Kundalini Pranayama is a powerful practice that serves as a magic wand for attaining joy, bliss, and immortality. In this Pranayama, the Bhavana (feeling or visualization) is more important than the ratio between Puraka (inhalation), Kumbhaka (retention), and Rechaka (exhalation).
Steps to Practice Kundalini Pranayama:
- Preparation:
- Sit in Padmasana or Siddhasana: Ensure you are comfortable and facing the East or North.
- Mental Prostration: Begin by mentally prostrating to the lotus feet of your Sat-Guru.
- Recite Stotras: Chant Stotras (hymns) in praise of God and Guru to purify your mind and environment.
- Commencing the Pranayama:
- Inhale Deeply: Inhale deeply without making any sound.
- Visualization: As you inhale, visualize the Kundalini energy lying dormant in the Muladhara Chakra awakening and rising through each Chakra.
- Chakra Progression: At the end of Puraka, visualize the Kundalini reaching the Sahasrara Chakra (crown chakra).
- Inhale Deeply: Inhale deeply without making any sound.
- Retention (Kumbhaka):
- Short Retention: Retain your breath for a short while.
- Repeat Pranava or Ishta Mantra: During retention, mentally repeat the Pranava (Om) or your personal Ishta Mantra.
- Concentration on Sahasrara: Focus on the Sahasrara Chakra and feel that the darkness of ignorance enveloping your soul is being dispelled by the grace of Mother Kundalini.
- Experience Light and Wisdom: Feel your entire being pervaded by light, power, and wisdom.
- Exhalation (Rechaka):
- Slow Exhalation: Exhale slowly.
- Descending Kundalini: As you exhale, visualize the Kundalini Shakti gradually descending from the Sahasrara back to the Muladhara Chakra, passing through each Chakra.
- Slow Exhalation: Exhale slowly.
- Repetition:
- Repeat the Process: Begin the process again, with each cycle deepening your practice and progress.
