Yoga Meditation - Mental Health Part 2

We had discussed earlier about the object and steps of meditation and sahajyoga. That why object is important in meditation. Mind is like restless child who roam around unnecessarily. The one way of achieving high meditation state is called kundalini jagran (it means Awakening of Kundalini).

Now let’s discuss what is the meaning of kundalini.


It is a form of yoga in which one has to meditate using its spinal cord. It is said that, at the base of the spinal cord every human being has a powerful, yet dormant source of energy. If it is achieved and controlled than you will be in very higher state of meditation. In Hindu history there very few people who said to be attained this higher state of mind such as Arjun from Mahabharata. It is said that once it is activated a human gains amazing divine powers like Telepathy, Hypnotism, and Clairvoyance. In fact complete success in life in any and every sphere can come only through the activation of all the Chakras.

This source of energy is known as the Muladhar Chakra from which three subtle channels known as Naadis rise up through the spine and reach thew brain. At five other centres of highly concentrated energy called Chakras.
But this process can be very intricate and difficult unless one is helped by an enlightened Master who has his own Kundalini fully activated, who is aware of all the processes of activation and who can activate the Kundalini of others.


In our yogshastra, it is said that inside the vertebral column, there are seven lotuses located on the Brahma Nadi. These are known as Chakra (spinal centres). Each lotus possesses different number of petals and also a distinct colour and significance.
Remember, one should never attempt such activation himself since such practices if performed without being guided by a Guru create various problems.


Some of the yoga exercise need to follow:
  1. Get up at five in the morning.
  2. Practice both kinds of Bhrastika Pranayam (fast breathing) five to twenty five times.
  3. Practice both kinds of Shaktichalini Mudra five to ten times.
  4. Practice Taran Mudra with four to hundred & one Pranayam
  5. Practice Praridhan Yukti Chalan Mudra.
  6. At last perform mental exercises of activating 'Chakra'.
I am sharing this information to let you know the various ways of meditation. You should remember that for any kind of meditation, the first important thing is pran sancharan (life attainment) by breathing exercise.
