Practicing with AUM
The navel is the center of the universe. Our origin and roots are there, where the soul resides. From that single point, everything multiplies like a tree from a seed. The resonance of the entire universe is concentrated in the navel; it is the center of the earth and sky. That one divine energy, Śakti, dwells in every seed and atom, and that light of consciousness is Śiva. Concentrate on the navel and feel the breath; awareness is there. The inhale and exhale, like ocean waves, are the automatic movement of life. Through practice, one becomes flexible and awakens to this truth.
"The answer is in your navel. Everything is concentrated in your navel."
"All is Śakti and that consciousness."
