~Chakra Workout~ Balancing The Chakras With Yoga

Author : Mary Horsley
Publisher: GAIA Books

“Subtle energies course through our bodies like an electric circuit—and the areas where the energy concentrates are our chakras. Each chakra opens the door to a different stage of development, and with this complete practical workout you can influence them all, and raise your consciousness to the next level. Using breathing techniques, yoga postures, meditation, and massage, embark on an exploration not only of the seven main chakras but the 21 minor ones, too. You’ll learn each one’s location, purpose, color, element, symbol, age, mantra, and effect—depending on whether it’s blocked or flowing freely. Work on them either one by one or as a total system. Exquisite photos and drawings throughout the guide illustrate the postures, techniques, and concepts.”

Over the years on my spiritual journey I have noticed what a difference yoga and other types of exercise do to my body, but not only to my body, but to my overall sense of well-being  You may not know that we have energy centres that may be balanced or out of balance depending on our history, conditioning and background. Different energy centres (chakras) support our development and reflect what is going on for us in our mind, body and spirit.

For example some of the chakras are fairly obvious in that the heart chakra reflects out ability to give and receive. If it is out of balance we may feel resistant in this area.

This book enables you to work with the body to bring balance to your mind, body and spirit, and also teaches you about chakras, how to work with meditation, massage and different yoga postures to bring yourself back into balance. It explains the chakras clearly and goes through the names of chakras and their meaning in English and what they do. It then takes you through yoga postures that go well with each chakra. It also goes into the minor chakras. A very thorough understanding of the chakras.

    Chakra healing is one of the few self healing techniques I've tried that truly does give lasting benefits. It always brings relief in a number of ways. The biggest release it gives me is to help my body and soul migrate back from the points of imbalance that are created by every day stresses and illness

    Wonderful that is so good to hear. Good luck with the give-away!

    As a Libra I am always uncomfortable when my balance is out and I think this book may help me re-align myself emotionally, physically and mentally 🙂

    We had a very stressful time in the early part of this year and I feel I need something to help me get back to feeling that things (including me!) are balanced.

    I meditate on Charka Cleansing, it's helped my depression and insomnia. When I suggest meditation to friends who are suffering, they look at me as if i am mad. A book which would help me, might persuade others to give it a go too.

  24. November 10, 2013 / 11:20 pm

    open my mind to new ways of relaxing after a stressful day

  25. November 12, 2013 / 4:27 pm

    I've been interested in getting into yoga, spiritual healing and learning more about Charkas for a while so I'd love to win this to give me the push and help me learn. I have Crohns disease and recently I've researched that yoga and meditation can really help the painful symptoms, as well as help with emotional struggles so I really want to give it a try x

  27. November 16, 2013 / 3:12 am

    I stopped my daily yoga practice 6 months ago after badly injuring my back (unrelated to yoga!) and being too scared to start again. I need this book to help me re-balance my mental and emotional chakras and help me control my fear of injury so I can start to enjoy the benefits of regular yoga again

  28. November 16, 2013 / 8:11 pm

    I have always wanted to try yoga as I would like to improve my flexibility in body and mind

  29. November 16, 2013 / 10:27 pm

    balancing chakras will improve my energy and concentration,
    rid many ills at their source of causation
    yoga as a source of relaxation,

    just as good for me as a mini vacation

  30. November 17, 2013 / 12:46 am

    I wanted something like this, I recently went to the Yoga + Body, Soul & Mind show in Kensington Olympia and found all this very interesting. I started Yoga 2 months ago, I love it!!

    I've been going through a tough time lately (with my health and loosing loved ones) and my chakra's are seriously out of whack! I work with my chakra's a lot (using crystal healing) and I have recently discovered yoga (I can't believe I didn't start doing it sooner!), so this book is right up my street! I'm sure it would help me feel happier, healthier and more balanced! 🙂 x

  40. November 17, 2013 / 9:19 pm

    it intrigues me, and I am pregnant and in a lot of pain, I want to find another way to be more holistic

  49. November 18, 2013 / 2:31 pm

    I just think every part of our bodies is connected – energy is our fuel and it would be wonderful to be at my prime – as a first time mom I feel my energy levels are low, and I would love this so I'm at my best for my son

  50. November 18, 2013 / 2:59 pm

    I'm at a low ebb at the moment and need to find a resolution. This sounds intriguing. Have not thought about yoga.

  51. November 18, 2013 / 4:34 pm

    i think my levels are all in a right mess and need rebalance

  52. November 18, 2013 / 8:52 pm

    I am about to embark on a new career, and I need to get to a place where I can confidentally move forward, and I am trying to find positive and afirming ways to do this. I think this workout would help with that.

  53. November 18, 2013 / 9:29 pm
