Kriya yoga personal experience of a disciple

I do not want to be misinterpreted! I am not saying that Kechari is not important; I am fully aware that it is an effective and powerful tool - I will show its great importance in the evolved form of Thokar.

Easy form of Thokar [widely known as Second Kriya] Let us begin by describing the easy form of Thokar which contains the full beneficial effect of the advanced form of Thokar and therefore is enough in itself to produce the enormous power needed to untie the knot of the heart.

First, the environment to be created is like that of the Omkar Pranayama. The syllables of the Mantra "Om Namo Bhagabate Vasudevaya" touch each Chakra. Thokar means to add some movements of the head which are more intense than those in Omkar Pranayama: a complete anticlockwise rotation, followed by a stroke directed towards the center of the chest. With the chin on his chest, a kriyaban slowly inhales and starts raising the awareness along the spinal column, touching the very nucleus of the Chakras with the syllables [the syllable Om is placed mentally in the first Chakra, Na in the second one, Mo in the third one, Bha in the fourth one, Ga in the fifth one and Ba in the Bindu]; simultaneously, the chin is raised as if to follow the inner movement.

During the inhalation, the muscles at the base of the spinal column are contracted.

The rising energy touches the internal part of the spinal column, ideally entering every Chakra. When the chin is up, horizontal, the inhalation ends with the concentration on Bindu. The breath is held, the muscles contraction is kept. The head begins its round by moving to the left shoulder [left ear moves slightly towards the left shoulder, the face does not turn left or right and the movement is free of all bouncing], Te is thought in the Medulla. The head tilts back a little and in a sweeping arc reaches the right shoulder, [the right ear coming near the right shoulder], the syllable Va is thought in the cervical Chakra. The rotation goes on, the head bends forward just a little and moves left until the left ear is near the left shoulder [the face is not turned to the left]. From this position, the chin is tilted down diagonally as if to strike the center of the chest, whereas Su is placed into the heart Chakra through a high mental intensity.
