System of the chakras and the sound
The Ājñā Chakra is reached through the foundational energy of the navel. Crossing into this chakra is difficult, as the ego arises at every border between states of being. Lower emotions can pull consciousness back down. All paths are correct, yet all beings share a common root. For those born from a mother, this root is the navel, the seat of the solar fire. All chakras originate from this center in the Maṇipūra. The primordial sound, the seed of all language and vibration, also emanates from here. This sound is the essence of life and consciousness, connecting all beings through an unseen language of energy. A practice exists to awaken this connection. Place one hand on the navel and another on the head. Chant the sound inwardly, allowing resonance to travel upward without physical movement. This kriyā purifies the energy channels and brings clarity.
"Everyone helps the strong. Rarely, or nobody, will help the weak one."
"Fire is fire. And that fire is in our navel."
