Tips 113 – Yogic techniques
on the seat of wisdom.

The goal of a Siddhar yogi is to reach the higher plane
of consciousness through yogic techniques and then be
guided by this 'higher plane of consciousness' within
the 'third eye' through all other activities. These
activities could mean meditating, or doing daily chores.
For yoga practitioners, it is bringing down the divine
energy of perfection into every activity. To bring down
this divine energy enables karma free thoughts and
gathering heart's true goodness of intent and purpose to
be manifested on the human reality plane.
We normally function in the three states of mind that
is- the 'Satvic' mind that is pure and is like an eye of
a hurricane-calm but with all events happening around
(much like Mahatma Gandhi moving the minds of millions
of Indians towards a nonviolent freedom struggle while
he was tranquil and in harmony even as he was in jail,
or in his room in meditative contemplation); 'Rajasic'
mind that is filled in action (the majority of us are in
this category as we are faced with our daily lives) and
the 'Tamasic' mind that is caught up in the grips of the
external with inertia,
violence, extreme emotions,
and each thought is karma ridden and karma gathering.
There is the fourth state of mind- Turiya,
that the Satvic state is connected or leads to .
It is a state of higher consciousness where the mind is
subdued and guided by the divine. In this state of
Turiya, since the limiting factors of the normal three
states of mind is broken, the sages manage to go beyond
the need to sleep even as this pristine state is called,
'sleepless sleep'. The sages also call the state of
Turiya 'Mahalaxmi,' as any thought propelling out of
this mind is from the Source and therefore, they
manifests in the earthly realm. It is for the reason
that most spiritual beings, who climb above to be with
the divine, are able to bless and those blessings
manifest. Each of us would definitely have experienced
this state of Turiya though we may not be conscious of
it. The influence of the state of Turiya when utilized
in the lower three spheres, ie, Satvic,
Rajasic and Tamasic enables divine perfection in the
outcome.
Yoga is about attaining this state that sets us free
from limitations and karma. Yoga is about allowing the
state of Turiya to guide our mind on the mundane level.
The process of attaining Turiya through our daily yoga-
With each breath build consciousness of growing the fire
below from the muladhara (base chakra) and course the
fire gently above. Each bandha (lock) performed is to
lift the sacred fire upwards. Each inhale is to descend
to the mighty muladhara triangle fire and as we hold our
breath, to climb above the fire stalk of Kundalini and
bring focus on the chakra we wish to be at and exhale,
conscious of that chakra.
If each posture (asana) incorporates the guidance to the
inner fire climb of Kundalini with breath the key
element, the infinite subtle energy becomes more lit and
alive within us that we guide upward.
'Surya Namaskar', the sun salutation, is a perfect
series of asanas to guide this fire with each series
dedicated to the conscious lighting up of each chakra.
The descent of each breath into the 'muladhara triangle'
is vital. This triangle keeps ascending as we build our
fire climbing up the chakras. The goal is to reach the
Ajna chakra, the 'third eye', the chakra of Siva-Sakthi,
with the union of the muladhara fire. To meditate in
this sacred spot is to be with the state of Turiya. This
state of mind gives us the larger picture of our life
and all around it. It is like climbing up a mountain and
taking the breath of freedom from the peak with the
vision of seeing all those limitations, frustrations and
pains small in comparison to the larger picture!
It is in the muladhara that our earthly aspirations of
the mind with all three natures, tamasic nature
included, that fulfills as a divine instrument to
complete human karma. Connecting the 'lower' chakra to
the higher plane of consciousness, the 'eye' of
awareness enables every sphere of our life to be
fulfilled with the higher wisdom enacting our reality on
this human plane- the body in its health, relationships
fulfilling, career inspiring and the mind knowing the
larger picture that is connected to Source.
In this seat of wisdom, all facets of life blossoms to
allow us to mature into seedless eternal fruit of yoga!
