Chakra Jagaraṇa MahaMeru Nyasa System for Activating the 114 Chakras – Sri Amit Ray Tradition

The Chakra Jāgaraṇa MahaMeru Nyāsa System (चक्र जागरण महामेरु न्यास प्रणाली), was developed by great spiritual master Sri Amit Ray, is an advanced, transformative practice that integrates ancient yogic wisdom with modern neuroscience to awaken the 114 chakras (7 basic, 21 grounding, 33 healing, 16 memory/concentration/intelligence, 16 leadership energy centers, and 21 higher spiritual,) while rejuvenating the spine, referred to as Merudanda (मेरुदण्ड), the “central mountain” of the body.

In the Ray tradition of Sri Amit Ray, consciousness is mapped into 114 chakras—an expanded framework beyond the well-known 7. These 114 chakras represent refined nodal points of consciousness-energy intersections, distributed across the physical, subtle, and causal layers.

The Ray Chakra Jāgaraṇa MahaMeru Nyāsa System expands this principle into a three-dimensional Meru geometry of consciousness, where the chakras are not just vertically aligned but unfold as a multidimensional mandala—like the MahaMeru (Great Cosmic Mountain).

By addressing both the physical spine and the subtle chakra system, this practice counters the “spinal death syndrome” prevalent in modern lifestyles, promoting longevity and holistic well-being.

Nyāsa (न्यास), meaning “to place” or “to project,” is a traditional yogic ritual where practitioners touch specific body parts while mentally placing a mantra or divine quality onto them, consecrating the body as a vessel for divine energy. In this dynamic nyāsa, the practice extends beyond mental placement to actively engage physical and verbal actions. Through rhythmic mantra tapping and counting, practitioners place conscious awareness onto each of the 114 chakras, creating a tangible bridge between the physical and energetic selves.

‘This system is a dynamic practice, not static:

MahaMeru Nyasa System Overview

114 Chakras / Energy Nodes are activated through:

• Dynamic Nyāsa (12 × 9 Clusters = 108 Chakra Nodes)
• Master Integration Nyāsa (6 Clusters = 6 Chaka Nodes)

MahaMeru as Cosmic Blueprint: Represents the holographic structure of consciousness where all 114 chakras are interconnected.

The MahaMeru Nyasa system activates many vital subtle energy channels (nadis) like Medha Nadis, Urja Nadis, Sanjivani Nadis, and the Sruti Nadis. Nadis are the conduits for prana, nourishing our entire being. In Ray’s 114 chakra system, disruptions in these channels trap negative emotions, creating imbalances that ripple into daily life—perhaps as persistent anxiety or unresolved grief. The key to healing? Purification and unblocking through targeted practices.

Practice Dimensions:

The primary kriyas (practices) are:

• Śarīra-Kriyā → Rhythmic cross-lateral movements.
• Vāk-Kriyā → Cognitive–verbal tasks (counting/mantra).
• Citta-Kriyā → Directed awareness at node-clusters.
• Dhyāna-Kriyā → Meditative absorption into Īśvara.

Core Practices:

This core practice involves moving awareness sequentially through body regions, representing the 114 energy centers. Focus on sensation, warmth, or light at each area without forcing. Breathe steadily, inhaling to draw energy in and exhaling to release blockages. Move dynamically by visualizing energy flowing upward like a wave, connecting points in a continuous stream rather than static holds. Spend 1-2 minutes per group, or longer for deeper practice.

Duration

This dynamic nyāsa addresses the modern posture crisis—where daily spinal compression (approximately 2 mm per day due to gravity, prolonged sitting, and poor posture) leads to chronic pain, reduced vitality, and shortened lifespan—by combining spinal decompression techniques, Merudanda Mudra, breath synchrony, and transcendental meditation. The practice fosters neuroplasticity, enhances brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and promotes energetic coherence, offering a holistic path to physical vitality, mental clarity, and spiritual awakening in a daily ritual of 7-12 minutes, extendable to 20-25 minutes for deeper effects. In an upright position, the pressure on the body is evenly distributed across the joint surfaces [1].

MahaMeru Kriya

The system is rooted in the yogic concept of Merudanda as the central axis of life force (prana), aligning with scientific findings on spinal health as the foundation for nervous system function, organ health, and longevity. Unlike traditional practices focusing solely on the seven major chakras, this nyāsa activates a comprehensive network of 114 energy nodes, ensuring thorough energetic balance. It employs a dynamic form of nyāsa (न्यास), meaning “to place,” where conscious awareness, physical tapping, mudras, and affirmations are projected onto the spine and chakras, consecrating the body as a vessel for divine energy. The practice is further enhanced by kriyā (क्रिया), purposeful actions that integrate movement, breath, and focus to reverse spinal compression and awaken the subtle body. Here,

• Jāgaraṇa (Awakening) implies that chakras are activated beyond their latent potential, becoming radiant fields of intelligence and will (icchā-śakti), knowledge (jñāna-śakti), and action (kriyā-śakti).
• MahaMeru symbolizes the ultimate integrative axis where body, mind, cosmos, and transcendence converge.
• The system integrate cosmic (macro) and neuronal-cellular (micro) dimensions, bridging subtle anatomy with modern neuroscience (neurocircuits, microtubule dynamics, vagal pathways).

• Removes the blockages of many Nadis. For example, the Shruti Nadi, linked to the Soma and Tatpurush Chakras, attunes us to divine sounds and cosmic vibrations, harmonizing lunar (cooling) and solar (energizing) energies. Its purification enhances receptivity, aiding emotional clarity by dissolving stored traum

Significance and Modern Relevance

The MahaMeru Nyāsa System addresses the modern posture crisis, where prolonged sitting (11 hours daily on average) leads to spinal compression, chronic pain, and reduced vitality. Drawing from ancient yogic traditions that revere Merudanda as the pathway of life force, and supported by NASA research on spinal decompression in zero gravity, the practice offers a practical solution to reverse spinal aging. It promotes left-right hemispheric harmony, front-back chakra integration (e.g., Anāhata and spinal nodes), and top-bottom healing energy balance (from Mūlādhāra to Sahasrāra), fostering physical, mental, and spiritual coherence. The system is accessible, requiring no equipment, and can be practiced anywhere, making it ideal for daily integration.

Conclusion:

Each placement is not symbolic but an actual activation of bio-psycho-spiritual nodes. Here, the movements, mantra, visualization, and meditative absorption function together, unlike static or purely symbolic systems. By integrating ancient wisdom with modern science, this practice empowers individuals to combat spinal decline and achieve profound energetic alignment.
