On Chakra Balancing

[Guest guest]

I have heard of the 8 chakra centers, the Sahasrara, Bindu, Ajna,

Vishuddha, Anahata, Manipura, Swdhisthana, and Muladhara.

 

Since, as I have been told before, that Sri Aurobindo's Purna yoga is

based on Kundalini, how do I properly meditate on these 8 centers? So

far I know of the Heart, Throat, and Third-eye chakras. However, I am

still missing the lower 5, and I believe I have more control on Anahata

than the others, so, on a lighter note, how do I balance these centers

of cosmic energy?

Bindu & Ajna(actually, it shud be spelled Agya, which means Command /

control) are the same, they are counted as 1. Bindu is at opposite end

of Agya, on back of head. It has its own special significance, which

is why sometimes it is mentioed as separate from agya, but I wont go

into that now.

Aurobindo didnt advise meditating on all 7 chakras, as that is proper

Tantra. He advised concetrating on agya(near eyebrows) or Heart(with

heart we mean heart chakra , in center of chest, on spine, near

physical heart). Aurobindo said Heart is better, as agya may lead to

inflamed ego.

 

The Heart is very important, as it is the seat of Conciousness, & in

Samadhi our awareness reaches heart(it is in eyes when awake, & throat

while sleeping).

 

To meditate on the Heart, you can visualise a white light there.

Another way is to imagine an open lotus petal, made of jewels &

shining brightly. If you want, you can imagine a beautiful Godess is

sitting in the jewelled lotus, as our Conciousness is taken as

female(Citi Shakti, or power of Conciousness in Tantra).

Can you give the source... as far as I have read Aurobindo, he does

not talk about chakra meditation etc.

 

Bindu is not a separate chakra ...but i think it is the centre of

Sahasradhara and Agya chakra ... a place well revered by Tantriks but

not accepted by other schools of yoga

In his Letters on Yoga(I cant remember which volume), Aurobindo

mentions the Chakras & their importance, but says that in his Purna

Yoga there will be no effort to open these Chakras. Rather, the Light

of the Divine, descending from the Sahasradar, will automatically open

the Chakras 7 make the Kundali rise, but the Sadhak will personally

make no effort to do this, just concentrate on surrendering to the

Divine Will.

 

In response to a question, Aurobindo said that if one must concentrate

on some Chakra, the heart is the best, as it is the center of

Awareness of Divine Love. Agya leads to inflated ego.
