Modern Nagualism-What Happens After Death?

[Uncle Sam]

The position of the body at death is believed to be very important in affecting the transference of prana or life-force from the body. The posture may affect through which chakra the prana will exit the body and thereby, in which of the six realms rebirth will occur. Masters prefer to die in the lotus posture. This is believed to aid them in transferring their prana through the crown chakra helping them to be reborn in the higher realms.
