- Kundalini
can be activated through Mantra, through Diksha (or transfer of Divine
energy from Guru to disciple), Kriya Yog, Prannayam, Ras Vigyan (use
of holy and mercury) and even Ayurvedic herbs and potions.
But
the best and the safest way that can be tried by anyone easily is Mantra
Sadhna. When Kundalini is activated there is a tremendous gush of energy
which can cause great harm if not properly channelised through the body.
But the Mantra Sadhana process is a slow and steady method totally free
of such risk. Mantra Sadhna is carried out under the guidance of a Guru
who has full control over the awakening of Kundalini.
Whatever
the mode of activation a Guru is a must for during the process as the
divine powers in the body come to life they attack the Sadhak’s
weaknesses like greed, jealousy, infatuation, anger, false ego and other
negative traits. Sometimes the struggle between these positive (Kundalini)
and negative energies can be so intense that a person may lose balance
of mind or his evil traits may appear so magnified to him that he may
take to wrong ways in life. These are the reasons for which make a Guru
an essential part of Kundalini teachings, who will also suggest Guru
Mantra Sadhana. The power of Guru is so strong that it can annihilate
all evil traits of the Sadhak.
There
are different Mantra’s for the activation of the six Chakras.
One should always remember that it is not a miracle that one is working
on, but is a slow and steady process and sometimes it is only after
some months that, one may suddenly become aware of the awakening of
the concerned Chakra. One should hence continue with Sadhana of other
Chakras even if no immediate results seem forthcoming. Sometimes two
or three Chakras have been seen to be activated all of a sudden at one
go.
The
first step for Kundalini activation is taking Guru Diksha and later
praying to the Guru for Kundalini Jagran Diksha (Diksha for activation
of the Kundalini). After this the Guru suggests certain Mantra Sadhanas
through which the Kundalini can be fully activated.
It
depends on person-to-person how soon Kundalini can be activated. For
some it may take six months to activate and for some it may take even
more. It is not a rule that one can try the Sadhana of the next Chakra
only after the first one has been activated. One can complete the entire
Sadhanas one after the other without waiting for results.
Fundamental
practices for activation of Kundalini shakti :-
-
The aspirant
should purify his or her body with the aid of Neti, Dhyoti and Vasti.
-
After that, the aspirant
should practice eight kinds of Pranayam (Yogic exercises).
-
After that the aspirant
should learn from his Guru the essential mudras such as Mahamudra,
Mahavedha, Mahabandh, Viparitakarani, Taran, Paridhan, Yuktichalan
and Shaktichalani.
-
The aspirant, having
perfected all Yogic exercises should concentrate his psyche on "Chakra"
according to the method of ‘Raja Yoga’.
Some
regular exercises are as follows, which if one does regularly derives
in the early success of activation :
1.
Get up at five in the morning
2. Practice both kinds of Bhrastika Pranayam (fast breathing) five to
twenty five times
3. Practice both kinds of Shaktichalini Mudra five to ten times
4. Practice Taran Mudra with four to hundred & one Pranayam
5. Practice Praridhan Yukti Chalan Mudra
6. At last perform mental exercises of activating ‘Chakra’
In
case one is not able to devote time in the morning, one should do the
following :
1. Mahamudra - Five to twenty five times on each leg
2. Mahabandha - Five to twenty five times on each leg
3. Mahavedh - Both kinds of Mahavedh five to ten times
4. Viparitkarani Mudra - Five to ten times
5. The rest
part of the time should be utilised for practice of activating ‘Chakra’
At the
initial stages an aspirant might experience increased perspiration
from his or her skin but gradually this perspiration will diminish
and there will be a lightening sensation in ones entire body, after
which there is likely to be the movement of ‘Pran Shakti’
(life force) in the manner of crawling of an ant. This will be the
upliftment of Kundalini Shakti and the activation of the Muladhar
Chakra.
