MEDITATION FOR THE ACTIVATION OF VISHUDDHA CHAKRA
The fifth center of force, Vishuddha Chakra, is placed on a subtle level outside of the physical body, at the base of the throat.
The corresponding element is ether and through resonance with this center of force, the practitioner also resonates with its subtle energies known as akasha tattva.
This center of force is represented as a lotus with 16 petals. The bija mantra for the activation of Vishuddha Chakra is HAM.
This center of force is connected to superior creativity, sublime inspiration, aesthetic experiences and eloquence.
The practitioner may awaken Vishuddha Chakra through the perseverant practice of certain asanas, bandhas, pranayama techniques and/or meditations.
In the case of a balanced activation of Vishuddha Chakra, the practitioner will manifest good communication skills and understanding, artistic talent, refinement, and a pleasant, attractive voice.
THE MEDITATION ITSELF:
Sit in Ardha-Matsyendrasana. Close your eyes. Practice this asana as much as possible so that you may sit in it for 20-30 minutes, without any pain.
Maintain this pose, without moving, focusing your attention on the area of the neck, which corresponds to the physical projection of Vishuddha Chakra.
You can use either music designed specifically to aid your meditation, or you can mentally repeat the bija mantra. If you want to use musical support for your meditation, you should check the Tantric Meditation Music section on our site.
If you chose the second option, you should act in the following manner:
Focus on the area of the neck and mentally repeat the mantra HAM. After each repetition of the mantra, relax and listen calmly for the inner echo of this mantra.
Do not allow any other thoughts to disturb your concentration. Repeat the mantra constantly, and then listen for its echo inside your inner universe.
Perceive the activation of Vishuddha Chakra, and the awakening of your inner consciousness.
MEDITATION FOR THE ACTIVATION OF AJNA CHAKRA
The sixth center of force, Ajna Chakra, is placed on a subtle level corresponding to the physical body, in the middle of the forehead.
This center of force is represented as a lotus with 96 petals. The bija mantra for the activation of Ajna Chakra is AUM.
Through Ajna Chakra the practitioner perceives and controls their mental energies. Ajna Chakra is also known as the third eye, because through the awakening of this center you will gain clairvoyance and infallible mental insight.
Certain yogic texts mention the fact that the third eye makes it possible to achieve a certain “visual” perception of the astral and mental phenomena and corresponding realities just as the physical eyes allow us to see the physical world.
The awakening of this center of force will grant you access to the various experiences of your individual soul during all its incarnations.
If this center of force is activated and balanced, you will benefit from becoming inventive, brilliant, a fast thinker, intuitive and philosophical. You will also obtain great mental insight and clarity and will be endowed with a strong moral and ethical sense.
THE MEDITATION ITSELF:
Perform Padmasana. Close your eyes. Make sure you have practiced this pose long enough so that you may relax in it for 20-30 minutes, without any pain.
Maintain this pose, without moving, focusing your attention on the area of your forehead, which is the location of Ajna Chakra.
You can use either music designed specifically to aid your meditation, or you can mentally repeat the bija mantra. If you want to use musical support for your meditation, you should check the Tantric Meditation Music section on our site.
If you chose the second option, you should act in the following manner:
Simply focus on the middle area of your forehead and mentally repeat the mantra AUM.
After each repetition of the mantra, relax and listen calmly its inner echo. Do not allow any other thoughts to disturb your concentration.
Repeat the mantra constantly, and then listen very carefully to its echo in your inner universe.
Perceive then, the activation of Ajna Chakra, state of mental clarity, lucidity and balance.
