Chapter 25: A Simple Understanding of How We Create Our Inner World

Modern physics and Vedanta both tell us that the world we experience is not exactly the world that exists outside. Quantum physics says things exist in many possible states until interaction selects one. Vedanta says the universe created by Ishvara is one, but the world each person lives in is different. This difference comes from how our own mind and energy process the same situation.

Every moment, our mind goes through three steps. First, the subconscious picks one emotional possibility out of many. A single scene can hold fear, love, disgust, calmness, or joy. Which one we feel depends on our past experiences, tendencies, guna balance, energy flow, and the dominant chakra. This selection happens instantly and quietly. Next, the mind turns that selected possibility into an actual emotion—fear becomes anxiety, anger becomes heat, love becomes warmth, and peace becomes stillness. Finally, our intellect interprets that emotion and forms meaning, stories, and opinions. This is how our personal world is created.

Chakras play a big role in this process. Lower chakras make us collapse experiences into fear, desire, or anger. Middle chakras make us collapse experiences into love, empathy, and understanding. Higher chakras make the collapse lighter, calmer, and more detached. When the energy reaches Ajna or Sahasrara, emotional reactions become very subtle, and the person begins to witness thoughts and feelings without getting pulled into them.

Kundalini movement changes the collapse even more. When energy is low, the collapse is emotional and reactive. When energy rises to the heart and throat, collapse becomes meaningful and refined. When energy reaches the higher centers, collapse becomes quiet and almost neutral. In deep meditation or samadhi, collapse becomes extremely weak or stops completely. There is no emotional or mental coloring—only pure awareness remains.

Quantum physics supports this kind of idea at a physical level. A particle stays in many possible forms until interaction fixes it. But this does not mean we create the entire universe by observing it. Ishvara creates the physical universe. We only create our personal experience of it. Things happen outside, but our inner world forms through emotional and mental collapse inside us.

As we grow spiritually or through meditation, this collapse becomes less noisy and more peaceful. The mind reacts less. Interpretation becomes minimal. Awareness becomes clearer. In the highest state, there is no collapse at all—no emotion, no story, no reaction—only pure consciousness aware of itself.

In simple words:
We do not create the outer universe, but we continuously create the inner universe we live in.
The more balanced our energy and mind become, the more peaceful and clear this inner universe becomes, until finally it dissolves into pure awareness in samadhi.

How Balanced Chakra Energy Stops Emotional Overreaction and Leads Toward Samadhi

In everyday life, we react emotionally because one part of our inner system becomes stronger than the others. If lower chakras become active, we react with fear, anger, or hurt. If middle chakras dominate, we respond with empathy or emotional softness. If upper chakras dominate, we remain calm, clear, and unaffected. But through practices like chakra meditation, pranayama, and other yogic methods, our energy gradually spreads evenly across all chakras. When this balance happens, something very interesting occurs: no single emotional pattern becomes dominant. All emotional possibilities arise together, and because they appear at the same time, they naturally cancel each other out.

When chakra energy becomes balanced, cancellation does not mean we stop feeling emotions. In fact, we feel all emotional responses more clearly, but none of them overpower us. The emotions rise naturally, but because opposite tendencies appear together, they quickly neutralize each other. This creates a healthy inner balance where we remain aware of every emotion without getting trapped in any one of them. Yoga does not make us dull or detached from life; instead, it expands our capacity to experience. We sense fear, love, anger, compassion, clarity, and calmness all at once, but they do not disturb our inner state. This expanded emotional umbrella allows us to enjoy the world more deeply while staying free from entanglement. In this sense, yoga helps us live fully, feel everything, respond intelligently, and yet remain centered and unaffected. This natural neutrality is what gradually leads toward inner peace and eventually toward samadhi.

This means the mind does not fall into one fixed reaction. It doesn’t collapse into only fear, only anger, only love, or only logic. Instead, all these tendencies stay balanced. This creates an inner state where emotional reactions lose their force, and the mind remains steady and neutral. In this balanced condition, awareness becomes spacious and calm because nothing inside pulls the mind strongly in any direction. This is why the experience begins to feel like samadhi—quiet, open, and free from emotional disturbance.

For example, if someone insults us, an unbalanced system reacts from whichever chakra is strongest at that moment. Lower chakras produce hurt or anger. Middle chakras produce understanding or softness. Upper chakras produce calm detachment. But if all chakras are balanced, the lower and middle reactions rise together and neutralize each other. What remains is the clarity and calmness of the higher centers. The result is that the person does not feel shaken, and the mind stays peaceful.

In simple terms, balanced chakra energy prevents the mind from collapsing into one emotional pattern, and when no single collapse is favored, the mind naturally becomes still. This stillness is the doorway to samadhi. When the mind does not cling to any specific reaction or outcome, inner freedom appears on its own. This is the essence of why balanced energy leads to calmness, clarity, and eventually glimpses of real samadhi.

Awareness at the Anahata Chakra – Healing Through the Goddess Within

I began my yoga practice at 5 a.m. today. The air was still, mind silent, and body ready. After spinal breathing, I moved through guru-given yoga and my own selected set, including chakra meditation from top to bottom — without holding breath. These days I avoid breath-holding to prevent excess head pressure. Yet I’ve realized there’s no real need to fear it; the head has an incredible capacity to bear and balance the force of prana.

Once, during a dream-state gastric uprising, I experienced immense head pressure, momentary choking, and a transient rise in blood pressure — but the body adjusted beautifully. It reminded me that a well-practiced body knows how to balance itself. So, my preparatory yogic routine continued for about an hour and a half — enough to create the internal yogic pressure required for launching into dhyana.

I know this yogic pressure is temporary. It gradually dissolves into the luminosity of dhyana, just like gas slowly burning out from an LPG cylinder. And when that inner fuel finishes, the practitioner naturally returns from dhyana — first through strong internal contractions from lower to upper area of body backside as to facilitate the movement of energy in the three main spinal channels, followed by the gradual deepening of breath. When the breath returns to normal, the eyes open by themselves. The same happened today.

During dhyana, Vajrasana again gave an excellent starting response. Subtle breathing began automatically at the Ajna Chakra and continued for quite long. Yet all along, I felt a kind of sexually blissful senation at the Anahata Chakra. I was including this bliss within my Ajna-to-Muladhara meditation line, so both centers — Ajna and Anahata — were simultaneously satisfied. No other centres seemed power hungry. Later, I shifted my dhyana solely to Anahata. The awareness deepened there, but the main purpose of dhyana — the realization of Shunya (void) — was not completely fulfilled there. So, I again combined both Ajna and Anahata awareness together.

I recall a Kriya Yoga expert once said that “spinal meditation alone can’t grant liberation.” He emphasized that Ajna Chakra meditation includes the whole spinal system. Today, I understood his point deeply — indeed, every chakra of the backbone is reflected within Ajna. Yet, even knowing this, my sensational awareness remained localized at the rear Anahata Chakra, unwilling to move elsewhere, although breathing awareness was on agya chakra.

Yesterday my focus was at Vishuddhi Chakra, where I had a throat infection. That infection cleared today, but the infection and along with it the energy had descended to the chest. This shows how sensitively these inner sensations mirror physical conditions — a subtle diagnostic test and often a healing mechanism. Still, medicines nowadays help more directly, supporting this inner process. In ancient times, diagnosis and healing through awareness given the form of the Goddess held prime importance, as there were not so many worldly facilities available.

As I visualized the Goddess at the Anahata, the rising sexual bliss from the Muladhara seemed to empower Her presence. I could faintly see Her fighting demons — symbolic of microorganisms — within my chest. It felt as if the Anahata Chakra itself had become a Lingam, the real blissful lingam now manifesting only there.

After about thirty minutes, when my legs cramped, I slowly shifted to Sukhasana, minimizing body movement while keeping awareness rooted at Ajna to avoid breaking dhyana. I then sat for another hour, not breaking earlier feeling that Shakti was healing my heart center and its connected tissues.

Towards the end, a magnificent experience unfolded — a clear perception of Shunya, more radiant than yesterday. It felt as though I was seeing the infinite sky directly above, though my head was hardly tilted upward.

Reflections:
The heart center feels open today — calm, luminous, and healing. The Shakti there is gentle yet profound. Awareness no longer seems confined to a point but spread like the sky itself. Every breath now feels like a hymn in the temple of the heart. Moreover, I was quite busy intellectually yesterday, so it seems that heavy intellectual work facilitates dhyana; however, it can also take a toll on the body’s health.

Healing Through Dhyana: My Journey of Heart and Throat Chakra

A few days ago, I experienced a strong emotional blow due to social reasons. I had high expectations from highly paid laborers, expecting some great work, but they delivered nothing more than child’s play. I was deeply disturbed. That evening, when I sat for dhyana, I noticed my breathing naturally suspended at my Anahata chakra. Instantly, I felt immense relief, and my heart was healed surprisingly and immediately.

The very next day, I faced a heated debate with a few fellows, which tensed and disturbed me. Being more tired that evening, I skipped my dhyana practice. However, I did receive some relief through sympathetic family interactions. On the following morning, I noticed my breathing naturally settled at my Vishuddhi chakra, and during dhyana, I experienced a smooth breath suspension and healing at the throat. This taught me that worldly conflicts are not necessarily opposing dhyana. In fact, when tactfully handled, they can sometimes favor it rather than hinder it.

This experience led me to reflect on the deeper mechanisms of chakra energy, breath, and meditation. The emotional blow activated my Anahata chakra, which is the center of love, trust, and emotional processing. Breath suspension during dhyana allowed prana, or life energy, to flow precisely where it was needed, releasing tension and producing immediate healing. This shows how meditation can catalyze self-healing by aligning breath and awareness with the chakra that has been activated by specific emotional events.

Even when I skipped dhyana during the heated debate, some relief still came through external emotional resonance, like the support and sympathy of family members. While this relief was partial and slower than meditation, it shows that external support can act as a mild substitute for dhyana in harmonizing chakras.

The shift to Vishuddhi chakra the next morning was directly related to the intellectual and verbal stress from the debate. The throat chakra governs communication, expression, clarity, and mental processing. After tension in Anahata, the energy naturally rose to Vishuddhi, allowing breath suspension there and smooth, instant energetic recalibration through dhyana. This shows that chakras respond to context-specific triggers: the heart for emotional stress, the throat for intellectual or verbal challenges.

One of the key insights from these experiences is that worldly conflicts can actually favor dhyana. When handled tactfully without being drowned in the drama, meditation can utilize activated chakras for healing and alignment. Life stress can thus become a guide, highlighting where energy is stuck or needs refinement, rather than an obstacle.

The general mechanism appears as follows:

  1. Trigger → Chakra activation → Breath aligns → Awareness directs prana → Healing.
  2. External stress does not block dhyana; instead, it creates a map of where energy is stuck, which meditation can resolve.
  3. Each chakra responds to a preferred type of stress:
    • Muladhara → survival, security
    • Svadhisthana → relationships, pleasure
    • Manipura → power, confidence
    • Anahata → love, trust, emotional hurts
    • Vishuddhi → speech, clarity, mental tension
    • Ajna → intuition, decision-making
    • Sahasrara → transcendence, cosmic awareness

Through these insights, I realized the intelligent interplay between emotional triggers, energetic responses, and meditation. Dhyana does more than quiet the mind—it serves as a precise tool for emotional and energetic recalibration. Conflicts, when approached with awareness, can become openings for inner work, and each chakra reacts to the stress that naturally pertains to it.

In essence, meditation works in harmony with life’s challenges. Emotional pain or tension doesn’t block growth—it illuminates the path for healing, showing exactly where awareness and prana should be directed. My personal journey through Anahata and Vishuddhi chakras illustrates this beautifully.

For anyone practicing meditation, this experience emphasizes that being tactful in worldly interactions and observing where stress manifests in the body can guide dhyana to the most needed areas. Emotional, intellectual, and verbal challenges can activate corresponding chakras, and dhyana can then harmonize them, turning ordinary life events into precise tools for self-healing and awakening.

Kundalini switch

Friends, this time I will describe the simple technique of yoga. This is, to touch the lower surface of the tongue with the soft palate. Well I had written about it earlier also. But this time I will show the practical form of the technique. Just now I landed the Kundalini through the front channel through the tongue. With continuous practice of yoga, my technique is constantly improving. I am constantly learning new things about it.

The brain’s thoughts and tongue-palate touch should be meditated together

By doing this, the power of thoughts itself goes down through the front channel.

The more far inside the tongue is in contact with the palate, the better

The back part of the palate is soft, velvety, moist and slippery. There the sense of touch is also stronger and full of joy. The more the Kundalini is in the upper chakras, the faster and deeper the sensation of mutual touch of the tongue and palate. Even if the touch sensation remains for a moment, the Kundalini descends. This is similar to the way a current flows through the momentary contact of two wires. Many times this feeling is also produced by rubbing the tongue on the palate.

Breathing also works to make and erase the tongue and palate touch

That is why the contact point of the tongue-palate is also called Kundalini switch. This contact point becomes somewhat loose while breathing. Actually, awareness decreases here. This means that the Kundalini switches off, and the loop circuit of the channel breaks. This causes Kundalini energy to accumulate in the brain. This happens more thoroughly when the air is inhaled through stomach movement. Similarly, meditating on the back channel as a hood raising snake also helps Kundalini to climb up the back channel. The accumulation of Kundalini energy in the brain also makes it easier to experience the sensation of touch of the tongue and palate, as mentioned above. Also, it becomes easier while exhaling, because at that time there is downward pressure on the entire front channel. In this way, all these technical points help each other like the spares of an automatic device, and the Kundalini cycle starts running continuously. This refreshes both body and mind. Anyway, anytime the tongue touches the palate, the extra burden of the brain comes down. When the brain becomes empty, the Kundalini manifests itself in it. Nothing happens with just touch, awareness should also reach there. Deep feeling of touch sensation there causes reach of awareness there itself. As a result, there is a deep muscular sensation in the front channel, especially in the front swadhishthan chakra, and regular and deep breathing starts with a deep gasp of breath. This is the movement of Kundalini Energy.

The front channel passes through the center of the back of the tongue, intercepting all the front chakras uo to the Muladhar Chakra. This causes a sensation with cramp in the entire front channel area as Kundalini Energy passes through it.

At times, the Kundalini energy is felt on a thin and central line, sometimes without a line

One does not always have to move the tongue too far back on the palate. Many times a good feeling is found in the front bony part of the palate. In normal position of tongue, tactile sensation can also be experienced along the palate instead of inverted tongue. It should be done as it seems appropriate. At times, Kundalini feels moving in a thin line. This happens when meditation is deep, and the mind is calm. Many times the Kundalini Shakti is seen only changing place from one Chakra to another Chakra, the channel line connecting the Chakras is not visible. Feelings develop on their own with practice. Therefore, do not imitate the sensations of others, and one should be engaged in right practice. Similarly, sometimes the movement of the Kundalini causes the contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the area to be felt, of course, the Kundalini is not detected. This is done by applying the correct technique. It shows the influence of Kundalini. Sometimes it does not even feel, especially when the muscles are tired.

Relation between Kundalini and meditation on Breath

The breath is very important in Kundalini-meditation.

With the mind of the Kundalini, breathing starts improving, so the body’s metabolism improves. Similarly, by focusing mind on deep and regular breathing (with the body moving with it), the Kundalini appears on the chakras of the body (especially on the Anahata and Manipur chakras), and on the nose tip. Especially it is noticed on the nose tip, when the breath touching the nasal tip is minded. The same thing is written in the Gita (Hindu-scripture) too. There comes a topic called “meditation on nasikagra / nose tip or starting point of nose.” Many scholars consider it as a midpoint between the eyebrows, that is the Agya chakra. They call the starting part of the nose as this midpoint, because in their view the nose starts from there. Actually, the nose tip is nearest to the front lips, from which the nose starts. I can say it with evidence. When I go on a morning walk, and feel the touch at the sensitive part of the beginning of the nose with the cold breeze of the morning, then on my nose tip, on the peak of nose or slightly outside it, my kundalini appears. When I count one number with full breath (both inside and outside breath), likewise counting from one to five (most of the times foot-steps also aligned with the breath), and then breathing five times without count, and repeat such a sequence again and again for long, then the Kundalini becomes even more stable and clear.

Similarly, with the meditation of breath, you can also pronounce “So(silent a)ham” in mind

It also helps to get the godly power of “OM”. When pronouncing “so”, there is in breathing, and while pronouncing “ham”, there is out breathing. Sanskrit word “So / Sah” means “He (God)”. The Sanskrit word “ham / aham” means, I, That is, I am God / Brahma. In yoga, the importance of all types of breaths is there. If breath is shallow, then mind focusing on that at nasikagra / nose tip is easy. If there is deeper breath, then at the Vishuddha Chakra, at the Anahata Chakra with still deeper breath, with deeper than that, it is easy to meditate on those breaths at the Manipura Chakra and with the highest deepness level of breaths, it is easy to focus mind on those at Swadhishthan-Muladhar Chakra. By breathing with the stomach, meditation of breath at the navel chakra appears to be the easiest and most effective.

Non-duality and breathing

While bearing the Advaitabhaav / non-dual feel like Dehapurush, Kundalini is exposed up, and with this, breathing (along with metabolism) improves. Puffs become regular and deep. The air of the breath is felt appealing, and the feeling of satisfaction begins. Stress starts to end. The mechanisms of the body are relaxed. The working of the heart improves. The burden of the heart decreases. There is calm in the mind with joy.

Quick and double meditative benefit from breathing

Double way can also be adopted. In this, by holding the Advaita (mainly with the help of physiologic philosophy / shareervigyan darshan), the breaths are slightly deepened and regularized. Then paying attention to those breaths, more benefits are obtained. In addition to the non-dual feeling, the breath can be improved even by direct meditation of the Kundalini. Advaita and Kundalini-meditation, both of them can be run together. With the non duality, Kundalini becomes manifested anyway. Additional attention can be given to that exposed Kundalini. After concentrating on the breath for a long time, the Kundalini becomes like a stable and clear image in mind under meditation. The Kundalini then refreshes the whole body, relaxes it, and removes the disease.

Breath movement ignites meditative attention

While focusing on breath, moving parts of the body with breath itself attract the meditative attention. Almost all major body parts move with breath. In this way, the entire body gets entry into meditation. The whole body is full of Advaitic (non-dual) men. Therefore, the mind itself is filled with non-duality by indirect attention on those dehpurushas. According to “physiology philosophy,” these micro human beings exist in the form of body cells, and body biochemicals. These micro human beings behave just like living beings. Because a being having an Advaita feeling can only be a human being, not another creature. In other organisms, there is even lack of the bhaav / mental possession / feeling, so there is no question of type of feeling. Therefore, the form of a human being appears superimposed over those dehpurushas. Because a yogi has made a man (master or lover) as his own Kundalini, so the yogi is most habitual of that man’s form. From this, the form of that special man that is attributed to his Kundalini, that is superimposed over Deh-Purusha of that meditating yogi. With the practice of yogic pranayama, the breath becomes associated with the kundalini. From this also, the Kundalini manifests itself in the meditation of the breath. In this way, the Kundalini is constantly reinforced with various efforts, so that both of the mind and the body remain healthy. In this way, Kundalini can be awakened in the earliest times. In all these efforts, physiology-philosophy has a very important role to play.
