Kriya for the BROW CENTER (SIXTH CHAKRA)
(Shiva Singh Khalsa Notes, Summer 2001)

Stand up. Stretch arms up, come up on toes, inhale, drop onto heels, exhale. Continue for 2 minutes. (A nerve in the big toe--which is interconnected through spinal relays to the pituitary gland--gets stimulated.)

Tree Pose. Still standing, bring the right foot flush against the left thigh (up to the groin, if possible). Put the palms together at the Heart Center. Concentrate through the third eye to a point on the ground 6-8 feet in front of you. Hold as long as possible, breathing restfully. Then change legs and repeat. Apply Neck Lock. Use Mulbandh (Root Lock) to keep the pelvis turned under. (As long as you concentrate steadily, you will balance; when your mind wavers, you will fall over!)

Frog Pose. Squat down, balancing on the balls of the feet. The heels are touching and raised up. The fingertips are on the ground between the legs, spine erect, the face is forward. Inhale, straighten the legs, look at the knees, keep the fingertips on the ground and the heels raised up. Exhale down, face forward, spine erect. Repeat 15 times. Sit on heels, meditate on breath flowing up and down spine, concentration centering on the third eye.

Still Sitting on Heels. Extend arms straight in front, parallel to each other, parallel to the ground, lean back 60 degrees (almost far enough to fall over). Begin Breath of Fire focusing with open eyes on any point straight ahead, drawing Infinite Energy through that point. 5 minutes. Inhale, hold for 5-10 seconds, bring the spine vertical, close the eyes, draw attention to the top of the head, exhale, relax, meditate on the breath.

Sit in Easy Pose. Hands in Gyan Mudra. Close off anus, inhale, gather prana at the third eye, eyes closed, exhale, fix concentration at the third eye, repeat with deep, powerful breaths five times. On final exhale, pull up rectum and sex organs; pull navel point in tight towards spine, pull chin in tight, keeping head up. Inhale and release the lock, all the while concentrating at the third eye. Continue in this pattern for 6 minutes.

Sit on Heels in Rock Pose. Hands in Venus Lock behind neck, touching bare neck. Breath of Fire for 1 minute. Then slowly bend forward from the waist, keeping the spine straight, continue Breath of Fire, take 3 minutes to bring forehead to the floor. Then inhale, hold 30 seconds, exhale, relax the arms, relax the whole body for 5 minutes in this position (Baby Pose).
