Chakras and The Inner World

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

6 week series • Lecture, Discussion and Guided Practice

The chakras are energy centers in our spine and brain that hold the keys to our physical and emotional well-being. They are part of the essential fabric that make up our energy body and aura. Each chakra serves as a reservoir of stored experiences—our likes and dislikes, personality traits, and ingrained habits—that shape who we are and draw to us all our life circumstances.

A proper understanding of the chakras and of the laws that govern them can be a powerful tool on your journey to self-transformation.

Join us on this 6 week journey to gain deeper insights into your inner world, and achieve greater harmony and happiness by balancing these centers of subtle energy

In this series, we will:

  • Learn to locate the chakras in our body to have a direct experience of subtle energy

  • Practice postures/movement to cultivate deeper awareness of the chakras and their energies

  • Use affirmations, visualization, chanting, sound and various other tools to attune deeply and transform these energies

  • Explore various characteristics and qualities associated with each chakra and “befriend” them on our spiritual journey

  • Understand the law of Karma and how we can transmute and grow spiritually by balancing the energies in the chakras

Cost $120 for all 6 classes (Recordings available to those who register)

Contributing members of Ananda are welcome to attend the class in-person free of cost
