"The first centre is called the Mooladhara centre. It has four petals
(sub-plexuses), is placed below the triangular bone, and is responsible on
the physical level of the manifestation of the pelvic plexus which looks
after all our excretion, inclusive of sex activity. When the Kundalini rises,
then this centre becomes inactive in the excretion functions but active in
the support of the rising of the Kundalini. Though the Kundalini has to rise through six
centres, the first centre of Mooladhara
protects the purity of chastity of the Kundalini at the time of its
awakening."

Causes
of catch or obstruction on heel of palm
A
"catch" ("your hands will speak) is an imbalance. If, during meditation we feel heat or
tingling, or maybe even numbness in our fingertips, it means that our kundalini
is alerting us to an imbalance in a particular chakra. For example: Left side is
the emotional side, so it is also the side of pure desire. As seekers, our pure
desire is to know the absolute truth. Of course, even when we begin to seek the
truth, ego and super ego may tend to mislead us on our quest by enticing us with
superficial desires. If you are still holding on to intellectual ideas or
concepts of what truth is, when you are meditating you will very likely feel
your left thumb. Left thumb corresponds to Swadisthan, the chakra of pure
knowledge. So kundalini knows this misidentification is there and she starts
working to clear it out, while making us aware of it as well.
'Your
left palm heel will speak' if you engage
in sexual excessiveness, tantric and occult practices.
'Your
right palm heel will speak' if you engage
in excessive puritanism (eg. focusing on the evils of sex).
Spiritual
manifestation: Self-reproaching
Spirit
of Allah within warns of sexual misuse, false
gurus, and tantrism.
"Before
human beings were created, before the Earth and sky, long before the sun,
the moon, and the galaxies, I filled everything with holiness and
innocence. Single-handedly, the Mother Holy
Spirit, Adi Shakti, created Me
first to guard and protect Her everywhere. My total surrender to Her and
My exclusive alliance to Her can remove any obstacle. In your body I am
innocence, wisdom and spontaneity. I am the sanctity of the marriage union
and the blessing of saintly children. When Kundalini awakens My presence
in you, you regain your lost innocence. She overcomes all of His enemies
outside, as well as those within your being. I am the Everlasting Child
and the sparkles of My innocence radiate the universe
in a constant flow of bliss."
Shri
Ganesha was created by the Adi Shakti, the Primordial Power of God
Almighty,
without the cause of male-female principle. Being born out of the
Primordial Mother, He is with Her all the times and hence in every Chakra
in the human being. He is the embodiment of innocence, purity, and
chastity in creation.
In
the beginning of evolution, the first amoebae cell organisms were formed.
Thereafter they become more and more complex, developing into
multi-cellular organisms, and ultimately into humankind. The Mooladhara
Chakra is made of the earth element and represents the beginning of life.
When awakened and nourished, this association with the earth element
manifests as a magnetic force within that person. This Chakra is at the
root or foundation of the subtle system, and so is the support of all the
other Chakras. The Mooladhara is situated below the abode of the Kundalini, at the very base of the subtle body. In Sanskrit moola means
root (which is Kundalini) and adhara means the support. So
Mooladhara translates into "the supporter of the Kundalini."
QUALITY
The
fundamental quality of this Chakra is innocence and the innate wisdom,
which comes from having childlike innocence. The innocence is the type of
quality which is evident in babies and small children. It represents
action without motive or desire for gross personal gain. This innocence is
accompanied by the innate wisdom of a child. A baby knows fundamental
aspects of nature instinctively - it knows how to show discomfort by
crying, or how to suck to obtain food. This root wisdom, if left
untempered, would develop into a balanced set of priorities in the adult.
Unfortunately the influence of parents and society tends to muddy this
innocence and so obscure the wisdom that goes with it.
Simplicity,
joy, purity, integrity and balance are other qualities manifest in human
beings through this Chakra. Because this center governs the reproduction
organs and systems, sexual attitudes and behavior critically impact the
strength or weakness of this center. Sexual excessiveness, both physical
and mental, creates imbalances throughout the body's systems. "So
we have to put our carnal desires, dissolve them into the innocence, the
Ocean of Innocence, we have to dissolve it in the Ocean of Innocence.
Innocence is something to be appreciated, to be understood, to be enjoyed.
Like you see animals are innocent, the children they are innocent, flowers
they are innocent - divert your attention to all these things."
Once
Kundalini is awakened reverence for and desire to serve the Spirit within
gradually becomes heightened. By awakening the qualities of the Mooladhara
through meditation, we learn again to be more innocent beings, to be less
motive-led in our actions, and to rediscover the wisdom which is strong
enough to help us make the correct decisions in our lives.
TRADITION
The
presiding deity for the Mooladhara Chakra is Shri Ganesha, the Eternal
Child. He is the embodiment of innocence and
He guards His Mother Kundalini (Gauri) and Her instrument with great
alertness and uncompromising zeal. It is He who informs Kundalini when it
is time to awaken and it is His anger which produces the heat in the
sympathetic nervous system if any unauthorized person tries to do so. This
is the reason why so many seekers have suffered a wide variety of mental
and physical ailments, some serious enough to require hospitalization.
GROSS
PHYSICAL ASPECT
"That is an
eternal quality you have got. You never lose your innocence. Maybe, as
clouds can cover the whole sky, maybe your ego and conditionings and your
mistakes might have covered it, but it is always there - always there! Only
thing, it is for you to respect it, to behave in a manner that you respect
your innocence. Not to feel shy about your innocence. Never. Your
innocence itself is a Power and your innocence will definitely give you
that wisdom by which you can solve all the problems without any
difficulties."

The
Mooladhara Chakra governs the excretory and reproductive organs, and as
such has a direct bearing on the sexual aspects of the human being. There
have been attempts in the past to awaken the Kundalini through sexual
practice such as tantra. This is obviously very dangerous and can cause
the greatest harm to the Chakra itself. If one remembers that the
Mooladhara centre provides a gateway through which the Kundalini must
pass, then it is easy to understand how anything which is not innocent can
harm it. Sex has its place in human life as the most sublime physical
expression of love within the marriage. Through this channel birth and
creation continue their course. However, it is another thing to allow sex
to dominate out lives and bring us out of balance. After Self-Realization one
learns to develop respect and proper esteem for one's own chastity and
of others. This sense of right conduct is essential for the development of
our own gravity and power. It is the foundation stone of each of us as
human beings, the power of incorruptible innocence.
CLEARING
BLOCKAGE OF MOOLADHARA CHAKRA
A
weakened Mooladhara may show up in a number of ways; Poor sense of
direction, poor memory, poor sense of balance (gravity), certain 'incurable'
diseases or mental problems. One
of the most effective is the mantra of Shri Ganesha. So after raising your
Kundalini and prior to meditation put your right hand on Mother Earth, and
the left open and resting on left lap, say Shri Ganesha's mantra four
times:
OM TWAMEVA SHAKSHAT SHRI GANESHA SHAKSHAT
SHRI ADI SHAKTI MATAJI SHRI NIRMALA DEVI NAMOH NAMAH
-
Sit
on the earth as much as possible.
-
For
left Mooladhara place the left hand on the Chakra (just above the
groin area) and the right hand on the ground.
-
Soak
your feet in a bowl of warm salted water (foot-soaking).
-
Affirmations:
"Shri Mataji, please make me innocent." "Shri Mataji,
please clear my Mooladhara Chakra."
GENERAL
ADVICE FROM SHRI MATAJI:
-
Try
to keep your attention on natural things such as the earth, sky or grass
rather than the gross or material things.
-
Avoid
too much red meat as this can over excite the Chakra.
-
Relate
to members of the opposite sex as brothers and sisters, not sex objects.
-
Meditate
on the quality of innocence to develop this power.
In
Sahaja Yoga the elements of Nature - Earth, Water, Fire and Air - are
used to heal and cure the mind and body. To
the modern mind clearing/healing techniques like oil massage on head
chakras, ajwain dhuni and ajwain water, coconut, lemon and
chilli treatment may seem strange, even silly. But modern diseases -
childhood traumas, substance abuse, stress scars, social wounds and mutilated minds - are invisible and no remedy is available from the local
drugstore. Each and every human has to potential to cure every disease
afflicting him or her, provided the Knowledge is available.
"Sitting quietly; doing
nothing, stilling the mind and calming the body, has never been the
western way. For centuries, meditation and Yoga (Union) have been regard
by Europeans as an esoteric, Oriental practise of little practical
benefit.
But over the last two decades, the increasing speed and pressures of
modern living have been matched by an increasing need for ways to cope
with them. Medical science is now proving what a growing number of people
in the West have discovered for themselves: That the relaxation of true
meditation has measurable beneficial effects on all levels of our being,
with no damaging side effects.
In the Yoga of true meditation, there develops a conscious awareness of
the subtle energy that exists within us all, and a spontaneous connection
with the inner mechanism by which it is governed. This integration cannot
be forced through exercises, chanting or mantras. It happens as a natural
awakening, in just the same way that our body grows and maintains itself,
without any conscious effort on our part.
The last few years have seen the evolution of a process whereby this inner
integration can take place in ordinary people everywhere, irrespective of
age, occupation race, colour and creed. It is not a theory or a concept
that has to be worked at. Sahaja Yoga is a solid experience, an actual,
physical relative verifiable in one's own nervous system, that leads on to
spontaneous improvements in one's well-being and relationship with the
world. These include numerous incidents in overcoming alcohol and drug
addiction, diseases (such as cancer), heart problems and other physical
and mental disorders such as stress, depression and tension.
The word Sahaja means 'in-born', because the purifying and healing energy
that is gently awakened lies waiting within every Human Being from birth.
From that moment one is able to start bringing balance into one's life. As
well as the benefits mentioned above, the simple meditation and techniques
of Sahaja Yoga bring one onto the central path, between such damaging
opposites as: Too much lethargy or too much frantic activity, --too much
emotion or lack of emotion--of living too much in the past, or thinking
too much of the future. So one becomes a calm, joyful personality,
confident and able to enjoy living in the now of the present."

"I have been practising the Universal
Energy since 1996 up to level 4 with many well known teachers with the intention
of curing people and myself, for which I never charge any money. I did a few
experiments against my teachers advised, but worked, which made me more advance
than other people, who were in the same level as me. I have also studied fortune
telling and facial fortune telling, which helped in combining the curing. Throughout
my years of practising the Universal Energy, I have cured many patients, who got
better, but I felt the excessive heat, pain and discomfort inside. Sometimes
when curing, I also got the patients illness too. I felt weak every time after
curing people, therefore, I only treated myself and a few closed friends. Being
a forever learner of new techniques, I went to two more teachers, who taught
about the Kundalini. Not until ………. After I read a newspaper article on
Sahaja Yoga, I felt challenged to prove their method. To begin with, I didn't
gain much, until after a month, when I learned more and have tried a few
techniques like shoe beating, soak my feet into salted water, the Havan fire
etc., although sounded and appeared strange at first, but after the experience,
they all worked in clearing my negativities and troubles inside me. Everything
became better and cleared. I now understand 100% about the Chakras system.
Sahaja Yoga taught me how to transfer the adverse energies from my left and
right sides to the central channel, which keeps me in balance, I can feel the
coolness and not the heat and pain inside any more. Also taught me how to raise
the Kundalini energy, by myself, which helps me clear all the negativities
inside me and also protects me. So far, whenever I asked Shri Mataji, our
founder to help, my prayers have always been answered. My well known teacher,
who taught me the Universal Energy, Luong Minh Dang Dasira Narada, a Vietnamese,
told me once, that the next era will be a very powerful women, whom many people
respect, now I understand why and feel, that I am most lucky and privileged to
have found Sahaja Yoga by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. I have now been in Sahaja
Yoga for just over a year and stopped completely, this forever searching for new
techniques because Sahaja Yoga provides me all the answers to my search. It
gives me the intuition, that do not concentrate on the curing, but teach other
people about Sahaja Yoga which will help them automatically to cure themselves
healthwise as well as spiritually, will be the best solutions to help them. Now,
I would not recommend the Universal Energy to anyone because of the ultimate
health adverse effect, after understanding more from Sahaja Yoga.
