Now reaching the halfway mark in my Yoga teacher training program. I have chosen Prana Yoga which uses chakra sound vibrations and basic breathing techniques which are practiced during the yoga poses. The sounds associated with the chakras if chanted during a yoga pose are an amazing way to further center both mind, body and spririt. It is being grounded in the present moment, to feel each asana both in a strong and light way at the same time.
When I first started the training I really never “felt” anything when chanting the vowel or bij (seed) sounds associated with each chakra but now I feel them very strongly.
Here is what I know: there are seven main or energy centers (chakras) in the body and I am working on the one associated with the throat. Vishudda which is the chakra of self-expression and for me, asking or communications around what I think and want. Sounds simple but it is not.
Accessing the courage RAM,RAM,RAM! to ask for what I need and want!
Namaste! Om Shanti.
