namaste my friends,
i want to share some of what i've been going through with my samyama practice and i hope i'm not mistaking or desillusioned but plz correct me if i am.
all replies and opinions are welcome.
lately i've come to the realization that samyama seems to be a heart chakra practice even though we are not taught to be focusing on that area.
all of the letting go i'm doing during my samyama session seems to be going and melting in the area of the heart where to me it seems that this is the biggest radiator of inner silence.
when working on the ajna during spinal breathing pranayama, an automatic relation is established between root and center brow and mulabandha is always automatic at that phase in my personal case and ecstacy conductivity rises up during that.
on the other hand during samyama, it seems to me that all the work is going on the heart chakra and there is an automatic connection working between the heart and all the sushumna (all the chakras and body) but it directly stimulates kundalini and again there is automatic mulabandha and then there is something rising but it's not ecstacy it's inner silence.
so is it all kundalini energy becoming more refined through the process of activating the heart by the practice of samyama?

Hi, for me samyama seems to be felt mostly in the area where most purification is happening and it doesn't seem to be oriented towards any specific chakra. But who knows :)
For a time, I've also felt it mostly in the heart chakra, but for some time now, it's more like a total, coordinated letting go on every level and it causes the crown to open and that's inner silence and unity rising as you say. Actually while that's happening, it's beyond words and the heart and crown don't seem different :)
And yes, I also think this is a refinement of kundalini. Towards a letting go that encompasses the whole cosmos :) |

hi Tadeas, that's true it works through out all the body and effects all the chakras i've noticed that and mentioned it and all i'm saying is that it seems to have the heart as it's centre.
thk you for nice input.

Hi Ananda
Thank you for sharing 
Just some....observations:
quote:

Sometimes - the "i am" mantra can also "seem to be a heart chakra practise" Nevertheless - we gently favour the mantra over that noticing. Not because it is wrong to notice - simply because we are transcending all images and forms and locations.
quote:

Ananda - wonderful that you experience the melting
After practise....I can notice all and everything I want......
During practise:
The letting go is the practise. The letting go is also the noticing. The letting go is the location.
And - be it inside or outside practises:
The biggest radiator of inner silence is....inner silence

Ananda,
For me the inner silence in Samyama brings out emotions to an extraordinary degree. "Love" brings out that feeling - pulled or magnified by the silence - until I am love. I am still not comfortable with the feelings which arise even after months of practice.
Namaste,
Joe |

Ananda,
yogi bhajan was once asked
"all these practices, this and that, etc.. etc... what Must one do?" Yogi Bhajan took his pointer finger and placed it on his belly button, then with the same hand planced his thumb on his heart canter and said "all you have to do is move from here, to here" Nithyanand has a book, guarenteed soulutions, in it the first chakra he talks about, The heart chakra. You have heard the saying, "love conquers all" So you ask for our advice, I ask you to trust yourself. if it feels right, worry not what others think or say. You may have found or experienced the "it". If you allow, thinking may take you out of "it" If you have peace in the heart, stay there, what more could you ask for? In your samyama of the heart, if you want to say my name, Neil, I would be honored
My love and trust to you, trust that you know
Brother Neil
