The Essential Energy System
Chakras are subtle centers in the brain and spine that regulate the phyisical, emotional and psychic flows of energy through the body. The fundamental premise of Hatha Yoga, Tantra Yoga and Taoism is that these energies need to be brought into the yogi's awareness and control if the mind is to be calmed and the authentic Self revealed.
This ground breaking DVD outlines the basic anatomy of this essential energy system and its operations in the physical, astral, and causal bodies. The unique characteristics of each chakra are described in four specific dimensions: physical location, organs thay control, emotions they express, and mental characteristics they embody. These ideas give strong theoretical support and general guidance for those who wonder how and why charkra meditation should be done.
