According
to the ancient yogic system that describes
the movement of life force, there are 7
energy centers in the body, known as the
chakras or "wheels." These are maps for
exploring the energy body or pranamaya
kosha. From crown to root, the chakras
describe the cosmic journey of spirit
materializing; and, in the other
direction, like the angels on Jacob's
Ladder, they chart the journey back from
matter to spirit.
When the
natural human instincts for survival,
sensation and power (the lower chakras)
are in balance--neither restrained nor
excessive--then the heart center opens
with compassion and detachment leading to
the development of authenticity, wisdom
and spiritual evolution.
Learning
the psychosomatic, psychoenergetic, and
psychospiritual characteristics of each
energy center can help us recognize and
release karmic blocks and habitual
patterns, healing and inspiring us to
create our lives with infinite potential.

kindness while you explore with
awareness the unique makeup of your
body-mind-spirit.
