Class 17: Express your Instincts
Kriya for the Instinctual Self
As human beings, we have certain instincts as do animals, but we also have the ability to direct, shape and give meaning to the expression of these instincts. Many of the strongest instincts find expression and representation through the “lower triangle” of chakras (i.e., the 1st, 2nd and 3rd chakras). The physical correlates of these chakras are the rectum, the sex organs and the navel point.
According to the science of Humanology as taught by Yogi Bhajan, dysfunctions of the body are reflected in the mind and vice versa. A serious neurotic behavior or self-destructive attitude in the mind will also appear as an imbalance in the lower triangle. One of the most direct ways to correct such an imbalance is to use physical nerve and glandular stimulation to alter the instinctual and learned patterns in the lower chakras. Once this is achieved and a new energy balance is attained, then, through analytic self-assessment and meditation, it is possible to effect the holistic change in behavior which is desired.
Meditation for Guidance
At times when the path of truth and clarity seems lost, calm yourself and still your mind. Then the path will be shown to you. In this meditation the head is bent as if in offering to the Guru or the Higher Self. Besides strengthening your mental direction, it can alleviate any blood disease.
To live life according to the guidance of inner truth is essential. If you do not, you will have doubts. If doubts are not removed, then frustration comes in. Frustration, when not released, leads to anger. Anger then leads to destructive action either to the Self, others, or both. To stop this vicious cycle, create the habit to still the Self and ask questions of your own higher consciousness. This meditation can develop that capacity.
