Your arc line can protect not only yourself, but also others. It can also help you project and manifest whatever you want in your life.
The arc line is the 6th chakra or energy center located in the center of the brow at the “third eye.” Your arc line is the balance point between the physical realm and the cosmic realm; it coordinates the inflow of universal knowledge from your higher self and integrates it through your body, mind and spirit. By regulating and balancing the nervous and glandular systems, the arc line protects your heart center so it is safe for you to live with an open heart.
Commentary on the Meditation
Yogi Bhajan teaches a model of the energetic body as comprising five parts: the radiant body, the subtle body, the pranic body, the auric body and the arc line, each with specific and complementary roles.
The arc line describes an arc of light from earlobe to earlobe, known as the halo. A brilliant arc line is recognized by many cultures as the mark of a realized transcendent consciousness.
It is seen in magnificent depictions of the Boddhisattvas in Tibetan Sacred art, in the deities of the Hindu pantheon and the iconography of orthodox Christianity.
The function of the arc line is to attract and repel different qualities of energy and store energetic repercussions you have experienced and created in your life. This residue dulls the brilliance of the arc line and reduces its impulse frequency.
This practice enables you to gently erase the tarnished detritus from your arc line using a precise combination of visualization, projection, sound current and movement typical of the multi-sensory mode of a kundalini kriya.
Maintaining a visual image at the Agia center, the pituitary gland or third eye, etches the projection at its screen which is then transferred via the visual cortex to the brain and the endocrine system through the blood, to the organs and tissues. Water is a universal healing agent, a global metaphor for spiritual sustenance which quenches the fire in the soul. Water cools, cures, cleanses, refreshes and revitalizes.
In the realm of metaphysics, the present is before you and the past behind you. The movement of the hands which have the five elements in harmonious balance, showers the arc line with water and carries the spent energetic residue into the past behind you.
The entire bio-system is immersed in the sonic template of Wahe Guru Jeeo: 'ecstasy is transformation of my soul'. This mantra was first recorded by revered Rishi Patanjali, author of the seminal text The Eight Limbs of Yoga, and adopted hundreds of years later as the 'the mantra of transformation' by the Sikh Gurus, a line of yogi sages culminating in the warrior saint, Guru Gobinde Singh.
Yogi Bhajan comments: 'This meditation is for the arc line and to clear karma stored there. Wahe Guru is just a hand of prayer. Remember the power of infinity is not outside, it is inside. When 'I' and infinity create an impact, you'll become totally Divine. Otherwise there's a duality that keeps you away from reality.'
The Sound of the Gong:
Gong Yoga uses the sound of the gong in association with classical yoga practices to create a state of spontaneous meditation and therapeutic relaxation that facilitates the movement of prana (vital life energy) through the body for healing and to awaken the consciousness for transformation.
The use of the gong in yoga and meditation can be linked back in time to Northern India where it was played by Kundalini Yoga masters to awaken the intuitive faculties and create a transcendent state of being. The gong is intimately associated with Kundalini Yoga in the west. The Gong is truly the instrument of the Yogi.
The practice of Gong Yoga begins with sequences of asanas, mudras, bandhas, pranayams, and mantras (known as “kriyas”) to open the flow of energy and to create a receptive body-mind state for guided deep relaxation and meditation. While in the relaxed and meditative state, the gong is played to cleanse the subconscious and awaken the practitioner to a transcendent state of awareness. Read more |
