determine the outcome of our new persona. By starting with the negative energy it will help us retain a calmer and more grounded essence that will in turn allow less stress and more efficient functionality. By comparison if we start with absorbing new positive energy first we can become more anxious and again begin to develop calcifications or blockages. In order to accomplish this we look to the earth as the prime source of the negative energies, the earth itself. When we work with the yoga, the actual ground is the best source, but we are not always able to be in this environment due to weather or local vicinity. So look to work on wood or stone with cotton cushioning if possible. We want as natural and as proximal to the earth as possible to absorb the best vibrations in accordance with nature. If this is not possible the postures will still work toward your goals, perhaps not as quickly, efficiently or profoundly.
“Pelvic Pose” Katikásana We begin this revitalization circuit with soles of the foot and their connection to the earth. We allow the earth’s negative energy to enter the sole of the feet as they ascend the inner leg and toward the perineum or root Chakra. As we extend into this posture you will feel the inner leg and thigh stretching as the rear (ground) of the leg contracts to inhibit energy flow. As you stretch also pull up on the perennial base and anus to assist the energetic flowing from the earth. Pay attention to the influence the lifting of the perineum has on the vibrational quality of the inner thighs and entire pelvic structure. Feel the subtle nuances and keep them in your awareness so as to compare the essence with the positive energies simultaneously entering the third eye and running down toward the root Chakra to join. These negative energies will feel very fast in vibration and fine in the vibrational aspects. As the body arches back and seals the ascending energetic lines of the spine, Shushuma, Ida and Pingala. Start the arch from the frontal legs and carry through as the lower abdomen, stomach, chest throat and face all arch back to stretch, absorb and allow the positive energies descend the open Chakras from 6th to first. As you arch and open the upper body this way be aware of the vibrational feeling of this positive energy flowing. This energy will feel slower and with larger oscillations between waves as this stronger
energy flows. As it meets the negative energy at the perineum you will begin to feel the both begin to spiral in a circular manner with the positive at the surface of the lower abdomen and the negative beginning it’s rotation from up the tailbone. As you experience these two vibrations spiral in this fashion (akin to the Chinese symbol of Yin and Yang), feel them then expand to encompass the entire inner pelvic area. Maintaining this flowing spiral is possible throughout the day and in work, meditation or your Yoga exercise. This inner core is not to be retained or built, but rather trained to increase the flows throughout the body in a natural and non-controlled manner. We only seek to become aware of this existence so that we may become more aware of the both energies and their natural paths.
Breathing and Intention: Prior to you adopting the arched posture, inhale deeply and slowly to feel the vibrations and weight on the backs of the legs and into the ground. Then exhale slowly and deeply to relax the entire body as you then lift the pelvis and pull up on the anus and perennial base. This will serve to pull the energy from the earth into the soles of the feet and into the lower pelvic region. As you then begin to exhale further tilt back the head and slowly stretch from forehead toward the abdomen as you now slowly inhale. Feel the breath and vibrations work from the 6th Chakra toward the 1st where the both energies will meet expand. As you maintain this arched position, inhaling and exhaling feel the full and continuous feed of both positive and negative energy as it then begins to spiral. Maintain the posture as the spiraling energy then expands to fill the pelvic structure in a three dimensional spherical quality. Be aware of the varying speed and vibrational frequencies that initiate and perpetuate the energetic spiraling. Work slowly to develop this skill and awareness in the vibrational qualities as they enter from the two poles, meet and join to circulate in the universal pattern. Eventually you will not only be able to maintain the feel throughout your day and activities, but also sense the same or lack in others. You are becoming truly enlightened.
