Moolabandha is root chakra. Moolabandha is root lock.
A good yoga for the modern West is Root Yoga. Moolabandha Yoga.
What is this way?
The Root Yoga is the yoga of compost and fertility. Root Yoga is the Yoga of expulsion. Western culture is the culture of consumption. Spiritual practice is then the practice of expulsion.
Take better poops. Enjoy your pees. Always be practicing Moola Bandha. Cultivate Vajroli, and Sahajoli. Appreciate decay as the root of all life. The physical act of taking care of one's business, if practiced with concentrated mindfulness, is mere symbolic metaphor for the emotional content of the root chakra. The physical passing of yesterday's contents is symbolic. Health, then, can be determined from the inside out, as it were.
A great yogic movement is underway to ban the western toilet, which has removed the squat from public milieu, to the great tragedy of society. Indeed it is even possible if not outright likely that the absence of squatting from the public sphere in the West is the determining factor in the sexual neurosis and militant armoring of western society. Squatting opens our hips, and opening our hips opens our minds.
So I sit on street corners in affluent, meditating suburbs of bougeois America, holding a sign which reads,
"Throw out your toilet"
and this has made me rather famous, as a Yogi. In reintroducing squatting to the conversation of public health I am demonstrating my mahasiddhi of getting everyone everywhere to practice yoga all the time.
Root Yoga has two facets:
Throw out your toilet
and,
Be Discreet.
This means:
Be mindful of your symbolic expulsions of your past self, as your very own past self decays and putrifies before your own eyes-
but for God's sake keep it to yourself. Cover it with compost, and hide it from the world forever. Let the Dark Mother eat it and make something new out of it.
Keep that shit to yourself my friend. Take some responsibility for your shit please.
Be mindful, and be discreet. Take better shits my friends, but keep those shits to yourselves, please. Nobody wants to know about it.
ps. the penitentiary systems of the future will be maximum-security, monastic, sewage treatment plants. Right?
