Kundalini Pranayam is the yogic process of consciously creating and sustaining a definite ascending and descending flow of Cosmic Prana through the cerebro-spinal channel. ______________________________________________

OM Kundalini  Pranayam         In as breath… I thus receive              the cooling rush of Lighted birth.         Then out as breath… I merge with Thee              to warm the heart and wed the earth.         And let this practice so extend              to move as smoothly as a breeze         That even as the grasses bend              they welcome it with ease.              I welcome it with ease.         A rhythm like poetic verse              touches deep the heart to feel         And loose the chains of anguished cells              revealing waves of Joy to heal.         And on this wave a Word resounds              deep into the Eye to know         That each may see the passing life              is his to make the wonder show.         And grip not to the Word in stream              lest ye leave the heart aside         But join into symphonic play              the coming and the ebbing tide.         To hear upon the current still              a whisper call, a friendly voice         Making clear the Path remains              until I make the choice.         In as breath… I thus receive              the cooling rush of lighted birth         Then out as breath… I merge with Thee              to warm the heart and wed the earth.         Resonating Sound of Thee              for each and every cell to find         The inner flow along the spine              an involution of a kind              where sings the heart of Joy              where sings the heart of Joy.         And when the flow of love is full              without a single thread to miss         The coming and the going join              tender as a kiss.         Thus in time a ripeness comes              where inner and the outer see         Without a trace of doubt to know              that there is naught but Thee.              For there is naught but Thee.         Into the Voice that You do speak              to shape a Sound of Love to hear         A home in every place to be              within a Heart that You did steer              the Endless Sounding Love to hear.         A laugh to think someone might fail              at passing through the door to come.         The Tallyman, Him smile and say,              "Welcome every single one…                       Welcome everyone."

           To acquire the ability to redistribute Cosmic Prana within the cord, we must first learn how to enter the cerebro-spinal channel consciously, and remain there for extended periods of time.  The only way we can begin to achieve this entry is to remove our attention from the senses.  This is the single greatest challenge of the spiritual life.  It is the sense organs, themselves, which have drawn our attention outward in the first place.  These sense organs, by design, require a steady  distribution of oxygen for their use.  This is achieved by breathing and the flow of oxygenated blood.   However, when we completely disengage our attention from the senses, this blood flow is no longer required.  Instead, the entire vehicle is enveloped in an energy field of Cosmic Prana.

             The yogi disciplines himself to make this cerebro-spinal entry again and again.  He learns to make this his home.  Eventually he becomes adept at watching… and thus causing… Cosmic Prana to flow within himself as is its design.  The cord within the body enlivens with resonant energy.  A wondrous, soothing current awakens along the spine and brain.  It resonates sympathetically with the holy sound, Om.  As this happens, the yogi gains an immediate insight into the path of incarnation.  Consciousness firmly attaches itself to the body through the breath.  This new flow dramatically alters the way his consciousness perceives this attachment.  For the moment, he becomes a fish out of water and begins to understand the "water" for the first time.

       Yoga is the practice of allowing the body prana to become reorganized and redistributed according to the original design of Cosmic Prana.
