Chakras, Nadis and Kundalini
2:15 - 2:54 (39 min)

A discourse on the subtle energy systems of yoga, including chakras, nāḍīs, and the mind.

"The mind is a river; we should not block it. If we block a dam, we must provide an outlet. Without an outlet, the dam will break and cause greater harm. The mind needs direction."
The teacher provides a detailed explanation of the chakra and nāḍī (energy channel) system, relating it to human physiology, the elements, and life metaphors like a leaf separating from a tree. Key themes include the symbolic nature of chakras, the function of the Iḍā and Piṅgalā nāḍīs, the dangers of improperly awakening kuṇḍalinī energy, and how suppressed emotions manifest as physical ailments.

The speaker addresses a gathering of practitioners, explaining the journey of the soul and the universal presence of inner sight. He shares teachings received from his Gurudeva, using the metaphor of a seed's growth and a story about a guru's astral rescue of a devotee to illustrate the power of focused awareness (trāṭaka) and the spiritual significance of the navel (nābhi) as a point of energy and re-entry.
