Asana
Question
If done with sincerity, do yogas and meditation open up the chakras?
Do people feel a tingling sensation down the spine while meditating or praying intensely(read it on some website)?
People take that strange sensation as some divine blessing from the ultimate source(God).They strongly feel so.Are they right or misguided?
Answer
1. Yes
2. Tingling sensations along the spinal column occur when Prana (vital energy) rises up during Pranothana (linear movement of Prana).
3. Isnt this life itself a blessing? This life of a human where one can understand things using intelligence, contemplate and decipher the secrets of ones existence so as to attain liberation and eternal bliss? Such a blessing is not available to animals.
All progress that one makes towards knowing his true self are blessings. Hence the sensations that occur during Yogic practice carried out for self-realization can be assumed as the Lords blessings if one so wishes.
