For those seeking to expand deeper into their practice, Settling The Foundation I provides tools for a more thorough purification of the human system, particularly the nadis (subtle pathways in the energy body), and the chakras (energy centers along the spinal cord). It is through purification of the nadis and the chakras that the energies of the mind and body become suitable for meditation, kundalini (potential energy for transformation, situated at the base of the spine) is awakened, and several psychological obstacles preventing human well being are overcome.
As the most supportive state for meditation is a state of both deep relaxation and tremendous alertness, a balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system is needed. The five-day program is structured to help achieve this through transmission of the powerful techniques of Maha Mudra (the Great Seal), Aswini Mudra(Dawn-Horse Seal), and Shambhavi Mudra (Shambhu’s Seal), as well as the continued practice of asanas (physical postures, pranayam (breath control) and Anapanasati meditation (mindfulness of breathing).
This program is also intended to provide a solid understanding in the following :
• Vasanas (psychological tendencies of the mind)
• The Ten Vayus (life energies in the body)
• The process of Satchakrabheda (Piercing Through the Six Chakras)
• The Three Granthis (energy blockages in the subtle body)
• The Ida, Pingala, And Sushumna
• Timings supportive for practice
• Kundalini and the reason for Kundalini’s awakening
