Palate - Lalana - Talu Chakra

Nov 30, 2020
Lalana (Soft Palate Chakra)

Other Names: talumula, talu, talana, kala chakra
Location: resides between the bindu chakra and the vishuddhi
chakra, just above the soft palate of the mouth
Mudra: Nabho Mudra and Khecari Mudra
Form: Lalana has 12 red or white petals that correspond to the
virtues of respect, contentment, offense, self-control, pride,
affection, sorrow, depression, purity, dissatisfaction, honor and
anxiety.
CHARACTERISTICS
Lalana chakra or talu chakra is an obscure psychic center
closely associated with the vishuddhi chakra. When
the amrita (nectar of life, similar to prana) drips down from
the bindu chakra, it is held first in the lalana where it is regulated
before it finds its way down to the vishuddhi.
Some texts suggest that from Lalana, the amrita either goes down
to Manipuraka into the jathara agni (digestive fire) where it is
burned down, or amrita goes to the Vishuddhi chakra where it is
purified into the nectar of immortality.
Lalana chakra is both a receiver of astral consciousness, as well

as the main conduit in our communications with astral entities.
LALANA CHAKRA AND VISHUDDHI CHAKRA

Lalana is the 'fork on the road' because it is where
the amrita coming from bindu divides into either good or bad
experiences in life. When vishuddhi chakra and lalana chakra are
not awakened, life tends to be painful - the nectar becomes
poison or dark energy. But when these 2 chakras are awakened,
then the nectar remains in the form of bliss. Life becomes a
source of joyful experiences. Such is the importance of
the vishuddhi-lalana chakras.
Khechari Mudra
Khechari is an extreme mudra where the practitioner gradually
cuts the frenulum of the tongue and pulls it out with a tong to
elongate it. Over time, the tongue will be longer and not be too
attached to the base of the mouth. The purpose is to get the
tongue to roll back beyond the soft palate and into the nostril
cavity, going up. This process awakens the lalana chakra and
activates amrita flow. Though it is a physical technique it induces
more subtle changes on a psychic level.
Nabho Mudra
Nabho, though not as powerful as khecari mudra, is also designed
to activate the amrita flow. The practioner simply rolls his tongue
up and presses the tip of the tongue against the soft palate - this
activates lalana and triggers amrita flow.
Lalana Chakra resides on the roof of the mouth just above the soft palate
PRANAYAMA-MEDITATION PRACTICE TO AWAKEN LALANA

CHAKRA (AMRIT PAN METHOD)
1. sit in a comfortable asana - padmasana (full lotus), ardha

padmasana (half lotus), siddhasana, vajrasana, with straight
back and upright head
2. keep the eyes closed
3. do nabho mudra, pressing the tip of the tongue against the
soft palate - firmly but not forcefully
4. exhale to empty the lungs completely
5. concentrate on the manipuraka (navel chakra)
6. inhale with ujjayi breath (long slow deep steady breathing
while constricting the throat to 'funnel' the air through) and
visualize that the power of the breath is pushing
the amrita fluid up the spine from the manipuraka chakra,
passing through anahata, then to vishuddhi. The in-breath
should finish here. Hold the breath
7. do maha bandha mudra (squeeze the mula bandha, then
squeeze the uddiyana bandha and then the jalandhara
bandha with straight back)
8. this time, concentrate on the amrita become ice cold in
the vishuddhi chakra while holding the breath and
performing the maha bandha mudra
9. on the ujjayi exhale, feel the cool nectar flowing up along the
nectar passage from vishuddhi to the lalana chakra.
Exhalation should finish at the lalana chakra
10. feel the breath and nectar disperse and evaporate at
the lalana
11. immediately, focus awareness back to the manipura
chakra and repeat the process 9x
ENDING THOUGHTS
Lalana's crucial role is regulating ambrosia, another name for
the amrita or nectar of life. Additionally, since there is a physical
mudra (nabho mudra and khecari) that directly works on it (unlike
svadisthana or manipuraka), developing Lalana seems more
accessible in activating amrita flow. Whenever I do my maha
bandha mudra where the tongue is free, I always include
the nabho mudra. Or I just might meditate with the nabho mudra
engaged. Lately, there has been a surge of vitality in me...not
unlike that of an 18-year old flushed with hormonal outburst. I'm
doing many things in my practice so I can't say it's a direct result
of amrita flow, but I wouldn't be surprised.
Everywhere you look, you’ll probably see a seven-level chakra system.
However, as you’re about to experience in this level, we’re going deeper
beyond the traditional chakra system. In our utilization of the sixth level of
the Sri Yantra and the minor, yet powerful, Chakra called a Talu Chakra,
this is the last energy or bridge before you actually start to project. The
Talu Chakra, commonly known as the Palate Chakra, is a small energy
center located in your brain stem. Specifically, it’s located between the
central spinal canal in the medulla oblongata, within the chitrini nadis
behind the uvula. If you remember, nadis are the energy channels that
your prana flows through. Located at the base of your cerebral cortex, this
chakra protects your entire body, and all of your glands an endocrine
system. This Talu Chakra also ties into the third chakra. This chakra is the
brain part of your body, which protects your third chakra. It basically
makes sure that your body is processing the food you intake, and is
responsible for secreting certain fluids into your body to protect you, and
to make sure that your solar plexus is doing its job. As I mentioned before,
this is kind of your gateways to bridge. It’s almost like if you look at the
seven-chakra system, there’s level five, or chakra five, which is your
throat. Level six is actually your third eye. The Sri Yantra, they put specific
interest to separate those two. It’s almost like a 5.5, but inside the Sri
Yantra it’s actually level six, or the sixth chakra. As you’ll learn in this level
later on, it’s actually very powerful when you use it with Om. Going back
to the third chakra in the Solar Plexus, and how this chakra controls that
and protects it … Did you know that a majority of diseases start in your
gut? The fact is about 85 percent of your immune system is located within
your gut and your digestive tract. Your brain and your gut are connected
via the vagus nerve, the tenth cranial nerve that runs from your brain
stem down to your abdomen. That’s why you can feel butterflies when
you’re nervous, and just as easily calm those butterflies and other
disruptions down through the power of your brain. The trigger point of
this chakra is the root of your palate, and at the back of your mouth. The
Talu Chakra is often regarded as the Secret Chakra, so there’s little
concrete knowledge on it. However, it’s said to be the home of emotional
circuitry, which governs your wellness. Even more importantly, it’s also
said to lay at the edge of enlightenment, which is pretty cool. An effective
way to activate your Talu Chakra is to run Kundalini energy through it, and
also to use that tongue exercise that we talked about earlier. To do this,
re-visit your project work from level three through the spiral breathing
exercise, and draw the Kundalini energy up through your body. As we’ve
talked about in level two as well, we draw the energy from level one, to
level two, to level three, to level four, to level five, and now we’re pushing
it into level six. From the earth through your Root Chakra into your second
chakra where you are creating from your *** energy, it continues to flow
through your Solar Plexus where your inner powers and gut instincts lie.
Then, it moves up to your heart, where it radiates that unconditional love.
Then, it reaches your throat chakra, where you’re able to communicate
and create that vibration of truth. Then, it reaches this point of your Talu,
or palate, Chakra. This continued flow and transmutation of energy from
the earth, within yourself, and through your Talu Chakra, will give you the
power to access all the protections you need to proceed, and ultimately
boost, your projection powers. Take a moment, right now, to do the
project work from level three. Focus your Kundalini energy and flow it
through your Talu Chakra to activate it and open up. Don’t forget to let it
flow beyond, beyond the Talu Chakra, and just let it go through your head.
Doing this exercise now will prime your entire body, and mind, to draw
the specific protections you need, that you will be clearly defining in the
real-life section of this level.
