Simplified Kundalini Yoga (SKY) Meditation Practice
“Meditation is a practice to commune the consciousness with the vast universe.”
– Shri Vethathiri Maharishi
In SKY practice various stages of meditation are given to an individual
∙ A trained master initiates the student into meditation practice, intensifying the working center of his life-force at Agna Chakra (between the eyebrows) so as to focus there and meditate.
∙ After a few days of the initial practice, energy increase in the upper centers may be felt excessively. At this point the student is taught Shanti Yoga. ∙ The next stage of practice is Thuriya Yoga, which is meditation at the crown chakra, i.e. Sahasradara or Brahmarandra.
∙ Higher level techniques of meditation include Thuriateeth Yoga, Panchentria Meditation [Meditation on the five senses of Human body], Pancha Bootha Navagraha Meditation [Meditation on the Five Elements, Nine Planets, Manonmani, Nithyanandam, Nine Point Meditation (Onbothu Maiyam) where the fractional state of consciousness unites with the infinite state of consciousness. By sincere practice the student can advance from the limited body consciousness to soul consciousness and ultimately to God consciousness.
∙ A separate technique of meditation is also taught to strengthen the mind and body in resistance to the adverse effects of planetary transits. ∙ Practices are also given to understand and increase one’s personal biomagnetism for physical and mental optimum strength. One is also taught to use biomagnetism for helping others by passing energy in certain cases.
