Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Ananda Ashram Presents CHAKRAS the psychic centres of YOGA & TANTRA PRESENTED BY YOGACHARYA Dr ANANDA BALAYOGI BHAVANANI Ananda Ashram at ICYER, Pondicherry, India. www.icyer.com Prana, the universal cosmic energy sets up great vortexes of psychic energy in certain parts of the nervous system, creating Psychic Centres known as Chakras or wheels of psychic energy. We are energized through the energy pathways known as Nadis and energy vortices known as Chakras. These psychic pathways and vortices are located in our energy body, the Pranamaya Kosha and go right up to the Anandamaya Kosha, the universal body. According to the Rishiculture Ashtanga Yoga tradition codified by Yogamaharishi Dr Swami Gitananda Giri, there are six lower and six higher Chakras making a total of 12 Chakras. The lower chakras are known as the Pinda Chakras and are related to the physical body while the higher six chakras are the Anda Chakras related to the Cosmos. Chakras vibrate at very high speeds of vibration and at their highest speeds of vibration are related to the cosmos. At their lowest speeds of vibration they can be related to various parts of our neuro-endocrine system. The Chakras are usually depicted as lotuses with differing numbers of petals representing various qualities and energies of the Chakra. Each of the lower six Chakras has various neuro-endocrine correlates and is associated with one of the five Jnanendriyas or sensory organs as well as one of the five Karmendriyas or action senses. Each Chakra is also related to different psychological qualities and has specific Asanas and Pranayamas to focus the Chakric energies. They are also related to the subtle elements known as the Tanmatras and the Prana Vayus or subservient forms of Pranic energy.
