What John Kaldawi think about Ajna Chakra


John Kaldawi learned that Ajna Chakra is situated in the midbrain, behind the eyebrow center, at the top of the spine.  This center is also known by various names such as: the third eye, jnana chakshu, the eye of wisdom, triveni, the confluence of three rivers, guru chakra, and the Eye of Shiva.  The word ajna means "command".  In the deeper states of meditation the disciple receives commands and guidance from the guru, and from the divine or higher self, through this chakra.

Ajna is depicted as a silver lotus with two pedals which represent the sun and the moon or pingala, the positive force, and ida, the negative force.  These two pranic flows which are responsible for the experience of duality, converge at this center with sushumna, the spiritual force.  In the center of the lotus is the sacred beeja mantra OM.  The element of this chakra is manas, mind.  This is the center where wisdom and intuition develop.  When ajna is awakened, the mind becomes steady and strong, and full control over prana is gained.

Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that ajna chakra corresponds to pineal gland which has almost atrophied in the adult human being.  On the psychic plane this point is the bridge between the mental and psychic dimensions.  Therefore, ajna chakra is responsible for supra-mental facilities such as clairvoyance, clairaudience and telepathy.

Thought is also a very subtle form of energy.  When ajna chakra is awakened, it is possible to send and receive thought transmission through this center.  It is like a psychic doorway opening into deeper and higher realm of awareness.  Stimulating ajna chakra develops all the facilities of the mind, such as intelligence, memory and concentration.

John Kaldawi also learned that for concentration on ajna chakra, the point of bhrumadhya at the eyebrow center is used.  Visualize a tiny point of light or an OM symbol at this center and let the thoughts dwell on the inner guru.

John Kaldawi opinions about Compassion

John Kaldawi was inspired by the virtues of Compassion which is the complete flowering of true love in human beings. Love is our intrinsic quality, we are born with it, it is just a matter of being aware of it.   Awareness makes our love stronger and makes it a virtue and brings out the Compassion within us.   Doing more research, John learned that Compassion is the ability to identify and understand the emotional state of another person.   It has the element of reducing the suffering of another associated with the feeling to help.   If someone try to hurt us, instead of having negative feeling towards them, we assume instead that they had a good reason for doing what they did given their particular circumstances. John Kaldawi also learned that Compassion is a process of connecting by identifying and feeling one with another person.   This identification with others through compassion can lead to increased motivation to do something in an effort to...

Pranic currents and the breath

John Kaldawi learned that the pranic currents, ida, pingala and sushumna, operate alternately.  The current that is flowing at any particular time may be gauged by noting the flow of breath in the nostrils.  When the left nostril has a greater flow of air, then ida nadi is predominant.  When the flow is greater in the right nostril, then pingala is predominant.  If the flow is equal in both of the nostrils, then sushumna is predominant. Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that when the right nostril (pingala) flows, there is more vital energy for physical work, digestion of food and so on.  The mind is extroverted and the body generates more heat.  When the left nostril (ida) is flowing, mental energy is dominant.  The mind is introverted and any kind of mental work may be undertaken. During sleep ida nadi flows.  If pingala flows at night, sleep will be restless and disturbed.  Likewise, if ida flows while taking food, the ...

Mooladhara Chakra Mantra

John Kaldawi learned that the Sanskrit word "moola" means "root" or foundation and that is precisely what this chakra is.   Mooladhara is at the root of the chakra system and its influences are at the root of our whole existence.   Mooladhara is the first chakra and is located in the male body slightly inside the perineum, while in the female body it is located on the posterior side of the cervix.   Mooladhara is traditionally represented by a lotus flower with four deep crimson petals.   On each petal is a letter: vam, sham, sham, sam, written in gold. Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that in tantra, mooladhara is the seat of kundalini shakti, the basis from which the possibility of higher realization arises.   This great potential is said to be lying dormant in the form of a coiled serpent.   When aroused, it makes its way upward through sushumna nadi in the spinal cord until it reaches sahasrara where the ultimate experience of enlighte...
