Kundalini Yoga* The
Yoga of Awareness ROOT
LOCK
Mul Bandh, the Root Lock, is a powerful contraction of muscles and
stimulation of energies that helps to redirect sexual energy into
creativity and healing energy. The Root Lock is often applied at
the end of exercises and meditations, and helps to seal the healing
and uplifting effects and stabilize your senses. Root Lock is a
smooth motion that consists of three parts. The root lock blends the energies of Prana and Apana, the energies that generate and eliminate, respectively. By mixing these energies, a pressure is created that helps direct your energy upward and through your physical body and your chakras in a moderate, stable and balanced way. The Knot of Brahma - When you apply the Mul Bandh consciously and correctly, it is said to "untie the knot of Brahma". The Knot of Brahma is located at the first chakra, at the base of your spine. When the knot is untied and the energy is flowing smoothly, you feel balanced and free from your attachments to form and the senses. The Great Lock - Maha Bandh - is the application of all three locks at the same time, with your breath held out. Maha Bandh is practiced after many meditations, exercises and pranayam exercises, in various postures, and with different mudras (yogic hand positions) and mantras. When the great lock is applied consciously and correctly, the body is said to enter into a healing state of balance. Yogic tradition tells us that the healing effects of this lock may help with menstrual cramps, poor circulation and preoccupation with mental fantasies. We must apply discipline to work through the blocks that keep us from moving towards consciousness and kindness. The practice of these locks can help. Apply them consciously, whenever indicated, and feel the effects. Find Yoga Classes In Your Area. 3HO

Tratakam Meditation Tratakam is the meditative technique of gazing. Gazing with the eyes is recognized as a powerful method for focusing life force energy. In the yogic Scripture it says, "even a glance from the eyes of a holy man can cure mental and physical imbalances." Gazing with the eyes is recognized as a powerful technique for focusing pranic energy. The pranic energy gives life to the atom, all material, and the mind.
The laws of regulation and interaction of pranic energy form the basis of most occult sciences, and explain many obscure passages in the scriptures. The general technique of gazing is called Tratakam (Trataka, Tratakum). Applying Tratakam to a particular image of a teacher is Guru Yoga. The stories surrounding the practice of gazing are so many, the simple truths have become obscured. If one reads the old literature of yogic and mystic lore that was published around the turn of the century, there are descriptions of yogis gazing at the sun all day. This
ancient literature describes a glance that hypnotizes, removing
one's will, and eyes that shine beams of light for miles. In many
modern movies, the power of eye communication is used as main technique
to represent emotional states. At the base of all this, there is
an exciting and different understanding of man, energy, and the
nature and function of vision. Memories, Moments, and Missives See more at 3HOLegacyLinks.com. Memories to share? Register here. Pages and Point to Ponder
