We will do Jagriti – Abhishek Kriya.

From the first centre,

Working upward to the top of the head,

Sounding all the seven centres.

Then moving above the head to the skies.

Sounding the centres with the sound of OM.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

Three minutes each centre.

We begin with the first centre.

Om….

Follow the sound,

Feel the sound all the way to the centre.

There to open and awaken.

Om….

Put force into it.

Om….

Feel the sound reaching to the centre.

Om….

We move up to the second centre, Svadishthana,

At the root of the genitals.

Take a deep breath each time you make a sounding.

Om….

As you finish the sounding,

Empty out the breath, completely.

Then, before you begin the next round of sounding,

Take a deep breath.

Om….

If thoughts come up allow them to pass.

Om….

We move up to the third centre, the navel, Manipura.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

Om….

Feel the centre through the sounding.

Om….

Follow the sound,

Feel the sound all the way down to the centre,

There to open and awaken.

Om….

We move up to the fourth, the heart centre,

Middle of the chest, Anahata.

Take a deep breath before you start sounding.

Om….

Feel the centre through the sounding.

Om….

We move up to the fifth centre, Vishudha.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

Om….

We move up to the sixth centre, between the eyebrows, Ajna.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Follow the sound up to the centre,

There to open and awaken.

Om….

Feel the centre through the sounding.

Be centred in the centre through the sounding.

Om….

We move up to the seventh centre, Sahasrar.

Om….

Now we move up above the head to the sky,

As high as we can go.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Follow the sound,

Feel the sound all the way up to the skies,

The heavens above your head,

There to open out.

Om….

Feel yourself lifted.

Now five minutes in silence.

Be centred in the skies,

In the heavens above the head,

As high as you can be.

Breathe into and out from the heavens above the head.

Through the breathing be centred in the skies above your head.

Feel yourself opening out above your head.

Feel yourself lifted.

As you breathe in – you reach into the skies.

As you breathe out – you empty out completely,

Centred in the heavens above the head.

We will start descending now, coming down, Abhishek.

Feel the heavens descending with you.

Top of the head once again, seventh centre.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

OM….

Feel the vibrations in the top of the head.

Om….

We will move down to the sixth centre,

Between the eyebrows.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

Om….

Through the sounding be centred in the centre.

Om….

We will move down to the throat, the fifth centre.

Take a deep breath each time you start sounding.

Om….

We will move down to the fourth centre,

Middle of the chest, the heart centre.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Om….

We will move down to the third centre, the navel.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Om….

We will move down to the second centre.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Om….

Put force into your sounding, make it strong.

Om….

We will move down to the first centre.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding.

Om….

Now we will move down into the ground,

Deep down into the earth.

As far down as you can go through the first centre.

Take a deep breath each time before you start sounding,

Down into the subconscious.

Om….

Five minutes in silence centred in the earth,

As far down as you can be.

Breathe into and out from the earth-centre,

Down into your subconscious.

Through the breathing be centred in the subconscious,

Down into the earth, the depths of the earth.

Now, for five minutes be centred in silence in the heart centre.

Breathe into the heart and out from the heart centre.

Through the breathing reach deep into your heart centre.

Finally, through the top of the head,

Breathe into and out from the heavens,

As high as you can be.

Through the breathing,

Be centred in the heavens above the head,

For ten minutes in silence.
