Kundalini Meditation
Event Dates
- April 17 - 19
Kundalini meditation releases blocks, stimulates circulation and balances the glandular system. The result is a reorganization of the emotional energy and feelings that are tied into the body structure magnifying the vital energy in every cell of the body. By strengthening the 72,000 nadis of the body, the body, mind and soul are brought into balance. Nadis are pathways or channels of prana in the system, they do not have physical manifestation.
Inner Awakening is a transformational spiritual energy transfer from an experienced teacher/guru to an initiate to enhance the flow of one’s vital energy. The Inner Awakening process awakens and raises the Kundalini energy within. The process is performed over a 21-day period in three stages. During the Inner Awakening ceremony the initiate’s life force is brought from the base of the spine (Mooladhara) upward through the central canal of the spinal cord (sushumna nadi) to the forehead eye (Ajna) and to the top head eye (Sahasrara ) by the grace of an experienced spiritual instructor. The process marks the 'initiation' or “awakeness” to new perceptions and triggers a desire within oneself to discover new things.
Inner Awakening consists of 3 stages (centers of concentration)
Mooladhara (Root Chakra)
This spot is located at the base of the spinal column i.e., at the perineum the lowest bodily center between the anal outlet and the genital organs. The mooladhara is the seat of kundalini sakthi, or life force which is located at the perineum, between the anal outlet and the genital organs
Ajna Chakra (Third eye)
The third eye is located between the eyebrows, and slightly up.
Sahasra Chakra (Crest eye)
This spot is located at the top of the head just below the skull and is also known as the Top-head Eye. The Kundalini sakthi can be focused at the Crest Eye to bring supreme peace and bliss.
