Chakra Workout: Balancing Your Energy with Yoga and MeditationSterling Publishing Company, 2007 - 160 páginas Subtle energies course through our bodies like an electric circuit--and the areas where the energy concentrates are our chakras. Each chakra opens the door to a different stage of development, and with this complete practical workout you can influence them all, and raise your consciousness to the next level. Using breathing techniques, yoga postures, meditation, and massage, embark on an exploration not only of the seven main chakras but the 21 minor ones, too. You'll learn each one's location, purpose, color, element, symbol, age, mantra, and effect--depending on whether it's blocked or flowing freely. Work on them either one by one or as a total system. Exquisite photos and drawings throughout the guide illustrate the postures, techniques, and concepts. |
