Book Description
There are many books on chakras, but their focus is usually an attempt to integrate the chakras with modern psychological theories. "A Yogi's Guide to Chakra Meditation" presents chakra meditation as a specific example of the ancient yogic tradition. The most respected text in the yogic tradition was written by the sage Patanjali and is entitled "The Yoga Sutras." Scholars debate its antiquity, but it was written approximately 2000 years ago. Because an overview of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is standard fare in yoga teacher training programs, I have presented chakra meditation as a specific example of Patanjali's more general description of yoga. I hope that a description of chakra meditation through Patanjali's lens will make it easier for yoginis coming to this material for the first time. All yoga teacher training programs include an overview of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, but these sutras are notoriously difficult to understand, and have from ancient times required a commentary to clarify them. For example: Patanjali's descriptions of pranayama are so general as to be useless without commentary. AYGtCM covers this essential topic in clear and complete detail. Patanajali is most famous for his model of spiritual progress called "The Eight Limbs of Yoga." The rest of the Yoga Sutras might remain obscure, but any yogini who has graduated a training program has had to memorize the eight limbs of yoga. AYGtCM brings the eight limbs of yoga to life by illustrating their manifestation in chakra meditation. Many of Patanjali's sutras are referenced throughout the text. In this way, the reader gains insight into Patanjali's entire system of thought, including theories of creation, karma, reincarnation, psychology, and the physical, astral, and causal bodies. The first of the book's four sections describes chakras: their location and function. It elaborates the ideas of Shiva, Shakti, and prana. The second section translates these terms into Patanjali's yogic terms and expands them. The third section outlines in detail Patanjali's eight limbs of yoga as they occur in chakra meditation. The fourth and final section describes meditation itself, outlining specific routines of practice, and describing what a yogini will experience.

Chakradance
Author: Natalie Southgate
Publisher: Hay House Audio Books
ISBN: 1401950930
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Balance your chakras to improve your life, with the powerful 'moving meditation' of Chakradance. If you like the idea of yoga, but not the challenging poses, Chakradance is for you. If you like the idea of meditation, but find it hard to sit still for more than a few minutes, Chakradance is for you. If you know you've got old 'baggage' to release, but find 'talk therapy' too awkward for words, Chakradance is for you. We all want to achieve that wonderful state of 'well-being' in which we feel happier, healthier, more grounded, more balanced, more fully ourselves and more fully alive! With Chakradance, more and more people are finding a way to achieve this. Our chakras are our energy centres (subtle, invisible, but essential to life), that hold mind, body and spirit together. The practice of Chakradance activates, tunes and balances your chakras, to improve your life. Eastern philosophies have long known about the dynamic inter-relationship of mind, body and spirit, and the West, thanks partly to advances in the field of neuro-science, is quickly catching up . . . hence the growth of yoga, of mindfulness, and a whole new world of "well-being" practices. In this book, Chakradance. founder Natalie Southgate explains how this gentle yet powerful 'moving meditation' practice actually works, including examples and stories from her own life and the lives of Chakradancers all over the world. She demonstrates how working with your chakras, using music, movement and mandalas, can help you discover a deeper connection to your true authentic self, leading you to the most wonderful feeling of vibrant well-being. The book also includes links to downloadable chakra-specific music tracks and guided meditations so you can try it for yourself.
