May 15th - This Summer: Explore the Energy Within You
|
Have you ever noticed how powerful it seems and what it adds to your yoga practice when certain words or images are used in the instruction? Words like "root", "ground", "flow", "create", "power", "empower", "love", "nurture", "truth", "imagine", "connect", and "surrender" are all more than just nice to help create a certain attitude... they each are directly related into your energy system and influence you on a deeper level than simply the mind. How? Through the chakras.
The Chakra system has been referenced since the days of the ancient yogis and refers to the subtle energy that we are each made up of in addition to our physical structures, organs, muscles and bones.
The word Chakra literally means 'wheel' and it is said that while the energy flows throughout the body within channels called nadis, it condenses within 7 primary energy wheels, chakras, located in specific areas throughout the body. Each of these 7 energy centers relate to different qualities and purposes and are both deeply affected by and influential in our experiences day to day.
Each chakra has the possibility of being more or less open, strong and/or weak, and various patterns, personality characteristics, challenges and strengths may point to where in one's energy system there is health or dysfunction. These same factors can lead us toward where we might focus attention within the energy system to support ourselves and our movement toward greater health and well-being.
*And check below for info regarding this year's summer intensive and a special opportunity to explore the chakras yourself. Everyone who signs up this week get's a special gift, too!*
