TOTAL 45
Once you are done with the preliminary steps, devote anywhere between 15 – 45 minutes to perform
the main step. And the main step could be meditating on just one chakra, on the three knots or on all
the chakras. Such meditation could be done either by chanting the kundalini mahamantra on the
knots, or just one one chakra. If you feel better by meditating on each chakra with its seed syllable or
color, that’s equally powerful. If you are aiming for an intense practice involving more than 45
minutes of meditation, you could then alternate between maha-mantra and chakra syllables and
colors to maintain the freshness of your mind.
SOME THINGS TO REMEMBER
1 If you are pressed for time, adjust the minutes accordingly. For example, rather than five
minutes on each step, you could devote only two minutes. And, cover your eyes for only
thirty seconds rather than a whole minute.
2 In any case, however, it is recommended that you do step 3 (mulotejana kriya) and 4
(kapala-bhati) for five minutes each.
3 For the briefest method, just chant the kundalini mahamantra for fifteen minutes on the
three knots. Or, even feel free to do any particular kriya that sits well with you and gives you
joy and peace.
4 If you only had time for just one chakra (and not even the preliminary steps or the knots), let
that be the Manipur (navel) chakra.
5 Step 4 (kapala-bhati) is not recommended for pregnant women. It’s said commonly that
people with hypertension shouldn’t do this step either but I haven’t seen any medical or
scientific evidence validating it. So, please see how you feel. If your blood pressure rises or
you feel dizzy or discomfort, stop at once.
6 Remember to enjoy the process of kundalini awakening.
7 Don’t give in to hearsays, myths and misconceptions by listening to people who have never
put in the time to master kundalini. Instead, listen to your inner voice.
8 Breathe. Smile. Meditate. Let go. Oh, and be kind.
