The Chakra’s continued…

During January 2022 we investigated the Vishuddha and Anja Chakra’s:

Vishuddhi Chakra – meaning to purify, symbolises purity and harmony in the whole of one’s being

This chakra is located near the base of the throat, it is the gateway between the body and the mind. It is often depicted as a blue downward-facing triangle inside a lotus with 16 purple petals. Vishuddha is associated with the element ether, or “space” (akasha), and with speaking one’s truth. Its energetic function is to help us find authentic self-expression.

Anja Chakra - meaning ‘perceive, beyond wisdom, command’

The third-eye chakra is associated with higher knowledge, intuition, and what you might think of as your sixth sense (after touch, taste, smell, sight, sound) - it’s not tangible, it’s a subtle sense that picks up subtle signals around us.

Located in the centre of the head (measure nose to chin, same distance to forehead is where this chakra sits. The energy of this chakra allows us to see and understand the inner and outer worlds. When open, the third eye chakra connects us to the present moment and can deepen spiritual connection as well as provide wisdom and insight.

 It is associated with the pineal gland which regulates biorhythms, including sleep. The pineal gland produces melatonin, which regulates the circadian rhythm, or internal clock that the tells the body when to sleep and wake up.

In February we will continue with investigating the final chakra - Sahasrara - the crown chakra - the spiritual self. Followed by several asana sequences combining the chakras for an inclusive chakra experience.

I look forward to practicing with you

Om Shanti 🙏🏻
