Seekers often ask why they sleep during meditation and then wake up. Tiredness, energy at the Ajna chakra and a pattern of the mind explain it, and awareness separates meditation from sleep.

Just above Mooladhara sits the next threshold on the Kundalini ascent. The Swadishthana chakra governs vitality, inner perception and the emotional patterns a seeker carries without realising it, and it is initiated through grace, not through waiting alone.
