CHAKRA SHUDDHI MEDITATION WORKSHOP

With basic knowledge and having started your exploration of the chakra system you are now ready to learn the 3 step meditational technique of locating, stimulating and purifying each of the 8 main chakras.

Taking the information accumulated from your "Whirling Wonders" workshop or personal knowledge of the Chakra system, it is now time to expand your practice from using your awareness of the chakras in Asana (yogic postures) and bring it into your meditational practice as well!

In the Chakra Shuddhi Meditation Workshop (shuddhi = purification) we cover 3 individual meditations to start the process of Locating, Stimulating and Purifying each chakra. These are 3 of the 5 steps needed to awaken and rise the Kundalini Shakti. The final 2 stages must be practiced with a Master or Guru as the techniques are passed down only at the time the student is ready to practice them.

Please note that in order to attend this workshop you must already have a basic knowledge and understanding of the chakra system as the basics of each chakra will not be covered.

Furthering the exploration of the Pranic body (great for those who have a basic knowledge of the Chakra system, but not essential), Swooning Swara explores the physic nervous system that links the Chakras - the Nadis. Come along and find out how balance, explore and appreciate the influence the Nadis have over every aspect of your mental and physical health.

The Nadis - variously translated as "channels", "nerves", "veins", make up the composition of the subtle or yogic body in Tantra. Like the Chinese meridians, the nadis constitute channels of flow of subtle vital force or prana. The Nadis have a strong influence over the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems in the body as they interweave with each of the chakras up the spinal column and thus heavily influence and communicate to us about how our physical and mental bodies are or are not in balance. Although the pranic bodies holds a system of 72,000 Nadis, they can all be balanced and harmonized by learning the intricacies of the 3 main Nadis, Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. Come and learn what daily activities are optimized by running a certain Nadi's, how to get out of bed on the "right side" and which flow of energy will help digestion and sleeping.
