Men of great knowledge actually found out about the chakras their workings, their petals, theirsounds, their infinity, their co-relationship, their powers. They found that the life of a human is totally

based on these chakras. They developed into a whole science. This total science gave birth to

Kundalini Yoga. That is how Kundalini Yoga was born. Yogi Bhajan

The human body is a complex system encompassing vast energy systems that are not immediatelyperceptible with our limited eyes. The chakras are energy vortices powered byprana,or life force. By

clearing the energy blocks from our chakras, we allow the Kundalini energy to rise up through us,invigorating and uplifting our minds and bodies to new heights.

Asana,or postures, are positions of the body used to activate and direct energy to open both a physicaland an energetic position in the body. When using Kundalini yoga to clear the chakras, asana are

useful to open pranic flow.

1) First Chakra, the Root Chakra (Muladhara): Foundations, fear, survival

Asana: Crow Pose

2) Second Chakra, the Sacral Chakra (Svadisthana): Creation, desire, relationships

Asana: Frog Pose

Keep the heels together and the fingers on the ground. Inhale through the nose as you straighten yourknees; exhale through the nose as you squat down.

3) Third Chakra, the Solar Plexus (Manipura): Will, action

Asana: Stretch Pose

Lift the head and the feet six inches off the ground. Bring the arms up, palms facing. Stare at the toes.

Asana: Camel Pose

If full camel pose is too much of a stretch for you, place your hands in the small of your back for

support and arch backwards with your head.

5) Fifth Chakra, the Throat Chakra (Vishuddha): Communication

Asana: Cobra Pose

Lie on the ground, hands under the shoulders, palms flat on ground. Push up, lifting the heart andletting the head follow, keeping the pelvis on the ground. If this is too much of a stretch, try Sphinx

pose, keeping your elbows on the ground as you arch your head back.

6) Sixth Chakra, the Third Eye (Ajna): Intuition, Wisdom

Asana: Guru Pranam

Sit on the heels. Bring the torso over the thighs and place the forehead on the ground. Extend the

hands in front of you on the ground in prayer.

7) Seventh Chakra, the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara): Transcendence, The Seat of the Soul

Asana: Sat Kriya

Sit on the heels. Stretch the arms over the head with elbows straight, hugging the ears. Interlace all

fingers except the index finger, which you extend. Men cross the right thumb over the left; women

cross the left thumb over the right. Chant Sat nam at a constant rhythm. As you chant Sat pull inthe navel; as you chant nam release the navel. Draw the energy up the spine. Eyes closed. (3-31

minutes)

Sat Kriya is a complete Kundalini yoga workout for all of the chakras. It is an amazing and powerful

practice, complete and entire in one asana and mudra. Doing Sat Kriya everyday for 40 days will havea profound effect on the function of your chakras. It specifically works on waking up the Kundalini

energy and helping it move up your spine through your chakra system.

No chakra stands alone; the chakra system is holistic and interrelated. You cannot work on one chakrawith Kundalini Yoga without addressing the needs of the rest. The Lower Triangle (the first, secondand third chakras) deals with elimination, while the Upper Triangle (fifth, sixth, and seventh chakras)

focuses on accumulation. They meet at the fourth chakra, the heart chakra, an essential point of

balance between these forces.

There is another kriya that uses Sat Kriya to work specifically on each chakra calledSat Kriya for theChakras. This wonderful kriya lets you do variations of Sat Kriya in asanas specifically affecting each

chakra. It helps to clear the body for the rise of Kundalini energy.
