DESCRIPTION

‘THE DESIRES OF THE CHAKRAS’ is a handmade extract from the Samadhi handbook on the subject of our dear desires. Their fulfilment serves our most principal desire to be happy. We can truly learn to avoid creating unhappiness in the pursuit of happiness. Our life force or Prana continuously interacts with the five elements of the body in the energy centers called Chakras. This produces a variety of desires in the bodymind, which we can pursue or not. Our experiences lead to a natural maturing of our desires, pushing the energy upwards to the higher centers. It culminates in the rising of our Kundalini energy above the desires of the elements. For each principal desire riddle of security, enjoyment, status, love, understanding and enlightenment, a yogic solution is applied. Developing restraint, dispassion and tolerance, even the householder yogi avoids wasting energy in the process of connecting to our ultimate source of inner happiness in the Self. This is supported by Pranic visualization of a variety of energy centers, unblocking our natural flow. Ancient seed sounds and visuals used in meditation practices provide the power to fulfill our desires in detached attachment. Thus the Tantric understanding on the desires of our Chakras becomes a means of deep transformation and joyful liberation.

This booklet is part of a series of small books extracted from “Samadhi – The Deep Meditation Handbook”, a two-volume work with over 600 pages on reaching the deepest states of meditation. Samadhi is the highest of yogic practices, a trance state where body consciousness is entirely lost and a gradual full merging with the Self is gained. It requires daily sustained meditation practice, supported by some major changes to our lifestyle, attitudes and desires. It is nevertheless everyone’s birthright, even when living as a householder yogi.

Quotes


The entirety of the yogic tradition is revealed as originating from the Self, bridging the illusion of a gap between nonduality and other practices.

The practitioners of yoga postures, breath, mantra, or meditation should not be confused about whether all of that is helpful on the spiritual path, or just some distraction produced by the ego.
