Lesson 10 - The Navel Chakra and the Lower Triangle An Introductory Course, Designed and Written by Guru Rattana, Ph.D. Yogi Bhajan teaches that the activation of the Kundalini starts at the navel center. Reflecting on my experience over my many years of practicing Kundalini Yoga (preceded by 8 years of Hatha yoga), I have often had an intuitive urge to return to the navel center. Whatever our question, the answer usually includes 'strengthen your navel center!' The navel center is the focus of many spiritual disciplines. The Taoists start and return to the navel center while practicing the microcosmic orbit. (Internal circular breath that starts at the navel, goes down the front to the base of the spine, goes up the back to the crown and back down the front to the navel.) ( pp. 153-7.) The internal martial arts initiate moves from the navel or don tien, which is 2-3 inches below the navel. Where is the Navel Center? In the very early Kundalini lessons taught by Yogi Bhajan, he said that the navel center is actually approximately 2-3 inches below the umbilicus. In these lessons, therefore, when we say navel center we are referring to a point 2-3 inches below the belly button. This is the center of energy that is the gravity balance point in the body. When we pump our navel energy or move from our navel center we are actually pumping and moving from a center where thousands of nerves come together. Each person can find this center in their own body by doing the Kundalini Yoga exercises given by Yogi Bhajan. As you practice the exercises, the nerve endings will be stimulated and the energy will coalesce at this point. Practice of any of the martial arts will also help you find and align this center of gravity in your body. One way to know is by feeling the pulse at this point. You can also feel the pulse right at the navel or umbilicus. ![]() Either way, a powerful pulse will indicate that your third chakra energy is aligned or 'set.' There are different schools of thought about the location of the navel center. I thought that all the martial arts taught that this center, called the don tien, was 2-3 inches below the physical navel. However, several years ago I studied with a Chi Gong master who taught that it was right at the umbilicus. The man was certainly a master of chi and his techniques worked. Kundalini Yoga has been taught using both locations. It all seems to work. Individual practice will help you find and cultivate your power center. Might have guessed that the Masters would give us just enough information so we would have to practice the techniques in order to experience the truth for ourselves! Opening the Heart Center. It is interesting to look back and observe the different spiritual paths in the 70's and 80's. The message of the flower children of the 60's was 'All we need is love.' ![]() ![]() Yogi Bhajan attracted many of these flower children to his classes. We certainly need more love. The question is how do we get it? Yogi Bhajan essentially said, 'If you want love, you have to prepare your mind and body to give and receive it.' So while other paths were concentrating on opening the upper chakras to receive universal Love, Yogi Bhajan was teaching us breath of fire, stretch pose and other strenuous abdominal exercises. There was no time to sit around and love each other. We were instructed to get up at 3:00am, take a cold shower and do 2-1/2 hours of Kundalini Yoga and Meditation. And then there was the remainder of the program, which included seva (selfless service), devotional chanting, and teaching, setting up restaurants and ashrams. Who had time for love? We were exhausted! Yogi Bhajan was a 'Saturn' teacher. ![]()
