SYSTEMS OF THE HUMAN BODY

• The mechanism of the human body is composed of
  six systems nervous system, respiratory
  system, circulatory system, digestive system,
  excretory system and endocrine system. The
  most important and complicated is the central
  nervous system with its stem and innumerable
  branches spread out in all directions. This gives
  it an appearance of the tree. The flowers that
  blossom on this Tree of Life are the chakras
  and plexuses. The fruits at various places are
  the ductless glands. The fruit and flower are not
  visible to the physical eye, only the bare tree
  with its branches and branchlets is to be seen.
  The fragrance of the flower and the sweetness of
  the fruit can be enjoyed through Yoga.
• The endocrine system consists of many glands
  situated at various places in the body. The
  Pituitary and the Pineal are in the head, the
  thyroid and parathyroid are in the neck, thymus
  in the thoracic cavity, the adrenals and gonads
  are in the abdominal cavity. They are called
  ductless glands because the hormones produced in
  them are thrown directly in the blood stream.
• The human brain has a fundamental resemblance to
  the human embryo. It represents the component
  parts of a bodily form, with the repetition of
  the endocrine glandular pattern which is
  hermaphrodite. The Pineal and Pituitary represent
  the male and female elements. The Pineal gland is
  connected with the posterior portion of the
  Pituitary. The Pineal gland is the negative pole
  being a counterpart of and complementary to the
  Pituitary body which is the positive pole.
• The function of the Pituitary is to control the
  development of the body to suit the development
  of the consciousness. It exercises this function
  through the other ductless glands. The chief
  change which it brings into organism is the
  awakening of the genetic functions by stimulating
  the sexual glands. But the Pineal gland is there
  to prevent the Pituitary from awakening the
  sexual functions too soon and acts as a check on
  anterior lobe of the Pituitary. This is why the
  Pineal is associated with the spiritual nature of
  man.

THE NADIS

• Na?is (meridians) are the channels through
  which the Prana energies of the subtle body flow.
  Nadi comes from the root nad meaning channel,
  stream, or flow. Nadis connect at special points
  of intensity called chakras. According to the
  Tantras, there are 72,000 or more such channels
  or networks through which the stimuli flow like
  an electric current from one point to another.
  All nadis originate from Kanda, located in the
  space between origin of the reproductory organ
  and the anus.
• Of these, the chief ones are 10 Ida, Pingala,
  Sushumna, Gandhari, Hastijihva, Pusha,
  Yashasvini, Alambusha, Kuhuh and Shankhini. Of
  these, 3 nadis are main and have Moon, Sun and
  Agni as their Devatas Ida, Pingala
  and Sushumna. Ida lies to the left of the spine,
  whereas Pingala is to the right side of the
  spine, mirroring the Ida. Sushumna runs along the
  spinal cord in the center, through the 7 chakras.
  Kundalini lies coiled in 3.1/2 coils in a dormant
  or sleeping state at the base of Sushumna.
• 12 pairs of cranial nerves proceed from both
  hemispheres through the openings at the base of
  the skull to different parts of the body
  Olfactory Optic Motor Oculi Pathetic
  Trifacial Abducens Facial Auditory
  Glossopharyngeal Pneumogastric, Spinal
  accessory and Hypoglossal. These nerves are
  connected with the eye, ear, tongue, nose,
  pharynx, thorax, etc. Nadis carry a life force
  energy, Prana (or Qi). In particular, Prana (activ
  e) circulates inside Pingala, while Apana (passive
  ) circulates inside Ida. Inside Sushumna, it
  circulates kundalini when awakened. 
• Chakras affect nadis which affect the health and
  functioning of the body. The two nadis are
  stimulated through different Pranayama practices,
  including Nadi Shodhana, which involves
  alternate breathing through left and right
  nostrils, which alternately stimulates
  respectively the left and right sides of the
  brain. By Pranayama practice, the purification of
  the nadis, the brightening of the gastric fire,
  hearing distinctly of spiritual sounds and good
  health result. The breathing techniques purify
  and develop the energetic currents and lead to
  special breathing exercises whose goal is to
  awake kundalini among the 7 nadi chakras in the
  body.

THE PRINCIPAL NADIS

• Sushumna na?i This is the spine of the
  energy-body. It is a hollow tube running from
  Muladhara to Sahasrara chakra. Inside the
  physical spinal cord, a hollow canal runs all
  along the length called canalis centralis.
  Sushumna nadi is situated inside this hollow
  canal. It originates at muladhara and moves
  inside the spinal cord through the canalis
  centralis pierces the Talu (upper palate) and
  divides itself into two branches- anterior and
  posterior. The anterior branch goes to the Ajna
  chakra and from there to Brahma-randhra. The
  posterior branch passes from behind the head and
  joins the Brahma-randhra.
• The Sushumna nadi encloses within itself another
  nadi called Vajra nadi. Within this is Chitra
  nadi. Within Chitra nadi is the subtlest of all
  nadis the Brahma nadi, made of Consciousness or
  thought vibrations in the form of ideas. This
  nadi has 7 chakras of consciousness, located
  within this Brahma nadi.
• The lower opening of the Sushumna nadi is called
  Brahma-dwara' or the door to Brahman. The
  kundalini energy has to pass through this opening
  in its ascent upward. The kundalini resides just
  below this opening and blocking this opening.  
• Brahma-randhra The cave of Brahman, Bhramara
  Gufa' (cave of bumble bee) or Andha Koopa' (the
  blind well or the 10th gate) refers to the hollow
  space between the two hemispheres of the brain
  and is situated at the top of the brain, or
  anterior fontanel. Externally, this is the soft
  spot' that is open when the child is born. In a
  new born pulsation can be felt at this spot in
  the first few weeks, after 6 months it hardens.
  Thereafter, it is opened only through the
  practices of Yoga. At the time of death, if the
  soul leaves the body from this point, then it is
  liberated and does not come back for a rebirth.
• Ida Pingala nadis These are two major nadis
  located on the left and the right side of the
  Sushumna. Pingala is the extroverted
  (active), solar nadi, while Ida is the
  introverted, lunar nadi and correspond to right
  left hemispheres of the brain. They correspond to
  the Parasympathetic and Sympathetic nervous
  system of the physical body. In the physical
  body, Parasympathetic system retards or inhibits
  all autonomic functions and Sympathetic system
  stimulates or accelerates. The Ida group of
  nerves has an inhibiting or cooling effect and
  Pingala group of nerves has a stimulating or
  heating effect.

THE CHAKRAS

• The concept of chakra features in tantric
  and yogic traditions of Hinduism and Buddhism.
  The chakras are described in the tantric texts
  the Sat-Chakra-Nirupana, and the
  Padaka-Panchaka. The word chakra in Sanskrit
  means wheel, whirlpool or vortex as
  circle it symbolizes endless dynamism of
  Shakti. It is believed to be a center of activity
  that receives, assimilates and expresses life
  force energy, biophysical energy or Prana.
• Chakras are energy centers along the spine
  located at major branchings of the human nervous
  system, beginning at the base of the spinal
  column and moving upward to the top of the skull,
  through which pass 3 major energy channels,
  Sushumna, Ida and Pingala, which cross one
  another several times at the chakras. They refer
  to spinning spheres of bioenergetic activity
  emanating from the major nerve ganglia branching
  forward from the spinal column.
• There are usually considered to be 7 primary
  chakras, aligned along the central nervous system
  from the tip of the spine to above the top of the
  head. They are a part of our non-physical
  anatomy. They are described as metaphysical
  counterparts to the endocrine glands. The lower
  six chakras are linked to specific nerve plexuses
  along the spinal cord as well as glands. They
  exist in and through the supra-physical body.
  They appear to be transformers transforming
  subtle non-physical energies into energies that
  can be utilized by the body.
• The following features are common in all chakra
  systems They form part of a subtle energy
  body, along with the energy channels, or nadis,
  and the subtle winds, or pranas They are
  located along a central nadi, Sushumna, which
  runs inside the spine Two other nadis, Ida and
  Pingala, also run through the chakras, and
  alongside Sushumna. They cross Sushumna at the
  location of the chakras They possess a number
  of 'petals' or 'spokes They are generally
  associated with a mantra seed-syllable, and with
  a variety of colours and deities (an incarnation
  of goddess Para-shakti).

THE CHAKRAS

• The chakras may be metaphorically described as
  buds of flowers, each with a certain number of
  petals in relation to the 50 or 52 Devanagari
  characters that are assigned to chakras and
  petals. The number of petals corresponds to the
  number of nadis or subtle energy connections
  coming and going from each chakra, related to and
  depending on a series of physical internal
  components within the human body such as its
  skeletal and peripheral nervous system  parts, as
  well as some specific physical structures within
  the brain. They also pertain to the number of
  phases of the moon (out of a total of 16), the
  inner Lalana (or Talu/Talumula) chakra, between
  2 petal Ajna and 16 petal Kantha, pertaining
  to Amavasya (dark moon), i.e. 0 petals.
• Shakti, the primordial female divine energy, is
  said to lie sleeping in the root chakra like a
  coiled serpent. Through both the buffeting of
  physical plane experiences and later through the
  conscious application of spiritual practices,
  this sleeping kundalini energy arises through
  the chakras, awakening them one by one from
  bottom to top.
• How does the awakening of the chakras take place
  in Yoga? One concentrates directly upon the
  location of the chakra. Visual meditation symbols
  (Yantras) are looked upon and then visualized to
  assist this process. Particular words (Mantras)
  whose sound vibration is said to correspond to
  the chakra are chanted aloud and then "listened
  to" internally. Breathing exercises such as
  Pranayama and the breath of fire are
  practiced to fire up the process.
• One needs to withdraw from worldly endeavors,
  eat a vegetarian diet, avoid emotional stimuli,
  practice celibacy, and have an advanced teacher
  (Guru) who can see the chakras and can advise you
  as to which practices to perform. The Guru will
  see the movement of subtle energy within your
  subtle bodies and change your daily practices
  accordingly. Otherwise, great imbalances can
  occur that can lead to mental/emotional imbalance
  and even insanity.

THE PRIMARY CHAKRAS

• 1st chakra (Guda or Mooladhara) This excretory
  chakra has its physical location at the base of
  the spine, in the perineum, the beginning point
  of the central meridian. The basic issues of the
  first chakra are survival, security, being
  grounded, feeling safe. On this level, one seeks
  pleasure and avoids pain.
• 2nd chakra (Indri or Swadhishthana) This is
  located about two inches below the navel at the
  root of the genitals. Its main function is
  urinary. Strong emotions are its expression.
• 3rd chakra (Nabhi or Manipura) This is located
  in the solar plexus area. The main issues of this
  chakra are personal accomplishments and
  dominance. It is characterized by a kind of
  bodily knowing. The issues of the first three
  chakras are those we, as humans, share with the
  animals.
• 4th chakra (Heart or Anahata) This is in the
  middle between the three lower and the three
  higher chakras. When this chakra begins to become
  active, our concern shifts from "whats in it for
  me?" to that which is for the good of the other.
• 5th chakra (Kantha or Vishuddha) This has its
  location in the area of the throat. The basic
  physical function of this chakra is in verbal
  communication. The higher function has to do with
  the mystery of sound in the act of creation.
• 6th chakra (3rd Eye or Ajna) This has its
  physical location between and behind the eyebrows
  (Bhru-madhya).
• 7th chakra (false Astral Eye or Sahasrara or
  1000-petalled) Its physical correspondence is
  with the Thalamus, located between the four lobes
  of the brain, marked at the middle of the
  forehead. The chakra itself is said to be located
  well above the head. When the highest chakra is
  awake and functioning, time and space dissolve
  into oneness. This is described as cosmic
  consciousness.

PRACTICES FOR AWAKENING 3RD EYE

• Anuloma Viloma Pranayama It is also called the
  Alternate Nostril Breathing Technique. In this
  breathing technique or pranayama, you inhale
  through one nostril, retain the breath, and
  exhale through the other nostril.
• Trataka It is an external concentration or
  visualization practice in which one gazes
  steadily at some small object or an image,
  without blinking, while your eyelids are held
  slightly more open than usual. The practice is
  continued until your eyes strain and water.
• Shambhavi Mudra with Om Mantra It is an
  open-eye meditation technique used to perceive
  the divine light. During Shambhavi Mudra, the
  eyes are not kept in the normal position, but are
  moved to a fixed gaze at the eyebrow centre and
  this implies a peculiar coordination of the
  eyeball muscles. Once one is comfortable with the
  position of the eyes, then one chants the Om
  mantra.
• Samyama Meditation It is a combined
  simultaneous practice of Dhara?a, Dhyana, and
  Samadhi which belongs to the yoga primarily
  concerned with the mind called Raja Yoga or
  royal union.
• Factors that augment the likelihood that the
  kundalini will become concentrated to the point
  where it will powerfully rise upwards as current
  of light and fire include Observance of
  celibacy Body purification, fasting, cleansing
  the body through Hatha yogic kriyas Breathing
  exercises (Pranayama) that do not directly
  stimulate the kundalini, but that clear the
  etheric meridians and nadis Concentration of
  attention on chakras of inner vehicles Careful
  control of diet, eating only pure sattvic foods
  Practice of sustained, non-moving coitus
  (maithuna) by those who do not observe celibacy
  Performing selfless service for a kundalini
  master, who grants Shaktipat or hearing the
  discourses and sitting in the presence of a
  kundalini master Powerful longing to achieve
  God Realization and love for the master (Bhakti).

MINOR CHAKRAS ABOVE AJNA

• There are several minor chakras that are all
  closely related at the top of the head. Rising
  from Ajna, we have the Manas chakra on the
  forehead. Above Manas there are Bindu Visarga at
  the back of the head, Mahanada, Nirvana, which is
  located on the crown, Guru, and then Sahasrara
  proper, located above the crown
• Manas (mind) It is located either between the
  navel and the heart, close to Surya, or is
  located above Ajna on the forehead. The version
  on the forehead has 6 petals, connected to the 5
  sense objects plus the mind.
• Bindu Visarga (Indu, Chandra or Soma chakra) 16
  petalled Bindu Visarga is located at the back of
  the head, in a place where many Brahmins keep a
  tuft of hair. It is symbolised by a crescent moon
  on a moonlit night, with a point or Bindu above
  it. This is the white Bindu, with which yogis try
  to unite the red Bindu below, and it is the
  source of the divine nectar or Amrita which falls
  down to Vishuddhi for distribution throughout the
  entire bodily system. This white drop is
  considered the essence of sperm, while the red
  Bindu is considered the essence of the menstrual
  fluid.
• Mahanada It is in the shape of a plough. It
  represents the primal sound from which emanates
  all of creation.
• Nirvana/Brahmarandhra This is located on the
  crown of the head. It is white in colour and
  possesses 100 white petals. It marks the end of
  the Sushumna central channel. It is responsible
  for Savikalpa Samadhi.
• Guru (Shri) This is located above the head,
  just below Sahasrara proper. It is white, with 12
  white petals. It contains a circular moon region,
  within which is a downward pointing triangle
  containing a jewelled altar with the crescent
  moon below and circular Bindu above. Inside the
  Bindu is the seat, upon which are the gurus
  footstools, upon which are the Gurus feet.

28
CHAKRAS ABOVE ANJA
29
THE MINOR CHAKRAS

• Within the Sahasrara triangle are a series of
  ever higher levels of consciousness chakras
  Ama-kala, the first ring of Visarga is the
  experience of Savikalpa samadhi. Nirvana-kala,
  where kundalini absorbs even the experience of
  samadhi, through the power of supreme control
  (Nirodhika fire), and Nirvana shakti, which
  contains the second ring of Visarga, where
  kundalini passes into the supreme void, the
  experience of Nirvikalpa samadhi, and becomes
  Shankhini. Kundalini then wraps around and
  absorbs the supreme Bindu, which is the Void, the
  supreme Nada, and Shakti, and then unites with
  and absorbs Sakala Shiva, before finally being
  absorbed into Param Shiva, which is the final
  stage of Nirvikalpa samadhi. Here, kundalini
  becomes Shankhini with 3.1/2 coils The 1st coil
  of Shankhini wraps around supreme Bindu, the 2nd
  coil of Shankhini wraps around the supreme Nada,
  the 3rd coil of Shankhini wraps around Shakti,
  and the 1/2-coil of Shankhini enters into Shiva.
• There are other minor chakras
• Lalana/Talu/Talana/Talumula It is situated in
  the roof of the mouth, between Vishuddhi and
  Ajna. 12 Yoga Nadis emanate from this centre. The
  Lalana chakra on the roof of the mouth is related
  to Bindu and Vishuddhi. When the nectar, Amrit
  trickles down from Bindu, it is stored in Lalana.
  This nectar can fall down to Manipura and be
  burned up, causing gradual degeneration, or
  through certain practices it can be passed to
  Vishuddhi and purified, becoming a nectar of
  immortality.
• Hrit or Surya chakra This is located just below
  the heart at the solar plexus, and is known as
  the wish-fulfilling tree. It supports the actions
  of Manipura chakra by providing it with the
  element of heat, and is responsible for absorbing
  energy from the sun.
• Some models also have a series of 7 lower
  chakras of Patalas below Muladhara that go down
  the legs, but they do not appear to be correct.

GRANTHIS JADA SAMADHI

• Along the Sushumna channel there are three
  knots (Granthis) of energy that will be broken or
  untied along the upward journey of rising
  kundalini, allowing the flow to go into and
  through the various chakras above that
  point Brahma granthi Blocking the flow from the
  1st chakra upward to the others related to
  bondage to desires. Vishnu granthi Blocking the
  flow from the 3rd chakra upward to the 4th
  chakra, Anahata, the heart related to bondage of
  actions. Rudra granthi Blocking the flow beyond
  the 6th chakra upwards towards Sahasrara related
  to bondage of thoughts (compared to pure
  knowing). All the three gods take the test of the
  sadhaka before they give the way forward.
• The area of the tuft on the head corresponds to
  Bindu center inside the head. Inside Bindu, Moon
  secretes Amrita or nectar and poison. This comes
  down from Bindu Visarga and has its origin in
  abode of Cosmic Consciousness, Sahasrara chakra
  (Maha-Bindu). The Universal Pure Consciousness
  becomes dilute as it comes down and individual
  consciousness takes shape in Bindu Visarga.
• Between Bindu and Vishuddha chakra, there is a
  repository for the nectar in the vicinity of
  nasopharynx. This reservoir, Lalana chakra or
  Talumula is stimulated by the long tongue that
  folds back into the nasopharnx and can occlude
  the Ida and Pingala nadis.
• The stimulation helps the Lalana chakra empty
  the nectar into the Vishuddha chakra, which
  processes the nectar and separates the pure form
  from the poison. The pure form promotes health,
  longevity, and regeneration of the body.
  Vishuddha chakra neutralizes the poison.
• Khechari Mudra involves folding back of the
  tongue released from its anterior anchor by
  cutting the frenulum at the bottom of the tongue
  and pulling the tongue over many months to
  elongate it so that it can fold back and reach
  the openings at the back of the nose. This mudra
  helps the tongue taste the nectar from Bindu to
  Bindu Visarga and Lalana reservoir. Yogis can
  live on air and nectar.
