Awesome, Forrest! I love the storytelling quality of your teachings. Our imaginations are a great tool for growth and transformation. An example I love is the Batman effect that refers to the finding that children perform better on a difficult task if they pretend to be someone else who would excel at it. Blessings and blissings!
Forrest I do work with people with traumatic brain injuries, I really try to do my homework and always think about them implementing this wisdom of brain and body connection, some of them lost their frontal cortexes, and the list can go on I'll continue to do homework, and more and more I'm fascinated by this lineage - but sometimes I feel like my KRI is divided because of trying to understand and bring it to my practice in the community. as always I'm deeply honored and grateful for your teachings! you are an inspiration :)
That's wonderful Mike, what an amazing career! I understand it's difficult to bridge the gap sometimes when there's more you'd like to offer but it might not be welcome. I'm sure you bring the spirit of it and that's what counts. 🙏
1:40 It's funny you say om bomb. Because I literally do ohm strafing runs, ohm bunker Buster's. You name it Forest. We go in from the back of the spine and the front. Sometimes we go out the sides. Because what I'm finding is I feel it all over on most of them. Times it's so intense that like I have to stop trying to feel it. And I don't know that the energy is that intense, or it's just me coming online in my body for the first time in a long time at that level. Making it seem intense. As every muscle cramp I've come across, I'm pretty sure I already had with the same amount of tension. But when I come across it gets much worse and then it lets go.
Thank you Forrest for another great video! I've been getting to know the centers lately and it is such a wonderful process. Have you ever thought about how each of the centers, from the first to the sixth, is a bit more "internal" than the one below it? Materiality is completely external. The drive for companionship is seeking something that's outside of us but reflects us more closely than a physical object. Ambition is all us and normally at odds with the outside world somehow, like those guys in movies who neglect their families to make a lot of money. Love is feeling ourselves in the outside world. I'm not sure how words fit into this scheme but it does seem to me that they are a bit more removed from the outside world than the experience of loving it. And pure ideas and downloads are more of a direct reflection of the real "us," the one reality all our subjective realities are rooted in. I was always faintly interested in chakras and energy and other deep layers of being like the unconscious and the oversoul but actually sitting and doing kriyas and watching it unfold is so magical and nothing like reading and thinking about it. And the bliss of kriya yoga and getting to know the inner world is so real and amazing.
Holy moly. That is by far the best explanation about the whole world of chakras that I’ve ever seen and heard. So gorgeous Forrestji and so valuable. I’ve read tons of books about emotions and emotional intelligence. And I was quite aware that the „body is the stage for emotions“ (Antonio Damasio). But this kind of explanation with the chakras being projections of the mind is so beautiful and makes deep sense to me. Thank you so much my American Guruji 🙏
So thankful for your teachings and clear explanations. Found you some days ago. So much to learn man. So much to listen to. I use meditation for three years to except myself and go threw the cptsd which crippled my life so much. Geus what Forest, it heals at an incredible pace. Psycho told me, I should except my brokenness. But I heal, aspecialy the last 12 moths, break barriers gently, every single day, a step at the time. And you are a gift threw your videos, that seem to keep on giving. And one day I also hope to get less tired. A heavy sense in the gut and the heart. I hope to find some clous on your channel, on how to chant into it. Tnks again for all the info, not found anywhere else, to my knowledge.
Yes Forrest, it does make sense to me. And yes, i do love this. So your hopes are very nourishing to my (our) curiosity. I hope you have a splendid day my amazing friend.
Thanks a lot for your teachings and lessons. You have helped me a lot. l practice your 3 breaths per minute hrv video on a daily basis, and exactly as you mentioned in the video, it feels like a necessary cleansing to continue living.
Impeccable timing as usual sir. Was just discussing this subject with a good friend the other day and told her my knowledge on the subject is quite superficial. This explains a lot. Thank you good sir!🙏🏼
So nice, this pop up on my feed again. Dear Forrest ji, I have a question, I remember one of your videos where you teach how to locate the chakras, It worked as I made omh japa on them. But since my spontaneous kundalini rising. I've noticed now if press the anus to locate the first chakra the sensing is on my third eye, so I don't know if still can I make ohm japa for cleansing the first chakra 😟 thank you🙏
Thank you. This video especially nice; felt peaceful and blissful as I listened just now. I am also taking your two classes you offer on your website. Both are superb. I continually gain insight into this world of meditating that you have so generously re-opened for me; and find re-listening to your videos and classes very helpful too. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this, its so easy to create ideas around this subject…i had a few that i felt was taken away by this video…with a smile…anyways…my take away of this is also not judge things so much in good and bad…more in the spirit of your message on what works and what not works… Thanks for sharing all this, take care~
15:11 he was truly ahead of his time, either that or everyone else was massively behind along with the people they were teaching. Which could be...lol No, I've been trying to look up all sorts of information on this lineage, to see if there's anything near me. Because it's the only one that sounds right at all..... The whole dropping out and disconnecting seems to be completely against the purpose right now... And well, I don't consider that i really mastered that much. If when you leave your cave and come back in just society, you can't do anything of what you were doing in the cave.... Right?
What an excellent video Forrest Gurudev. Superb explanation of each chakras and its identification. We always have a max and min for each activity. QUESTION - if there attributes are low of a chakra in a person, will OM japa enhance this ? Say someone is very lazy, by OM ing 3rd chakra, can this be rectified. Thank you for this great video.🙏🙏🙏
Brilliant explanation! The way you've explained it is going to stick forever. I have a question: what are elements of the 4th, 5th and the 6th Chakra. Earth, water and fire are the elements for the first three as you mentioned.
Forrest,ty for all u do💙I have a question,do you know if earth signs (Taurus,Virgo,Capricorn )have harder time meditating???As we are ruled by Venus and very earthy in nature.
I have used Om JAPA in each chakra when I’ve had problems and it has cleared it out for me. I was once very angry with the Divine Mother for allowing something to accrue. I knew that everything is of the will and desire of the Divine but I was still upset with what was going on and I couldn’t let it go. I simply asked what chakra it was coming from and I Om JAPA into that chakra and after a while the anger was gone. Thank you so very much guruji!🤩🤩🤩🙏🙏🙏🕉🕉🕉📿🤪
Thanks Forrest I'm relatively new to this, would you say an expression of the behaviours related to those chakras means anything in itself? I.e its blocked or something this needs clearing to reduce the likelihood of that behaviour occurring again. Or is it the other way around, you do 'stuff' out of habit and a muddy chakra is just an expression of that behaviour and nothing will change untill you change yourself?
Many thanks Forrest as always for the amazing teachings. Can I please ask, I assume this is practiced separate from morning and night meditations? How long and how many times do you Om Japa into each chakra? Maybe these answers are available in one of your other videos? Thanks again.
The two main parts that are projecting into the 2nd, according to Todd Murphy, are the left hippocampus and the left caudate nucleus. So you have words of sensuality, and the sensual sense of the body.
I just found your channel and feel like I walked into Wonderland. I thought Yoga was stretching and exercise. I thought Chakras were only Eastern religion names for body parts they felt were important. Curious-er and curious-er Seems I’ve found a door to the rest of my life, Thank you for the way you explain things!
Hassan, I'm a new student of Forrests teachings. I've always heard that the 3rd (solar plexus) chakra is where you've described it, close to where the ribs meet. Since paying attention to Forrest's pin point location of each chakra I am finding that I am actually able to feel each chakra during meditation in exactly the locations which Forrest has described to us. I have never before been able to feel the chakras. It has been quite eye opening for me. I feel incredibly fortunate that I discovered Forrest because there have always been so many unanswered questions to do with my meditation practice and things which arise (such as the "roll up" and other sensations) during my meditations. Forrest has a physiological answer for everything. Now it all makes so much sense. It is practical and simple and no mystery involved. When I chant Om into the 3rd chakra I feel it right behind my navel and perhaps an inch upwards, or half an inch. The same when doing Navi Kriya in the back into the 3rd chakra, it's in line with my waist against my spine, on the level of my navel.
Thank you so much Forrest for the great vídeo. 😊🙏When you say (in the end ) that your chin is going up, is it something that happens naturally? Because it happens sometimes in the end of long meditation and I thought it has to do with the posture.
Yes it can happen automatically, especially if you are looking up towards your spiritual eye in meditation. It can be helpful if you tilt the head back and look up a little bit to give your mind this idea of going up and Ascension. Thank you! 🙏
Hi Forrest...I wanted to ask you a specific question , which is best way to do this... do you have an email a public person could use ? Thanks for your time.
Almost three years ago I understood love can and never in a million years hurt me 💖 awesome work you do brother 🎇I guess I was reborn by kundalini 🙃🥰💖🙏
Thank you so much.. profound knowledge of the lineage that we do not get anywhere! Gratitide😊
Awesome, Forrest! I love the storytelling quality of your teachings. Our imaginations are a great tool for growth and transformation. An example I love is the Batman effect that refers to the finding that children perform better on a difficult task if they pretend to be someone else who would excel at it. Blessings and blissings!
Beautiful Mauricio! And so true! If we are programmed to excel, then we will most likely automatically Excel! 🥳🤩🙏
Forrest I do work with people with traumatic brain injuries, I really try to do my homework and always think about them implementing this wisdom of brain and body connection, some of them lost their frontal cortexes, and the list can go on
I'll continue to do homework, and more and more I'm fascinated by this lineage -
but sometimes I feel like my KRI is divided because of trying to understand and bring it to my practice in the community.

Sometimes I get answers of my long pending questions, through your videos.
God bless you !!
That's so perfect!

I also feel joy / bliss in the heart chakra, but you’re right ( of course 🙂 ) this is also where heart ache is felt.
This is amazing!
You have really broken this down to the most basic explanation.
It makes a lot of sense.
Thank you, Forrest.
Wonderful! Thank you so much!
This was invaluable, thank you

Do you hear about thymus chakra?

Wonderful! It goes Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Aether, Super-Aether.
@@ForrestKnutson Thank you for the answer.
What about the third eye?
Wow, very strong lesson! You've really made your points; I'm looking forward to practicing!
Excellent! Thank you!

Did you see the Download Phase video?
Can someone help me understand what he’s referring to when talking about Todd Murphy not finding the first chakra? Who’s Todd? Lol
Utmost gratitude for this wisdom.
I humbly request you to tell me which part of the brain projects in the 2nd chakra?
Pranaams
❤️🙏🏼
The two main parts that are projecting into the 2nd, according to Todd Murphy, are the left hippocampus and the left caudate nucleus. So you have words of sensuality, and the sensual sense of the body.

❤❤❤
Also, do you Om out loud audibly ?
Or mentally ~ if both / either is one better than the other ?
Or do they each have their own purpose ?
Mentally chanting is considered ideal. If you do it audibly, he suggests shifting to mental recitation whenever possible.
Thank you so much Forrest for the great vídeo. 😊🙏When you say (in the end ) that your chin is going up, is it something that happens naturally? Because it happens sometimes in the end of long meditation and I thought it has to do with the posture.

Where does Om Jappa fit into practice?
You can fit it right after some HRV Resonance.
Do I chant om with hrv breathing?
Absolutely, once you are comfortable with each, you can combine them together for maximum effectiveness. 🤩
