This yoga book about the chakras provides clarity and deep insights<\/h1>\n
The chakras have fascinated people for centuries and capture the imagination of yogis and those who listen to them. Despite their fascination with these mystical centers, many people know surprisingly little about them. Often it is only superficial insights that many are satisfied with.<\/p>\n
This book is intended to change that and provide a view that creates clarity about the origin and possibilities<\/strong> of this special knowledge. <\/a><\/p>\n The yoga book about the chakras takes a particularly detailed look at the chakras<\/strong>: at their historical origin<\/strong>, their actual philosophical meaning<\/strong> and their application<\/strong> both today in the 21st century and in their cradle in India more than 1000 years ago<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> Only if we first understand which world and which understanding of being the chakras originate from can we really use them for ourselves.<\/p>\n Then they become mystical gateways into the inner world of experience<\/strong>. This inner world is one in which we discover the landscapes of our soul. Here the soul travels from its contracted form back into an expanded cosmic form. <\/p>\n Citir eva cetanapad\u0101d avar\u016b\u1e0dh\u0101 cetyasa\u1e43kocin\u012b cittam || 5 ||<\/em><\/p>\n The mind is nothing other than the contraction of cosmic consciousness into graspable objects.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Pratyabhij\u00f1\u0101h\u1e5bdaya (5)<\/em><\/p>\n The chakras are the maps that guide us through these inner landscapes, maps that describe the journey of the soul into its true form. They are both a guide on the inner paths and an inspiration for all those who want to immerse themselves in the magic of inner experience. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Our comprehensive book on the chakras therefore describes the history and philosophical context in which this particular knowledge of the chakras was developed. As a guide through the jungle of Indian philosophy, we use excerpts from traditional texts and tantras to draw the pictures we need to understand the chakras. <\/p>\n Our comprehensive book on the chakras is divided into seven chapters and begins with a close look at yogic anatomy - the anatomy of experience<\/p>\n The chakra in the navel area is called ma\u1e47ip\u016braka (house of gemstones) because the body is permeated by v\u0101yu (pr\u0101\u1e47a) like gemstones on a string. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The j\u012bva, driven by the past virtuous and sinful karmas, whirls around in this great chakra with twelve spokes as long as it has not yet grasped the truth.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Dhy\u0101nabindhu Upani\u1e63ad (48-50)<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Yogic anatomy is the understanding of the human being that revolves around prana, koshas, nadis and the chakras<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What all these approaches have in common is that they are not concerned with a description of a fixed reality - as in Western anatomy - but rather with a drawing of an inner phenomenological space.<\/p>\n This inner space manifests itself in symbols and forces in the human being. At the same time, prana and chakras also draw a geometry of the mind. The mind here is not simply a space of experience, but also has a form, and it is along these forms that the self moves. <\/p>\n Yogic anatomy is the anatomy of experience<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> To explore Kundalini, we discover the Tantras that first discovered and described Kundalini.<\/p>\n We take a look at the Manthana Bhairava Tantra<\/a>, which describes the journey of Kundalini and understands the goddess as a dormant force that must unfold back to its original form along seven inner and cosmic locations.<\/p>\n Kundalini is ultimately the power of the soul, which in its unfolded form is one with the goddess Malini. A correct understanding of Kundalini is the gateway through which we can enter the chakras. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Finally, we look at the chakras, one by one. However, we will not use the classic description of the chakras from the New Age, but instead venture new ways of understanding them in the context of the power of the goddess. <\/p>\n First of all, we understand the Goddess as threefold, and this trinity as the power that manifests the subtle into the gross. The Goddess is Par\u0101, Par\u0101par\u0101 and Apar\u0101.<\/strong> <\/p>\n This is what the Manthana Bhairava Tantra says:<\/p>\n The Goddess, who is threefold, creates the threefold world in a tiny moment. O Lord of gods, the three gods, Brahm\u0101, Vi\u1e63\u1e47u and Rudra, and the three holy thrones are all created at once, where the one Lady of the gods dwells through her threefold nature. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n D<\/em><\/strong>his entire movable and immovable universe was created by her. It brings about the manifestation and dissolution of all things, all for the mere pleasure of the play of being. It creates the triune universe, the incredible city of the triangle <\/strong>.<\/em> Manth\u0101na Bhairava Tantram (35:14cd-16-17)<\/em><\/p>\n In this context, the chakras are both an expression of the power of the manifestation of the cosmic will of the Goddess and a ladder in which the individual can find its way back to the cosmic.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> Once we have discovered the chakras and their secrets, we will also look at the chakras in Kriya and Kundalini Yoga<\/strong> in our book.<\/p>\n Kundalini yoga is not the only way to experience the chakras, but it is an accessible way that can create a shared experience of the centers in a class. Especially yoga teachers looking for inspiration for their classes - be it Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga or Kriya Yoga - will benefit greatly from this chapter. <\/p>\n We use a lot of sound yoga in our kriyas and draw the goddess through the body in the form of sound. A beautiful and original way to teach Kundalini yoga. <\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> Finally, we also discover the Sat Chakra Nirupana<\/a>. An important text for our modern understanding of the chakras, as this text was the basis for C. G. Jung's psychologization of the chakras<\/a>, which is so fundamental to our understanding of the chakras today. <\/p>\n I am delighted that you have the courage to delve into the mystery of the chakras with us.<\/p>\n Isn't it like that? Sometimes we need a boat to carry us through the ocean of the mind into the space beyond. This is exactly what the chakras are: a vehicle to experience the cosmic beyond the individual. <\/p>\n Come with us on this journey.<\/p>\n Now we come to the adhara lotus (wuzel chakra). It is attached to the mouth (opening) of the su\u1e63umn\u0101 and is located below the genitals and above the anus... <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n It (the square in Muladhara) is of a brilliant yellow color and beautiful like lightning, as is the b\u012bja of dh\u0101ra (La\u1e43) that shines in it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n \u1e62a\u1e6d-Cakra-Nir\u016bpa\u1e47a<\/em><\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> This special yoga book about the chakras<\/a> is also part of our yoga teacher training courses<\/a> in an abridged form.<\/p>\n Yoga is a philosophy that always has something new to discover, not only in the realm of personal experience, but also through the diversity of its spiritual creations. These books can therefore accompany every yoga teacher for a lifetime, as they open a door to the wealth of yogic philosophy, history and practice. <\/p>\n This book is part of a larger series dealing with everything from yogic philosophy to teaching yoga,<\/a> including three books dedicated to yoga teacher training<\/a> in classical Hatha and Kundalini yoga.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>![\"Book](\"https:\/\/yogamatsya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/CKY_de_2_1.jpg\" "\\"chakras\\"")
