly that the energy crosses the Fontanelle and reaches the 8th Chakra.Concentrate there and enjoy the equilibrium state between inhalation and exhalation. Exhale sweetly, letting Prana descend from the 8th Chakra to Muladhara. Feel distinctly that the energy, coming down, crosses the Fontanelle. In Muladhara, concentrate on the equilibrium state between exhalation and inhalation. When you feel the need to inhale repeat the procedure. Repeat again and again until the state of your consciousness is totally changed and your breath is very subtle, almost non-existent. Inhale sweetly from Muladhara to the 8th Chakra, raising breath and Prana.

3-Concentrate on the equilibrium state between inhalation and exhalation. Exhale sweetly from the 8th Chakra down the spine, but do not come down intentionally to the Muladhara Chakra. You will see that the exhaling current reaches spontaneously a certain point in the spine. This point is not necessarily one of the different Chakras. Wherever this point is, it is fundamental to feel it clearly inside the spine. This point becomes the starting point of the next inhalation. Inhale then from this new starting point into the 8th Chakra. The current comes up through the spine: now the length of the path is obviously shorter. Concentrate on the equilibrium state between inhalation and exhalation. Exhale sweetly down the spine: probably the exhaling current makes a shorter path, shorter than the previous. This is the new starting point. Inhale from this new position upwards... By repeating this procedure, you will reach a particular mental and physical condition in which you will remain breathless, with total focus on the 8th Chakra.

4-If, after a long pause, the breath appears again, repeat the process from the beginning (inhaling from Muladhara). Go ahead patiently, unperturbed. The point is to make the breath cease, entering a dimension where it is no longer necessary. [b] Circulation of Light around the 8th Chakra Rotate your awareness around the 8th Chakra. Perceive a ball of Light that makes a circulation around your 8th Chakra and then touches the center of this Chakra. Repeat many times this perception without any mental chanting of Mantra. During the next days increase the number of rotations (108 is a reasonable goal.)The breath moves between Bhuloka and Brahmaloka and then dissolves.Guide the Light toward the Cerebellum We now learn how to guide that ray of Light downwards, toward the Cerebellum.

5-Let the ball of Light do not come inward after tracing one circle but come down, piercing the Fontanelle at an angle. While the ray is coming down raise your chin and feel the ray of Light reaching your Cerebellum after piercing the Fontanelle. Remain immobile for a few seconds, wholly immersed in the intensity of the dazzling white Light shining from there to the whole brain. Lower your chin without losing the concentration upon the Light. Rest a moment there, and then repeat the procedure. Gradually during the next days repeat the experience more and more times (108 is a reasonable goal.) The Divine Light becomes stable at the Cerebellum. Concentration on the Pineal gland Perceiving constantly the Divine Light in Cerebellum is a very high state, but you must learn how to go beyond it. Our goal is to learn to locate your Pineal Gland and enter it.The Light moves from the Cerebellum to the Pineal gland.

6-When you are fully immersed in the experience of Light, very very slowly raise your chin (only a few millimeters) and your inner gaze to a 60° angle. Intuitively condense all the Light and direct it toward your Pineal Gland. The Pineal Gland is located above and behind the Ajna Chakra – white in color. Intuitively direct all the Light toward this point. The only information you need is that this point is is very near the Cerebellum, but slightly forward and above it, along a line forming a 60° angle (with the pavement.) Repeat and repeat your attempt until you succeed in entering the Pineal Gland. Here the union with the Divine takes place. It can take months or even years to complete successfully this procedure. After the Omkar sound ceases to exist the Effulgent Form appears. Nothing exists except the Sun of the Soul. I, Shama Churn, am that Sun. Lahiri Mahasaya is Shama Churn – Shyama Charan. This sentence is contained in Lahiri Mahasaya's diaries. Many sentences from the diaries are to be found in the book Purana Purusha by Dr. Ashok Kumar Chatterjee.
