DHYANA INSTRUCTIONS
A meditation that is done before receiving
Deeksha.Over
5,000 years ago yogi masters spent many years experimenting with various sounds
to find the most precise ones to open, clear, and balance the chakras. The purpose
was to clear the way for kundalini to rise fluidly and flawlessly up the spine
to the crown. The sounds in this meditation are the result of their efforts so
long ago. When the chakras are fully open and kundalini rises perfectly to meet
the deeksha energies, the state of enlightenment can occur more easily. Note
that in this meditation the position of the chakras may be different to the model
that you use. The first chakra is at the perineum, the second chakra is the genitals
and there is no chakra at the solar plexus. Chakra
Dhyana Instructions Sit
with your spine straight. Rest your hands on your thighs with palms facing up,
and index fingertips touching the base of each thumb. Take several long, slow,
easy deep breaths until your body becomes calm. (It is best to sit during this
meditation, not lie down.) Beginning
with the first chakra, focus on its indicated area while chanting (either aloud
or inwardly) an elongated LANG (laaaaannnng) as you exhale. Repeat this process
seven times while visualizing the golden light of kundalini filling the chakra,
then flowing upward into the next chakra. Do the same with the second chakra and
continue until you have progressed through all seven.

(pronounce A-long, U-medium, M-short duration,

Mantra: Ogum Satyam Om (phonetic pronunciation:
oh goom, sat yum, om)
Imagine the golden light flowing up through all the chakras,
out the top of your head, and fountaining down all around you. Lie
down immediately after the meditation and relax for several minutes, or as long
as you like. Yoga's Corpse Pose is good for this (on back with arms loosely to
the sides, palms up, legs slightly apart). Notice
the dynamics of the energy in your body as the kundalini flows. (Copyright
