Chaitanya Kendra Preksha
Chaitanya Kendra Preksha is also practised as an alternate third step of Prekshadhyan. It is the process of awakening wherein the dormant psychic centres are made active by perception.
This technique involves concentrating the conscious mind on each psychic centre and experiencing the subtle vibrations of vital energy taking place there. Deep concentration with complete awareness is required. Just perceive, comprehend and experience as an observer.

Concentrate on each and every centre and feel the vibrations of vital energy taking place there. [For trainer: Suggest the following once or twice]
