The seven steps to the highest state, param padam, starts with the mula adhara, the basis of existence. The seat is the place of this chakra. Here the principle is water, jal tattva.The basal plexus is the normal consciousness of the jiva. Much of it is instinctive as in animals. However, the normal awareness is just sufficient for a the survival of the jiva, and nothing more. The jiva has to strive to attain fulfilment by expanding its consciousness and can reach up to brahmn. After the mula adhara comes the sva adhishthana and the mani pura prajnya levels.
The second level is sva adhishthana. This is the state of one's normal existence. It is the second chakra and the principle here food (earth/prithvi tattva). This is located below the navel, nabhi, at the womb. This is considered as the Second seat of the Mother and supports creation, birth. Once the jiva is born, the entire life is devoted to survival, search for food, and rest.
The bijakshara mantra of svadhishthana chakra dhyana is 'vam'. One can conquer this level and rise to the next level of manipura chakra by taking recourse to mantra japa, dhyana, pranayama. This will take six months and one has to devote 40 mins. everyday at a stipulated place and time and inhale of 'Om' and exhale with sound of 'vam'. Once th person gains control over this, siddhi is attained, he /she will not be dependent on food and drinks. This is why the wise men say, "Man does not live by bread alone!" This gives longer life than the stipulated 80 or 100 years! At this stage, the person will have more energy to concentrate on higher aspects of life and normally loses interest in mundane life.
Next level is manipura chakra. Here 'mani pura' means teh Palace decorated with precious stones, pearls, and other shining material and Lights! This is where the Queen Raja Rajeshwari, who governs the cosmic entity, rests! This is the seat of Fire, agni tattva! The bjiakshara of the mantra japa is 'ram'. This is the third level and has to be transcended by a severe practice of chakra Dhyana. This may take six months with a constant practice of yoga- inhale 'Om' and exhale 'ram', at least for 40 mins. twice a day at a stipulated place and time. This will give siddhi control over fire principle, agni tattva. Once the adept gains control over the three gross elements- water, soil, and fire, there is no need for dependence on food and water. The person will be getting ashta siddhi and may be able to walk on water and fire! But these siddhi or attainments should not be used for display or making money out of it! This will destroy the person.
The first three principle govern life in the day-to-day life- jagrata (awake), svapna (dream), and sushupti (deep sleep) levels. These are the three levels of prajnya- vaishvanara, taijasa, and Prajnya. This is how a jiva struggles through out life! There is no mukti, or liberation for the jiva.
