CHAKRA DHYANA

 CHAKRA DHYANA

Chakras are energy centres in the pranic body or the energy body. The human organism comprises not merely the gross physical body but several other sheaths like the mind, karma, wisdom and bliss. The latent spiritual energy, known as Kundalini flows through these chakras and nadis, thereby making them vidrant. The flow of energy in this sheath affects all the other sheaths thereby resulting in a healthy body and mind, the results of which is bliss and peace.

These chakras and nadis get defiled due to wrong lifestyles and eating habits and also due to the burden of erroneous preceptions and negative karma. This disturbance affects an individual physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Negative thought patterns create negative situations in life.

Chakra Dhayana has three steps to it. Concentrating on the mystical diagrams of the chakras, uttering of mystical syllables to activate the chakras and the right seating posture.Placement of the fingers is also important. The ideal placement is to touch the base line of the thumb with the index finger and the ideal asana is Siddhasan. Chanting can be done for seven, nine or eighteen time.
