Parvathi Padma Dhyana

The Femiinine Complement to Chakra Dhyana

That Grounds & Integrates the Kundalini Energy with the Body

by Michael Milner

Thank you, Amma!

Parvathi is the wife of Shiva, a benevolent form of the Supreme Goddess, the Divine Feminine. Padma is Sanskrit for Lotus. Dhyana is Sanskrit for Meditation. Hence we could call this the "Divine Feminine Lotus Meditation". Just as Parvati is the feminine counterpart to Shiva, Parvathi Padma Dhyana completes and provides the Divine Feminine balance to Chakra Dhyana.

This important complement to Chakra Dhyana can be found in the book "Sri Amma Bhagavan Varadeeksha Mala". It grounds the Kundalini energy down through the body, healing, energizing and transforming the body. In addition to laying in Shavasan (that is on our backs with our eyes closed, arms at our sides, palms facing upward) regular practice of Parvathi Padma Dhyana can help us keep the Kundalini and Oneness Blessing energies grounded, balanced and integrated with the physical, emotional and psychological levels of our being.

If people encounter difficulties after receiving Kundalini & Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) energies in the upper chakras it may be because they have not grounded and integrated those energies with their bodies, emotions and deeper psychological levels of their being. In this case, Parvathi Padma Dhyana would be very beneficial!

Thank you Sri Amma!

Parvathi Padma Dhyana

1. After finishing Chakra Dhyana sit with your eyes 

closed, spine erect but not rigid, in any position that is 

comfortable for you. (If it feels right, you could touch 

the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth).

2. Visualize a golden lotus at the Sahasrara (crown 

of your head), with a stem going down to the Mooladhara 

Chakra at the perineum (base of your body). 

3. As you inhale, visualize a golden liquid flowing up 

the stem from the Mooladhara towards the lotus in your 

crown.

4. Hold your breath and visualize the golden energy filling 

every petal of the lotus.

5. As you exhale feel the energy coursing down through 

every cell in your body (Feel it flood your Heart Chakra, 

your lower belly, your hands & your feet).

6. Repeat the cycle at least 7 times.

In my groups I often use this variation: The energy can be exhaled all the way down down through the feet into the earth, down into the core of the planet and out to all the sentient beings living on the earth, turning the entire world golden. Then one would inhale from the earth up through the soles of the feet to the crown (and through the crown into the heavens) and exhale down from the crown through the feet into the earth. This is very powerful, uniting heaven and earth and bringing healing and transformation to the planet and to all living creatures on the earth.

Variants of this "grounding principle" can also be found in Taoist breathing exercises like the Microcosmic Orbit and the Macrocosmic Orbit. In my experience, practicing these energy pathways almost immediately eliminates any difficulties encountered as a result of ungrounded and un-integrated energies the upper chakras.
