Arhatic Yoga: 5 Ways to Unlock Spiritual Awareness
A deeply spiritual practice, Arhatic yoga is a fusion of various meditation and breathing techniques that provide a step-by-step path to achieve sainthood.
Through Arhatic Yoga, the practitioner becomes one who proactively satisfies all conditions of perfection in order to reach levels of enlightenment. It is through living in this accord that one will be able to attain ultimate, absolute and complete freedom from fear, joy and suffering.
Introduction:
This particular form of yoga is based on the ancient spiritual teachings of India; however, these practices are compatible with all religious beliefs – or no religion at all. In fact, the only requirements for undertaking Arhatic yoga would be having a desire to attain absolute spiritual awareness.
The term "Arhatic" is derived from the word "Arhat," which means saint in Sanskrit, and can be found in Buddhism. The qualities of an Arhat are quite similar to those who embrace arhatic yoga: they have demonstrated an ability to live with maximum spiritual awareness.
Like the arhat, an individual who has reached mastery through the study of yoga can attain perfection in both mind and body. Through practicing various asanas, including Surya Namaskara (sun salutation), Ashtanga Yoga and Raja Yoga, one will be better able to achieve complete control over their mind and body.
There are 8 total levels that you can "achieve" in your Arhatic Yoga journey, weach one being determined by your progress.
Arhatic Yoga is a path that aims to transcend human limits. Taking techniques from ancient practices, this yoga is critical in helping to purify and heal your chakras while increasing mental, emotional, and spiritual awareness.
In order to truly appreciate legitimate Arhatic Yoga, one must adopt a holistic approach to life and assess the development of each individual chakra.
In this blog post, I will share 5 different examples on how Arhatic Yoga can completely and fully change your life, for the better.
Arhatic Yoga Benefit #1: Purified Aura
Negative thoughts and emotions are hindrances to success.
You don't need to be spiritually inclined to agree with that; you simply need to have experienced life, to know that negativity is a key blocker to momentum.
Negative thoughts and emotions from others or memories of the past can be detrimental to your aura. You may begin to attracts negative incidents, lure fear into yourself, and develop low self-esteem.
Arhatic Yoga helps solve this, with techniques designed specifically to help cleanse and purify your aura, ridding it of any negative vibes.
With reduced negativity, you'll notice that you suddenly have:
- Increased clarity in achieving short and long term goals
- More confidence to express yourself
- A greater sense of happiness and fulfillment, whether in work or play
- Increased self-discipline to implement positive change
- Heightened intuition for making better decisions
Once you have started to experience what a positive-only life feels like, your next step is to leverage the Arhatic Yoga techniques to remove the very core from which the negativity stems -- completely cleansing your soul.
Any budding negative emotions, suppressed trauma, forever-held grudges... it's time to let them all go.
Arhatic Yoga Benefit #2: Develop, Purify and Grow Your Chakras
Every single ritual of Arhatic Yoga is designed to help purify and heal your chakras.
According to Hindu cosmology, there are 7 different major chakras that exist within the human body – each one representing a different aspect or quality of life.
Once these chakras have been cleansed and purified, it is said that you will begin to experience:
- A sense of inner peace
- The ability to better cope with emotional stressors
- More creative energy to pursue your passions and goals
- Ability to openly be happy for those around you who are doing well
- Increased self-confidence in yourself and your abilities
- Happiness within relationships with friends, family members and co-workers
- In order to fully enjoy these benefits it is important that you regularly practice certain asanas.
The first step to purifying your chakras is to clear the mind and prepare it for dedication.
In order to do so, there are a few simple exercises that you can perform at any time or place:
- Meditation Practice: Eliminate all distractions from your external environment (noises, lights, people), then close your eyes and breathe in through your nose, hold for a few seconds and exhale through the mouth. Repeat until you are able to clear your mind of all thoughts
- Pranayama (breathing exercise): Breathe out once more than you breathe in, until there is a sense of calmness within yourself. Again, repeat this process until your mind is cleared of all extraneous thoughts
By breathing deeply, you will be able to clear away negative thoughts. This will help direct your focus towards pursuing the positive changes that you want in life.
In addition to purifying your chakras and its natural benefits, Arhatic Yoga also helps in growing the actual ("physical") size of your chakras, which in turn, grows the size of your aura.
Arhatic Yoga Benefit #3: Attain Mental Clarity
With greater mental clarity, you will be able to stay focused in your goals and desires.
Like any discipline that requires focus in the mind (such as meditation, yoga etc.) you need to learn how to direct this focus towards the desired results that you wish for yourself.
Arhatic Yoga helps you do just that by:
- Helping you stay focused on the present moment
- Helping you avoid distractions that may arise in your external environment
- Teaching you how to control emotions, thereby eliminating those disruptive inner conversations which bind us from focusing clearly and deeply on our desired goals.
- Resisting those impulses or urges that make us lose focus of what we are experiencing each day
If you achieve a state of prolonged awareness, you're practicing "Dhyana", which stems from the Sanskrit word, "Dharana." It is only after you achieve this state of Dhyana, do you then start to unlock the possibility of illumination and true self-awareness.
Arhatic Yoga is a way of life. It is not just doing meditation.

Awareness is achieved when you are invested in everything that's happening around you and inside of you.
Arhatic Yoga Benefit #4: Awaken Your Kundalini
A Kundalini is a serpent-like spiritual energy that lies dormant at the base of your spine. It's said to have seven different heads, each representing one of the seven chakras in Hindu cosmology.
If you're lucky, it will awaken naturally as we progress through life... but if not, it's possible for someone else to unlock this power by meditating on it or by chanting mantras. Once awakened, Kundalini can lead us towards enlightenment and cosmic consciousness.
And Arhatic Yoga is one key to unlocking and awakening your Kundalini.
The goal with Arhatic Yoga is to help people become more aware and enlightened about their own spirituality.
By awakening the Kundalini - which represents our personal power - we are able to experience greater levels of self-awareness and control over our own thoughts.
Arhatic Yoga is a complete system for spiritual development including both physical and spiritual exercises (or asanas).
There are several spiritual or yogic systems of activating the chakras and awakening the kundalini. Arhatic Meditation is one of the systems that systematically, safely and rapidly activates the chakras and awakens the kundalini.

Once you have experienced the joys of your Kundalini, there is no going back. The burst of energy is something that is hard to find in other aspects of life, and transcends you into a positive stratosphere.
You are more intuitive, your brain is working faster, you find yourself making quicker (and smarter) decisions - everything just clicks.
Arhatic Yoga Benefit #5: Experience Greater Happiness
Practicing Arhatic Yoga can lead to a greater sense of happiness.
Arhatic Yoga begins with your present moment - in that very instance, you'll be able to start experiencing the joy that is all around us.
- Being present brings you joy and happiness
- You are energized with an inner peace to help you tackle the obstacles in your life.
- It helps you focus on what matters most (The now)
You'll find yourself in a state of gratitude - grateful for the moment you're living right now, and how far you've progressed from where you started. You will experience joy that has been locked within you, simply because through Arhatic Yoga, your chakras have been opened (through releasing pent up emotions).
The more you open yourself up to your own potential, the happier you are and will be - as this is when we truly start feeling alive.
You'll wonder how you ever lived without it.
“My life was empty, meaningless… until I discovered how to awaken my spiritual energy through Arhatic Yoga."
More soul energy in this case will improve our control of our various bodies, ensuring they work together properly to progress the evolution of the soul.
