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 recognised by many cultures as a the mark of a realised 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 visualisation, projection, sound current and movement typical of the multi-sensory mode of a kundalini kriya.
Maintaining a visual image at the Agia centre, 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 revitalises.
In the realm of metaphysics, the present is before you and 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 hubdreds 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.' |

changes the gray matter in the brain. Stimulates the frontal lobe of the brain; also the pituitary and pineal glands. You work through the physical body, the emotions and mental states and are then in communication with aspects of the Divine within yourself.

Yogi Bhajan taught about a unique class of languages he called phonetic languages where the sounds of the syllables impart the meaning by the way they resonate with the archetypal human psyche. He mentioned Gurmukhi, Sanskrit and French as three such languages. In the 16th century, the second Sikh guru, Guru Angad created the Gurmukhi alphabet to phonetically represent many/any languages |

Even though it is vastly more important what a mantra does physically than what it means mentally, the intellect always wants to know meanings - Ek Ong Kar means One Creator created the creation. Sat means life/truth and Nam means identity of life. Siri means great beyond description and Wahe Guru means - WOW - infinite light comes from infinite darkness, the reality of the Cosmos.
The conscious mind relates to words and meanings. The sub-conscious and higher-conscious mind - which make up 95% of our mental body - relate to the symbols of imagery, and the sounds of melodies (ragas) and rhythms (taals). This is why art and music can move us at levels far deeper than any words can.
By chanting - over and over - the rhythmic sequence of these eight sound-beats, (EK ONG KAR SAT NAM SIRI WAHE GURU) the mind is entrained with this 8 = ∞ connection. There is a layering effect over the time that one chants this mantra, and eventually the big wheel of GOD runs the little wheel of self - appearing in our life as - THY will is MY will.
Chant this mantra to focus, structure, discipline and empower the mind.

"After meditating at the Lotus Feet of my Master, who has granted me liberation from the time cycle and the cycle of Karma, oh my sweet student teacher of the day, I disclose to you the secret of the Nam. If you care to listen to me this day and will practice you will be liberated like me. I have seen the God. It is a light equal to millions and billions of rays of sunlight. It is the cosmic energy which is the brightest of the brightest and most beautiful of the beautiful. Nothing beyond this can be said. It is the greatest of the great. When the Master, through his blessing blesses you, you will realize this within you.
Out of the 4 Yugs (Ages) which the scriptures described, one was Sat Yug - the Age of Truth or Golden Age. Then came Treta Yug, when the truth was 3/4 full and it was the Silver Age. After this came Doapar Yug when the truth was 1/2 revealed. Thereafter came the Kali Yug when the truth is 1/4. This Yug is known as the Dark Age - Age of Steel or Machine Age. The duration of each is respectively 1,728,000, 1,296,000, 864,000 and 432,000 human years, a ratio of 4, 3, 2, 1. This ratio is found to prevail in many sacred computations. These 4 Yugs together make 4,320,000 Earth years of what is called a Maha Yug or Great Age. In Sat Yug, the Age of Innocence, or Truth, man was one with the Divine and he realized the vibration which this Cosmic Energy created to make Prakriti (manifestation) and man meditated on the Nam "ONG" - the vibration of the Divine. After this came Treta Yug when the power of the truth came to 3/4, the being became weak and he recited the Nam "Sohang". Through this vibration he acknowledged his identity with the Divine which means "I am you". Thereafter came the Doapar Age when truth was weakened to 1/2 and man recited "ONG NAMO NARAYANA"; he worshipped the God in the form. We are now in the Steel Age - Age of Machine which is represented by a circle, which is the wheel of creation. It works with the power represented by another wheel which runs it. Constant vibrations from that wheel of Cosmic energy gives power of life movement to this wheel of creation. Now my dear sweet love, you draw one circle like the wheel and put another circle like a wheel over it (wheel over wheel) will make the figure 8 which according to the Science of Numerology represents Infinity turned sideways.
Spermatozoa take 8 circles around the egg before union takes place. There are 26 bones supporting the human foundation, that is the foot and there are 26 vertebrae in your spinal column: 2 + 6- 8, therefore said the Master, "Whosoever in this Machine Age will meditate and recite the Mantra which will be the Glory to the Lord and will have 8 vibrations, will open the lock of ignorance and darkness and this will liberate the being and will unite him with the Divine." Thus the Master meditated and came one with the Lord and gave the Mantra EK ONG KAR SAT NAM SIRI WHA GURU, which has 8 vibrations and describes the Glory of the Lord. Thus said the Master, "In the time period 2-1/2 hours before the rising of the Sun when the channels are most clear, if the Mantra is sung in sweet harmony you will be one with the Lord. This will open the solar plexis, which in turn will charge the solar centers - they will get connected with the Cosmic Energy and thus man will be liberated from the time cycle of Karmas and those who will meditate on this Mantra in silence will charge their solar centers and be one with the Divine. That is why with the blessing of my Master I speak to you of why we should meditate and recite this Mantra.
All Mantras are good, they are all for the awakening of the Divine but this Mantra is effective and is the Mantra for this time, so my lovely student, at the will of my Master I teach you the greatest Divine Key which has 8 levers and this key can open the lock of the time which is 8 in figure (wheel over wheel). Therefore, when this Mantra is sung in the neck lock, at the point where Prana and Apana meet Sushumana, this vibration opens the lock thus one becomes one with the Divine.
In the town of Goindwal in Panjab, India, even today this Divine Mantra is still inscribed on the walls of the Bowli Sahib (sacred well) at the house of Guru Amar Das, the Guru of Guru Ram Das through whose blessing today we vibrate in the Divine ecstacy. I disclose to you today this secret of the Divine for the uplift of humanity and those who will follow it will be liberated and be one with the Divine.
--Yogi Bhajan |
