From the major release or opening of the Kundalini in the “Big Toe Pose”
Angusthásana, we then worked to ground the flowing energies in the three main lines
of Shushuma, Ida and Pingala with the following “Bow Pose” Dhanurásana posture.
This served to avoid health and or emtional issues that too much release of pent up
energies can often times cause. As we saw the cold of the ground againstthe frontal
Chakras dissipated these overwhelming energies to maintain the balance while still
achieving a major release of them. The Seated Primodial additionally grounds these
released energies further insuring balance, harmony and awareness.

Kyusho (the Vital Point) of Energy Development
Posture 15 “Seated Primordial”
Rája Puránásana
As the energy released it rose up the back ofthe body as
it transcended to the crown and third eye, where it could
naturally coagulate and cause the prior mentioned issues.
But by grounding the frontal charkras and drawing these
energies from the head to the sixth charkra in the lower
abdomen (Dan Tien inChinese and Hara in Japanese
traditions), we provided a pathway for these energies as
we drew them down away from the brain.
However we did not accomplisha full grounding or circuit
of the energies as natural law dictates. The energy was
onlydrawn to the sixth chakra and we need to fully draw it
down to the root or seventh chakra to complete this main
circuit. By placing ourselves in this posture after the prior
two, we cannow accomplish this full original circuit. Our

tailbone and perenium now are placed in direct contact
with the ground which serves to draw the energies to the
root chakra... and ultimately the earth.
Additionally we can see that the backs ofthelegs are also
held indirect contact withthe earth to further draw the
Kundalini energies from the root charkra and down the
backs of the legs and to the heels. The toes are pointed
for extra emphasis on the heel, or one of our main
grounding anatomical structures. However this pose is not
only for grounding, it is for full energetic circuit
development.
As the toes are pointed we are simultaneously grounding
the energies transversing the frontal charkras, to the root
and down the legs as well as allowing the energies t rise
through the inner thighs to the perenium or lower
meeting/crossing points. The tailbone is not only
