Warning: Do not do these exercises if you have any mental illness or are using drugs.
This completes my series on yoga for the chakras, see the links at the bottom for the other chakras. These will likely be updated over the years as new knowledge arises. Doing these exercises is a great way to help empower each chakra, and can be done before doing the chakra meditation (links provided for each). These definitely work.

6th Chakra
For info and meditation for the 6th chakra: https://www.joyofsatan.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/6th_Chakra_Meditation.html
Yoga kriya for the 6th chakra: Cat-Cow sequence. The following paragraphs are all one sequence, explained.
Start on your hands and knees, hips directly over knees and shoulders directly over wrists. Your feet can be straight back (feet equal distance apart as your knees are), or your big toes can touch, whichever feels the best for your lower back.
If you have weak wrists, make sure to press down into the ground with your thumb and forefinger, this will flex the correct hand and wrist muscles needed. Have your forefinger of each hand pointing straight ahead, not your middle finger. (Use this alignment for all asanas that require stability through the wrists.)
Cat-Cow (here is a video showing Cat-Cow, you don’t need to watch the entire video, just the first 20 seconds). Do a few rounds slowly at first to warm up your back. (If you have a stiff back, do whatever warm-ups you like, such as the Sun Salutations or just any basic warm-up movements before starting this sequence.)
Then move into the cat-cow sequence fluidly, breathing full and quickly. Not long deep breathing, just a fairly full inhale and exhale. It should be one second is one full cat-cow round. Inhale into Cow (head and chest up, stomach down), exhale into Cat (head down, back arched, stomach pulled in towards the spine).
Do this for a set number, perhaps 40 if possible, or more. Those who are newer, 18 is fine; those who are more experienced, go with a power number of your choice. Not a huge deal if you lose count, just do as many as feels good. You can even just time this and go for a minute, for example.
When you have completed, go into Cow pose (head up, stomach down) and complete the following:
-inhale fully,
-apply mula bandha*,
-direct the energy up your spine into your 6th chakra, lighting it up. Maintain focus on this chakra. Hold the inhale for however long is comfortable for you, never strain.
-Release mula bandha and exhale fully,
-apply mula bandha,
-direct the energy up your spine to your 6th chakra, lighting it up. Maintain focus on this chakra. Hold the exhale for however long is comfortable for you, never strain.
The above (the part done while in Cow pose) is one round, do two rounds. There isn’t really any need to do more than two rounds. Now, sit comfortably and do a mantra of your choice for your 6th chakra.
*Mula Bandha, a simple explanation: Contract (squeeze) your anus, sex organ, and navel. Contracting the navel may be difficult in this position, focus mainly on contracting the anus and sex organ (penis for men, vagina for women).

3rd Eye
For info about the 3rd Eye: https://www.joyofsatan.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Third_Eye.html
Yoga kriya for the 3rd Eye:
Sit in Rock pose*, you can be kneeling on your bed, on a pillow on the floor, or folded blanket for comfort, or have a pillow (or folded blanket) between your buttocks and calves/ankles if that is more comfortable, depending on your body type. Get comfortable enough so that your lower body does not cause a distraction.
Interlock your hands (Venus lock, thumbs also crossed), left thumb on top for women, right thumb on top for men. This means that for women, right pinky finger will be on the bottom; for men, left pinky finger will be on bottom.
Extend your arms in front of you, a few inches above your knees, keeping your arms straight. You can have a slight bend in your elbows if needed, if your elbows are weak.
1. On your inhale, raise your arms up (keeping the Venus lock, and arms straight) to a position slightly above your head, still in eyesight.
2. Exhale, bring hands back down to start position (slightly above knees).
Repeat steps 1 and 2, in a fairly quick momentum, 18 times. More is fine for those with more experience, Yogi Bhajan recommended 70 times (this is part of a KY kriya). Not a huge deal if you lose count, just do as many as feels good.
To finish:
-Hold your hands at the top position (slightly above head) still interlocked,
-inhale fully,
-apply mula bandha,
-direct your energy to your 3rd eye, lighting it up. Maintain focus on this chakra. Hold the inhale for whatever is comfortable for you, never strain.
-Exhale, release the bandha, relax the arms.
You can complete this by doing a manta of your choice for your 3rd eye.

Crown
For info about the Crown chakra: https://www.joyofsatan.org/www.angelfire.com/empire/serpentis666/Crown666Chakra.html
Yoga for Crown chakra:
This kriya is ideal for those who can’t do inversions.
Sit in Rock pose (see picture in the section above). Interlace your hands, palms facing out, arms straight (slight bend in elbows if needed). Extend your arms straight up, hands will be directly above your head, palms facing up, fingers intertwined.
Breath of Fire, focusing on your crown chakra. Go for as many repetitions or however long you feel is right for you, Yogi Bhajan recommend doing this for one minute.
To finish:
-Inhale fully,
-apply mula bandha,
-direct your energy to your Crown chakra, lighting it up. Maintain focus on this chakra.
-Exhale, release the bandha, relax your arms.
You can complete this by doing a manta of your choice for your Crown chakra.
Headstand For Crown Chakra, by High Priestess Maxine:
(She posted this about 7 or 8 years ago, I don’t have it to copy-paste but I know the method as I have done it often.)
-Get into a headstand, do Breath of Fire for 54 repetitions.
-After the BoF, inhale fully, vibrate “THTHTHTHTHTH” for a full exhale, while focusing on your crown chakra.
-Get down and relax on the floor, lying on your back, for a few moments.
Repeat this process for a few rounds, I forget how many she specified but I think it was 2 to 3.
You can complete this by doing a manta of your choice for your Crown chakra.
Careful not to stand up immediately after doing a headstand, you might fall over. There are many videos available online for instructions to safely get into a headstand, but do not attempt if you are overweight, or have any neck or spinal concern.
