Hi wise ones,
I need help on Vishuddhi chakra. I met a learned person few days ago - who placed his hands on various parts of my body and suggested that I try opening my Vishuddhi chakra(he opinion was that it is reason of energy blockage in me). Suggest me pointers. Will Yoni Mudra Kumbhak help? |

| I don't know much, but I know that letting go opens it. |

aditya,
With a dedicated and disciplined practice all will be as it should. The AYP practices don't favor specic chakras, the system works an overall process that allows natural unfoldment, like flowers bloom in their season so shall all your chakras, not to worry.
Bidding you Divine Bliss and Liberation in this body,
Swami Vajra |

Namaste Aditya:
Strive to be a better listener, especially of the inner Whisperings of the Divine which touch your deepest heart of hearts, and strive to exert more quality control of your speech, perhaps by reading Sacred Texts aloud or by chanting your personal mantram audibly, and contemplate or practice Samyama on the Yantra for this Chakra. 
Here are a couple of links to info regarding the Visuddhi Chakra:

Hari OM!

Hi,
I am able to assist you if you wish but be aware that opening areas prematurely can lead to excessive purification symptoms.

Hi Aditya:
Chin pump (dynamic jalandhara) is also very good for throat opening (and much more), preferably taken in order in relation to the rest of the practices presented in the AYP lessons. All things in good time.
Wishing you all the best!
The guru is in you. |

Hi Dave - do not worry - I always evaluate (almost once a week on regular practice - once a day when I start new practice) - I have slipped in past - I will not cross limits.
Thanks Guru jee for suggesting dynamic jalandhar - if that is one way - it will be my way. My guru is in you till I find Him in me. |

Hi Aditya,
Also helpful can be kirtan, in conjunction with some kirtan - followed by kirtan!
Seriously, though -- the physical vocal expression, combined with the inherent pranayam dynamics, and (hopefully) augmented bhakti -- will ultimately benefit all chakras -- but there can be specific vishuddhi benefits to chanting.
There are many resources online, and some kirtan / bhajan chants (usually of the more traditional variety) are available to download for free.
In terms of commercial / Western (musically) stuff - I recommend Krishna Das first and foremost - primarily because he tends to stick most closely (as a Western artist) to traditional yogic kirtan dynamics - namely:
*The chant / song starts out slow, builds, gets really rapid, climaxes - and then tapers off (all of which is needed for optimal yogic benefit, on several energetic levels).
*His chants / songs tend to be long enough to be useful, yogically (fifteen minutes or so).
*The mantras chanted are all in Sanskrit (as opposed to some Western kirtan artists, who mix English lyrics in), and his pronunciation is very good for a non-native Indian language speaker.
*The mantras are almost all at the simple end of the kirtan spectrum, that almost anyone, regardless of language background can pick up on, easily - the benefit of which is: it's easier to have deeper spiritual experiences when you're not wracking your brain trying to remember the next line of the chant (and for most people, "Hare Krishna" is much easier to remember, than, say "Apurvanam Param Nityam Svayam Jyotir Niramayam" ).
And, by the way (for anyone reading this, who may be curious) - kirtan has been (essentially, albeit informally ) "AYP safe" by Yogani -- meaning that - even though - yes - you are technically chanting additional mantras -- that the practice (of kirtan chanting) in general is external enough that it does not conflict with other AYP practices - and therefore kirtan chanting will, in all probability, for the most part, it is presumed - not cause your head to explode. Hopefully.
Seriously, though - I do most of my chanting in the car - which is pretty much as "external" as it gets, yogically.
Hope this helps.
Peace & Namaste,
Kirtanman |

| I will echo Yogani and say that chin pump combined with Kechari has been very helpful to me in this area |
