Chakras are the energetic centers where prana, or the vital life force, is either channeled or trapped. Each chakra corresponds to unique relationships in our lives and is associated with specific physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual considerations. We can deepen our understanding of the energetic centers through their associated asanas, bija (seed) mantras, elements, intentions, and qualities. Using these powerful investigative tools, we will explore the central qualities and questions governed by each chakra, and listen into the conversations among them. begin to reveal (and help heal) emotional, energetic, psychological, physical, spiritual, and relational imbalances.
