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.

Animal postures, Yogasanas and Prana

John Kaldawi learned that in ancient times and through observation, the rishis understood how animals live in harmony with their environment and with their own bodies.   They understood, through experience, the efforts of a particular posture and how the hormonal secretions could be stimulated and controlled by it.   For example, by stimulating the rabbit or hare in shashankasana they could influence the flow of adrenaline responsible for the 'fight or flight' mechanism.   Through imitating animal postures, the rishis found they could maintain health and meet challenges of nature for themselves. Furthermore, John Kaldawi learned that Prana, vital energy, which corresponds to 'ki' or 'chi' in Chinese medicine, pervades the whole body, following flow patterns, called nadis, which are responsible for maintaining all individual cellular activity.   Stiffness of the body is due to blocked prana and a subsequent accumulation of toxins.   When prana begins to ...

John Kaldawi visited the pyramids of Giza, Egypt.   One of the great seven wonders of the world.   It was constructed as a tomb of the Egyptian dynasty, for the Pharaohs and their families.   It is been said to be about 146 meters in height when it was built.   It was built with high precision construction, and the blocks used are almost perfect in terms of measurements.   The base of the pyramid is perfectly aligned to the north pole with almost no error. Doing more research, John learned that over 130 pyramids were discovered so far in Egypt, the oldest of which was said to have been built 2640 BC.   Nearly all of the pyramids are located west of the Nile river.   The bodies in the tombs were preserved using mummification.   The dead were buried with items that ranged from everyday items to the most expensive jewelry.   Most tombs were robbed except Tutankhamun which was rediscovered in 1922, which was famous for the solid gold mas...
