Theos-Talk Archives (June 1998 Message tt00598)

Thomas:
If you're looking for something more than just writings, Deepak Chopra
gives a very basic heart chaktra meditation/working in his audiobook "Path
of Love".  It's pragmatic and packaged for mass consumption, but the basics
are all there.  What I found interesting, is that he mentions the heart
chakra as a good place to locate your "self"/"soul" if you don't already
have a "location" for it.  This seems like good advice --I've seen people
"assume" that the "higher than chakra the better" and focus location on the
third eye and crown.  This can induce altered states, "discontinuous
reality states", self illusion, and generally disrupt one's personal
psychic environment.  In the '70's it was easy to hear stories of
institutionalized "seekers" who attempted to mingle these techiniques with
psychatropic drugs.

If you're need a major city, another good source of information is the
local kundalini yoga groups.  Here in the midwest, 3H0 and Krilya (check
spelling) offer classes and lecture in these areas.
