Isht Sodhana Chakra Meditation

August 4, 1975

This meditation employs chakra-to-chakra communication and concentration, to coordinate and enhance energy flow through the entire chakra system. The Isht Sodhana Mantra or Dharti Hai Mantra, also known as the Mantra of God Purification, represents the union of the gross (physical) and the etheric (unseen) within your being.
