human talent and chakra

In the article above Gurmukh Khalsa puts down the chakras and its related human

talents, colour, shadow emotion and element. For the first chakra the human

talent is Acceptance. Does this mean that the first chakra will arise once the

person has perfected the art of acceptance. What is it that we have to accept

and how do i perfect this art?

 

Thanking you all in advance.

 

 

 

Have a peaceful life.......

This article is an excerpt from her book, "The Eight Human Talents",

which I definitely recommend. As she explains very beautifully in

it, yoga is primarily about self-acceptance - and that means all of

ourself: physical, emotional, spiritual. The practice of yoga and

meditation is really the first step in learning self-acceptance, and

working on exercises which stimulate the root chakra will help with

the practice of acceptance.

 

You can find examples of such exercises in her book, and many others:

these exercises include mulbhand (root lock), crow squats, and spinal

flex. You can also find complete kriyas to work on this (and every)

chakra.

 

At the same time, practicing the acceptance of everyone around us

(truly, aspects of ourselves) will accelerate the process. Accept

your friends, family, co-workers, everyone you meet. Accept the

world as it is, and you as you are right now. Even accept your

inability to accept everyone.

 

Accept the wonderful gift of this yoga.

 

Love & blessings,

Sadhant

I am teaching a series on the chakras, and have found Gurmukh's book to be great

resource.

 

In teaching the first chakra, I used the "Meditation into Being" with the

mantra "I am, I am"--a merger of the finite self with the infinite. It seemed

an acceptance of the "rightness" of our spirit having taken on physical form.

I'd like some feedback on use of this meditation for this chakra, and alternate

ideas. I also found this chakra difficult to find sets for--other than the

elimination sets. Any suggestions?

 

many thanks, sukhmani

Here is a list of sets for the chakras from the teacher's guide that

I posted a while ago:

 

<Kundaliniyoga/message/4432>

 

The guide also provides a meditation for each chakra (the same

meditations are also found in "Physical Wisdom" and "Meditation as

Medicine"). Sat Kriya is good for the root chakra, and

and "Meditation as Medicine" supplies some others as well.

 

Love & many blessings,

I'm teaching a chakra series too! :~) We just did the second chakra last

night. For the first I used the elimination set from Sadhana Guidelines.

It is a rather far out set and I think it is quite appropriate for a first

chakra class. The tail wagging exercise is very cool. I used a meditation

from _Transitions..._. I can't think of what it was called right now and I

can't get up because I'm nursing, but it had three or so parts and there was

"la" chanting and meditation on the first chakra and obsessions involved.

 

For the second chakra I used a set out of _Seven Days Seven Rays_ by Ravi

Sing. It was the Friday set, the "Love From Above" I beleave. There was a

second chakra focus as being a source of energy and foundation and

intuition. There is a good set in _An Inner Workout_ woman's manual too

that Sadhant mentioned I think called "Foundation for Infinity". I've never

taught a set out of that book, though because it's a woman's manual. Does

anyone think those sets are appropriate for men too? My husband was the one

who originally bought the book because he liked the sets and then he

realized it was a woman's manual and so never used it.

That sounds like Maha Shakti Pranayam

 

> that Sadhant mentioned I think called "Foundation for Infinity".

 

However, this set is actually recommended for the 7th chakra.

Absolutely. These are great sets for anyone.

 

Love to all!
