With my experience in Sahaja Yoga meditation since I started practicing it from the year 1996, all my so-called dilemmas in life resulting from the oscillations arising in mind have vanished. I must give credit to Sahaja Yoga explained by Her Holiness Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi. In this Yoga one is able to know how to maintain a balance of two channels for actions taken for over use of either the left or the right channel that is physical actions or mental planning for future.
They ruin our peace of mind and fritter away our energy. When the energy is constantly drawn to any one of the channels, and more through a given chakra, we not only suffer from an imbalance in our personality, but also may succumb to various physical ailments. With the Grace of the Universal Mother, the Kundalini is awakened, and is allowed to rise through the central channel. With this, the energy begins to flow through the central channel, opening all the nerve plexuses on the way, and connects itself to the all-pervading divine energy of the Nature through the
Sahastrara, the limbic area. That is our own personal introduction to the Divine, which looks after, and takes care. All the dilemmas vanish, personality-imbalances cease, and a sense of peace unfolds. We become aware of the mystery of life. Our cognition becomes subtle and we are able to discriminate between not just the good and the bad. Then our understanding flows with the divine discretion of param-hamsa-tatwa, and we know the right thing to do. And that is the crux of a fulfilling life.
The Kundalini in each individual is based at the end of the Spinal Cord, and below that is the Mooladhar chakra (Pelvic plexus). The quality of this chakra is that of complete innocence. In this world of competition, we often feel compelled to develop some ‘cunning’, without which we fear, that we would be cheated. The cunning and gullibility are the imbalances of this chakra from the right and the left side respectively. When the power of primordial innocence is awakened within us, it protects us against being cheated, and once we are confident, we don’t need to be cunning any more. This is how the awakening in the central channel corrects our imbalances and obsessions. (to be continued)
