We are planning on exploring Chakras this week in class, the SEVEN Chakras of most Hindu traditions.
Chakras are the physical- metaphysical/spiritual centres of energy located in your body. They are literally about how you manage your energy.
Understanding and managing energy can give you some new windows and handles on your life. Chakras are, to my mind, "the psychology of the East" and of India in particular.
A lot of work with the Chakras is done through meditation and yoga. We are planning on this work with Chakras being preparatory to more serious work in class with meditation. Meditation or inner focus needs to be seen as the key to better communication both with God or The Big Universe, with self and with others
