Have you heard about Bindu chakra?

Bindu means ‘point’ or ‘drop’.

It is situated at the back of the head, where Hindu brahmins grow a small tuft of hair, this point is known as Bindu.

Bindu is the centre of nada, psychic sound. In the practice of bhramari pranayama and shanmukhi mudra, for example, this centre will be used for concentration on the psychic sounds that may manifest. These techniques are used to develop awareness of nada.

Bindu is an important centre that gives us the power for physical and mental recuperation.

The benefits of Bindu chakra will be eyesight, it will quieten the emotions and promote clarity, balance, and inner harmony.

With the help of this chakra, you will be able to control your thirst and hunger, as well as overcome unhealthy eating habits.

Amrita, I don’t know if you heard about this word, but this means ‘the nectar of immortality’. This ‘nectar’ usually drops into our Manipura chakra (also known as the solar plexus chakra), where it is burned with our digestive fire without being completely used by our body.

Amrita is being produced by the Bindu chakra, which then bestows physical and mental health, vitality, and youthfulness.

For this reason, the Rishis of ancient times (Rishi is an accomplished and enlightened person, Rishis are believed to have composed hymns of the Vedas) sought a method to collect this valuable nectar and discovered that the flow of nectar can be stopped with the help of our tongue.

In the yoga techniques of Ujjayi pranayama and Khechari mudra, the tongue keeps the flow of nectar and stores it in the Vishuddhi chakra. It is then redistributed throughout the whole body via subset energy channels, where its healing effects unfold.

There are a few asanas that you can practice to help activate the Bindu chakra:

• Shashankāsana (Hare)

• Matsyāsana (Fish)

• Vrikshāsana (Tree)

• Sumeru Āsana (Mountain)

• Bhūmi Pāda Mastakāsana (Head and Feet on the Earth)

• Supta Vajrāsana (back bend sitting on heels)

Yoga is a process, keep practicing,

Namaste
