If other dimensions have to become a living reality, the rest of the chakras have to be activated. Intelligence has to be empowered by energy. Otherwise, a sleeping intelligence is as good as being non-existent.
A computer which cannot be turned on is as good as a slab of stone. It is the same with the human system, too. This is a super computer, but most people are keeping it functioning only on the level of survival. If something more of what the human system is capable of needs to happen, it needs an activation.
Hatha Yoga is that discipline which activates the whole system. Unfortunately, people think Hatha Yoga is an exercise or some kind of health regimen. Yoga never focuses on curing something. We only look at how this physical system can be made full-fledged. If it is full-fledged, everything will be fine. It will activate something that will lead to a curative process by itself anyway.
The seven fundamental chakras are known as muladhara , which is located at the perineum, the space between the anal outlet and the genital organ; swadhisthana , which is just above the genital organ; manipuraka , which is just below the navel; anahata , which is just beneath where the rib cage meets; vishuddhi , which is at the pit of the throat; ajna , which is between the eyebrows; and sahasrara , also known as brahmarandra , which is at the top of the head, where when a child is born, there is a soft spot.
We can speak in terms of lower and higher energy centers, but such language is often and too easily misunderstood. It is like comparing the foundation of a building to the roof. The roof is not superior to the foundation. The foundation of the building is more basic to the building than the roof. The quality, life span, stability and security of the building depends to a large extent on the foundation rather than the roof.
But in terms of language, the roof is higher, and the foundation is lower. If your energies are dominant in muladhara, then food and sleep will be the most dominant factors in your life. Chakras have more than one dimension to them. One dimension is their physical existence, but they also have a spiritual dimension. This means that they can be completely transformed. For example, if you bring the right kind of awareness, the same muladhara that craves food and sleep, can become absolutely free from the process of food and sleep.
These chakras have a manifestation in the body. And they also have a subtler manifestation. These manifestations are called kshetras. Kshetra means a place where someone resides. You may be in your office, but your residence is somewhere else.
Just like that, there are kshetras that are external ones, called bahya kshetras , and there are internal ones called antar kshetras. There is a home and a holiday home! When you are at home, you will be one way. Generally, the mundane occupies your time and life. Most of your time goes in cooking, cleaning, maintenance and fixing up things. When you go to your holiday home, even though there is cooking, cleaning and all the other stuff, the mundane does not occupy the whole of you.
It is a more exuberant existence. A holiday home in the mountain is a more exuberant existence, though it may be physically more taxing than being at home. Being at home is easier. Many people have given up and just stay at home because it is easier. But the reason why you went to another home away from home is you still want to know the coziness of a home, you do not want to stay in a hotel, but you want a more exuberant existence.
The Creator provided for all that. You can be in the antar kshetra, not so vibrant and just sleeping, or you can be in the bahya kshetra. Any time you want to go back home, it is not a problem, you can always step back.
For example, if your energies are dominant in muladhara, then food and sleep will be the most dominant factors in your life. But if you bring the right kind of awareness, the same muladhara that craves food and sleep, can become absolutely free from the process of food and sleep.
The second chakra is swadhisthana. If your energies are dominant in swadhisthana, pleasures will be most dominant in your life — you seek pleasures, you enjoy the physical reality in so many ways. If your energies are dominant in manipuraka, you are a doer; you can do many things in the world. If your energies are dominant in anahata, you are a very creative person. If your energies are dominant in vishuddhi, you become very powerful.
If your energies are dominant in ajna or if you attain to ajna, then intellectually, you are realized. Intellectual realization gives you peace. Experientially it has not happened yet but intellectual realization has come to you, which brings you to a certain state of peace and stability within yourself irrespective of what is happening outside of you. And once your energies hit sahasrara, you are simply ecstatic like crazy! There is no external stimulant, there is simply no reason, but you are ecstatic simply because energies have touched a certain peak.
Fundamentally, any spiritual path can be described as a journey from the muladhara to the sahasrara. This journey is an evolution from one dimension to another; these are just seven different levels of intensity.
To move your energies from muladhara to ajna, there are many spiritual processes and several ways, but to move from ajna to sahasrara, there is no path. There is no particular way. One has to either jump or fall into a bottomless pit. In Yoga, they say unless you are willing to fall upward, you will not get there. This is why so many so-called spiritual people have come to the conclusion that peace is the highest possibility — because they got stuck in ajna.
Peace is not the highest possibility. You can become ecstatic, so ecstatic that the whole world becomes a big joke in your understanding and experience. Everything that is dead serious for everyone is just a joke for you. But people come and stop at the ajna for a long time, just to make up their mind to jump. The next chakra is the "Vishuddhi," which literally means "filter. If your energies move into Vishuddhi, you become a very powerful human being, but this power is not just political or administrative.
A person can be powerful in many ways. A person can become so powerful that if he just sits in one place, things will happen for him. He can manifest life beyond the limitations of time and space. If your energies move into the "Agna" chakra, located between your eyebrows, you are intellectually enlightened. You have attained to a new balance and peace within you. The outside no longer disturbs you, but you are still experientially not liberated.
If your energies move into "Sahasrar," at the crown of your head, you become ecstatic beyond all reason. You will simply burst with ecstasy for no reason whatsoever. Chakras have more than one dimension to them. One dimension is their physical existence, but they also have a spiritual dimension. This means that they can be completely transformed into a new dimension. If you bring the right kind of awareness, the same Mooladhara that craves food and sleep can become absolutely free from the process of food and sleep.
If one wants to go beyond food and sleep, one needs to transform the Mooladhara to an evolved state. To move from Mooladhara to Agna, from the lowest of these seven chakras to the second highest, there are many procedures, methods and processes through which one can raise his energies. But from Agna to Sahasrar, the sixth chakra to the highest chakra, there is no path. You can only jump there.
In a way, you have to fall upward. Does it really work? Tossing and turning in bed whole night? Try acupuncture for sleep. Select a City Close. Your current city: Mumbai Mumbai search close.
