Many say working with chakras and the spine is necessary for spiritual progress, but Kriya yoga Guru Mukherjee’s words struck me deeply—only concentrating on Kutastha (the spiritual eye) leads to salvation. He claimed that focusing on chakras for eons won’t bring liberation. I now understand why.
From the very beginning, I forced energy into Kutastha using Tantra. Or should I say, I meditated directly in the brain. I did not have any special knowledge and experience of chakras at that time. After awakening, I worked lightly on chakras but never let energy linger there. This led to a quick awakening. Unlike traditional methods that ascend gradually, my approach bypassed stages and reached the threshold directly. When energy wasn’t dissipated into chakras or the spine, the shift happened swiftly.
Yet, awakening came with a new challenge—balance. At that time I had become detached from worldly affairs. Deep and heavy work used to inflame meditation image in the mind along with pleasure. It used to increase the pressure in the mind and of course pleasure also. However, I used to get great help from leftist tantra (mainly yin-yang type) to control it. My energy naturally moves up and down now, but staying grounded is necessary. For this, I practice chakra meditation daily. I hold my breath on each chakra, visualizing its color, grain, and bija mantra, moving from top to bottom. Without Tantra, grounding takes a little time; with it, it happens instantly.
I’ve heard of many grounding techniques, but I only explore them for research, not necessity. My system stabilizes well with Tantra and chakra meditation. This direct method works for me. The key insight? Salvation happens when energy fully settles in Kutastha without dispersing. Focusing elsewhere delays it.
For those seeking the fastest route—aim for Kutastha, stabilize with chakra meditation, and use Tantra when needed. Awakening is simple when you don’t overcomplicate the path.
