Chakrabhedan(circle-interception) - a New Kind of Yogic Exercise

There are many types of Yogasanas or yogic exercises taught by several Masters on yoga. Yogic exercises should be simple so that practitioners of all ages can practise them. The aim of yogic exercises is to supply sufficient warmness or heat to the body so that germs causing disease are killed; deposits in veins and arteries are removed and mind gets concentrated. As gold is purified by burning, so heat generated from yoga removes or kills germs or foreign matter from the body. Further in yogic exercise mind remains within the body and thereby gets concentrated.

My yoga Master late Munishvar Shiv kumar Shastri has developed an unique yogic exercise called Chakrabhedan(circle-interception). This is very simple but most effective for making the body disease-free and concentrating mind to a great extent. The body has six major chakras or circles. These are - Muladhar Chakra at anus, Swadhisthan Chakra at genital, Manipur Chakra at naval, Anahat Chakra at mid-chest, Vishudha chakra at throat and Ajna chakra in between eyebrows. These are vital Chakras for the body in order to survive.

Besides these six Chakras, there are minor Chakras both in the legs and hands. There Chakras are simply joints in the legs and hands. So in all there are eighteen Chakras in the body. In Chakrabhedan body parts or limbs are moved along fixed directions on the plane of each chakra. While moving limbs mind is fixed on a particular chakra. So not only there is an exercise of the body but there is exercise of mind also. This Chakrabhedan exercise cannot be described in words. Learners may learn it directly from a Master. Once learners learn it they shall find it most effective.

Mantra meditation

This technique involves a person learning to consciously repeat certain sounds that they find appealing to their mind and which will help them to achieve a meditative state. The word mantra actually means revealed sound or a combination of sounds which are developed naturally. However it is important that you do not confuse mantra meditation with religious chanting.

Raja Yoga meditation

This particular meditation technique will take the person (often referred to as a Yogi) to a much higher level of self awareness. They find that they are elevated to much higher levels of joy and bliss as their mind moves away from the pleasures associated with the body and reform any bad habits that they may have. However in order for a person to fully understand this particular technique they will need to have the right kind of guidance from an instructor trained in this method often referred to as a guru.

However as previously mentioned there are lots of different meditation techniques for a person to choose from and it is best that they learn as much about each one before they decide to use a particular one. You may well discover that it may take you several attempts to find a technique that you are truly comfortable with and which will help you to achieve your goals of becoming relaxed and happy with who you are and the life you lead.
