शिवसंहिता – पञ्चम अध्याय – श्लोक 62
Sanskrit (Devanāgarī)शिरः कपालें रुद्राक्षं विवरं चिन्त्येद् यदा।
तदा ज्योतिः प्रकाशः स्याद् विद्युत् पुञ्जसमप्रभः॥— शिवसंहिता, पञ्चमः अध्यायः (Chapter 5)
Transliteration
śiraḥ kapāle rudrākṣaṃ vivaraṃ cintyed yadā,
tadā jyotiḥ prakāśaḥ syād vidyut puñja-samaprabhaḥ.
Meaning (English)
When the aspirant contemplates upon the Rudrākṣa like Space in kapala or at the crown of the head (śiraḥ kapāla),then a divine light arises — shining with brilliance like a cluster of lightning.
Interpretative Meaning
This verse describes an advanced stage of meditation where concentration on the Kapalrandhra with the electric illuminated light’s visualization awakens an inner radiance — the effulgence of divine consciousness, symbolized as a lightning-like illumination in the subtle body.
Awaken the Inner Energy. Discover the Light Within.
A transformative workshop on Chakra Meditation, inspired by the sacred wisdom of the Shiva Samhita — one of the most profound yogic treatises ever written. This program invites participants to explore the subtle architecture of the human body as described by the ancient sages — a universe of energy channels (nāḍīs), centers of consciousness (chakras), and the divine power of awakening (Kuṇḍalinī).
Introduction to the Shiva Samhita and the Chakra System
The Shiva Samhita, a revered Sanskrit scripture on Hatha Yoga, unveils the inner science of human evolution — physical, mental, and spiritual. Presented as a dialogue between Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, the text is a luminous guide to unlocking hidden potentials through disciplined practice, meditation, and awareness of subtle energy flow.
According to the Shiva Samhita, the human body is a sacred temple composed of seven primary chakras, aligned along the spinal axis — from the Mūlādhāra (Root Chakra) at the base to the Sahasrāra (Crown Chakra) at the top.
Each chakra vibrates with a distinct frequency, element, color, and mantra — influencing specific organs, emotions, and states of consciousness.
The journey of meditation through these seven centers represents a gradual ascent from instinct to intuition, from matter to spirit, and from self-awareness to cosmic consciousness.
Workshop Overview
This immersive workshop blends the philosophical essence of the Shiva Samhita with guided experiential practices. Participants will explore:
Chakra Awareness & Energy Mapping
Understanding the role, location, and symbolism of each chakra.
Mantra & Sound Meditation
Chanting bīja mantras and upabīja mantras to activate vibrational resonance.
Chakra Sādhana
Gentle and safe methods to heal and elevate inner energy.
Breath & Prāṇa Flow
Techniques to balance the flow of energy through the nāḍīs.
Visualization & Color Meditation
Engaging gold and blood-red hues alternately from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra as per Shiva Samhita Chapter 5.
The Path of Transformation
Through consistent practice, Chakra Meditation refines the mind, purifies the emotions, and harmonizes the body’s energy system. The Shiva Samhita reveals that when prāṇa flows unobstructed through the chakras, one experiences:
- Mental clarity and inner calm
- Enhanced vitality and focus
- Emotional balance and creative expression
- Spiritual illumination and self-realization
The Essence
The Shiva Samhita teaches that “the human body is a universe in itself”.
By diving inward, the seeker encounters the sacred fire of Kuṇḍalinī, the eternal spark of divine consciousness residing at the base of the spine.
When this energy rises — guided by devotion, discipline, and awareness — it merges into the thousand-petalled lotus of the Sahasrāra, symbolizing union with the Supreme Consciousness.
Join us for this sacred journey inward —
to listen, feel, and awaken the divine vibration that resides within you.
Through the teachings of the Shiva Samhita, discover how meditation becomes not just a practice —
but a revelation of your highest potential.
Workshop Structure and Activities
This Chakra Meditation Workshop, inspired by the sacred teachings of the Shiva Samhita, unfolds as a holistic journey combining theory, practice, sound, and silence. Each activity is designed to harmonize the physical body, awaken subtle energy centers, and lead the participant toward deep inner stillness.
The workshop begins with an insightful exposition on the seven primary chakras as described in the Shiva Samhita.
Participants will explore:
- The location, symbolism, and energetic attributes of each chakra.
- The mantras, colors, and psychological qualities associated with every energy center. Through verses and commentaries, the facilitator unveils how each chakra serves as a doorway to higher states of consciousness — mapping the journey from the Mūlādhāra (root of existence) to the Sahasrāra (crown of illumination).
The participants are guided through specific āsanas that stabilize the body and prepare it for meditative stillness.
A series of foundational prāṇāyāmas, derived from the Shiva Samhita’s teachings, are introduced to refine the flow of prāṇa through the nāḍīs.
These breathing practices help anchor awareness, expand lung capacity, and awaken the subtle movement of energy along the spinal axis — the path of Kuṇḍalinī.
Silence is the bridge between sound and self-awareness.
Participants are invited to enter periods of observant silence, allowing the effects of meditation to settle inward.
In this stillness, one learns to listen — not to the world outside, but to the quiet rhythm of breath, the pulse of energy, and the whisper of the soul.
The core of the workshop centers around a guided meditative ascent through the chakras, from root to crown.
Participants visualize:
- The color, form, and qualities of each chakra, as revealed in Shiva Samhita Chapter 5.
- The resonant bīja (seed) mantras — “LAM” (Mūlādhāra), “VAM” (Svādhiṣṭhāna), “RAM” (Maṇipūra), “YAM” (Anāhata), “HAM” (Viśuddha), “OM” (Ājñā), and silent vibration at Sahasrāra.
This meditative progression uses gold and blood-red visualization alternately from base to crown, symbolizing vitality and transcendence.
Each session integrates sacred sound practices to deepen energetic attunement:
- Chanting of seed syllables (bīja mantras) and sub-seed syllables (upabīja mantras) to harmonize the chakras.
- Kharaj Sādhana — development of deep vocal resonance to purify the nāda, the inner sound current.
- Omkar Sādhana at 136.1 Hz frequency — a meditative alignment with the earth’s fundamental vibration, invoking stability and serenity.
Through rhythmic breath and sound, the practitioner’s mind synchronizes with the vibrational essence of each energy center, opening pathways for profound healing and awareness.
In this sacred practice, participants internalize mantras by mentally installing divine vibrations at different points of the body.
This powerful meditative ritual aids in deep physical, emotional, and psychic healing, aligning the microcosmic body with the cosmic field of energy.
It cultivates a sense of wholeness — where body, breath, and consciousness exist in luminous harmony.
After meditation, participants are gently guided into reflective silence and open sharing.
This space allows for the articulation of inner experiences — sensations of light, emotion, vibration, or release — fostering collective insight and empathy.
Through shared dialogue, participants recognize the universality of the inner journey and the sacred connection among seekers.
Expected Outcomes and Benefits
By the conclusion of the workshop, participants can expect to experience a renewed sense of harmony and vitality. The practices collectively aim to bring about:
