Opening of your Charkas

It is a holistic way of unfolding all the potential you have as a human being. There are no shortcuts! If you work at developing your chakras, and really work at it (especially the Heart and the three sacred Higher Chakras) you will be able to do things a year from now that you would have thought impossible.

The basic Law of the Universe is that Energy Follows Thought. This is why we experience a LOSS of energy when we turn our attention to people or objects of an equal or lower vibratory rate than our own. This is called the Law of Descending Energy. However, just the opposite happens when we turn our attention to entities of a higher vibratory rate -- in this case we RECEIVE energy.

NOTE: Because the Heart Chakra is the most important chakra, please give your Heart Chakra most of your attention and develop it fully. It is one of the two psychic centers which are in direct connection with your Higher Self and through which soul energy and other higher energies enter your being (the other is through your Crown Chakra.)

The following exercises are designed to help cleanse and open (activate) your Heart Chakra.

 

Meditation:

This is NOT Hatha Yoga exercises. There should be no compression of breath. Your breathing should be normal, but deep.

1. Sit erect in a straight-back chair. Shut out all sound as best as you can and prevent interruption.

2. Close your eyes and turn your attention toward your heart.

3. In your imagination, enter your heart.

4. To your surprised, you are now standing on a green plain in the countryside. The sky above you is bright pink. In front of you is a green, grassy hill, and on top of the hill is a temple. This temple is your heart. Hold this visualization.

5. Now climb the hill. You walk up the grassy slope to the temple. You climb the steps of the temple and enter the center doorway. Observe the appearance of the temple. Is it swept clean? Or is it covered with dust?

6. Walk into the dimly lit interior and approach the central adytum. As you near, you can see a flickering light within. The flame grows brighter as you approach. It swells and recedes rhythmically with your own heart beat in the bowl-like depression in the center of the room.

7. Gaze upon this flame. Send it your energies. See it respond to your energies, watch it grow bright and strong as it reaches up to touch the ceiling 40 feet above. You are feeding the flame of your heart. You are stimulating it to growth. Breathe deeply and realize in the depth of your being that your heart center is coming alive.

8. Open your eyes and sit in quiet meditation for 5 minutes before rising and terminating the exercises.

Perform this exercise no more than 2X per week - at first.

 

Music: Listen to Classical, New Age, sacral music of the East or West. Let it awaken the power of love.

Voice: Sing the vowel "ah" (Ah!) in F

Mantra: YAM

Color: Green meadows and forests provide harmony and compassion. Feel empathy and experience inner peace and serenity. Pink loosens the tension in our heart and awakens feelings of love and also stimulates creative activity.

Aromatic: The fragrance of attar Roses harmonizes our well-being and awakens our perception of love, beauty, and harmony in all Creation.

Yoga: Bhakti Yoga


There has been much talk about the Ancient Egyptian's Initiation into the Sacred/Secret Mysteries. I have decided to tell you what I believe to be these secrets, and the final instructional exercise should help propel you on that journey.

What exactly is/was Initiation?

Initiation meant to become conscious on the highest/divine plane. This required the candidate to go through YEARS of mental, spiritual, and physical training and preparation to strengthen the nerves in the body to bear the high vibrations without harm.

And these exercises are where you start.

 

Sound has always played an important part in psychic development. Any uttered sound designed to achieve a human response is a mantram. Important among these are "tho," "ehm," "meh," and "err."

"Tho" is pronounced like "throw" without the "r." Emphasis is placed on the "th" sound. It effects the Throat Chakra and its corresponding gland, the thyroid gland.

"Ehm" is pronounced like "aim." It effects the thymus gland and is a beneficial influence upon the Heart Chakra.

"Meh" is pronounced like "met" but with an "h" ending instead of the "t." This has a soothing effect on the physical nervous system and a stirring influence on the Heart Chakra.

"Err" is pronounced "urr" and the "rr" sound is sustained at the end. This mantram is particularly helpful in clearing an upset or chaotic condition in the mind or emotions and should be used for that purpose.

More Heart Chakra Exercises:

(1) Turn your attention to your heart. Visualize energy flowing into and surrounding the heart by seeing that energy vibrating as a shining PINK cloud and intone the various mantra that stimulate the Heart Chakra - "ehm" and "meh." Practice this exercise 2X per week, preferably in the morning upon waking.

On the other days of the week, perform one or more of the following exercises:

(2) Mantram. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor, your spine straight and your head erect. Intone softly but quite audibly the following mantram 7X consecutively without pausing. Do NOT vary the tone.

RA-MEH-RA-MA-RA-MEH

(3) Color plus mantram. Sit as indicated before. Visualize a PINK cloud around your body at the level of the heart. See the cloud pulsate in rhythm with your heart's beat. Intone softly:

U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-UMM

The "U" is pronounced "ooh." Do this 3X. The intonations should coincide with the visualization of the PINK cloud.

(4) Energy Flow. Sit as indicated. Visualize a WHITE cloud of vibrant energy over your head. The cloud should be VERY white, like sunlight on newly fallen snow. Know that this cloud is composed of VITAL PRIMARY ENERGY OF THE HIGHEST SORT. Then, by an act of your WILL, bring this cloud down into your heart, entering the body at the left of the spinal column between the shoulder blades.

The above exercises will bring a great stimulus of energy to your Heart Chakra, and if you do nothing to dissipate it, or block it off or lower this energy to your lower body chakras (ie. stomach, intestines, sex organs) in between periods, you will find that after about 2 months certain changes are taking place within you.

Don't make the mistake of dissipating this precious heart energy on unworthy projects (ie. romantic affairs, etc.) If you permit it to help you as it can and will, you will find you are able to understand others better. You will catch their moods and sometimes read their thoughts. This will make you more understanding, tolerant and compassionate. Please understand that these are essential elements IF you are going to "safely" develop your Higher Sacred (Throat, 3rd Eye and Crown/3rd Eye) Centers.

Commentary: I want you to know that I left out all the preparatory exercises that led up to these exercises, such as, envisioning a pink cloud totally engulf the room you are in for one minute, then change the color to blue, then white; listening to the sound of a single solitary violin play a song in your mind for one minute; think no thought for one minute (and that means NOT thinking of NOT THINKING OF A SINGLE THOUGHT, which is seemingly impossible but is NOT impossible once you get it); all those exercises that train you HOW TO THINK and CONCENTRATE, etc., not to mention the breathing exercises!!!! (But, if you have done any serious meditation training, you should already know these basics, right?)

Also, feel free to do the above exercises more frequent than the prescribed doses, and feel free to invent some of your own exercises. But don't over do it! It won't help; in fact, it may slow your progress.

 

The exercises that follow are quite different from those given for the Heart and especially those for the lower Solar, Sacral and Root chakras, which I did NOT post because we pay way too much attention to them already (ie. eating, sex, drinking, etc.)


With the exercises that follow, first you will practice color visualization, then you will chant mantrams, then you will combine sound and color, and so on. These training exercises must proceed in stages to be effective !!!

If you by-pass the preliminary exercises and go directly to the most sophisticated, nothing will happen.

The purpose is to provide you with the means to open your psychic centers so that you can bring higher psychic energies into your being and under your control. Your physical apparatus cannot perform the functions required until it has been trained and developed. But if you follow the recommended sequence and remain long enough at each stage, you will be surprised by the most gratifying results.

 The 6th and 7th Chakra make up the Head Center. Physiologically, they are associated with the pituitary and pineal gland respectively. Develop the Head Center (pituitary and pineal glands) BEFORE proceeding to the Throat (5th) Chakra.

The pituitary gland is the physical organ which is the point of transfer for impressions and ideas. It is a very small, shapeless organ about 1/8" in diameter located in your head about 1" behind the root of the nose between the eyes.

The pineal gland is located behind the pituitary gland in almost the exact center of your head. It is also a small, fleshy organ about the size of the pituitary. It is one of the two points in your physical body which is in contact with the soul and where soul energy enters your body.

The soul is your Higher Self, and it is your Higher Self that is fully aware of all that you think and do, including all the impressions that come to you. But since your conscious awareness is focused in the physical brain, you do not partake consciously of the energies and knowledge which your Higher Self possesses. But as you develop these two head chakras, they will grow larger and finally make contact with each other by way of what is called the antahkarana or psychic bridge -- which is not a physical phenomena, btw.

At first this pathway will be small and only limited communication will be possible. But eventually inspiration and intuitive flashes will surface in your consciousness. As you continue to develop these two chakras, the antahkarana will enlarge and strengthen and your intuitive powers will grow and your understanding will broaden.

IMPORTANT: The exercises for the Pituitary gland (Third Eye) should be started well BEFORE any attempts are made to develop the pineal gland (Crown Chakra.)

Likewise, a substantial effort should be made to develop the Heart Chakra BEFORE any attempt is made to develop the Head Center and Throat Chakra.

Everything in stages. Remember this.

 PITUITARY GLAND

Music: Any sound that will relax and open your mind and that which evokes images or feelings of cosmic dimensions. New Age music. Western Classical (ie. Bach.) will stimulate and harmonize the Third Eye chakra.

Voice: Sing the vowel "e" as in easy in key of A

Mantra: KSHAM

Color: Yellow and transparent indigo has an opening and purifying effect on the sixth chakra.

Aromatic: The refreshing scent of Mint dissolves blockages and helps rid oneself of old, confining thought patterns. It clears and brightens the mind, stimulating concentration.

Jasmine also opens the mind to images and visions which carry the messages of deeper truth. It sharpens our senses and combines the energies of the third eye chakra with the heart chakra.

Yoga: Jnana Yoga is the way of awareness based on the development of the mind's capacity to distinguish between real and the unreal, the eternal and the transitory.

Yantra Yoga are pictorial symbols depicting geometrical forms which represent the divine Being in all its aspects. They serve as an aid to visualization.

The exercises that follow combine visualization, sound, and breathing.

(1) Mantram: Sit erect. Close your eyes.
Sound RA-MA seven times. Pause. Repeat 7X. Pause. Repeat 9X.
Inhalation should be quick and deep. Be sure to maintain a tightened muscular structure in your erect spine and keep your abdominal muscles solid throughout the exercise. This will allow the psychic centers to become more active, particularly the all important Heart Center.

(2) Visualize a bright YELLOW slightly tinged with green, like sunlight falling through the leaves of trees, while sounding the following mantram 3 times:

RA-RA-RA, MA-MA-MA
RA-A-A -- MA-A-A

(3) Energy Flow: Visualize the same sunlight YELLOW.
Direct the color to the area of the pituitary gland in your
forehead between your eyes and SILENTLY intone the following 3X:

RA-A-A, MA-A-A

The first noticeable effect of the pituitary (Third Eye) exercises will be an increase in your powers of observation, a speeding up in your thinking process, and an improvement in your memory. AFTER this is observed, then proceed to the pineal gland (Crown Chakra) exercises.

Meanwhile, continue your Heart and Lower Chakra exercises. Don't stop the on-going process! You need to open all chakras and fully develop the all-important Heart Chakra.

AFTER YOU HAVE STARTED TO DEVELOP YOUR PITUITARY GLAND, THEN PROCEED WITH THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES FOR THE PINEAL GLAND.

 

PINEAL GLAND

Meditation: Spend time alone on the peak of a high mountain or some place far away from your earthly cares and let go of the events of your personal life. Feel a sense of space and boundlessness.

Music: The best music is complete SILENCE.

Voice: The sound "m" opens the crown chakra. It resembles an endless humming vibration and should be sung in B. It represents unity and the pure, unformed and unlimited consciousness that contains all matter in its latent form.

Mantra: OM

Color: Violent and White will have an expanding effect.

Violet brings about a transformation of mind and soul and opens both to spiritual dimensions of being.

White contains all the colors of the spectrum. It integrates the different levels of life to a higher unity and opens our souls to divine light, knowledge and healing.

Aromatic: Olibanum is the classical incense that is burnt in religious ceremonies. It consists of the resin of the olibanum tree. Its fragrance has a revitalizing effect on mind and soul and purifies the atmosphere.

Lotus blossoms is the symbol of beauty and spiritual completeness. Although the enlightened person lives in the mud (earthly) material world, this in no way affects their true Self in his union with God. Light and harmony radiate out of such people, spreading love, joy and knowledge to the world. The scent of the lotus flower bears the same message, guiding the receptive and ready soul on its path to Unity.

 

 For now, it is suggested to do only one exercise for the Higher Mind, which is described below. You will notice that the exercise is a combination of all techniques offered.

(1) Sit erect as previously instructed.
Focus your attention on the pineal gland, which is located in the center of your head at the level of your ears but slightly lower than the pituitary.

(2) Visualize a VIOLET color (shading toward pink).
See this energy envelop the pineal gland in a sort of haze.

Audibly sound "AUM" seven times in full voice.
Pause. Silently repeat 7X.
Pause. Then audibly repeat 7X.

Note: When the silent chanting it properly employed, it is more effective than the audible intonation in stimulating the pineal area. Yes, this is very true. So study it !

The audible intonation of "AUM" should end in a sustained humming sound. Locate the vibrations of this sound in the pineal gland. Feel them massage the gland until it responds with a similar vibratory action, almost as if it were glowing in this violet-pink color.

Practice this series -- audible - silent - audible -- 2X per day, preferably in the early morning and just before retiring each day. Continue this exercise for several weeks BEFORE attempting the Throat (5th) Chakra exercises.

The 5th THROAT chakra

The Throat Chakra is located just forward of the spinal column immediately behind the Adam's apple.

 

Meditation: Meditate on the transparent blue of a clear sky. Lie down on the grass and relax. The reflection of the blue sky on a stretch of blue water will have a liberating effect on your feelings.

Music: Any music with rich high tones as well as meditative dancing or singing will have a stimulating influence. To harmonize and relax the throat chakra, listen to peaceful New Age music with echo effects. It will liberate the "inner ear."

Voice: Sound the vowel "eh" in G

Mantra: HAM

Color: A light clear shade of blue will create calmness and open you up to spiritual inspiration.

Aromatic: The tangy fragrance of Sage sends healing vibrations into "the seat of language." The refreshing fragrance of Eucalyptus oil clears and widens the Fifth Chakra.

Yoga: Mantra Yoga -- Mantras are meditative incantations that reflect certain aspects of the Divine. They can be silently recited, audibly sung, or chanted. Transcendental Meditation enables you to experience the mantra on increasingly fine and subtle levels of consciousness.

(1) Sit in the usual erect position as described in the previous chakra exercises.

(2) Focus your attention on your thyroid gland.

Visualize it surrounded by a bright ORANGE light and intone the following mantram in full voice:

THO-THO-RAMA-THO

Intone "THO" on F-sharp above middle C
Intone "RAMA" on A natural above middle C
This interesting short chant should be repeated 5 times

Practice this exercise 1X per day, beginning about 2 weeks AFTER you start the exercises to stimulate your pineal gland. From that point on, perform them together, one after the other. The sequence is not important but the amount of thought and focused attention you put into these simple techniques is very important. Your progress will depend upon it.

You are now working toward a higher psychic development. Gradually at first, and then more rapidly, you will begin to change! You may become aware of the thoughts of others. At first you will probably regard them as your own and not realize that you are picking up the signal from without. But as the experience is repeated, you will be able to distinguish which thoughts originated with you and which did not.

Now you need to attune the Heart, Head, and Throat Centers.
