[ SĀDHANA SEQUENCE / MIRROR METHOD ]

Identity Dissolution

Śrī Yantra → Cakra Dhāraṇā → Trāṭaka

Agni50 min3 stages

Overview

An advanced sequence for deconstructing the fixed sense of self that underlies the most persistent patterns. Śrī Yantra contemplation dissolves the boundary between observer and observed. Cakra Dhāraṇā then maps the identity-constructs anchored at each center. Trāṭaka completes the dissolution by fixing the gaze on emptiness itself — the after-image of a vanishing self.

The Sequence

Each stage builds on the one before. Do not skip ahead — the arc is the sādhana.

Śrī Cakra Contemplation

श्री चक्र — The Great Yantra

20 min

Yantra — Advanced

Begin at the bindu and expand awareness outward through the nine triangles. The yantra is a map of emanation — follow it in reverse, back to the source.

Cakra Dhāraṇā

चक्र धारणा — Concentration on the Centers

15 min

Dhāraṇā — Intermediate

This time, descend from ājñā to mūlādhāra. At each center, ask: "Who is the one observing this?" — the answer dissolves as you ask it.

Trāṭaka

त्राटक — Steady Gazing

15 min

Dhāraṇā — Intermediate

Gaze until the object and the gazer become indistinguishable. In the after-image, there is no self looking — only looking itself.
