Welcome to your chakra kundalini pranayama practice that cleanses and charges your seven energetic centers that lie within.
Let me forewarn, you’re in for a weird one today.
I learned this chakra pranayama (breathing practice) from a chakra workshop I attended with Anodea Judith, and instantly knew I needed to know more about it. My curiosity led me to buying another book, crazy I know, and learning the intricacies of this energizing, clearing, and quite euphoric experience.
And what I mean by euphoric is…. as you breathe and cleanse your chakras, you’ll be directing your breath in and out of the body, at an increased rate, which leaves you in a high, trance like state.
Personally, this high feeling helps me tune into subtle sensations, thoughts, and feelings that might otherwise have gone unnoticed, and it helps further pinpoint where stuck energy lives.
As someone whose studied the chakras for a few years now, I admit, they can be confusing and overwhelming. The idea with your chakra system is to bring your inner portals of energy that run along your spinal column into equilibrium, and have the awareness to know which ones need to be fine tuned. Once you fine tune yourself, your energy can travel up and down the core of who you are (your spinal column) without hitting blockages.
Essentially, you can then experience kundalini rising.
Kundalini rising is a wholeeeee other topic, one that I’m not confident to speak on, but it is part of the chakra experience as well as an entirely different style of yoga practice and lineage.
Now here’s the crux, kundalini rising is both challenging to reach and should be guided by a qualified teachers. It requires dedication, awareness, focused intention, and the willingness to work through some super tough shit. Shit like past pain, trauma of any kind, limiting and false beliefs, and anything that feels like tension.
If you’re still confused, I would liken kundalini rising to reaching your seventh chakra, because you’ve cleared and charge all of the preceding energetic centers, or if you follow and practice the eight limbs of yoga, it’s akin to reaching samadhi (enlightenment).
So, with this information planted, let’s now dive into the chakra pranayama practice and how to harness it as a powerful tool in the comfort of your home.
This breathing practice was created by Anodea Judith, the chakra guru, and it’s intention is to invite energy up through your chakra system, aka your liberation current. It can be used as a quick-me-up or before you begin a yoga or meditation practice.
It can also be deconstructed and used for each individual chakra. For example, if you’re aware that tuning into sensations, emotions, and feelings is a challenge for you, try doing the 2nd and 4th breathing techniques. And the same goes for any chakra you’re working on.
Important note: Each breathing patterns begin in a cross-legged position with an erect spine. Each inhalation is directed through your nose, and each exhalation out your mouth (audibly with a sound, if you can). Keep your eyes open throughout the exercise, unless otherwise cued.
If sitting in an erect position for a lengthened time is uncomfortable, please prop yourself up using a blanket, block, or bolster.
Now let’s begin cleansing and charging our chakras!
