I used to be impressed to work with sigils, or sacred symbols, on a chat with visionary artists Alex Grey and Allyson Grey. They described how a sigil had supported them in realising their dream of the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors – their astounding gallery in Wappingers Falls, New York. So Nish and I made a decision to create a sigil collectively for our relationship. We have been attempting to have a marriage since April 2020, and have thrice been thwarted by Covid. We got down to meditate with our sigil whereas chanting the almighty vibration of the miracle mantra, ek ong kar sat gur prasad sat gur prasad ek ong kar.
I used to be nonetheless buzzing with the superb positivity of ‘ek ong kar sat gur prasad sat gur prasad ek ong kar’ from my earlier 40-day meditation. The Maha Gyan Agni Kriya is a completely completely different exploration of this mantra. This meditation holds the fingers in a yoni mudra, so you may think about that, coupled with the miracle mantra, it cooks up some fairly supersonic manifesting vitality. Sprinkle in a sigil, and WOW.
All was going properly with the every day 31 minutes. I used to be holding the sigil within the yoni mudra and experiencing a stunning unfolding with it in my every day morning observe. Until round three weeks in. That’s after I determined to get inventive. Rather than focusing merely on the mudra and mantra, deliberately holding the sigil contained in the yoni mudra (itself an adaptation), I made a decision to experiment with sowing the seed of the sigil in every chakra, specializing in one chakra for each one of many eight repetitions. It supported me in counting the eight repetitions in addition to embedding the sigil within the refined physique for further manifesting kudos. Forgive me – I’m nonetheless swimming by the infinite tides of shakti pad and experimentation is a side of this explicit ocean.
On the second day of my souped-up Maha Gyan Agni Kriya, I used to be struck with vertigo. I used to be pottering about my day when there was a glitch within the space-time continuum – it felt as if I misplaced my footing and toppled right into a dizzy crack in actuality. Oooft. It occurred the day after too, getting barely worse the day after that. It would catch me off guard throughout the day. One minute I’d be wonderful, the following, my head was swimming and I felt myself dropping grip. It continued for about 5 days, getting progressively worse, with the dizzy spells occurring extra typically, changing into extra disorienting. Thankfully it didn’t take me too lengthy to suspect that it could, maybe, be to do with shifting my consideration round my physique whereas doing this highly effective meditation, relatively than protecting it regular on the mudra and mantra.
The subsequent day, I stapled my focus again to the yoni mudra, to the mantra, and deserted the sigil altogether. No vertigo that day. Or the following. Or the following. I’ve not skilled it since.
Lesson discovered: I’ll hearken to the recommendation I’ve heard many occasions earlier than and never adapt the kriyas – even on a refined stage. These practices are so highly effective and wish no further frills. So, henceforth, I’m protecting my sigil and kundalini practices separate!
As an apart, the dizzy spells jogged my memory of what occurred throughout a observe of 120 days of gyan chakra kriya a number of years in the past… I didn’t learn the directions property and practiced it for 31 minutes for a great portion of the time earlier than realizing this was an 11-minute quantity. I’ll forevermore heed the ‘don’t change the kriyas’ recommendation.
