The Tantric Method of Opening Sushumna

A main goal of tantra and of hatha yoga is to bring ida and pingala, two main energy channels, into a state of balance, or sushumna. The best way to awaken sushumna is through the practice of prana dharana, or energy concentration, at the ajna chakra (eyebrow center). The more prana is awakened at this chakra, the more accessible sushumna becomes.
