Should you be looking up towards the spiritual eye or not because you said to concentrate on the spine? Thanks Steve.
We concentrate on different parts of the spiritual anatomy. It is important to keep our attention at the spiritual eye during meditation. This spiritual exercise is for the chakras and not just for the spiritual eye. Although we still can lift our gaze during the practice. When one meditates on the chakras the attention is on each chakra that we are focusing on. When we get to the chakra at the spiritual eye we focus on that chakra. We can ask one of the monks on Sunday to clarify this. If it needs more clarification.....

Thanks Steve. How long do we stay on each chakra before moving on to the next?

Hi Steve! A very good technique. Prabhat Sinha
Nomaste Prabhat
This technique helps us get our conscious awareness into the spiritual spine. All the energy we draw in from the cosmos goes back out into body awareness and the world. Now we reverse the process. Starting from the lowest chakra. From the coccyx we go up to the third eye and then down again, chakra to chakra, till we get back to the base of the spine. We are bringing the consciousness inward so we can experience higher states of awareness. This awareness lies within us. The kingdom of heaven is within.

Hi Steve! Due to some circumstances I have taken kriya diksha from two source. One is from gurudev Amarnath Tiwari of Lahiri mahasaya sangh and one from YSS(SRF). The technique I told you is kriya lesson learnt from gurudev Amarnath Tiwari. The similar technique is discussed in lesson between 100-150(I don't remember clearly) by gurudev Yoganandji. Prabhat sinha

Thanks Prabhat If you come across it let us know. In the mean time the more we practice kindness the more we give love the more we share the more we are drawing ourselves to the alter of God; our chakras and the internal dimensions associated with meditation. Affirm up the spine; om at each chakra and then in reverse order. Jai Guru!

Amarnath Tiwari is a new name to me. You have these saints that often seem to stay in India. We are so fortunate when they come here to the states. They seem to especially come to Los Angeles. Will Amarnath ever visit us? Jitendra

Hi Namaste ! Lahiri mahasaya has many disciples as Sri Yukteshwar ji, Bhupendra nath sanyal and others. From Bhupendra nath sanyal to Jwala prasad Tiwariji to Gurudeva Amarnath tiwari ji. The presence is not on web but in many places of India. All gurus are one and as Lahiri mahasaya says in kutastha or christ consciousness. prabhat

"Concentrate at the point between the eyebrows, and go up the spine mentally chanting 'Aum' at each of the centers: coccyx (root), sacral, lumbar (navel), dorsal (heart), cervical (throat), medulla, Christ center (third eye). Now mentally go down the spine chanting 'Aum' at each of these centers. Go deeper and deeper in concentration, up and down the spine, mentally feeling the centers and mentally chanting 'Aum'. As you do this, you see that your consciousness is no longer locked in the external awareness of the body, but becomes centered in higher spiritual perceptions in the spine. Relax in God. Don't be tied to the consciousness of the body. Let your mind go deeper and deeper in the thought of God."
--Paramahansa Yogananda "December 24, 1936 all-day Christmas Meditation", Self-Realization Magazine, Winter 2002, p7
